- Comment on Can witches fly? A historian unpacks the medieval invention − and skepticism − of the witch on a broomstick 3 months ago:
The theory I heard was the ointment referenced was made from plants that are members of the nightshade family. These were applied vaginally, perhaps using the broom handle. And then apparently the high includes the sensation of flying. It seemed like an odd explanation but I’m surprised it was not mentioned in the article.

EVs require much less maintenance…dealers make much of their money from… maintenance! So they mark up the sale price to compensate for their lost revenue.

People are going to start to wonder what they have all the Windows OS for when all they do is run a browser. If someone makes a less hassle Linux distro…that runs well on Arm… Well we could finally have some advancement in mobile computing. ChromeOS was almost it but Google made it all cloud and Google only.
