    • Chinese propaganda depicts Darth Vader as USA wielding his NATO lightsaber

    Jump

  • Lybia is not a NATO thing. UK, France and USA bombed some ships and ports in Libya, but I still remember the headlines and news that Germany didn't want anything to do with that.

    So it was a coordinated action between some members of NATO on their own.

    • Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"?

    Jump

  • But we have Eszett

    (s + z = ß)

    Jump

  • Nah man, that's just English.

    Other European languages are mostly completely phonetic with exceptions. English is a mess.

    You would just have to learn the clusters. Like in French "eaux" makes an /o/ sound, but it's always that same sound, wherever you encounter it.

    Polish looks like letter salad for the uninitiated, but is also consistent in its own rules. Cz = tsh, sz = sh and so on. Once you've cracked the code, it's not difficult to pronounce polish words.

    • To the center of the earth!📉

    Jump

  • It's even easier than going the triangle route.

    A four-corner shape always has 360° internally.

    So the internal angle of corner X is 360-(60+40+35).

    The exterior angle therefore is 360-360-(60+40+35) = 60+40+35 = 135

  • It could escape and mix with local wildlife and make the genetics all weird and complicated.

    • I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US

  • Note: this is just for your understanding, I'm not criticising you.

    It's the little things, like using NJ as a short form assuming everyone to know. Hong Kong is arguably more well known globally, but you spelled it out.

    The ones in the know often don't see the assumption.
