The bumps on the bottom of salt and pepper shakers. (Video on facebook, not sure how to link it)

oh well, c&p maybe.https://www.facebook.com/coplinsara/videos/2416120848459351/
too risky; didn't c&p: To aid in making the pepper come out of the holes in the top, the salt shaker bottom is rubbed around the pepper shaker bottom in a circular motion, and the bumps on each cause a vibration that aids the pepper flow.

it is a pretty strong fuckin pepper to be fair! two decades' worth of mellowed/cooked-down habanero sauce has obscured this relatively non-negotiable fact of life

I learned today that in some countries some nappy brands make different nappies for boys and girls
― kinder, Tuesday, 1 January 2019 21:27 (five years ago) link
Hate to be the one to tell you this but. Boys and girls are built differently, especially around the nappy region. The difference is salient. I speak from 11+ years of experience changing both sorts.
I don't love the trucks vs. princesses or Hulk vs. Barbie stuff, but I think it's reasonable to acknowledge that boy pee and girl pee go in different directions.

I've had two babies and I don't think I've ever seen separate nappies for sale! I mean, it makes sense. If I was doing reusables I'd pad them out differently. I suddenly panicked and wondered if I should've been paying attention to whether the baby on the packaging picture was a boy or girl.
― kinder, Tuesday, 1 January 2019 22:58 (five years ago) link
They had separately gendered nappies available when my kids needed them, over 20 years ago.

When I was in junior high (1982-82) a local Cleveland DJ recorded a parody of Buckner & Garcia's "Pac-Man Fever" called "Beaner Fever," which was indeed about Mexicans. It got played over the Cleveland airwaves regularly.

Narcissus and daffodil are, broadly speaking, the same plant.
So the story about Sigmund Freud presenting Virginia Woolf (his English publisher) with a narcissus? It seems rather more homey and pedestrian than I'd been led to imagine. He needn't have consulted a botanist or florist. He probably didn't intend some grand statement based on mythology and psychology. He probably wasn't trying to subtly throw shade on her.
Indeed, he might have just hastily scooped up something from the Woolfs' dooryard, a few minutes before their meeting.
A whole allegedly revealing anecdote, undone by simple taxonomy.

Only today discovered that the British employment of 'corn' may refer more broadly to a variety of grain, which clears up what I'd previously believed to be confusingly-anachronistic pre-1492 references to the existence of maize in Europe.
