TIL
I could have gone on not knowing.
I'll never listen to Alive the same way again.
Edit:
From the Wikipedia article, at least the official origin story doesn't make that connection...
In an early promotional interview, Vedder said that the name "Pearl Jam" was a reference to his great-grandmother Pearl, who was married to a Native American and had a special recipe for peyote-laced jam. In a 2006 cover story for Rolling Stone, Vedder admitted that this story was "total bullshit", but he did have a great-grandma named Pearl. Ament and McCready explained that Ament came up with "pearl", and that the band later settled on Pearl Jam after attending a Neil Young concert, in which he extended his songs as improvisations of 15–20 minutes in length.
However the band's founding members came from a band called Mother Love Bone, so I think we're free to draw our own conclusions.
19 states do not have laws banning public school staff from using corporal punishment against students. You can probably guess their geography.
More surprising, somehow those laws don't apply to staff at private schools. Just 2 states don't allow private school staff to spank kids.

I'm 43 and just learned recently that taco shells need to be warmed in the oven to taste their best and it makes a colossal difference. I ate them as a kid and never liked them and pretty much always went soft shell throughout life. Now I'm a taco junkie.
The soft tortillas also taste better if you heat them up first. Oven, skillet, or microwave all work.
If you microwave, wrap them in a damp - not dripping, just moist - paper towel. Works wonders.
Last week:
Kalamata olives are not spelled "Katamala."
I've been wrong my entire life.
Years ago:
"An attorney has a duty to zealously defend the rights of their client."
I was under the misapprehension that was "jealously." Eggcorn!
In my defense, "jealously guarding" is a thing.

Why not both?
I just learned that Microsoft One Drive is a steaming pile of shit.

I had never seen it until a few weeks ago. This description is spot on.

that's the one.
EDIT: whoops, I missed the bit on IMDB saying his scenes were deleted. I hope they're out there, somewhere.
Ron Jeremy? Or Robert DeNiro?
Lol. Ron Jeremy.
Yeah I've seen movies with him in it too.
Toothpaste expires.
On a long enough timeline, everything expires.
Except Twinkies. They will still be around after the heat death of the universe.
I've been hearing "lefty loosey, righty tighty" my whole life, but I've never been clear on which direction or part of the circle I should orient myself to. It's a circle; regardless of which way I turn, equal parts of it are going left and right!
You'd think at some point in the past almost 5 decades someone would have thought to say "treat it like the handle or screw head is a steering wheel."

Righty tighty is clockwise.
