![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

I can taste the salt through this post.
The recipe: put 300mL of soy sauce in 1.2L of broth
Me: weird but they must know what they're doing
Me, after putting in the soy sauce and checking the dish pictures: yeah no it was 30mL.

In Japanese, someone who is only attracted to conventional good looks is called a "face-eater" (menkui 面食い).

Sometimes you do find historically accurate info about Japan online. This ancient art of Dutch-catching is called dejima-jutsu and it has applications in business, health, personal relationships, and politics.
![Painting of the artificial island of Dejima off Nagasaki, the only official port where foreigners, but only the Dutch, could trade with Japan during the country's isolationist period known as Sakoku that lasted from the early 17th century to the mid 19th century.
The joke caption above says: "The japanese [sic] built an artificial island, knowing these are the natural habitat of the dutch [sic]. Soon afterwards, a flock of dutch [sic] merchants settled there, allowing the japanese [sic] to easily harvest western goods."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3a2vqx5jnnywl7jeap5d6xab/bafkreiansivpallmscizksaxalcivlmuarwgvp4ia7aftdwdiqflven7du@jpeg)

Also: Joey Batey remains an utter delight as Jaskier. He should be mentioned along other Perfect Castings like Jackman's Wolverine or Reeve's Superman. Can't get enough of him.
Letting you know that I enjoyed S4 of "The Witcher," and as a Pole, my opinion matters more. I do miss Cavill but Hemsworth is a good replacement and there are many scenes where you forget the actor changed. The action is *amazing,* Fishburne is cool, and Cahir leveling up in badass was chef's kiss.

They even keep the book-accurate scene of Macbeth motorboating his wife before killing the king.
These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art
