It comes from Wōdnesdæg, for the Germanic god Woden, aka Odin. I prefer Odin’s Day myself.

NSFW@lemmy.world•Is it realistic for a 31-year-old woman, whose ex-boyfriend was abusive, to date a 21- year-old guy?English
4·2 months agoI dont see why not. He would be young, perhaps naive and inexperienced; in other words, he would seem to be a “safe” choice. Realistically, he too would probably end up being abusive, a disturbing and unfortunate reality that the abused often unwittingly continue the cycle. It’s extremely difficult to recognize and break. This type of story could be very dark and sad.

Cooking @lemmy.world•I have dyspraxia can you guide me buying a liquid measurer?
11·2 months agoI agree that weight is the best way to go, however not all recipes use weight and some conversions do not work well. An adjustable measuring device like this may help: https://www.oxo.com/2-cup-adjustable-measuring-cup.html
A diploma does not create opportunities, but not having one will close doors. I know because I don’t have one. If it will only take a year, get the degree if it doesn’t break the bank. Otherwise, stay employed and stay relevant with current tech by getting/renewing certifications every couple of years.
I need insurance too, so finding a job with benefits is important. I didn’t say the changes were easy. I have jumped from the frying pan into the fire, so mistakes have been made and i have learned from them. Change takes a lot of hard work and perseverance, but worth it in the end.
Life is too short to be miserable at work. My attitude is that I need a job, but I don’t need this job. I have changed jobs many times, and will do again if necessary.

I think she has a quest for you; and it’s clearly to get her food.
While knowledge of electricity dates back centuries, common electrification didn’t start until the 1880s when Canada, Australia, Japan, the UK, and the US each had a small rudimentary system in place, but the countries were hardly electrified. Since it’s not yet 2080, it cannot be said Africa has been denied electrification for centuries, just one century at best. From there i would have to ask why should it be Europe’s or China’s responsibility to electrify Africa? After visiting South Africa last year, and I cannot speak about other nations; it’s readily apparent that they themselves are the deniers of electricity and other pieces of modern infrastructure. I have no doubt or illusions that forces outside SA play a role in this, but the people and government of SA need to determine what it is they want.



The classic margarita. Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and just a little bit of sweetener to take the edge off the acidity, or omit it altogether. Serve over ice.
