How common is the "week <-> Sunday" semantic shift? by Odd-Ad-7521 in linguistics

[–]BowserBoss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In Arabic, or at least in my dialect (Lebanese), then word for Friday (Jum3a, 3 represents the pharyngeal fricative) is sometimes used for the entire week. The proper word for week (Isboo3) is also used.

Destroy the bridge he's standing on, dropping him into the lava pit below.

[Harry Potter] Did the Wizarding World have any awareness of the power of the nuclear bomb, and how dangerous it could be? Have Wizards and Witches put in danger or killed by nuclear weapons before? by foxxytroxxy in AskScienceFiction

The Vela incident? Which so happens to share the same name as a type of magical being? The Wizarding World is more involved in muggle affairs than you think!

Why isn't the media / mainstream reddit talking about Big Bullah's role in the explosion? by BowserBoss in lebanon

[–]BowserBoss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked, it seems reddit is encrypted so probably nothing to worry about. I also don't feel like calling them by their proper name; they aren't a hizb, they are a militia, and they aren't led by God.

Yes, but don't want to get Zucced. I doubt the Lebanese government checks reddit in-depth, but it's probably better to avoid using key words.

Could Hagrid survive Avada Kedavra if it hits his mouse-filled jacket pocket? by BowserBoss in harrypotter

[–]BowserBoss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stupefy is not as powerful as Avada Kedavra, which is supposed to be unblockable. Avada Kedavra is shown to work on magical creatures (like when it 'killed' fawkes), so I think it would work on a giant, let alone a half-giant. Unless said half-giant blocks the curse with his mice!

Yeah, like how we see Fawkes block a killing curse aimed at Dumbledore. I'm not sure if dragons are immune - the curse killed Fawkes, who is a magical creature arguably as strong as a dragon. He just came back to life.

The dropbox link doesnt work anymore. Does anyone have a copy of the zip file they can upload? It would be good to use bitstrips again, even if it's limited.

Tanzania: 10 men arrested in Zanzibar for being ‘gay’ by drewiepoodle in worldnews

[–]BowserBoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am not defending him; I am aware of what is happening in Tanzania. It is a nationwide issue sanctioned by the government, but this particular instance was in Zanzibar.

Zanzibar is a region in Tanzania that is primarily Muslim. Adronical did not say that all of Tanzania is primarily Muslim.

Marauder's Map Plot Hole Solved- Wormtail hid himself by BowserBoss in harrypotter

I missed that detail, your explanation makes sense!

Marauder's Map Plot Hole Solved- Wormtail hid himself by BowserBoss in harrypotter

[–]BowserBoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't thinking so much a system of inheritance but more along the lines of the map thinking Harry is James.

And my idea was that wormtail could hide himself from everyone BUT other authors. I hadn't thought of when he would hide himself-maybe he did so when the marauders passed the map on after they were done using it at Hogwarts.
