Her name is a nod to her Indian heritage on her mother's side and in her 2019 memoir, Harris wrote that she pronounced it "Comma-la" and that it means "lotus flower." [...] Still, Trump continues to say "Kah-MAH-la."

I was sure this was going to be the other way around. Strange and less bad than I expected. It's mostly just an accent thing, not a change in sounds.

When the war was obviously in the 'last stand' phase for the Imperial Japanese Navy, they sent their pride, the largest battleship in the world, Yamato, with just nine light escorts to run itself aground on the shore of Okinawa island and act as an unsinkable fortress there. Unfortunately it had to go past about eleven carriers with almost 400 aircraft and... it didn't make it.

Does that mean 15? Sure, that’s probably normal.

Americans are weird.

That video never really answers the question...

"Yes, we've laid waste to your lands, but think of how much we could exploit them (and you, of course) now!"

Damn right, they kicked the floor with him.

Some are drawn in too soon, but there are some that are held out too long, believe it or not. I hope you get to enjoy as much of the time you have, and that you come to peace with the end, whenever it comes, hopefully with as little unpleasantness as possible.

Please accept an awkward hug from a stranger...

...in what way is it planned? Prognosis or resolution?

Why are these posts getting downvoted? I don't get it.

Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries [...]

Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.

Big head-to-body ratio = juvenile features = cute.

Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @bokster@lemmy.sdf.org was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I'm not even sure what i thought was between them...

Fun fact I read once: The most common last name in Hungary is not Magyar but actually Horvath. Which in Hungarian means "Croat".

And Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore. So it'd be like the most common name in America being Johnny Guatemala.

At least they’d have a new, renewable energy source and reduced energy consumption.

Flashbacks of "Whirlwind" by James Clavell...

The last graph: how in the world is Russia spending more than twice as much as the whole of Europe on research?

They are ordered according to the midpoint position, it seems.

Reprobable?

With a lot of junk inside yo trunk.

TIL, thank you.
