Korea has the usual international suspects, but as far as local chains go, there is one: Lotteria. Their burgers are OK. Somewhere between Rotten Ronnie's and BK's. There are quite a few smaller, non-chain places that make decent burgers, though.

Bangai Oh! Had custom levels you could load by playing a sound file into the mic on the DS. Wild stuff!

Ahh, but with a billion, you would be important enough.

I also have no clue whether Ethiopians need any rice

The Ethiopian famine was 30 years ago. Not that they haven't had troubles off-and-on since then.

Sleep with pornstar. Excessive hush money. Boom!

I just wish more people would talk about her music instead of her gender. I know she's bitter or dissatisfied about Switched on Bach, but I still listen to it regularly. There aren't many pieces of instrumental music that can actually make me laugh, but it does. Bach works on synth so well. Largely due to Carlos' efforts.

Thanks?

Definitely. I'm currently living the dream. Four day work week with about twenty hours a week actual work. My wife and I own and run the place, so no overseers. I have enough money and free time to indulge hobbies, spend a lot of time with my daughter, and hit the gym five times a week. I'm probably the happiest, middle-aged person I know.

I know it's a bit of a silly example, but in the public school in Korea where I taught for a while, teachers would write their Windows passwords on post-its and stick them to the monitors. Haha!

I only pirate music and books anymore. I do consume it all. Well, most of it. Sometimes I'll download a series of books and not jive with the first one or something. The music always gets listened to. More than once, too! I'm easy to please. Or I have good taste.

Prime 2 is great. Dread is really good, too. Really, it's only Other: M that bears avoidance.

Haha! It's textbook ham-fisted. I hope they never let that director make another.

Even the name of the game (Other: M, a half-assed anagram of "Mother") is super lame

And then Nintendo turned her into a mewling idiot in Other: M.

Oh, you mean the "fewer than" symbol? (Some people do call it that.)

I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was ... oh shit... years ago.

It's a real-life thing. Look at any comedic actor from the past fifty years, and then image search up a picture of their wife. The discrepancy in physical attractiveness is almost always glaring. Humor (and money) is attractive.

I can't tell if you made this example randomly, or were actually present for the last discussion of this exact same thing. Either way, it's pretty funny. How many gallons in your average cop? They look pretty voluminous in general.

OK, so I'm a prescriptivist and don't agree. As mentioned in the paragraph before the one you quoted. Should we just let any old thing that slips into common usage to become the norm? Why not spell it "definately"? It's very common and everyone understands it.

I'm all for evolving language, but the fewer words we use, the less elegant it becomes. IMO of course.

Haha! Fair enough.
