I’m sorry you had to hear it through the grapevine not much longer would she be thine.

I think those can all be obtained on Epstein Island

Corn tortillas are easy and taste great fresh. Buy Masa Harina and use the recipe on the bag. (2 cups masa harina, ½ tsp salt, 1½-2 cups hot water.)

If you aren’t sure enough to buy a 5-pound bag, Bob’s Red Mill sells a 624-gram bag with complete instructions on the back. Remember to plan ahead to let the dough rest an hour to absorb the water, and have waxed paper or a cut ziploc bag to flatten it between.

Don’t try to use corn meal or polenta. The nixtamalization of the corn before grinding is important.

Flour tortillas aren’t hard either, plenty recipes online.

What about rice farming? Lots of pictures of people knee deep in mud planting rice

It’s very possible it just never came up. Especially if it’s a male-run production. The male gaze just assumes a woman doesn’t have pit hair, and if she doesn’t think of it and bring it up, nobody does.

She probably takes her hairless pits for granted through long habit as we ll.

The rest of the job is basically rub “mud” product through her hair and all over her body. More attention paid to the face for closeups. (She’s got lipstick and contouring and probably mascara as well, a “no makeup” makeup.) Should some makeup artist have thought of it and glued some hair trimmings to her pits? Yes. But while it would be easy in this scene/pose, it would be uncomfortable and easily shed during scenes where she needs to use her arms, and then you run into continuity problems. (I don’t know the show but I assume she doesn’t spend the whole time crucified like that)

A relative truth: my Grammar is always correct, or so my Grampar tells me.

My bad, of course I know and love Doc. I guess I’m so old my eyes failed me late at night on my phone. 🥴

Oh God, of course it’s Doc, I was very tired last night. I’m not a huge fan of speach but I kinda like OP’s distinction between public and private speaking. I can even imagine a mnemonic, the ee is the little faces of the audience looking up at Einstein/Doc speechifying, the ea are the two people looking at each other in a conversation.

English degree and retired schoolmarm typing here.

If you and I were speaking in person, what we were doing could be described as the act of speech. (act and speech are both nouns in that phrase) For the past tense you would say we spoke.

Einstein up there looks like he’s giving a speech. Speech is a noun, like a candy, or a damn, which he could also give if he chose to.

Sounds like somewhere in elementary school you got corrected on the spelling in the context of “he gave a speech” and decided that spelling was special to that meaning.

Which is reasonable and allowed you to continue thinking

(incorrectly, but also reasonably)

speak–>speach

But the truth is more boring, it’s only the one word for ordinary and special speech. And the correct spelling is not the reasonable one you derived.

As to how it’s been this long…It’s the kind of error people might notice but assume it’s a typo and not bother to mention, because it’s not confusing.

Carves? They said wrote. Maybe she just used a Sharpie

Yes I was just thinking, that cat has complete control over the dog right now. He’s not gonna move a muscle

All oil/fat is about 100 calories per tablespoon. The “healthy” and “unhealthy” ones differ in their saturation (rule of thumb, refrigerate it and poke it with your thumb. The harder it is, the more saturated.) and any fat-soluble vitamins, but you pour or scoop a tablespoon, yer gettin’ a hundred calories.

You should be fine, 1,532 x 0 = 0 after all

My city takes garbage to landfills, so it would be burying, just with a few extra steps

What about the ones Made in China?

You forget, “quarter” also is the name of a coin here.

(And quarter is also housing for redcoats in our homes (which we refuse) and mercy in combat, and a vaguely one-fourth chunk of human when ripped apart by horses bolting in the primary directions.)

All 1,532 servings?

It’s spray oil to stop your real food from sticking when cooking at high temperatures. You wouldn’t want to use 100 grams. You might as well chug olive oil, and not the good olive oil at that.

Maybe they’re keeping a better balance of hydration to alcohol for their old brain, and not having a fruity or sweet taste but not boring plain water as well. Lite beer can occasionally be refreshing. Although personally I’d rather pour half a beer into a cup of ice than drink most light beers.
