Un collègue a ramené de l'Inka Muna du Pérou. C'est sous forme de tisane. La page wiki de l'Inka Muna en anglais indique qu'il s'agit d'une plante carminative et aphrodisiaque. Autant aphrodisiaque, j'ai un doute, autant je confirme le coté carminatif. Ca va faire 2-3 heures que je suis en mode B25 au décollage. #TheMoreYouKnow #LeSachiezTu

People describe certain terms as a portmanteau of two other words, e.g. "fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe".

This of course assumes that everyone knows what "portmanteau" means.

Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau, from port and tomato, coined in Paris when a nervous apprentice chef mixed port into tomato soup by accident.

Escoffier, thinking it genius, declared all fine dishes should now blend unlikely ingredients. Thus began haute cuisine.

Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau, derived from Elizabethan-era street urchins who couldn't afford shoes binding their feet with whatever discarded leather they could scrounge, inevitably smooshing their toes into one big clumpy mass, known as "poor man's toe".

Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau, derived from King Henry VIII's porter Manfield Touse, who invented a two compartment travelling chest for HRH - Henry being known as a neat freak liked to keep his dirty underwear separate from his fresh underwear when travelling.

Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau, combining port, from the Latin "portus" (harbour), and "manteau", a type of cloak.

In olden times, children of dockworkers would sneak into taverns by stacking themselves under one of these cloaks, pretending to be a tall adult.

Because it'll probably be relevant to some people in the very near future, I'd like to call attention to the fact that you can't livestream on without first meeting some bullshit criteria about creating some number of "Shorts" *and* what short of engagement they get.

@zzclaybourne Thank you for this gift. Soup is a food group in my household, but I didn't know that soup could remake gods. #TheMoreYouKnow

Portmanteau is actually a combination of "portman" and "tow", from the Norman "teau".

In olden times, the portman would stand on an oared tugboat and tow boats into harbour two at a time, with a rope over each shoulder.

You approving every single follower (and thereby disallowing me to immediately assign you to a list) will make you end up in my home feed - which is an unconsumable mess. I will still follow you, but never actually see you again.

@arstechnica
Just a reminder that the 'A' in 'AI' stands for:
Artificial - Insincere; fake, forced or feigned. Not natural or normal: imposed arbitrarily or without regard to the specifics or normal circumstances of a person, a situation, etc.

It's literally NO intelligence. It can't think. It's a toaster that talks based on the things it recorded.

"Catbus, how much of a rip-off are jarred spices, actually?" I'm glad you asked! Just refilled this with lovely fresh organic cumin from the co-op for $1.71, compared to a smaller jar of dusty stale cumin from the supermarket for $7 #themoreyouknow

my Ikea spice jar which I just refilled from empty with organic cumin from the co-op for $1.71
