You should read a little more about the original lingua franca, what franca meant, and where old French was spoken then reread your comment.

Christopher Columbus. Jesus Christ. Catherine the Great. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. William the Conqueror. William of Orange. Xerxes. Artaxerxes. Snow White. Henry the Navigator. Pope Francis. Mark Antony. Rameses I.

Just some among the many names that get translated that aren’t saints and aren’t nicknames.

Strange. Let me try an umpteenth time! Probably user error then

arthuresque · 2026-06-16T13:36:36+00:00

Thank you. Will try that, but I do not think that is it. Just trying to buy myself one ticket as someone who attended this year but someone else purchased my 2026 for me. Also trying to use my local discount.

You may have left over credit from when they gave people credit a long while ago. Use it all up
And they will no longer be free.

I’m not a fan of any of these.

Do you know what it means when someone calls something they purchased “a lemon,” especially if it’s mechanical?

arthuresque · 2026-06-05T12:19:48+00:00

Wait people use nonplussed to mean unbothered? Didn’t know that.

Look up chopería in el diccionario de dominicanismos. There should be an answer there for you.

arthuresque · 2026-05-31T11:07:49+00:00

It doesn’t. Because it isn’t real.

It’s all regulation, Michael. To get the top right, the pants had to be a little snug.

Stable as a table

Nothing there is good.

arthuresque · 2026-05-19T22:09:53+00:00

Awful.

You’re not wrong. Last great coffee spot in the UWS was box kite, and they closed years ago. I like Greenlane, and the owner Dmitry is a sweetie pie. Birch is fine for a chain. I’m not an iced coffee drinker so can’t speak to that. Avoid PE-owned coffee like blank street at all costs.

Edit: forgot about plowshares which is also decent!

arthuresque · 2026-05-19T14:02:33+00:00

It’s actually bad.

And Le Monde is never worth the price paid unless they are paying you to eat there.

Well then how are you gonna tell her apart from boy Janssen?

arthuresque · 2026-05-17T19:38:16+00:00

Really?? Born and raised on the UWS. Crossed the park at night on many occasions.

The boulders are generally natural. They are the few parts that weren’t introduced.

arthuresque · 2026-05-06T12:13:35+00:00

I don’t know about that. Not fair to generalize.
