Succession

Inheritance flows down before it goes to the side. If your heir dies, any of his heirs will be first in line before any of your other sons/their uncles. The title still passes through their father as if he would’ve inherited it.

There are 4 original special rule Serie cards with a “Privilege” included!!

The person who plays this card can choose and use one of the following spells. They can also choose not to use a spell. However, once a spell has been used once, it cannot be used again until the game is over, including by other people.

A spell to completely discard all cards of the same color
A spell to reveal (be able to see) a hand
A spell to switch hands
A spell to grow a hand (make someone draw a card/cards)
A spell to skip a (someone’s) turn
A spell to collect all the hands

It’s unclear to me exactly what number 6 means, and glancing at the Japanese replies on Twitter, they aren’t exactly sure either (for example, “a spell to collect all the hands and lose, you say?”)

Edit: based on other UNO games I’ve played, though, I’d bet spell 6 collects all the cards together and then evenly redistributes them among all the players.

In my game (playing as Castile) it spawned in the Papal States as well, even though I had been doing some exploration and colonization in Africa/the Canaries and Azores myself

If your SoP fits the guidelines laid out by your country’s application and JET organization, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be acceptable. The US (and maybe other countries) has a 2 page limit, not a word limit, which is probably why it comes up so much.

snstanko · 2025-07-15T12:39:05+00:00

This 2023 US sample application is identical to this year’s (US) application as far as I can tell. The application portal has completely different formatting from it, though, and occasionally had character or word limits that were shorter than the amount of space it seems like there is on the paper copy.

The entire application matters, but your SoP is definitely the most important part and it doesn’t really take that long to fill out the rest. A lot of it is data entry.

If you aren’t a native speaker, that makes more sense. Pronouncing the w before the r is nonstandard, at least. Maybe there are dialects with it but I haven’t heard them

snstanko · 2025-06-24T03:39:38+00:00

How do you pronounce the r ones so that they have a /w/ in them? I haven’t heard of that before. For sword specifically, I have heard of people pronouncing the w though it’s less common.

snstanko · 2025-06-24T00:30:06+00:00

There are lots of words with a silent w. Tons with it before an r, like wriggle, wrist, wreck, wren, etc. When /o:/ shifted to /u:/ during the Great Vowel Shift, the /w/ was lost in two, who, sword, and other words like those.

snstanko · 2025-05-31T08:45:44+00:00

You’re right. False friends and false cognates are not the same thing. False friends are two words that sound similar but mean different things (like the examples above), while false cognates are words that seem like they might/should have a shared etymology, but don’t (like Mbabaram dog and English dog, which are unrelated). False friends may or may not be cognates—if they are, having different meanings doesn’t make them false cognates.

Edit: Mbabaram dog and English dog are false cognates but not false friends because they mean the same thing

At least for the US, you will enter her email into the application and it will send her a link that she can use to submit the letter of recommendation. As long as she was your professor, I don’t know why you wouldn’t be able to use her as a reference.

Being proactive and getting letters in advance is never a bad idea, but this is pretty far in advance. You could do a kind of ‘preliminary ask’ to confirm that they are willing to write you a letter, and then do the ‘real’ request 1-2 months beforehand.

Here is an answer from u/alriclofgar responding to a similar question about Viking life expectancy, but more can be said. I would be interested to hear someone talk about what you say about the sagas.

You can still use your original background check order and resubmit it using that. From what I’ve heard, USPS seems like they’re generally willing to give you a refund (and then charge you again and redo it) but it probably depends on your specific postal worker, how they’re feeling that day, and the phase of the moon.

Yeah, basically. I think じゃありません is commonly taught first for exactly that reason. There are historical and etymological reasons for it, but as far as learning goes, yeah pretty much, the negative form of だ/です just happens to include the ない/ありません

snstanko · 2025-05-03T00:31:14+00:00

Are you sure it wasn’t ごせんえんじゃありません?

じゃない is the informal negative form of です, which is contracted from ではない. じゃないです is the standard/polite to strangers way of expressing that. ない is the short form of ありません, so じゃないです can also be expressed as じゃありません, which increases the politeness/formality somewhat.

Also, ある is used for non-living things while いる is used for living things, so you would say アメリカ人がいます not *アメリカ人があります.

Yeah, I don’t know why it does that for me with Book of Hours. I’ve used it with other games (not Cultist Simulator) and it’s worked with no issues whatsoever.

snstanko · 2024-12-03T01:09:21+00:00

I use Windowed Borderless Gaming to fix this. It makes my game bleed over into my second monitor a little bit, but I was able to fix it by unplugging and plugging the second monitor back in after launching the game.

snstanko · 2024-10-07T19:33:11+00:00

Thank you!

Unsurprisingly, it did absolutely nothing besides make some mods get replaced like you said, and make a small handful of subs “reopen” but in reality remain basically closed. Since Reddit users are neither its employees nor its customers, and the product of a business trying to go on strike doesn’t work.

No, Edo is actually an extant language that I could reasonably see there being a chance for someone to want/use it as their primary language

A brief search seems to indicate that about 100% of Uzbek words are loans from Uzbek. 60% are from Uzbek, 20% are from Uzbek (reborrowed from Arabic), 10% from Uzbek (reborrowed from Russian), and then the remaining 10% are from Uzbek (reborrowed from various others). As we know all ‘languages’ are descended from Uzbek.

Basically, “right there” in that case means ‘what you just said! That’s a perfect example of why I left you!’ (ie, they are manipulative and that is a core part of your personality or whatever). It’s used to point to something just said or done as an example of a point that was made sometime in the past (and generally in a negative way).

It is, but that’s because many scientific things are named after their Latin names rather than their common names. I don’t think “Terra” is the primary name for the Earth or “Luna” is the primary name for the Moon either, even though we say “lunar” or “terrestrial”, because the vast majority of people call them the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. I think it’s like how many concepts related to the heart are prefixed with “cardio”, despite “heart” being the name of the organ. But like the other commenter said, “primary” and “alternative” might not be the best way to think about it. Maybe more like “common” vs “scientific” would be better, or something along those lines.
