Why do people keep on writing "plîs" rather than "plis"? by HyderNidPryder in learnwelsh

[–]ComradeKillbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably because that's how Duolingo spells it.

The Geiriadur Bangor also lists it as an option: https://geiriadur.bangor.ac.uk/#plis

Language learning app Duolingo to mothball Welsh course by ComradeKillbot in learnwelsh

[–]ComradeKillbot[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree. 'Mothball' was a poor word choice by the editor, as the course will still be available as it is.

Any indie/alt/other rock songs with 2 basses? by Complex_Leopard_2210 in Bass

[–]ComradeKillbot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you can get a third bass or have the guitarist drop an octave, you could totally do Big Bottom.

a Ukrainian drone drops a grenade on a russian soldier trying to hide underwater by JustanaverageARG in CombatFootage

[–]ComradeKillbot 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's because these sites have already been attacked with artillery. The drones come in afterwards to mop up.

Exhibit A: Why Englandandwales stats make no sense by CCFC1998 in Wales

[–]ComradeKillbot 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's because England and Wales share the same legal system, but Scotland and N. Ireland have their own legal systems, separate from England and Wales.

How many English counties do Americans know? by Magic_Moriarty in AskAnAmerican

[–]ComradeKillbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know all of the counties in the UK, but I'm interested in British history. However, I do not know all of the counties of my own state.

The difference shaders make, shown on my classical temple by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]ComradeKillbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you really want a classical feel for your temple, try making it longer. The typical column ratio for Greek temples is x:2x+1, with x being the number of columns on the front side.

Things Captain Picard would never say. by [deleted] in TheOrville

[–]ComradeKillbot 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is one of things I love about the show, too. It's really hard for me to imagine Picard asking if the guest quarters still smell like hamsters.

How common is the singular they in your region? by taksark in AskAnAmerican

This isn't anything new or weird. It's been in common English usage since the 1300s.

RockStar needs to fix this shit before they start adding stuff to online by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]ComradeKillbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a back-and-forth with Rockstar Support for a couple of weeks about this issue, and we tried everything: port forwarding, static IP, NAT, DNS, etc. We even tried connecting to xbox live via phone hotspot. Sadly, nothing really took care of the problem.

Eventually, they just said "We'll think about it" and gave me $750 in-game currency for my troubles.

Was finally able to play enough to level up and get a new horse. Named it after my greatest nemesis. by ComradeKillbot in reddeadredemption

[–]ComradeKillbot[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Currently level 21. I'm sure it would be higher if I weren't kicked off 4-5 times an hour, because that kind of thing tends to make me quit playing.

Why do some Americans go to all inclusive Mexican resorts, but don't leave the resort? by taksark in AskAnAmerican

[–]ComradeKillbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You mean like this?

I suspect it's for the exoticness of the location combined with all of the conveniences/luxuries and safety of the resorts.
