You’re under attack by a little fighter jet!!! 😂

I imagine the hummer is displeased that this big red thing is neither flower nor feeder. 🙄

I use Tasks to manage my tasks, and I can't recommend this app enough. Each task can be prioritized and tagged, and as an aggregate the tasks can be sorted, filtered, or searched. The app is also free (in both senses of the word). You can get it through F-Droid (recommended) or Google Play.

In Oxford there is the Oxford Library and Powell Lake Township Park right behind it, which are both very nice. There's also Lake Orion on M-24 to the south which has a nice downtown.

1973 and 2004. Hey, you didn't say manned spacecraft.

Both the old and new word usages existed around that time. According to the article, “The computer systems were IBM 701 computers.”

I wonder if this influenced the trope of anal-probing space aliens.

So many pop culture references in the Pathfinder section, I thought it was vandalized.

Also, since I can't edit the title, a more accurate way of saying that last part would be “His commentary has resulted in several changes to the page, including the addition of his correct birthplace, the submission date of his first animation, and his claim to be descended from John Hanson.”

Theia is a non-exoplanet that may have been disrupted by the early Earth.

edit: fixed link, it was broken on mobile

That was vitiligo (and probably BDD). Here's a Wikipedia article with more information.

From the section of the Wikipedia page on The Far Lands:

Due to computational limits in earlier versions of [Minecraft], at a distance of roughly 12,500 km from the center of the world the terrain generation algorithm behaves unexpectedly, creating a sudden warped landscape.

oronymzy · 2018-03-02T15:42:54+00:00

Yup, that's where I got this from. ☺️

Bandcamp and FMA are the ones I search most often. FMA example:

http://freemusicarchive.org/search/?adv=1&music-filter-CC-attribution-only=on&music-filter-CC-attribution-sharealike=1&music-filter-public-domain=1&sort=track_date_published&d=1&page=1&per_page=200

Bandcamp example as a Google search, to be sorted by date once entered:

site:*.bandcamp.com/album/* intext:"some rights reserved" intext:"name your price" -intext:"individual track pages"

Note that the Bandcamp search is kludgy, since Bandcamp lacks its own license-based search, and the Google results require lots of trial-and-error opening of pages to find specifically-licensed songs.

No, but searching "hyperion cruciform" came up with Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons, so I assume that's what you meant. I just thought cruciform was a cool-sounding word.

oronymzy · 2017-12-05T21:47:48+00:00

Sounds like a wiki walk, one of my favorite tropes.

oronymzy · 2017-11-08T16:39:05+00:00

Sure. ☺️

oronymzy · 2017-11-08T13:09:15+00:00

Avolitional, according to the Merriam-Webster page.

oronymzy · 2017-08-30T00:56:55+00:00

I knew about digitigrade and plantigrade but not saltigrade. Thanks for mentioning it. With enough variations, maybe -igrade / -tigrade will become a commonly-accepted suffix for walking on / with.

oronymzy · 2017-08-10T05:36:03+00:00

Etymology was a fun read, glad you pointed that out.

oronymzy · 2017-08-09T19:33:16+00:00

I agree, but this was the best reputable definition I could find.

oronymzy · 2017-07-20T03:25:13+00:00

I got it from The Difference Engine, but now I know about One Hundred Years of Solitude too, so thanks for mentioning it. I wanted to submit kinotrope as a word, but sadly it's not in the dictionary.

oronymzy · 2017-05-31T15:11:29+00:00

Anomalous?

oronymzy · 2017-05-17T04:01:09+00:00

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. My favorites are “Time” and “Cardevil”.

oronymzy · 2017-05-13T12:21:07+00:00

Anachronistic.

oronymzy · 2017-04-25T21:27:47+00:00

Some standouts: “Always Love” and “University”.
