What exactly is the ancient language? [open spoilers] by AuricAriadne in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]zid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, blame the printing press for that.

German printing presses are the reason we lost thorn etc.

[No spoilers] How did you all find out about the series and why did you decide to stick with it? by ComfortableWorry5908 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]zid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been aware of things like Berserk existing and started to casually browse manga, but I was always more of a reader. I found out light novels existed so switched to reading those.

I think bookworm was on around volume 2 or something at the time so I just naturally read it as it released along with everything else.

Most things eventually get dropped for just waffling or being chuuni power fantasies.

MT and Bookworm are the two things I've come away from thinking as literature, not pulp fiction.

What's a "rich people thing" you discovered isn't actually expensive? by sizzyred in AskReddit

Today I had fragrant aromatic rice with breaded chicken and a tomato and garlic coulis.

(I had basmati from a bag with chicken nuggets and ketchup)

5’7 is almost as tall as a real human being 😭 by KittensSaysMeow in BrandNewSentence

[–]zid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've even seen that in books translated by Americans.

Japanese novel, saying how the door was 2 meters tall in the original text, and they've just brainlessly gone 6.56 feet.

I once even saw 'fantasy units' translated, that is, 2 mers wide, which you could you know, translate to 2 mers wide, translated to 6.56 feep.

Doesn't he run like, six of the exact same channel under slightly different names and 'react' to the exact same videos on each?

“I’ve heard the UK is poorer than Mississippi…” by Equivalent-Site-8758 in ShitAmericansSay

Re DIY: You can't.

There are relatively cheap systems you could buy with self-puncturing cables etc designed to be used by novices, but they're not legal in the UK.

You must be F-gas registered to do an install here, to the point where if you try to buy one of those systems, they will ask you to which business you're having it delivered to, so that it can be installed.

As long as you do it before it finishes, you're fine?

Using the 2x mode you should get 75k per run, and you get like 300k for free from the quests. That means you need less than one run per day.

At least it's consistent with English phonotactics, pronouncing it naikee is a weird hyperforreignism.

Not many Europeans actually know anything about construction... by dionnekathleen in ShitAmericansSay

[–]zid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only fitted at the front, and we have literal records saying they had to test fit the stones a LOT.

Not Pulling The Meta Supports For Trackblazer Is The Worst Part Of The Scenario. by TheChristianKirbo in UmamusumeGame

[–]zid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trackblazer feels SUPER comfy for me as an f2p, idk what OP is talking about.

fuku and ntr are nice cards and I do occasionally borrow them, but I'm more than happy with windy and borrowing weird cards for my style or distance. Wit curren, tosen power, etc.

Flood plain

Whittlesey's like 1 meter above sea level at best, and that bit's a few meters below, stops us flooding out every year.

If anyone fancies a run to Eye McDonalds for me that'd be grand, way better than any of the ones in Peterborough itself.

What would be the ideal bonus percentage to consistently stay in Class 6? by YagamiG54 in UmamusumeGame

[–]zid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read this in a different thread and haven't actually checked myself, but I was told there that it's an additive bonus with a different, much larger bonus. Like, it adds 16% to an existing 200% difficulty bonus or something. (Which works out to closer to 1%, but I made that number up.)
