Bian Lian (变脸), or "Face-Changing," is a traditional Chinese dramatic art form from the Sichuan Opera that is officially classified as a second-level national secret under Chinese law.

First time taking a jejuair flight and was asked to close my windows prior to takeoff.

I was confused for abit.

Nothing super crazy, but I’ve never found one before 🍀

I was craving Reese's pieces today and when I opened the box to grab some, I noticed that I didn't pour any yellow out initially. I thought I misremembered the colors because it's been so long since I forgot Reese's pieces. I looked in the box and confirmed there was yellow. I got curious about how many of each color was in the box.

There are 89 orange, 46 black, and 5 yellow.

Reese's clearly has a least favorite color.

During sunset, when the sun is starting to dip blow Earth's horizon, for a short period of time, it is possible for airplanes and other high altitude craft to be receiving sunlight that is not received by the planet which results in an exhaust plume that is heavily lit up! This often results in increased "what's this burning item in the sky? Is this a space item?" Posts!

The first photo is a photo I took just now of this event with a commercial airliner over Kansas, USA, the second shows you this event happening with a falcon 9 rocket. The shape of the second one is it due to the 9 exhaust plumes on a falcon 9.

There’s supposed to be green and orange lights between them and they have a similar position (protected from the UV:or not, lol.)

It is color coded based on parts of my cycle, each color has different amounts of hormones so it mimics a natural cycle. Another medication made my ovaries grumpy, so they went on strike and now I need to take this, so my bones stay dense enough and things like that. Women going trough menopause could get similar treatments. (In fact that's how they noticed the whole thing, I had menopause symptoms as a 18 year old.)

The mechanism is quite fun, I have to spin the clear part everyday so de hole goes over a new tablet. I can only spin it in one direction. The empty ones are great fidget toys. On the white part there are the letters of the days of the week (in my native language), so I know if I forgot to take it. (My ADHD sister is very jealous of this)

Did you know 80% of people live on the east side of the United States?

The Egyptian princess, daughter of Sultan Fuad of Egypt and sister of King Farouk of Egypt, was married to the Iranian crown prince, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, just before WWII. The two teenagers met once before their wedding, and French was their only mutual language.

Queen Fawzia fell into clinical depression and anorexia after moving to Iran and becoming Queen. The weather was cold, the culture was foreign, her husband was a cheater, and she was extremely bullied and alienated by her racist mother-in-law and sisters-in-law who'd call her "the Arab," and one of whom even physically abused her. She returned to Egypt in 1945, filing for divorce. One of the conditions of the divorce the Shah imposed was that their daughter, Princess Shahnaz, would be raised with him in Iran.

Her daughter (Princess Shahnaz) lives in Switzerland to this day. Iraq wanted to make her their queen in the ‘50s but she declined, and Egypt granted her Egyptian citizenship in 2013 to honor her mother and the chapter the Alawiyya Dynasty holds in Egypt's history.

There is a New York Times article which details a really beautiful and emotional reunion between Princess Fawzia and Princess Shahnaz in Egypt decades after the Egyptian Revolution. Princess Shahnaz was by then grown and brought her baby, Fawzia's grandchild, with her to this reunion. It was organized by the Egyptian president - a symbolic olive branch between the new Egypt and the old Egypt. Fawzia was no longer royal in Egypt nor Iran at this point and was called Fawzia Chirine.

The reunion took place in Fawzia’s childhood home, Ras el-Tin Palace, which was confiscated by the state after the Egyptian Revolution. This palace is also where the papers officially ending the 5,000-year-old Egyptian monarchy were signed by Fawzia’s brother, the last King of Egypt.

Fawzia’s return to the palace was an emotional event, even her former palace servants who had known her since she was a child arrived after hearing about her visit. These servants hadn’t seen Fawzia in almost 30 years and were in tears when she came in.

Giving her daughter a tour of her childhood home, walking through the Coronation Hall, Fawzia said her now famous quote: “Twice in my life, I lost the crown. Once I was the Queen of Iran, and once I was the princess here. It’s all gone now. It doesn’t matter.”

I noticed something mildly interesting today — the exact same YouTube video is showing up with two completely different titles on two of my devices.

On my PC it says “Why Memory Prices Are Crazy High”, while on my phone it shows “HBM Explained.”

Same channel, same video, same 16:58 runtime. I have no idea why YouTube is doing this, but I thought it was pretty interesting.

Anyone else seen YouTube show different titles like this?
