a building for horses or relatively unchanging.
What about a relatively unchanging building for horses? Would that be a stable stable, or a stable2?

In short, “chancellor” and “cancer” come from the same root.

The word “stable” can mean a building for horses or relatively unchanging.
Both come from the latin verb “stáre” which means “to stand”.

As a producer but not as a writer or a director.

So are they just going to keep pumping out new Matrix movies every few years from now on? It reminds me of Planet of the Apes, where the first movie was a groundbreaking sci-fi concept, but subsequent releases got worse and worse until the franchise became nothing more than annual blockbuster popcorn flicks.

The studio announced that a fifth “Matrix” movie is in development. It’ll be the first installment without Lana or Lily Wachowski as directors. Instead, “The Martian” screenwriter Drew Goddard will handle filmmaking duties. He will also write the script and produce with his partner at Goddard Textiles, Sarah Esberg. Lana Wachowski, who helmed the most recent “Matrix” installment, 2021’s “Resurrections,” is attached as an executive producer.
It’s not clear who from the “Matrix” universe — Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss have anchored all of the prior movies as Neo and Trinity, while Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris and Priyanka Chopra Jonas joined in the most recent iteration — will return.
Plot details haven’t been revealed, but Warner Bros. Motion Pictures president of production Jesse Ehrman teases that the story will advance the fantasy world without straying too far from what made the series a success.

Rocky Mountain Oysters are a thing that exists. In Canada, they are known as Prairie Oysters.
They’re made from… well… do you actually want to know?

The top 29% is unoccupiable vanity height. Jeddah Tower was projected to be up to 37% unusable. Doubling that to 2 km, if they make it a tall, thin, pointy Y-shape, it would be over 50% unusable, at which point it wouldn’t officially be considered a building but an observation tower.

But that doesn’t matter because Mohammed bin Salman has a trillion dollars at his disposal to make vanity projects and no one can contradict him.

I wonder what the occupancy rate is for the Burj Khalifa. If it isn’t high, then building an even taller building (or even just another the same size) would be pointless.

Saudi Arabia says they want to make a 2 kilometer tall skyscraper.
The AJ can reveal that Foster + Partners is working on the multibillion-dollar project to build the world’s tallest building – a 2km-high skyscraper in Riyadh twice the height of the current record holder
The scheme, reportedly backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), would be more than double the height of SOM’s 828m-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai, completed in 2010.
Keep in mind they couldn’t even finish their 1 kilometer tower because of corruption, and their 170 kilometer long The Line horizontal city has been shortened to just 2.4 kilometers.

I might be confusing different stories, but there was this guy who believed eating rotten meat would make him immortal. He died when his balcony collapsed and he fell off a cliff.

The word “dunce” comes from the name of catholic philosopher-theologian John Duns Scotus.
Because his followers argued against Renaissance humanism, the humanists and reformers used the term “duns” or “dunce” as a term of abuse and a synonym for one incapable of scholarship. The meaning of the word later expanded to any stupid person.
A dunce cap is a conical hat that a school pupil is forced to wear to indicate that he or she is a dunce.

the original leatherman from the Village People, Glenn Hughes, was straight (although he did get the idea for the costume at a gay bar, but they don’t always check your bona fides at the front back door).
He was replaced with Eric Anzalone, also straight, after getting lung cancer.
