Annoys me that "less" is always correct, which makes "fewer" completely redundant, and yet it's a short word that could be valuable in conversation if opened up and reused for something everyday that has a long name.
"Before I leave the house, I always check that I've got my keys, phone, and fure in my pockets."
Possible. This bad boy makes up 5% of the UK power supply by itself:
For the love of God, Montresor!
Have they thought about what were doing when they saw them last, retraced their steps? I find that helps when I lose my keys. Always in the last place you look.
Ah, I thought that the Wendigo was posting about its love of the outdoors on its blog. The internet has ruined me. I suppose it would end up a bit hungry if it was that far from its neighbours.
Dang. It's going to take a dedicated regime to fill up a one gallon jar with, eh, fluids.
Yeah, but from the two billion tonnes a year of steel that's produced, about five percent is carbon added to iron, and about half of that remains in the final product, so that's about fifty million tonnes released to atmosphere. Whereas about three and a half billion tonnes of coal was burned for power, and that all ends up in the air. A seventy-fold reduction is quite significant; means we can selectively close the higher-sulfur-content mines for an even better improvement in air quality.
Ironic, since 2B doesn't have ass on any platform. My anaconda don't want none of that.
Oh yeah. Partying like its 1989 and I've booted up my Amiga. Let's get some unicycling friends in here and do some hacking in 3D.
Nah. Long-tailed owl, is that. Get a lot of them in our garden.
It's the Zelda that Nintendo "rushed out the door" - in order to get it to market in 15 months, they reused the engine and mostly reused the assets from Ocarina of Time. That's quite well-attested.
My theory is that the short development time meant that they had to just go with it. The design team knew the tools, so all the content is pretty polished. They didn't have time to refine it all, so there's loads of stuff that is just plain weird. No other Zelda game has a UFO abduction section, but someone spent ages on it and it takes up about a tenth of the map, so fuck it, it stays in. That all gives it quite a "daylight horror" vibe, which is unusual in gaming - seems quite normal until you scratch the surface. The "groundhog day" conceit also allows for quite a few "bad endings"; most games wouldn't allow things to go so wrong, but since you can put it right, it's okay.
Less time for focus groups also means that there's less time for Aonuma and Koizuma's original vision to be changed. I don't think it's the game that Nintendo would have wanted to put out the door, but since it was the only game available, then out it went. Which I appreciate, because it's my favourite game out the whole franchise. It's unusual for Nintendo to put out something so dark, doubly-so at the time.
Obviously, fuck the down-the-well bit; that just wastes your time.
I feel that 'gender' is probably a misleading term for the languages that have 'grammatical gender', it rarely has anything to do with genitalia. 'Noun class', where adjectives have to decline to agree with the class would fit better in most cases.
English essentially does not have decline adjectives, except for historical outliers like blond/e where no-one much cares if you don't bother, and uses his / hers / its / erc using a very predictable rule. So no 'grammatical gender'.
