Also a lot of municipal waste systems just don’t pick up general recycling from commercial buildings. Usually just one dumpster for trash and one for cardboard.

Not in the US. Professor is for college teachers.

Migration to Europe or Canada is essentially impossible unless you have skills that are in high demand.

Your updated number is still off by over a million. Not everyone over the age of 18 is eligible to vote. Not that it changes the point much, but you want to look for eligible voters vs over 18.

Solar eclipse is when the moon is between the sun and the earth. Lunar eclipse is when the earth is between the moon and the sun. A “new moon” is just when the side of the moon that we can see isn’t facing the sun.

Because they love everything from China. Genocide, pollution, woks, they love it all.

Outside of Australia and maybe NZ, a thong is a particularly revealing piece of underwear. A g-string. Thongs are called flip-flops.

Bioavailability of oral melatonin is very poor though. IIRC it’s about 10%, so that 5mg sounds about right.

It wooshed me on the first read, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the joke if your comment didn’t make me do a double take 🙂

The goose is only a nuisance if you don’t want to harm it (I’m in the not harming geese camp). If you’re planning on eating it, the aggressiveness just makes it easier to grab the neck and shake until paralysis.

Thank you for reminding me of the duck rape arms race. I had blocked out the reason behind the corkscrew penis.

COBOL predates DOS by more than 20 years though. It truly is ancient.

COBOL was developed in the late 50s

Type-C ports are a lot more sensitive to dirt in my experience. I can keep it working if I clean the port every couple weeks, but at this point I just pretend phones don’t have charging ports.

Through the wonder of colonialism the British do have good food. Just not their own.

commercial airlines crash less than once a month.
A lot less if you’re only counting advanced democracies. The last multi-casualty commercial plane crash in the US was in 2009, 15 years ago. I only make that multi-casualty caveat because otherwise you get weird one offs like a guy running into a landing strip and getting run over.
Even the one in 2009 was a fairly small propeller plane.

Totally fine for gaming.

- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 9 months ago:
My hardware is twice as powerful as anything that existed when the game was supposed to release. Still runs like dogshit. I log in once a year to see if the game is still trash. The game is still trash. It’s not a literal scam, but it might as well be because Chris Roberts hasn’t been able to actually complete a game since Wing Commander. Which I loved, and unfortunately that spurred me to flush $40 in the toilet.
- Comment on Do the people in Reniassance festivals pccurring in Brotain also speak with faked British accents, or do they ise faked French/Iralian accents? 1 year ago:
Their source is linguistic history. The English decided that the letter R only exists if it’s surrounded by vowels in the late 18th/ early 19th century.

It’s a crime for teachers, fire fighters, or police to strike where I live. They can literally be arrested for it.
