I had to google this (because I'm not from the US) and I'd be super surprised if their tagline became "cooler than trousers but still covers your arse"

sorry, my mistake, I totally meant to say I value "community" not "communism" ;)

(also, I'm not North American!)

even if this is true, there are other, much cooler types of clothing than trousers that still cover your arse

when talking to my parents, if I say "community" instead of "communism," or "nobody deserves to starve" instead of "free food", and "help vulnerable people" instead of "benefits" and "everyone deserves to feel safe from harm" instead of XYZ - everyone wholeheartedly agrees!

But if I let them go off on a tangent without guiding them, then they're "anti woke" even though they don't know what woke means

The ecosystem of a mature tree is vastly different to that of a sapling.

Bristol Trees have a very cool calculator that illustrates the impact of replacing mature trees with saplings on CO2 - it takes about 35 years to get back to the same amount of CO2 loss. CO2 isn't the only thing that matters to the environment either, but you'd hope councils were aware of that too

I can imagine they had so much fun with this one

it's about a drug sniffer dog who bites off the balls of a mafia boss, runs away from witness protection, and gets adopted by a mailman.

It's definitely a stupid antics movie: at one point, a woman gets farted on by a zebra whilst holding a lit match

that makes a lot of sense! I'm very grateful to be part of an academic community that seems to value open access, as well of part of a university that pays for access and submission to most of the journals I need to use

we had See Spot Run (23% on rotten tomatoes) but it got taped over by another movie "accidentally" when I was 7 and I haven't seen it since...

having read the plot on Wikipedia, it features a lot more references to testicles than I remember

I've only ever published in open access journals (partially because I've only got 3 papers out, but also out of preference) is it just prestige that makes people go with pay-to-view journals? or are there other factors?

It has "1.4L" embossed into the glass :)! it's just hard to see in the photos

Hmm I might've been overambitious. Searching "glass water bottle with measurements" gets a few Amazon results but so many of them have "motivational" time labels but no ml markings...

There are quite a few listings for chemistry reagent type containers, too, which could maybe work?

The best thing I've found is this from Dunelm might be what you're after?
