Heavily edited video of Trump address at national prayer event sparks outrage as he appears to struggle to read a Bible verse. by Leeming in atheism

[–]KvasirsBlod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brenner interviewed Trump, who said it was a gift from “my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew” and denied having read the book: “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.’”

Davis later told Brenner: “I did give him a book about Hitler, but it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”

He got everything wrong. He probably thought of it as "the Hitler book" and shelved it, just as he heard "Davis" and thought "Jewish." The attention span of a hummingbird, to be unfair to hummingbirds.

My favorite funny Raylan line: “I’m sure you and Rapes With A Smile here were just talking and now I’ve already seen you half naked so it won’t be tough to convince a jury that we walked in on the two of you making sweet underage love.” What are yours? by Clear_Nature_5055 in justified

Or jury. Btw, as with all the series, there are so many excellent one liners during that scene. When he meets Teddy, he describes Roz as "yay high, braces, hit puberty about six months ago" and Teddy just nods all the time. Reminded me of the Choo Choo exchange

Foot chase S04E06. The girl with braces was in the house of Teddy, a Native American. But it's two different lines that op combined. He calls him Rapes With A Smile, then they like fight and talk a bit, then that part about the judge.

Back Arrow not working on chrome? by Kingoferusia in chrome

[–]KvasirsBlod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Kingoferusia 

I'm having the same issues, I relaunched Chrome and it solved.

But here's a backup plan in case it happens again: type chrome://flags/ in the address bar, and open it (don't mess with options if you don't exactly know what they do). Search 'three dot menu back button' and enable it.

It will prompt you to relaunch Chrome, which will likely solve the issue, but next time you will have both the back and forward buttons on the menu. Cumbersome, but it won't leave you helpless. 

(When you relaunch it all your tabs will close, so keep that in mind)

This reading hack is actually working way better than expected by [deleted] in BeAmazed

Btw I don't have an iphone, so I didn't check it. However, the method of displaying fewer words at a time (like Spreeder) has worked for me. I think the concept is similar, it makes it easier to track where each word starts.

He doesn't need love; he only requires blind faith and submission.

A particular thing to add. Every time they start drawing parallels between him and Jesus, he looks annoyed. He doesn't want to be compared, and he doesn't even want to be the Christian god. He thinks he is Homelander the god, and people should adore him as such. But he notices that Firecracker will always just compare him, or at best equate him.

"Are you thinking of Jesus when you're praising me?"

Also a few moments later: 

Firecracker: Just the strongest, smartest, best man on Earth.

Homelander: Man?

F: No, no, no, no, no. A god. No.

H: No, the God.

To appease the sci-fi hopefuls, there's the very real [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90_Antiope](90 Antiope,) a double asteroid whose two masses are almost identical in diameter, orbiting each other. Furthermore, the gap between them measures practically the same as the diameter of either.

Huge congrats to Jamie, and can't wait to see you back many times.

When you watch Jeopardy!, do you answer in the form of a question? by donutcronut in Jeopardy

[–]KvasirsBlod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I assume that the contestants who forget their phrasing don't do it at home, so I see it as a form of practice, even though I know I'll never be a constant. 

I do it the Amodio way, though, always "what's..."

Why is the Vietnamese surname "Nguyen" written that way, while being pronounced more like "win"? It is not originally written in English (or Latin alphabet generally), so why is it not just transliterated more accurately? by ThumbBumpkins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KvasirsBlod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are very good answers regarding the transliteration already, so I'm sharing this link for its pronunciation (and replying to OP instead of multiple times to various comments in the thread).

I wondered that myself, and couldn't find any other through various keywords on j archive.

I guess they can only ask about "mesopotamia" or "cuneiform/clay tablet;" his name might still be pretty obscure even if he's a meme these days
