While some part of me misses my fortress cubicle and undershelf lamp, complete with pillar obstructing the window so I had just two vertical slits...

I still only did good work there when I was alone in the office, usually before or after most people's office hours.

Once enough people showed up it just became a daily social event ritual. This was well before covid.

It's low hanging fruit and there's already a bunch of chuds talking about historical accuracies of the cast, so it's unlikely going to produce much meaningful discourse.

(Writing and horses were more important than bronze anyway. I think some ~~Brit~~Dane just came up with the metal ages to begin with, and they aren't used with the Americas.)

It's all a little fuzzy but essentially the Gros Michel was THE cultivar of banana, but it became susceptible to a disease. It still exists, but can't be farmed like it used to be.

The chemical was developed and likened to the Gros Michel variety in mind for it being called 'banana' flavor since the Cavendish (i think?) hadn't yet replaced the world market as the banana cultivar of choice.

Nothing like FMLA to signal your employer to scrutinize the minutia of your job performance.

Lift toes and feet, kick heels out as hard as you can. Hold.

Doesn't always stop it, but can help considerably if you start before it fully fires off.

These kinda memes tend to rely on passive prejudice and ignorance to hit.
