In French, the number 99 is quatre-vingt-dix-neuf, which translates to 4-20-10-9. (4 x 20 + 10 + 9)

...which leads us to a crazier fact: it was once a common sentiment (in France) that French is the most logical language in the world. They said it with a straight face and everything.

Yeah, this always fucked with me when learning French, like how could you not just have words for higher numbers? ( -_-)

It's probably not his real name honestly

They don't and they don't care. They will put out a warrant and the next time you try to do anything state government related or get pulled over by the cops they force you to pay a fine.

You're funny

I've been mailed two in the last five years, by regular mail, and I just pretended they got lost...how would they know?

very cool

This is obviously a gross generalization but Japanese people are strongly xenophobic so it's not really surprising...

Shut up.

They're right though. This country is fucking sad ( -_-)

What? Rebirth runs worse on the Pro?

I've heard that MGS Delta and Borderlands 4 run worse on the Pro...is there a list of games somewhere?

I'll be pretty surprised if there's not season 2--with the way things ended, I assume it's already been written.

Just watch the Sandman on Netflix--that's a primary story arc...

That's an easy one.

1) Nuclear weapons were going to get used in war -- there is no reasonable scenario where such "wonderful" new war toys weren't going to get used in a war.

2) Given that, there were only two possibilities:

2a) limited use at the end of WWII

2b) massive use at the start of WWIII.

For once, the better time line happened.

That's a pretty shit take--like it's good the U.S. nuked civilians because hypothetically it could've been much worse >_>

Russia is definitely testing NATO because Putin knows that NATO doesn't want to fight them.

It's not really about appearance, it's a shifting cultural construct based on power dynamics. Benjamin Franklin said that only English people were really white. Irish and Italians were not considered white a century ago--and still aren't to many people. Even European Jews are not considered white now, even if they have the exact same complexion as English people.

Mmmmm, fried honey cookies...

That is definitely some interesting retruth right there...

Piccolo (specifically his father King Piccolo) was intentionally given the name of a small instrument to juxtapose to how much of a threat he was.

Anyway:

-Every pure-blooded Saiyan has a name basted on Vegetables.
-Bulma's whole family is named after underwear
-Gohan means rice
-Yamcha and Oolong are named after types of tea
-Krillin's name is supposed to mean chestnut
-The Giynu Force are named after dairy products
-Frieza is called that because the freezer is (sort of) where you store all your food

*Lists all food related items and underwear ( o_O)

Eh, I was expecting better combat from a Platinum game and the world seemed very lifeless and monotonous (and you can say that it's supposed to be given the setting but still...), but my biggest problem with the game was that the difficulty was off, like normal was too easy and hard was too hard so I never found a pace that I really grooved with. Anyway, it's definitely a unique, interesting and fairly fun game. Is there any other game that asks you to delete your save?

Because she was about to kill his girlfriend. The confrontation in general felt a little dumb overall. Would have been better if it was just his girlfriend and the other homie confronting them instead of a big ass squad of mfs.

We need the big ass squad of mfs for the alien to take out...

I think this show is great if you turn your brain off to the dumb stuff. I'm enjoying the hell out of it but I find myself forgiving a lot more than I usually would, probably because I'm a dumb Alien fan. These last two eps were filled with a lot of dumb, but its still really fun so idk if I even care.

I feel the same way. So much dumb stuff I'm probably forgiving because I'm an Alien fan but I feel like I've reached my limit...

How can it be both foreign and local? ( O_o)

I almost want to read the article just to confirm his name or if you're just fucking with us...

About to watch it and peeps are already discussing it in the episode 6 topic...

Because if it was carrying drugs that would be a good reason to kill 11 people ( -_-)

Anyway, lemons float, but limes sink

By "he" do you mean me?

Anyway, milk wagons are the reason why we have roadway lines:

Roadway lines were developed from the sight of Edward Hines, chairman of the Wayne County Road Commission in 1911, observing a leaking milk truck that left a white trail on the road. Hines recognized the potential for this trail to serve as a marker to guide traffic, leading him to advocate for painting a center line on roads to separate opposing traffic and improve safety

I'm sure most of you know this already but the Mercator map had greatly inflated the size of northern countries making Africa look much smaller in comparison.

Sekiro. Some of the checkpoints were just too far away for a boss that I had to fight like twenty times. It sucks too because I enjoyed the feel and aesthetic of the game.

How about the last time y'all touched a tree?

Ants dont have lungs

No insects have lungs; instead, they breathe using a system of tubes called tracheae that are open to the outside through pores called spiracles. Air enters these spiracles and then diffuses down the network of tracheae to reach the cells of the insect's body. Often these are on the insect's legs.

I was thinking of getting it for PS5 but the reviews have not been very positive...what are your experiences with the game?

I live in Asia with my Asian wife but we dont tend to wear slippers at home. We just go barefoot.

You're in Vietnam, right? In my personal experience, I've found that Southeast Asian cultures tend to go barefoot and East Asian cultures tend to wear slippers.

Curling shoes...are you Canadian or Finnish?

Damn, had no idea peeps on CE were so into shoes...
TMOG posted...

I've got four.

* Sneakers for everyday use and at work
* Boots for when it's raining or snowing
* Sandals for when the weather's nice enough for them
* Slippers (if they count) for around the house

This is pretty much the same as me. Do you come from an Asian culture as well? I don't feel like too many Americans wear slippers at home...

so Kola is Caramel or Toffe
and Koka is the word for Boiled

so as a kid i used to think Coca Cola was like boiled caramel

that oddly seems to make sense

Eh, it's worth a watch but I was a little disappointed in it, but maybe my expectations were too high.

Putting everything else aside, that comes off as a pretty passive aggressive back-handed apology. Like with severe undertones of: "my publicist made me say this bullshit so whatever, like I give a fuck"
