PLEASE tell me you sent this message via smoke signals.

CoMaps is a fork of Organic Maps, not a fork of OpenStreetMap. There are dozens if not hundreds of apps that use OpenStreetMap data.

An actual fork of OSM is FOSM which declined to switch from CC-BY-SA to ODbL.

spermy scat sometime soon

Looks like it's going to pick up Seattle's Space Needle. Quite insane. /c/confusingperspective

Lack of deveining?

Shocking twist: boldly estimating 99/100 of situations is less accurate (more hyperbolic) than asserting 33% or ⅓ or whatever is accurate.

You're asserting that three colinear line segments, with angles only of 0° and 180°, form a triangle?

OracleMaker was too problematic.

I call shenanigans!

I sometimes wondered if the factories used by Xiaomi (and those used by their target audience) shut down at night, as their early Mi Bands didn't permit night shift configurations.

It is, but it's unambiguous enough that OpenStreetMap adopted it instead of the British English term.

Does turning your head/body to face away from that car that refuses to move help much?

Please, more "sets the potato down" and "push a button" substitutions.

This is my temporary potato holder. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My temporary potato holder is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my temporary potato holder is useless. Without my temporary potato holder, I am useless. I must push a button on my temporary potato holder true. I must set the potato down straighter than my enemy who is trying to set a potato down on me. I must set the potato down on him before he sets a potato down on me. I will ...
My temporary potato holder and I know that what counts in setting potatoes down is not the potatoes we launch, the noise of our button pushes, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the anywhere you want that counts. We will hit ...
My temporary potato holder is human, even as I [am human], because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my temporary potato holder clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ...
Before God, I swear this creed. My temporary potato holder and I are the defenders of my yard. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

In democracies, laws exist to grant people freedom from the power of the state, not to grant the state freedom from the power of the people. Any laws that grant cops protection from the people are laws of a tyranny. We get only the protections of the state that our rights make possible and no more. Trading freedom for security gets us neither.

Correction: In democracies, laws exist to grant power to the state, not to grant people freedom from the state. For example, I'm guessing that in your nearest democracy, there's probably not a law granting you the freedom to stand still for more than a minute or lie down for more than a minute. The people's freedom is a default.

Now, perhaps what you were thinking of was that some laws have exceptions (that might be phrased as affirmative defenses). But those aren't granting freedom to the people, they are restricting law enforcement. It's like a "tax refund" — the government isn't giving you their money, it's returning your own money.

Close but not quite.

Might also avoid corn at the same time, if you're not getting pasture-fed eggs.

Given how many homographs and other homonyms English has (and presumably other languages, I've definitely seen one Hebrew homograph when vowels are removed), it doesn't sound like a complete stretch for this to be a similar homonym situation.

The capitalization for OsmAnd should be corrected. Please?
