The Māori monarchy dates back to the 19th Century, when different Māori tribes decided to create a unifying figure similar to that of a European monarch in order to try to prevent the widespread loss of land to New Zealand's British colonisers and to preserve Māori culture. The role is largely ceremonial.

AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn't work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I'd rather just work with what I've got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations
that makes a lot of sense! I'm very grateful to be part of an academic community that seems to value open access, as well of part of a university that pays for access and submission to most of the journals I need to use
I've only ever published in open access journals (partially because I've only got 3 papers out, but also out of preference) is it just prestige that makes people go with pay-to-view journals? or are there other factors?
Nausicaa is my favourite film :)! the soundtrack is so bizarre in the best way
(the last film I watched was Kiki's delivery service, also recommend that to everyone! it's a lot more relaxing and kid-friendly than Nausicaa though)
Using ",,," as ellipses here is a pretty interesting tone indication feature!
On Tumblr, "..." ended up having connotations of judgement or anger, so to avoid that, people evolved to use ",,," as a softer version (often implying a more silly/amused tone) instead !
As a non-fiction lover, it's not the length of the chapter that matters, it's whether they have exercises for the reader, (e.g., puzzles, recipes) or some sort of pull-out-infographic or map to look at
It's only really fine if someone calls me an appearance-based compliment if they're my partner or a woman that I'm close to.
For reference, 1 litre of ice cream has about 180g of sugar in it. This milkshake is approx 0.95L and 263g, so 1.54x more sugar than straight ice cream.
(I wouldn't recommend eating a litre of ice cream all in one go either)

the wet bulb temperature^1^ is just the temperature of a wet thermometer, and varies with humidity and temperature. Wet bulb temp is never higher than the dry bulb temp, so (entertainingly) you're proposing that the meaning of 100° varies wildly and is always lower than the true temperature, effectively making the air temperature always ≥100°, and increases when the air is drier, like some sort of inverse relative humidity.
^1^(I'm aware you probably didn't mean wet bulb temperature here, but let's have fun with the idea) :)
