I still think about how my Cuban former coworker pronounced Popeye the Sailor as poh-pee-yay

I did consider that. Using standard notation, the lowercase “he” as opposed to a capital “He” would mean that Judah is the subject, not God. Nevertheless, the first sentence implies that even with God, Judah was incapable to affect those with iron chariots.

 

Referencing Judges 1:19 - “And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.”

And Chrysomallon squamiferum, “the only known extant animal that incorporates iron sulfide into its skeleton (into both its sclerites and into its shell as an exoskeleton)”.

At least 609 million people would understand. Hindi is the third most common (spoken) language globally.

My biggest gripe with cooking instructions is the non-specificity. “Stir pasta frequently”? How frequently? How continuously? Tell me in unit Hertz

 

The first 300 customers received this custom printed torso. Even though the queue to enter stretched to almost behind the building when I got in line and I had to wait 1 1/2 hours after the opening to even enter, I was still able to acquire one of these torsos. To celebrate the opening, there was a giant inflatable(?) minifigure in the parking lot, a live string band outside, free coffee and build-a-minifigure, displays by MichLUG, and Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader cosplayers. So glad to have a B&M nearby (but my wallet won’t be happy about it)

I beg to differ

What do you think the word “titular” means?

The theme was essentially Lego City, but with mechs and a focus on their power source. I decided to take this prompt and put mechs in the most mundane and impractical City environment possible: office work.

Working mechs need their cup of coffee/motor oil to keep them energized

Being a mech doesn’t make pencil-pushing or working on spreadsheets any more exciting. The computer, of course, is powered by cute animal pictures.

This mechanized mop bucket is powered by… er.. the messes it cleans up.

Mech Corp.’s CEO gives the quarterly reports. His levitating bow tie is powered by money, and the design is meant to evoke Baron Harkonnen’s or Emperor Palpatine’s life support systems.

I realize I did push the definition of “mech” a bit throughout, but I wanted to go for the absurd.
