I’m ok with most British English spellings of words (ex. colour, tyre, draught), but my brain cannot accept “paycheque”

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

I thought it had been accepted as an exonym, not just an endonym

Cross-referencing the list of areas served from the Wikipedia page for Arby’s with a map of which countries commonly have bidets, we can determine that this tweet is funniest in the nations of Egypt and Türkiye.

Side-note: Why does Wikipedia still spell the country’s name as Turkey rather than Türkiye?

 

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)
