Townsends has a video on flips. He might have used a historical word for it.

In the conventional calendar, there wasn’t a year zero and it wasn’t skipped. Zero is the moment in time that we use to begin counting time. Think of an elementary school style number line: …-3_-2_-1_0_1_2_3…
Each number is one year apart. This makes the numbers measure something like Age. If you are 3 years old, you can count 3 years between 0 and 3.
But a year is not an Age. It is the span of time between ages, and the years we name are actually the spaces between the numbers in the number line. So the first year (1 AD/CE) is the first space after zero (between 0 and 1), and the negative first year (1 BC/BCE) is the first space before the 0 (between -1 and 0).
Then there is the astronomical calendar, which does have a year zero. They get this by naming the year (the space on the number line) after the number to the right side of the space on the number line.
Thanks, Obama! 😠
A bunch of posts are saying see a GP and/or Psychiatrist, and absolutely do that. But also make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home (you should have one anyway). This vaguely reminds me of that one Reddit post.

Hers a fair explanation, but in short there are different kinds of angels described in the abrahamic texts, and only some of them resemble the classical “human with a pair of wings” depiction. Many wings, many eyes, chimeric heads, elemental fire and light, and non-biological (to our understanding) forms are among the features of those depictions.
Do you have a source on that? I hadn’t seen any news to that effect that didn’t start with “Hamas Claims:”, and I can’t seem to dig anything up.

Should I continue to persist after I have cut this olive in twain, and one of the portions thereof in twain again, then I’ll live, I’ll have half an olive, and I’ll’ve halved half an olive.

Sounds like an angular motion joke.
I have a short calculus joke. It’s a little derivative.
There used to be a geology joke in there, but it got buried.
They are not a cleanup crew. They just look at the mess. The mess stays after they’re gone.
Is that Alan Tudyk?
No one here is advocating for that. “Stop funding genocide” is a far cry for “Channel your inner Dick Cheney”
