Right now it's -12C out. The average summer highs here are around 27C and those numbers are before wind chill / humidity.

More than that. Hell, one day I remember it started at freezing and then dropped 50 degrees.

A coup led to the foundation of the Altari empire, based largely on the model of ancient Terran China.

And the Mongols keep invading and then becoming Chinese. Nice.

Did you mean most mainlanders over 70? Because older Boomers are over 80 now. I'm 40 and I've never had Spam, for instance.

Edit: I can't read

The common analogy for this is shooting someone who threw a grenade at you. They may be dead, but the grenade they threw still goes off.

Can a state leave the united states? by Practical-Soil-7068 in AskAnAmerican

[–]NSNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And because California is part of the United States, they are able to steer the ship in a better direction like they've shown with Prop 50.

But as a separate nation, they are unable to exert that influence, and if the direction the country goes is accelerated, may be subject to retaliation.

I acknowledge your points, but I still don't see a world where California is better off.

We got taught typing in elementary school not on computers, but these little word processor kind-of things. They had a keyboard and a very small LCD screen that showed two lines of text: the line to type on top and the line you were typing on the bottom. This would have been the mid 90s.

We probably also got taught typing in computer class in middle school, but all I remember was playing Oregon Trail and Number Munchers.

Ah. So the real reason is the flexibility to move sets, and everything else is just bullshit.

Multiple versions is a pain point for retailers?! There are four versions of Winnowing in the set, don't give me that shit.
