ADX Florence, thanks to an earlier post about TSA ruling back their mandate that people take off their shoes at airport security control. Now I have nightmares.
Wait, how do you go from TSA policy on shoes to a supermax prison in Colorado?
Shoe bomber is the answer
This thing for a DIY air filter because I saw it here yesterday or two days ago
Looks interesting, might have to try it.

I only included pages from the English Wikipedia. There was quite a few visits to Wikipedia in my native language too.

I don't keep a browser history at all, but my most recent visit was to:
Taskmaster, as we tried to figure out how big the production team was! I don't think we figured out precisely, but larger than what my husband thought, just going off of how many editors and producers were listed.
Might it not also depend just on how you define "the production team"? Since editing is often termed "post-production", it would be reasonable to exclude the editors from the "production team". To me that term seems more to imply the lighting, cameras, audio, PAs, and other people actually on set, rather than the task writers or editors.

I'm super curious with what you roughly came up with! I never would have thought to look it up.
"More than four people in the room for writing tasks" is what we agreed on lmfao. So a very rough guess (he said less than, I said more than)
My browser history clears after every session.
I believe I last visited it to read the synopsis for the 2017 film The Ritual.
- 2-Pyrrolidone
- Fatah al-Islam
- Proto-Afroasiatic Language
- Atemrhythmisch angepasste Phonation (respiratory rhythmically adapted phonation?)
- Atemstütze (respiratory support)
The most recent one had to do with a drug I took in Disco Elysium - wanted to see if it actually exists.
Not sure about the second most recent anymore.
In university, I had learned about proto-indoeuropean and wanted to see if there's a common language ancestor for African language. Turns out there are several origin languages.
And the last two have to do with my SLP apprenticeship. Both are concepts learned about in voice therapy and the latter is also a concept learned about with singers

Vitamin B7 (Biotin)
I was looking up whether it is fat- or water soluble, because the former can be dangerous to your liver if you are taking supplements like I do. This was the only vitamin with far over 100% the recommended amount in said supplement.

- Bugsnax
- Sigmund Freud
- Doug Ducey
- Racial discrimination in jury selection
- Jaguar
- City of Gastronomy
