My guess is there may also be an H, for Light, Regular and Heavy flow. Besides size its what they are usually designed for.

US and … maybe Israel? Those are the two countries that use the US “Simple English” while the rest of us know what a U is for and how to say Z… so if they also both used F that would track.

Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to both worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

Trainspotting
You haven’t depluralised this, you morphed it from a viewing activity to a veritable “shit-down”.

Looks like it was a combo of both, reading about it further. www.rd.com/…/americans-british-pronounce-zee/
Regional dialects at first, but then the dictionary declared it the official pronunciation and shortly after the song was produced, which would have spread the use from being regional and encouraged homogenization

And at least they aren’t being cut so fast that the last episode will come out as Riker playing on the holodeck just as the show was getting into the good stuff.

Americans used to pronounce Z the same as the rest of the world until someone wrote the ABC song and decided it needed to rhyme with V, and then an entire generation grew up saying it wrong and it stuck. At least that is what I’ve heard in Canada.
It’s also why there is a Canadian version of Sesame street where the last verse doesnt rhyme because up until the late 90s our TV censors used to straight up nope things that would cause kids to be confused about how things should be pronounced.

- Comment on The PS3's comeback was insane 3 months ago:
I still have my original PS3. Had to replace the hardrive once.
Still have the Wii, which had a bad disk reader in the first 30 days. I had to send it to the repair shop in Toronto and they had it fixed and back to me within 48 hours for free.
My first XBox 360 lasted 2 days past it’s 1 year warranty date and died. Disk drive thought everything was a DVD. MS wanted $100 for repairs plus shipping. I bought a used 360 instead for $80. That one also died 1 year later, red ring. Next one I bought a replacement, one of the lower end models. Lasted 10 days past the 1 year warranty… Then thought everything was a DVD… This keeps going. By the time 2016 rolled around I had gone through 10 of those pieces of shit. I finally gave up on the games I liked on that system, and I’ve never bought a new MS system since. I honestly wonder what their true sales were if you deduped it by removing replacements from their tally.
I have my original PS2, PS3, PS4, GameCube, SNES, Wii, Switch.
There are quality gaming consoles out there, and then there’s whatever the fuck MS spews onto the market.

- Comment on I LOVE POTATO SALAD 4 months ago:
Yes, good points. I didn’t mean they were exclusive or invented in north america, more that the concept of viewing mayo as a required part of a meat/starch based salad is a very NA perspective.
- Comment on I LOVE POTATO SALAD 4 months ago:
Nah, Germans have a delicious hot potato salad with no mayo, mayo salads are a North American thing. The French have a potato salad with no mayo as well.

I’m not trolling. This is simply not an illusion.
- Comment on woag 5 months ago:
Ok those rooms are certainly illusions. My mind was tricked and even after reading how they work I still cannot quite see how when I watch the video. A perfect illusion.
I still wouldn’t call the post for this thread an illusion as there is no trick, just pure perspective. You simply tilt your phone, you see what is happening, and you understand it because its basic physics you were taught in elementary.
This is like the amateur magician. A trickster that knows a few party tricks but is so bad at executing them they are no illusionist. But a master magician uses simple things like perspective and skill to create tricks that are such great illusions that the scientific mind cannot quite work out what has really just happened even though they know it’s a trick. This post is the amateur magician, the Ames room is the master. Both use perspective but in different ways on different levels.
