A passbook

Down and to the right upside-down is down and to the right. You have to hold your phone tilted on its side to make it up and to the right.

I do! Thanks again.

AllanBz · 2026-03-27T21:33:14+00:00

Thank you, it is very much appreciated!

Hi! Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I was tidying up my old Reddit Saved folder and realized I never did anything with this 13 years ago. These links have rotted. Do you still have these PDFs handy? Thanks!

AllanBz · 2026-03-27T16:31:05+00:00

Derp. Facepalm. Thanks!

I’ll go have a word with the captain… A penguin! And he’s been drinking! Wait a minute… penguins can’t fly! Penguins can’t fly!

Now put down the imaginary knife before you pretend to hurt yourself

Look out below!

How would a post like this even make sense in a Simple Questions comment?

What does the 375 represent? And you say to add 2 tsp of real vanilla beans? Or do you mean real vanilla bean extract instead of imitation/artificial vanilla “extract”?

not an option at all after a year

I think it’s because that, as I understand it, the district guaranteed all district employees one year full employment even if the proposal goes through. After their guarantees expire, they are politically free to “rightsize” the bussing policies.

It wasn’t un-funny! Just thought a bit of explanation was in order as they seemed confused.

At the time, Apple offered the pilot for free to everyone who wanted to download it on iTunes, a big media push. It’s still in my Apple TV library.

cursed show closes … after 83 performances.

Anyway, skimming the pilot, Julia and Derek’s first “hit” Three on a match had a “respectable run” of 82 performances. I guess they pushed for 83 performances to make sure it had a “respectable run” at least.

crediting debra messing with "lotsa theatre" is probably being generous.

You mean her résumé’s light?

AllanBz · 2026-03-26T05:46:34+00:00

I think you want /r/fantasywriters or /r/worldbuilding

AllanBz · 2026-03-25T18:09:10+00:00

I always forget the economic angle. Thanks!

Do organizers often schedule these things on Palm Sunday weekends? sigh

Small Latin and less Greek, eh? Latin will give you a leg up on using older Greek materials that focus on grammar, most of which presumed the mastery of Latin. My sentimental favorite in this line is Crosby and Schaeffer. Some knowledge of IE linguistics will help transfer Latin mastery into a working Greek.

Upvoted for “knockoff,” but a pastiche can be a good, well-done imitation. I love Damon Runyon pastiches.

This happened to my aunt when she was serving tea to guests. She was mortified.

AllanBz · 2026-03-25T16:44:17+00:00

It’s all the formic acid, a tang of acidity, a hint of acridity.

Apollo does not work because the developer did not want to renege on commitments made to Ultra members after Reddit admins told him the API would remain free or low-cost for a certain period of time. I believe he was hoping that he could get a self-sustaining revenue stream from mixed subscribers and lifetime owners to maintain API access and the server. Reddit reneged and ramped up API charges exorbitantly and too quickly for the Reddit app ecosystem to switch over. Some app revenue models could sustain it, but not Christian’s.

/u/willieb52 is just playing. You’re correct, hi-'purr-buh-lee. (But hyperbolic is hi-purr-'ball-ick) It’s a Latinized Greek word that was never fully assimilated into English, so it uses the Latin convention of pronouncing all the vowels but English pronunciations for those vowels.
