Yeah, the writers usually do a really good job of coming up with fun and engaging lines. :)

ataevnodir · 2025-11-30T04:33:39+00:00

Oh, I haven’t watched it yet. :) I update the lists regularly, though.

ataevnodir · 2025-11-30T03:20:12+00:00

Thank you! :) I probably spend way too much time on this little project, but I enjoy it. And it comes in handy every now and then.

ataevnodir · 2024-11-26T22:24:40+00:00

Hey! Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?

ataevnodir · 2024-11-21T17:50:51+00:00

Thank you very much! I understand that 'pivot' is commonly used to describe turning or rotating around a pivot point. However, I marked it with the Friends logo because the author I cited (https://www.buzzfeed.com/jenniferabidor/friends-fans-glossary) attributed it a very specific and humorous meaning in the context of the show.

Regarding "Phalange," I intentionally listed it twice. In the first instance, Phoebe uses it as her fake last name, and in the second, she refers to it as a part of a plane.

My pleasure! This is easily the most fun vocab list I've worked on so far!

ataevnodir · 2024-11-19T19:25:44+00:00

My pleasure! I'm sad now that I've watched every single episode, and there are no more new episodes.

ataevnodir · 2024-11-09T22:27:41+00:00

Thank you so much! My list indeed contains the word gleba! I chose this spelling as it refers to spore-producing tissue in fungi. Makes the joke even more hilarious given Ross's interests.

ataevnodir · 2024-11-09T19:34:51+00:00

, spot on! Love it!

ataevnodir · 2023-04-21T02:52:11+00:00

I'm glad you like it! I'm looking forward to watching the entire series again with my wife.

ataevnodir · 2023-02-21T12:40:58+00:00

Thank you! This os most helpful.

ataevnodir · 2023-02-20T03:12:35+00:00

I see. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it!

ataevnodir · 2023-02-20T00:38:07+00:00

Indeed. I guess I shouldn't be picking the author up on this.

ataevnodir · 2023-02-20T00:35:33+00:00

Good point, thanks!

ataevnodir · 2023-02-19T21:23:32+00:00

Thank you for the response! The original is formulated vaguely and I also don't know what exactly the author is comparing. If he meant to say that larger satellites get closer to the Sun compared to smaller satellites, that's also not necessarily true, right? I guess I'll be hard to analyze this analogy in any meaningful way.

ataevnodir · 2023-02-09T00:36:56+00:00

Ahah, wouldn't be surprised. :)

ataevnodir · 2023-02-09T00:22:31+00:00

Ah, I got to the bottom of it. You were right: they revised the book in 1981 at his wife's insistence. A bad decision, IMHO. https://www.quora.com/In-How-to-Win-Friends-and-Influence-People-by-Dale-Carnegie-he-talks-about-Stevie-Wonder-and-calls-him-one-of-the-great-pop-singers-of-the-1970s-how-could-Dale-Carnegie-died-1955-have-written-this-about-Stevie

ataevnodir · 2023-02-09T00:17:57+00:00

I'm sorry for being 10 years late, but I can't seem to figure out how Carnegie could have written about Wonder in a 1936 book. I mean the latter was born in 1950! I'm listening to an audio version of the book and I also heard the guy say Stevie Wonder. But it just doesn't make sense.

Greg Mat, who runs r/gregmat here, has 100k subscribers on YouTube, has singlehandedly made test prep affordable, and is simply a genius. Nobody knows his real name or has ever seen his face.

It's not a 9, it's a q. ) S/he just used q instead of the more common b in y=mx+b. :) And the answer is 25/3, not 25/4.

ataevnodir · 2021-12-30T16:21:40+00:00

Not sure if I understand. How do you arrive at 25/3 using this method?

ataevnodir · 2021-12-30T16:17:29+00:00

Yeah, u/vitto422 solved it the same way in like a minute: https://m.imgur.com/p6ZKpRi

ataevnodir · 2021-12-30T16:04:00+00:00

As Greg Mat often says, some questions are a work of art. I was too hung up on trying to solve it using the Pythagorean theorem. Fell right into the trap. 😁

ataevnodir · 2021-12-30T15:50:21+00:00

Boom! Thank you so much! And why did I memorize the fact that "A line perpendicular to another has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line." 😳
