I quote this on an almost weekly basis at work and get zero looks of recognition from those around me. Definition of hostile work environment.

just took damage on realizing that the generation of people who will not understand this joke from Star Trek IV are already alive

three men are standing in front of a computer and one of them says " hello computer "

Alt: three men are standing in front of a computer and one of them says "hello computer" (it's that scene from Star Trek IV where Scotty does this. it's funny because he's an engineer and he doesn't know how to use a computer because you're not supposed to talk to computers but he doesn't know that.)

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!

Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.

From Merit’s beauty case, found inside Theban tomb (TT8) of Merit and her husband Kha in 1906. 📷 Museo Egizio

#Archaeology

Museo Egizio Turin photo showing a small, dark-blue, core-formed, round glass jar which tapers in at the shoulders below the neck. It has yellow, white, and light blue festoon decoration trailed around the main body. There is a single yellow trail just below the neck of the jar. There is a dark-blue circular glass lid, the top of which is adorned with two dark-blue duck heads with yellow bills, a yellow trailed stripe on the top of each duck’s head, and indents for their eyes. The jar is displayed on a perspex (?) stand against a grey background. Glass jar dimensions: 7.6 cm x 9.6 cm.

Core-forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core.
