I was reminded of the existance of the word "parboil" recently. It kinda surprised me how I just hadn't thought of the word for ages.

Ads, kind of.

Pretty much the only ones I ever see or hear are physical phones outdoors and the occasional one on podcasts that I'm too lazy to skip over. When ever I see a person showing me a YouTube video for example and an ad pops up there's always this second of confusion untill I remember that this is the experience of most people online.

Off topic, I admit, but 6x8. I always forget what 6x8 is.

If it's any help, 6×8 is one less than 7×7.

It's a piece of lumber that is 6" by 8", and is excellent for building wooden structures that need to hold a lot of weight. I helped my dad build a tractor bridge from those once.

Hebeas corpus, except I remembered today because Trump is talking about getting rid of it and ushering in the darkest, most unamerican timeline ever. He's doing pretty much everything the founding fathers wanted to reject.

I'm not sure if Omaha is a state, city, or neither. I knew at ine point, but I don't anymore.
