That cheese sounds interesting, where would I find it?

Ted sounds like quite the importer/exporter. I feel like he should focus more on the imports than the exports. E.g. latex, diapers, chips and long matches.

Makes sense. Wanting to sleep is basically choosing unconsciousness over consciousness. Even when tired I’d rather be conscious.

Louis XVI was prosecuted and found guilty of high treason and crimes against the state by the National Convention during the French revolution, so it does happen from time to time.

They are not Kings and Queens

I understand the sentiment, but I hate this phrase. If any of the e.g. Scandinavian royals would exhibit this kind of behaviour and lawlessness, the monarchy would be dismantled in a heartbeat. It’s mostly for show, and the monarchy only exists for as long as the people want it to.

The majority of users are either a communist or almost a communist.

I was 97% communist at the last measurement. I think I will get the final 3% any day now, God willing.

a human produces 1.35 deaths per 100M miles driven

My car has been driven around 100k miles by a human, i.e. it has produced 0.00135 deaths. Is that like a third of a pinky toe?

Most.

(Also a made up statistic)

Doesn’t matter, everyone should brush, at least 2 times a day. And don’t forget to floss!

Shutting down FM broadcasting doesn’t mean shutting down radio; if you read the link, you’ll see that DAB is taking it’s place in those places.

That doesn’t help much if your country has shut down FM broadcasting though.

you were trying to be sarcastic, but instead you have…

Lol no, I know better than trying to be sarcastic online, I was making the same point as you (although less eloquently). Wholeheartedly agree with what you said!

Same with buying shoes; how do you expect me to go to the shoe store without having shoes to walk in?

And for glasses; how can I find my glasses without glasses?

From my experience in Norway, these are typical in context of daily speech: (…) km, m, dm (kinda rare), cm, mm

Don’t forget the Scandinavian mile! You and the Swedes use it all the time.

Still talking about R

To be fair, I haven’t seen that much talk about R over here, I think most people have moved on to Python or even Matlab.

Barely an inconvenience.

E.g. I have a plethora of grapes. We should stop using the term plethora because they could just say “a lot.”

That reminds me of the old joke:

A widow was holding a funeral for her husband, when a man asked if he could say a word. “Of course” said the widow, so he stood up and exclaimed “plethora!”. The widow replied “thanks, that means a lot”.

You can swear on the internet fyi

Maybe she didn’t want to though

bc I’m pretty

How pretty? Like a Scranton 7?

I’ve been happy with all my FatMax line of tools so far, especially the tape measure. Thanks for the tip on the utility knife, will look for it!
