The girth one makes little sense. The holes are labeled, left from right:
- small / no size
- medium / regular size
- large / royal size
- largest / extra size

Could I even formulate a coherent sentence?
Do you speak Italian? Or maybe Latin.

Exactly what I was thinking. Plus he seemed to have a good sense of humor too. But on the other hand, it would take him much longer to respond to questions on the spot (usually he’d prepare answers ahead of time for interviews and such).

States of matter and species are both cases where we drew the lines based on what we thought was obvious. Then we ran into cases that were not so obvious anymore and challenged how we define these lines.

What version of the Bible did you get that from? Cain killed Abel out of jealousy, nobody asked him to sacrifice anything other than the occasional farm animal.

Nowhere did I ever imply that ascii art was the only thing available

- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 2 weeks ago:
If only ASCII art was available, then Windows 95 itself wouldn’t have been possible, being a graphical OS. Games in the 70s and 80s had non-ascii graphics.

A site charging for reading messages will most definitely censor out emails and phone numbers and will have it in their ToS that you’re not allowed to take conversations outside the platform.

don’t stick your nose into other people’s business
That’s a slightly different expression than “mind your beeswax”. I was thinking there’s no equivalent in Romanian, “mind your business” is already simple and direct, and you can replace “business” with something context-relevant. But for “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business” there are multiple equivalent expressions: “don’t come in where your pot is not boiling”, “don’t come in like a fly in milk”, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting now.

But I’m genuinely curious what that is. Doesn’t look like a city manhole cover, which would have some identifying markings on it.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 months ago:
I just never got used to it. I grew up drinking club soda or sparkling mineral water. Also milk, I would drink a liters of milk a day for a time, but no water. Flat water just doesn’t do it for me. If it’s ice cold, it’s ok, but I never think “I feel like I’d like some water now”.

It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 months ago:
No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.
