Just like the first smash when you’re playing pool, quite a few balls are going down the table while a couple might go off up the table. There’s a net movement down the table. It gets more complicated because we’re talking balls of different masses and a bit of relativistic speeds, but analysis will reveal what those masses are and hence the net direction of the momentum and thus the direction of the velocity.

Mind isn’t self. Those thoughts eh…

V for Vendetta.

Sentient dot 😂

Where TF did my entire family go??

In just a few words to summarise a lot of these comments:

What user spends the most moneh?

Oh! Now I understand what that other commenter was talking about by ‘matching of letters to the numbers’ or something along those lines.

We getcha but that’s romaji which is a transliteration of the syllable sounds.

How about strokes? 一，二，三 😆

Didn’t they go secular because freemasonry is essentially gnostic and sees all religion as tending towards the divine realisation?

I feel like the most important thing to take away here is to not feel pushed to have a social life. One city I lived in I had one friend I really considered a friend and the rest were mostly in the background (though fun to hang out with time to time).

For me a social life is enough if I find a single person who is capable of listening and rolls with bouncing ideas off each other.

May or may not apply to OP but zero social life sounds like they’re an introvert.

This is the way.

Making at least $100,000 after tax a year in a country with low living costs? You can bet on it.

Yep, inspect is normally £20-£40, they give you the cost of repair and it stays at that cost. If they discover yet another problem, they don’t force you to undergo the repair.

It is permitted for non-certified (MOT) cars to go to and from a mechanic so you can space out repairs over a month or more if needed.

Source: my friend bought a decades old Volvo so he tends to have LOTS of trouble keeping it in a reasonable state on his general wages.

Even as a (tech literate) teacher who wants to employ Linux, the lack of compatibility (using wine) with a lot of enterprise type programs and the general hodgepodge that Libre Office is, and the memory leak mess that Only Office is, I just can’t stick to Linux for long. I end up using tiny10 to use a reliable unbloated windows that can run my office 2016 and enterprise apps. Microsoft is just so entrenched and heavily serviced by thousands of people that it’s a slow climb for Linux distros to get anywhere.

The idea of elderly people using windows only programs on Linux using the compatibility layer just seems liable to multiple potential failures.

That level editor was awesome in AoE, especially when errr…the nukeboys came out.

Yeah they actually ripped down the previous London Bridge for some reason and replaced it with this monstrosity which is more associated with the terrorist attack. Tower Bridge just looks better.

Building a world was quite novel back then.

I mean, there’s barely any difference between the heating of the earth’s mantle, i.e. geothermal, to the heating by fission. We are just kind of doing the process manually on the surface of the planet where a tiny mistake will cover it in contamination.

To be fair smoking a cigarette will put more radioactive contamination in you than these plates.
