  • What color was the ball?
    Grey, I suppose? It wasn't important until this question so it was kind of colorless, even though I could picture it.

  • What gender was the person that pushed the ball?
    Androgynous.

  • What did they look like?
    Nondescript.

  • What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?
    A bit larger than a softball.

  • What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?
    It was a rectangular table. It shifted from being smooth and grey to a lightly finished maple, then back again.

  • Important question:
    I didn't really think about these details until asked.

In all fairness, the article says the Nazi flag boat was hosed down when they tried to join the parade.

It still says a lot that our political climate let them think this was okay, but the people at the rally were not okay with it, or at least weren't okay being that obvious.

They have a skill floor that you need to overcome, usually early on. Once you do that, the formula for the rest of the game follows suit.
Bloodborne is my favorite souls game. If you find it too challenging, I'd recommend watching some let's plays which can have great advise. I don't typically watch his channel, but Jacksepticeye has a really informative playthrough. He's beaten the game so many times that he mostly just shows you the cheesy speed run methods for boss fights, however.

Call Her Daddy: title of a podcast
Question: what did going on this podcast do for Harris?
Answer: allowed her to reach young women in middle America that conventional news sources would not.

We need a new word for people with all the phobias. Bigot has lost its oomph, the pizaz, the gravitas.

30mph (48kmh) is the minimum, cars will also be going faster than that. Also, people need to cross the street, not just walk alongside it. Regardless, whether drivers or pedestrians are the issue, accidents happen. They are more likely to happen, and more likely to be fatal as vehicle speed increases.

From the Institute for Road Safety Research, page 2:
"According to an overview of recent studies (Rósen et al., 2011): at a collision speed of 20 km/h nearly all pedestrians survive a crash with a passenger car; about 90% survive at a collision speed of 40 km/h, at a collision speed of 80 km/h the number of survivors is less than 50%, and at a collision speed of 100 km/h only 10% of the pedestrians survive."

Areas with minimum speeds of 30mph in areas with pedestrians accept that at least 1 in 10 will die. This is easily reduced to negligible fatalities by having lower speed limits. Not doing so says we care more about saving some of the drivers' time than the lives of pedestrians.

My thoughts aren't in a language, so this always confused me as a benchmark.

Using the backs of spoons to apply spreads like jams or peanut butter is better than using a knife.

I was reminded it exists today, does that count?

I had amazing cauliflower wings once, haven't been able to recreate them.

I'll leave this here. Good resource for evaluating news sources as you come across them also.
