Episode 237 is their most recent one about her. There's at least one more, but I'm not sure how far back it is.

I would hope they recognize the Big Bang theory, given that the idea was first put forward by a Jesuit.

But seriously, a lot of people don't really get how big the switch from Latin was. My dad attended church pre- and post-Vatican II and said that so many people complained loudly that we'd no longer have mass in a dead language. I guess the Liturgy of the Eucharist used to be done with the priest facing away from the congregation and a lot of people also complained when it was done facing the congregation. God forbid the plebes feel like participants in their own religion.

Yikes! I had no idea about the immunoglobulin. It's better than the alternative, but I hope you never have to go through that again.

They're called tankies after the people who supported Soviet tanks crushing any kind of revolt in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. They think that all the negative stuff about Russia, et al. is just Western propaganda. Most leftists, including me, want nothing to do with them.

Definitely take a break! That's about the spot where most people struggle to get through. Take your time; there's a lot of setup, but the pacing is not great.

Also, I think book 8 is The One Without Mat, so it took me forever to get through it.

We do have "poultry" as a catch-all for domestic birds. Not exactly the same as beef/cow, but definitely has a Norman connection.

I spin yarn! I have a normal spinning wheel and a small electric, but I prefer spindles. I've just recently worked up the guts to finally touch some of my more luxurious fiber. It's really nice because I can sit down and watch a movie or listen to podcasts and not have to pay attention to my hands and if I get tired of sitting, I can easily walk around with it. I haven't actually knitted (or crocheted) with any of the yarn I've made, but I swear I will, just as soon as I find the perfect pattern.

It's not an expensive hobby to get into either. You can buy a cheap Turkish spindle and some decent wool for under $30 USD or you can even make a drop spindle with a CD and a dowel.

If there's a makerspace in your area, they might have a woodworking workshop.
