Pronounce and pronunciation seem like they should have the same root, but one of them has an extra ‘o’ for some perfectly logical reason. I know the difference and don’t consistently misspell it, but if I edit a sentence to switch from one to the other without noticing that it’s a danger inflection …

Also maintain vs. maintenance for the same reason.

The day I learned this was the last day I made fun of poor people doing various stereotypical things that are considered “bad financial habits” in middle class upbringings. For example, buying lottery tickets with your welfare money is NOT evidence of poor people being bad at math. It’s a rational financial decision in their existing regulatory environment. A lottery winner can fly right over the welfare cliff, while the people saving up for a car repair get punished and pulled back into poverty. Maybe they’ll enjoy a few years of luxury until they squander it all because they never learned that staying off the dole requires different strategies than getting off the dole.

A shining wit?

I’ve blocked a few repost bots, but I think only one human-controlled account.

One of the first big kids’ books I read on my own. I should re-read the series as an adult since I might have been almost too young for it the first time.

Even in Florida, it ought to be possible to hire an adult supervisor who understands pre-algebra – and any other topic that might reasonably appear on a GED assessment.

I’ve heard it speculated that certain religious dietary restriction such as Kosher and Halal prohibit many of the foods that would have been most difficult to render safe with the available technology. Without anything resembling modern germ theory, they couldn’t articulate any scientific justification, so it was just “God says these lobsters aren’t food.” And yet, the people who believed that probably got less food poisoning than the people who didn’t.

Your terms are acceptable.

Live to be 80 and retire to an assisted living apartment. The slight differences in life expectancy really show up at the back end. My grandpa spent a year as the only man on his floor and got all the geriatric pussy he could handle. Plus, since he was nearly blind from macular degeneration, he imagined them all as beautiful.

Take care of your health, and good luck with the ladies!

You were right, even if it was for the wrong reason.

The Zillow listing said acres where they presumably meant square feet which are a lot smaller. This is a city lot, probably less than even a single acre.

Elliptical orbit is what you get when all gravity vectors point to a single source such as Earth’s center of mass. If you instead make the “flat Earth” assumption that all gravity vectors are parallel, then you get a parabola. Since most of us aren’t throwing things very far on a planetary scale, the parabolic approximation is frequently considered “good enough”.

1. I’m old enough to legally view any form of pornography that’s legal to create.

2. There is no legitimate government interest in monitoring my pornographic habits.

For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there’s a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.

Learn to shift based off the sound of the engine, don’t stare at the tachometer.

Unless you’re like my grandpa who had his engine replaced at 20k miles because he revved the engine until he could hear it running before putting it into gear. Between quieter modern engines, and his hearing not being as good as it once was, that meant he redlined it in the driveway every time he started the engine.

He only got a couple more years out of the new engine, but that was because he couldn’t turn his head very well either so he didn’t bother looking before changing lanes.

I, personally, have no issue with being gay, agender, or affectionately or sarcastically referring to oneself as a faggot, but none of that is relevant to the particular usage that got you in trouble.

You weren’t talking about yourself. You tried to bait another party into using hate speech to escalate a dispute. You wanted to weaponize a slur to play the victim and get someone else in trouble. And you did so in a public place where your behavior caused offense to bystanders.

Fraternal service association, like Elks Club or Rotary Club? They may have traditions, but not a theology. They’re nominally harmless, if not beneficial, both to members and to the community at large. They’re easy to leave, just stop paying your dues.

Uff-da

If you fry them with enough butter and garlic, even bugs taste like food.

I haven’t seen the bombers name, picture, or manifesto. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this was a terrorist and a bad person. I promise not to change my mind about this tomorrow when more details about the bombers background are known.
