I hadn’t played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃

Why does a language have different words for different concepts?

It’s an abbreviation.

Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it’s not an acronym.

On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they’re spoken as the letters rather than the “word” they create.

FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.

That’s…not an acronym. That’d just be LG.

I mean, apparently we’re getting hurricanes in Tennessee now, so it’s fuckin happening.

Reasonable chance he never wrote one and Biden just said that to pacify the media.

Hmm, I think you’re right about sterilization vs gunk removal. Got those mixed up.

A note on alcohol as a cleaner:

~~Alcohol is actually a more potent solvent when in solution with water. 70% isopropyl alcohol is so prevalent because it’s actually more effective than higher concentrations. ~~

Spherical isosceles triangle, in this particular example.

The FBI recently came into some hard evidence about Russia’s interference actions.

“Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

It remains a life goal of mine to befriend a murder of crows, and teach them to say “run” to people going for a stroll in the park.

Coastlines are indeed fractals, and a similar argument could be made for any border defined by natural phenomena (so like, not the long straight US/Canada border).

As does Google chat. It’s been standard for years now.

I mean yeah, that’s funny, but I just like high quality pixel art and 2000 was the last generation before they ditched that (or I guess, the pixels got too small to see)

I prefer 2000, myself

Toilets with threatening auras, you say?

(Bonus points: this bathroom was labeled “country” and the one next to it was labeled “western”)

SO MUCH of the SovCit BS is dudes trying to get out of child support. I used to wonder why even the True Believers didn’t call these guys out for being assholes, but then seeing how often it’s about avoiding child support, I realized it’s because these groups are composed in large part by OTHER dudes trying to do the same thing, of course they’re not gonna call the other guy out.

Alas, still depressed
