5:19 The problem isn't that's cursive. The problem is that it is George Washington's signature. They'll have a better time if a calligrapher made them a pretty one to replace it with.
Look I can read and write cursive and would love to see that but today's generation (hell even the one prior) mostly cannot. I have TEACHERS arguing with me that it should be abolished. The education rates have gone way down. A lot of people under 30 have the ugliest handwriting you'll ever see, including just basic 'printing' for signing a card. The chicken scratches are pretty depressing. It's a dying artform at this point.

Nope. Aussie here. Cockatoos can cause legitimate property damage by eating the timber of people's houses, and the wiring on our street lights. We love em, but never underestimate em.

aljsfnkajfjaskhfjaklsgjlk TWO INDONESIAN REFERENCES IN MEANWHILE INTROS IN A SHORT WHILE????? Whoever wrote this in Stephen's writers' room, YOU'RE A G!!
To be fair.. I use to get lost without gps- when visiting cities I didn’t know, and there were detours, or construction. My ex-girlfriend would get into fights with me- now direction will never lead to a fight since gps on our phones 😊
I've never considered the cockatoo a particularly bright bird, but this one is welcome to all the Brioche in the known universe. Horses for courses, but it ranks right up there with marzipan and tripe for mine - clearly, I am in the minority.
I adore cats and have recused two from shelters but back in the 1980s my pal's Siamese crapped in my motorcycle cap. Such a malicious, deliberate act (yet I laughed at how clever that kitty was) but it didn't prevent me from adopting and loving cats. None,however, have ever peed in my shoes.
Am I tho only one this has actually happened to, then? About fifteen years ago, Josette the tabby peed in a shoe each from two of my favorite pairs. And much longer ago, Henry the panther, alarmed by the idea that we may be leaving him with the cat sitter for sole companion, peed in the suitcase we had just opened and placed on the bed.
@@chezmoi42 Cats pee/crap in not-litterbox things either because their litterbox isn't suitable for them, because they're sick and can't control it, or because they're feeling insecure. Humans usually interpret that last one as being the cat "getting back at them," but cats are not socially complex enough to understand or conceive of punishment like that. Peeing in _your_ shoes when _you've_ been severely disrespecting them is not a coincidence, but they're not exactly "mad." Deliberately peeing outside the litterbox is basically a whole cat language, tied to the fact that they're territorial. (If cats understood what a deed or a lease is, they would 100% expect their names to be on there, right next to ours.) Something you're doing is challenging their right to occupy their space, and they're challenging you right back, asserting their status as co-tenant. I highly recommend _My Cat From Hell_ if you want to understand cats better. Entertaining, and really good advice.
🤔 With all due respect to Dame Hellen Mirren, GPS does not exactly strike me as something one turns to because it provides a rewarding experience, beyond the fact that it helps one reach one's _destination._ I guess it's nice if you're tired of being lost, but you don't get lost if you know how to use a map.

the Mobius strip is a single-sided/faced, single-edged continuous loop with one twist so yes it is an endless loop

They were able to catch the cockatoo because after a month of brioche, that bird was too massive to fly.
They sent it to New Zealand to live among the Kakapos. And it became their white god king.
