I can already lick my own feet if I so choose.
- Comment on Bo'le of wa'er 3 days ago:
idomatically that’s exactly how it’s used - as one would say, “right?” “okay” “eh?” “feel me?” “dig?” “am I right?” “see?” “no?” at the end of a sentence in other epochs/cultures.

I checked the journey to the university near me. It’s currently 2pm on a Thursday, using live travel data
- car: 14 mins
- bike: 48 mins (route illegal, as you’d have to bike on the shoulder of a 4 lane freeway)
- public transport: 1h40m, 3 changes, each with a 7 min walk between them
- on foot: 2h46 mins

your link is broken but the howstuffworks page is quoting from the Wikipedia, which sources the GPS guidance to an anonymous post on globalsecurity.org - itsself not a bad source - however the method of delivery is they open the back of the aircraft, push the bomb on a wooden pallet out the door, wait a few seconds, activate a parachute, wait a few seconds for the gps to kick in, whereby “fins” guide it to its location.
You’ll forgive me for being skeptical about 8m precision on a remote-controlled parachute from 35,000 feet at 400mph
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
eh, I still don’t buy it.
WW2 was gonna be over by the second Christmas, Ukraine was a month-long special operation, etc…
Do you have an example on a similar population/campaign?
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
I’ll happily concede if you’ve got a source?
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
A fair correction. I’ll counter than the USA dropped more bombs than WW2 total on Vietnam, including dropping 100,000 tons of bombs on a 40 mile² area and a) didn’t kill everyone, b) didn’t even bomb every settlement in that area and c) lost.
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
Sure, just name a conflict that was resolved by bombing, with the exception of Hiroshima/Nagasaki- which im not counting because those were nukes, and Japan was on the verge of surrender anyway.
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
And was dropped approximately 100-200 meters (ie 1-2 football fields) off target.
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
Per your link: The MOAB was used once, has a 1 mile blast radius, and based on reports killed “only terrorists - 90 of them” “a bunch of people including teachers and students” and “no one”
Hardly definitive. Also, a 1 mile bomb killing fewer than 100 people?
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 6 days ago:
wouldn’t it be a 125–250 mile cable tops?
- Comment on Anon is Trump 6 days ago:
That assumes that bombing is effective, accurate and deadly, which is not the case.
Bombs have a 20% accuracy rate, where “on target” is about 2 football fields around the target lol.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
but “most” only needs to be 50% of sentences, and if you include puncutation, tone, context, speed, accent, cadence, pauses, pitch, volume, intent, method/medium, background noise…
- Comment on It's easy 1 week ago:
yes. Every now and then a boss o’ mine will make me post to LinkedIn about the company I’m currently working for - so I will write a David Foster Wallace style essay (previous ones include comparing business process automation platforms to different fictional orcs, or what my old mad Scottish housemate making pasta taught me about b2b sales…) until they stop asking.
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 1 week ago:
does thing
“hey the constitution says you cant!”
continues to do thing
hey the constitution says you cant!"

- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 1 week ago:
if he was the person to do that he probably wouldn’t have been the person to put himself in the position he was in. The ruthlessness and amorality is what floated him to the top.
- Comment on Anon creates a religion 1 week ago:
the name root thing isn’t quite correct. The root word connects to “sky god” and why Abraham’s religions are unique is because they are monotheistic in only having a sky god, whereas before the gods would’ve been of many things.
We also say “G/god” more than “deity” whose root is in “burial” rather than sky, and originally connotated a plurality of supernatural forces pre-Christianity, but came to mean a singular being during the spread of Christianity.

It’s part of the narrative of Bioshock Infinite - a guy has a matching mark on his hand to the poster. The cat in the meme is the “Boykisser” who generally represents m4m attraction, but has been repurposed in many ways for other orientations.

if we’re being dispassionate - inbreeding increases the risks of genetic issues but by no means guarantees it. Not that I’d recommend it.
- Comment on hotel hell 2 weeks ago:
i understand but also this is reality TV, one of the least respectable journalistic avant gardes that exists
- Comment on hotel hell 2 weeks ago:
yeah they were trying to make him into a sex symbol with this.
it’s a bizarre series as there’s also a highly questionable gadget that Gordo has that tells you how “clean” a room is, that he sticks under the toilet and goes, “it’s over 9000!” in every episode.
I sincerely doubt it’s more than a flashing light on a stick

oh ho! hee hee! ha ha!
But seriously folks…
I would pay on the door to avoid exactly this. Im one to dip if the scene isn’t my bag, but I would at least make the effort to turn up.

“fondant” is an equivalent, from the French “to melt” its now a noun.

From a misspent youth, I can tell you that many people, even straight men, ghost sex parties/moresomes, even with attractive cis women, even after paying a deposit in advance.

translation notes I’m guessing
“that yields seeds” could be “which yields seeds” or “doth yield seeds” or “yielding seeds” or “seed yielding” etc
