Interesting. I never knew about arrowroot.

@CowperKettle talk about touchy
@CowperKettle well, NOW I've seen everything
Putin's "court" has just halted the activities of the Anti-Corruption Foundation of Alexey Navalny.
The Foundation is accused of bein an extremist organization, and if the court eventually rules it as such, all people who participate in the Anti-Corruption Foundation will be persecuted on par with religious extremists and such.
They will have all their accounts frozen, forbidden to open new accounts. I mean even the personal accounts in any bank.
Posting a video of a corruption investigation online in a social network will be grounds for severe persecution. Even if you have never been a member of FBK (the name of the organization), you could get a hefty fine for this or get a jail term.
The court ruled that the case contains "state secret" materials and is thus closed for attendance by the public and the media.
It will be held in a completely airtight manner.
This is one of Putin's invention. A number of persons are now in jail and nobody knows what they are accused of exactly.
Because of some alleged "state secrecy".
Hello Folks.

I hope you understand me. Please help

Q: Would ELU like to start a trial of only need 3 votes to close/reopen a question?

curiousdanniiMany sites in the network are currently considering whether they would like reduced close/reopen vote requirements, from 5 down to 3, for a one month trial. As the close vote queue almost always has at least 100-200 questions, I thought this could be a site that could benefit from that. This wou...

we were back then, but that was a while ago
if we're still interested then I will tag it up for the attention of CMs

@MattE.Эллен I'm strongly opposed.
People like Asworth already close questions far, far too easily. The number of close-voters required should have grown with the number of eligible users.
And now they want to even decrease it?
slams paw on table
Over my immortal body!
Every up-vote by an eligible user should automatically cancel out one close-vote. Then the system would work.

Word of the day: metaphysis
I always forget it.
I never knew it.
And I forget that the synonym of tongue scalloping is crenated tongue.
And uteroplacental apoplexy is the same as Couvelaire's uterus

Are you a biologist?
No, a translator
Body parts are to biology what words are to a language: important, but super boring to memorise.

@Mitch Yay!
@Mitch Sent vaccines, I'm not sure, because India is a major producer of vaccines. Of raw materials, probably?
Many countries have said they will send medical supplies (like oxygen and breathing machines?) to India now.
