Sorry f= or the extra day delay with the NotNewsletter, Kentucky had some hellacious= ice storms yesterday and given the risk of losing power, we loaded up the = entire family and took off to get outside of the damage zone. Our house is = all electric so no power means no heat, no food, and no internet. We'= ve had power outages of a week-plus due to these ice storms before. T= he additional problem is even though the storms have stopped, it's not goin= g to be warm enough to melt anytime in the next week. We'll see how t= hings go. So far the power seems to be mostly holding, so we'll be d= oing a livestream tonight at 5 p.m. on [my Twitch ch= annel](3D"), assuming strong wind and heavy trees don't take out Dallan's hou= se between now and then. We're going to try to do Fark Friday Movie N= ight tomorrow (Friday) as well. Also, for TotalFarkers - got a = thing for you all. Look for it to post tomorrow afternoon.

Beyond Fark= n> We're sad to learn of the loss of our friend and former Fark mode= rator Fear_and_Loathing last year after a 10-year bat= tle with MS.

Fark Weird News Quiz (brought to you= by ox45tallboy) Another fun time on the Quiz = this week, although I'm still not quite sure how much oil is the right amou= nt in my air fryer. On the Quiz itself, Denjiro came out o= n top with 955, followed by FrancoFile in second with= 942 and Redh8t in third with 918, Pavia_Resi= stance made fourth with 904, and Yellow Beard= > made it into the top five with 883. The hardest question on this w= eek's Hard Quiz was over which state held attractions such as 200 replicas = of Terracotta Army soldiers, the World's Largest Dental Pick, and the ruins= of the childhood home of Truman Capote, Only 27% of quiztakers knew that a= s a child, Capote lived next door to future author Harper Lee in the city o= f Monroeville, Alabama. You can also see the Terracotta Army soldiers at Tr= oy University in Troy, and the World's Largest Dental Pick in the city of S= panish Fort. The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about w= hich country's Parliament had voted unanimously to declare the Proud Boys a= hate group. 88% of quiztakers knew that it was the home of the Proud Boys = founder Gavin McInnes - Canada. I think it does say something that when he = decided to start this (as he calls it) "gang," he did so in the US bec= ause he knew it wasn't going to go over well there. I think the only accept= able reason to fight in Canada is someone wearing the wrong hockey jersey. The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the new icon= for the Amazon App on iOS. Only 45% of quiztakers knew that Amazon has add= ed a strip of blue to the "arrow smile" to symbolize the ubiquitous blue ta= pe that is always impossible to tear off. Also, a bit of trivia: The "smile= arrow" actually goes from the "A" to the "Z" in "Amazon" to symbolize that= they carry everything from A to Z. The easiest question on th= e Easy Quiz was about which denomination of US currency was once again on t= rack to feature the likeness of former slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubma= n. 96% of quiztakers knew that she was set to replace Andrew Jackson on the= $20 bill. Hopefully they won't do something else silly like make it a weir= d pastel color like they keep doing to the $10 note. Ms. Tubman deserves a = really good looking note.
