Apparently one of the first changed events in the timeline was that the ship that went back in time attacked the USS Kelvin.

I'm glad that quick answer is there, no way I'm reading that whole thing.

"Beer has food value. Food has no beer value." -some t-shirt I saw once

For me, getting caught in a rain usually happens while I'm on a bike ride, leaving me cold and soaked.

Same, but getting caught in it usually sucks.

Seriously, who likes getting caught in the rain?

"I'm happy" - Pharrell Williams

Yeah, they did keep cutting the price to try to get us. The last offer was half the price of the one before it, which just made me think "if you can offer this, how much of a rip-off must the original price have been?"

I'd look at Japan as an example of how this can be well done. I spent a short time in a pretty rural Japanese suburb (like walking distance from farmland), but the place I stayed was a 10-minute walk from two 24-hour convenience stores along with several restaurants and other shops.

A big part of this is zoning - even in the most restrictive residential zone in Japan, you can build multi-family units and small shops, unlike in the US where most zoned land is single family housing only. Here's a great video that goes into more detail on Japan's zoning.

They get so mad lol. I did this once, and when the guy realized we never intended to buy, he said "Never come to one of these again". And I was like, "Stop sending me free vacation offers then!" (at least that's the comeback I came up with a few days later)

How could it be changed so it wouldn’t be?

I watched a video a while back that talks about how in Tokyo housing is seen as more of a consumer good than an investment, and explains why:

Have I been mispronunciating that too???

I like @DarthPutinKGB rounding out the list at #100.

The end of Darmok was pretty epic.

I made the mistake of pronouncing epitome as "ep-i-tome" for a while.

I believe it's pronounced "wstr"

Thanks for reminding me of these. A while back I met someone named Chateauneuf, and I tried to look up how to pronounce his name and found this very helpful answer.

Oh crap, which universe are we in?
