Oh damn, that’s a good point.

Ooohh!! I don’t think I’ve ever heard that word used in any context/conjugation other than the specific phrase
"I dub thee ‘Sir whatsit’ "
Or maybe that same sentence in past tense (“dubbed”).
I’ve definitely never heard it conjugated in present continuous. But it stands to reason that it would be a word.
Thanks!
Oh damn. I didn’t realise just how ahead of his time (by Anglosphere standards) Nader was. We’re 50 years on and just now are the evils of motornormativity starting to be more widely understood.
Personally I like the idea of a second house that is able to act as the house of review, thanks to its members having longer terms than the lower house. That’s a quality we have in Australia federally, but not in my home state of Queensland which is unicameral. It’s also something New Zealand lacks with its unicameral legislature (elected via MMP).
But I didn’t say you don’t remember anything. I just pointed out that anything you do think you remember…is very likely wrong. It might be correct, but you can’t know that.
Sorry I still don’t really understand. What does “unsafe at any speed” mean?

I have no idea what dubbing is that would require kneeling.
More Middle-earth. South is Harad, and north is Forodwaith. Both of which are regions of Middle-earth.
Oh neat. Are their maps actually being used by Microsoft’s Bing Maps or other user-facing products yet?
The unreliability of memory has been known pretty well for a long time. It’s why eye witness testimony in court should not be given nearly as much weight as the average person gives it.

Solved correctly in Copilot then copied it across wrong. Had to do a lot of googling to figure out what went into blue, and only got purple from the leftovers.
Wtf Oklahoma?
Assuming this is real (it’s not)
Proof?
Subtlety and nuance are great in art
They can be. But if that was the intention, that’s what the teacher should have said. “Dial it back” is a far cry from “your art would be more powerful with a more subtle message”. And anyway, sometimes the artist doesn’t want to be subtle and that’s ok too. Subtle art can be easy to misinterpret. Look at all the chadbros who idolise the characters in Fight Club.
I’m happy to see you’re not talking in the 3rd person anymore though.
Pretty sure they just didn’t have reason to refer to themselves in that comment. They’ve always used normal pronouns for other people.
Americans lost abortion rights because of the piss-weak Democratic party relying on a shaky legal foundation to keep them in place rather than legislating it themselves at any of the times they controlled the Senate, House, and White House under Carter, Clinton, Obama, or Biden. All of whome had a period where that was the case. It’s not feminists of any sort that are to blame.
I recall a couple of years ago some talk about a new open mapping initiative that Apple or some other big commerical players were going to be involved in. Separate from OSM. What ever happened to that?
I’m surprised that Apple Maps has a community
that is pretty much Tue same size as organic maps
Ftfy
Because like, what is there to talk about?
The serious answer is it’s juxtaposed with East and West. West being the Undying Lands of Valinor, and East being the much less well-explored Land of the Sun.
You actually can’t. Human memory is really quite terrible. Most of your older memories are likely distorted by other people telling you about them, or even just the natural decay that occurs whenever you recall a memory.
End the line with two spaces. That causes it to be treated as a “line break”, instead of a continuation of the same line (ending the line normally) or a new paragraph (the empty line).
