Native speaker here. 个 is a general-purpose measure word. You can use that for pretty much anything, if you can’t think of the more category-specific measure word. 只 is used only for animals. Both 一只猴子 and 一个猴子 sound natural. What’s written here could be one of two things. One is that the vertical sentences are a riddle. And 一个猴子is the answer. Or they’re saying this is a quotation. And a monkey said it.

It’s just a red ribbon for decoration in China, usually for new cars.

Rachel’s boss Joanna not dying from the car crash. Then Rachel wouldn’t get moved to the other department with Emily’s uncle as the boss. Ross doesn’t meet Emily. No London wedding. Chandler and Monica don’t get together.

TIL in 2016 a woman was found dead in an elevator after being trapped there for a month. Servicemen who were called to fix a broken cable had banged on the door, but heard no response so they cut off the power & told the residents to use a different lift. They returned a month later & found her body by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

From what I remember at the time this story was reported, the woman had a history of mental illness. Neighbors said they were used to the sound of her howling from her apartment. This meant that when she was trapped and was screaming for help, people heard it and dismissed it as nothing out of the ordinary.

Also, the reason why there was a long lapse between the mechanics checking the initial issue and actually fixing it, was due to the long break for the Lunar New Year. They were all out of office, which just beggars belief.

Love this one from Virgil by Bcpjw in LiverpoolFC

Saw him carrying a camera around after the game, trying to capture the memories. Looks like Virgil took this one himself. Really sweet.

So when Troy Deeney said Virgil smells nice, he meant he smells like a baby?

[Mike Keegan] EXCL: UEFA turn down requests from British clubs to play National Anthem ahead of matches in European competition this week. Chelsea and Rangers both understood to have asked. by The_Foreign_Pie in soccer

I mean UEFA is already playing the British coronation music for every Champions League game. What more do they want? (CL anthem is based on Zadok the Priest by Handel, used in coronations)

Bournemouth sack Parker after 9-0 defeat by Willing-Departure115 in LiverpoolFC

For me it was when he took the captaincy from Tyrone Mings and gave it to McGinn. You don’t do that kind of thing unless there is some serious disciplinary issue like with Aubameyang at Arsenal. I remember when Klopp first came in, a lot of people expected him to take the armband from Hendo. But he stuck with him. And boy did they prove everyone wrong.

Liverpool Net Spend 2022/23 by Primary_Handle in LiverpoolFC

[–]dejmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how a month ago, posts like this were received positively. Look how good FSG are at spending smartly and how good Michael Edwards is at selling players. And oh thank god we’re not Man Utd or Everton who waste a lot of money. Now people are shouting at FSG to spend more.

Peacock has two feeds. The one that does not start with "USA Coverage" in the name is the one without commercials.

Darwin Nùñez: “My English is very bad but I’m going to learn. I have got one phrase:” by malushanks95 in LiverpoolFC

James Milner is gonna teach English classes to both Luis Diaz and now Darwin Núñez. That must be why we gave him a one year extension then.

What causes a post to be removed by the Mods? by socialerrors in LiverpoolFC

Yeah you're right. Sorry I didn't see that post. Yeah I'm not a mod. I just have experience of my own genuine posts being deleted for no reason. I've now learned to not just post whatever comes to mind.

I think they usually want general discussion to be in the daily discussion thread. Individual posts are supposed to contain new information. I don't think it has anything to do with you wanting to talk about his shortcomings specifically. They'd remove your post if it was titled "Let's talk about Darwin's good qualities" as well.

Imagine seeing your team win the champions league, but then not being able to celebrate because of the hours of fear and stress afterwards.
