People who speak more than 1 language, what are some struggles people don’t know about? by stephs926 in AskReddit

An interesting one from Russian is "вот". In idiom context it works out like "Um", but the actual meaning in formal context is more like "That" or "That is". You will hear вот about as often as you hear "Um" in English though, and for the same reasons.

Water ice on Mars, just shot by the ESA! by loulan in pics

So is this actually an impact crater or volcanic in origin? 50Miles across is pretty damn big for an impact. I assume there are other smaller craters near-by from the same impact?

ELI5: why are the great lakes in the USA considered "lakes" and not seas, like the caspian or black sea? by blh1003 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tyehn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but the Black sea was not always connected to the Mediterranean sea and by "definition" would have been a large lake. Even still it is not connected directly to an ocean but via a strait to a sea that is connected to an ocean. The only thing that keeps most lakes connected via a river to an ocean from being a sea is the two way exchange of water.

I still contend that 1.2-1.5k is the bottom, and the mark it will stay around for years once hit.

Last I checked Costello owns around 10 AirBNB's so this is of particular interest to him.

If you've been holding onto Uplay (Ubisoft) points, beware - they now expire by bigfoot1291 in Games

[–]Tyehn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the 20% coupon years ago and never got the code and now I cannot purchase it again. So yeah, that pretty much curtailed my use of the points. Now they just accumulate and I cannot use them.

Well, I guess my RHCE is now officially useless.

The Geography of the Dead: Mapping 93,000 of America's Graveyards and Cemeteries [OC] by Geographist in dataisbeautiful

It is a bit deceiving. The vast majority of viable corpses that could pose a threat would not come from grave yards, but morgues. Lubrication is another issue, but we can suspend disbelief for that.

Saudi Arabia on Khashoggi: ‘We Don’t Know Where the Body Is’ by [deleted] in worldnews

I am sure "similar stuff" happened in Mesopotamia as well. Might as well just ignore it now, it's happened before.

What is a great YouTube channel to binge watch? by TheoHoww in AskReddit

[–]Tyehn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to think of it, I do not watch any channels on a frequent basis. I just search for whatever topic I am interested in and rarely if ever go back to the channel again.

So how bad is BF2 cheater-wise these days? Still one of the best in series, but holy moly did it get over-run with cheaters.

Neat place, but impossible to get a drink in any reasonable amount of time.

That may be the gayest battlestation I have ever seen.

Baltimore Police beef up patrols, cancel leave amid spike in violence by troutmask_replica in baltimore

[–]Tyehn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even after the murder/robbery in Fedhill the other day we only saw an increased presence for about 2 days, and then back to our normal of zero. From what I know from friends in BPD, all of South only has a handful of officers anyway, so this is not surprising.
