At least most of us don't need to worry about time dilation caused by relatively yet. Have fun with that, space faring developers.

I love the attention to detail in the armor. It looks straight from 15th century Germany (well, the area eventually known as Germany)

The IDF must really love killing Palestinians. They can't even stop for a few days. They need an intervention

It's from one of them Laconian magnetar-class battleships

It comes from Latin iactare meaning "to cast". Over time the c was dropped as French evolved and the i shifted to a y consonant and we get yeter. Once it was borrowed into English it further changed as the -er was dropped and short e became a long ee following the great vowel shift.

I am lying but most of those bits are facts and I'm actually describing the etymology of jet. Also the proto Indo European ye is hilariously uncanny.

I feel this whole case is everything wrong with the justice system (aside from him actually facing consequences). A corrupt cop with a history of violence gets attacked in an overpopulated and understaffed prison where folks are punished instead of rehabilitated.

Gendered articles probably not but having "a" vs "the" removes the need for additional cases (eg. I/me/my). Latin and Russian don't have articles but they have more cases which have different suffixes that have to be applied to all nouns. Usually simplifying one part of language makes another part more complex. English has a very simple case structure but the word order is much more strict

Everyone get a job at Amazon and start posting slurs on twitter so we can take them both down at once

An 8-10 inch mid level chef knife. One with a single bevel made of quality steel that can hold an edge will make a world of difference. You haven't lived until you've cut paper thin potato slices like butter

It's more of a "fuck car dependent infrastructure" thing. In America it's basically impossible to live without a car in most places. We don't need to live this way and we should have the option to walk, bike, bus, train, etc as well as drive.

Try walking to the grocery store in a suburb and you'll quickly get sick of walking through big empty parking lots and along roads without sidewalks as cars whip past. I wouldn't even try biking since drivers will run you off the road. If there even is a bus it'll run every 2 hours and be 15 minutes late. And there is no train because we tore up the rail system that built this country to make auto company owners even richer
