When people use “different” with a preposition other than “from”. (Different to, different than)

I know it’s not technically wrong, but it just feels so wrong.

Also, when people add a phantom R between two words. “I’m a big fan of cinema ‘r’ and video games.”

Both stem from me not being a native English speaker, I think.

That’s a small thing?

I live in Canada, where eggs need to be refrigerated, and yet I’ve never seen a fridge with an egg holder. I already have an egg holder. The box they came in.

I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it’s not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

I hadn’t thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

I hope people don’t get pulled over for gaming a navigation app and a phone mount on their handlebars. That would suck.

I thought casting students as inanimate objects or plants only happened in TV shows.

I may be missing something, but why can’t you have the bank account and phone number both in Lebanon?

In a ranked choice system or other better voting system, yes.

In the current system, voting for anyone but the least bad choice among the two that stand a chance is almost like giving your vote to the one that has the best chances, regardless of your preferences.

Look up the spoiler effect in elections.

Or, CGP Grey has an excellent explanation of the whole thing.

That is not the question. The question is: it’s a binary choice. People should be aware that not voting helps the worst candidate win. Why not vote for the less bad candidate then?

Didn’t the US use to invade countries for much, much less of a reason than that? Sheesh.

These days I’m finding myself agreeing with the Iranian government more and more often because of Israel’s crap. I don’t like agreeing with the Iranian government.

Omelet composed of >60% frozen vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce.

It doesn’t hold itself together at all and it looks disgusting.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll see Bush v. Gore style recount shenanigans or worse. Trumpist “stop the steal” people have begun to infiltrate the election process, right?

Eh, not sure it’s got anything to do with the political spectrum anymore. At this point I’m not sure what to call it but the US and allies’ obsession for maintaining ties with Israel no matter what feels divorced from… Well, a lot of things, really. But among them the left/right spectrum.

I can’t talk much. Canada is also selling Israel the supplies they use to do their mass murdering.

The US has two parties: center-right and far right.

According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I’m a little confused.

I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it’s weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren’t too explicit.

There’s also smelting. Japan didn’t have the technology to completely melt iron, which complicates things.

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less “normal warfare” scenarios.

Yeah, our company has been meaning to transition to them for a while. I started saying Jsdoc comments but people complained about the pollution. Then I said fine, we’ll do TypeScript one day instead.

That one day has yet to come. I don’t actually get to decide much at this company, after all. Aah, technical debt.

Nope, don’t need to. WebStorm can even detect nonexistent attributes for objects whose format the back-end decides, and tbh I’m not sure what sort of sorcery it uses.

Windows. Can’t be arsed to deal with Linux.
