The ‘deck’ in “Deck the Halls” means “to decorate.”
But, it is not related or a shortening of ‘decorate.’
It comes from the Dutch word meaning “to cover.”
You also use it when you’re all “decked out.”

It's been a joy to watch the Braille periodic table project evolve. I'm just an observer and fan, but this artifact may nonetheless be one of my #FavoriteThings #photography #science #accessibility #BlueSkyArtShow

One of my #FavoriteThings is #koreanfood, especially if it's #homemade.
It was hard to choose a dish, but my homemade Korean soy-braised eggs, #GyeranJorim ( #계란조림), are always so pretty.
They're also little #umami bombs of joy. 😋

Long before flowers dazzled pollinators with brilliant colors and sweet scents, ancient plants used another feature to signal insects: heat. The findings in Science offer insights into what shaped the earliest eras of plant-animal coevolution.

My other recent @arstechnica.com story explains why a doggy DNA test probably can't predict your dog's behavior. It also includes bonus Max pictures!
Why is my dog like this? Current DNA tests won’t explain it to you.
Dog behavior is a lot more complicated than any one gene variant.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I've watched so many shows in Korean, Japanese & Chinese that my streaming services have stopped recommending shows in English.
