Yeah, must have crossed wires and the more dominant kids spread it. I have crunchy joints

I remember when I was in primary school it was told that it wasn't actually the amplified sound of your finger slapping against your palm and cavity formed by other fingers, but pockets of nitrogen in your knuckles. This made it harder for some kids to do it.

And how does this relate to what you wear to a job interview

Perth hailstorm of 2011. Every car was pockmarked for about a decade after, and some lawn chairs fell over. In the grand scheme of things, not that big

This feels like Napoleon's soldiers and the mamluks, or what was said about them.

Or something. Above a project of certain size, divisions of labour and stuff make the project complete faster, but before that it seems like a lot of extra busy work that slow down the project

For me, it was binging all of House and Stargate

Having no money and deciding that shouldn't stand between me and media I wouldn't pay for anyway. Also my local college's DC++ network, where someone had about 20 TB back in 2006 (which was a bit of a culture shock after having been banned from watching most TV during childhood).

Important for learning

We used to microwave bars of soap. They got bigger and harder to use as soap. Idk, kids do things

Tbf he was pretty successful

I would imagine that there would have to be a really good reason to happen, and the default is millions of different (albeit slightly) languages amongst an equal number of small communities. It takes empires and states to force a unified linguistic project, which is not necessarily pursued in all cases. If you've ever had a group of friends sort of develop their own cant, imagine how quickly it could change if it was 150 people who only contacted outside traders five times a year.

Language and politics is a huge part of linguistics (e.g. "a language is a dialect with an army and navy"). Certainly, since nationalism began there has been concerted efforts to unify languages around the powerful members of a nation (France explicitly does this with a legal structure, English has elitism in social structures). The borders of languages are forced categories of fuzzy culturally evolved systems. Who decides the line between German and Frisian?

The short answer is "Why would there be such a broad language?". The default case is diversification, being able to talk to someone across the world might be convenient every now and again compared to being able to talk to your local community every day.

I imagine it's been developed and lost periodically, and some people are averse to irrational numbers. Greece just had continual credit in our intellectual pedigree (as opposed to, say, the Babylonians who had more advanced trig than the Greeks before them and the Greeks were aware of them in some ways).

I think you also need a lot of rectangles and squares to find it necessary. I imagine buildings, but even today a lot of materials are cut to fit (also, the building I am in is not rectangular along any dimension). Maybe legal rectangular plots of land? Idk

Why haven't my Disney characters not all exploded from how much they don't go to the bathroom?

I remember conversations about this in 2008-ish maybe. I missed the start of the conversation so I laboured under the idea healthy living people were freezing themselves ala Futurama and not people who had just died or something. Still scammy probably but not as bonkers on the part of any party

All residential bathrooms are woke

The North Korean um... Times, I guess. /s

Certainly, a portion of r/cth's appeal was that it was openly left and didn't follow liberal rules of politeness, respect, or decorum

Test

Part of me likes poring over lists of slightly different things with complex interactions, but for the most part I think such rules are a relic back when the design philosophy seemed to be "use these dice" and "the players might do it, there should be a rule and probably a roll".

Also SR5 having drug effects separate to the drug prices, among many other things. I really want to see a more nerdy SR vidya but that probably won't happen

He looks grumpy :( possibly from the implied cold
