The Romans didn’t use base 12. Roman numerals aren’t a positional system.

I’ve never heard of crossing your fingers like that to indicate 10.

Mendel’s experiments are a lot easier to recreate on your own than Darwin’s observations at Galapagos. And that’s what good science is all about.

You can do it yourself and see it firsthand. You can breed plants and artificially select the traits you want to see in future generations.

I think you’ll find that most countries worth emigrating to are expensive and hard to get into, much moreso than the US.

Stay and fight for it. Because what happens if and when shit goes south wherever your new home is? Just keep running?

You will never ever get in trouble for simply possessing GBC ROMs

You left out some important context, that she followed that up with “you people are next.”

A group of people related by blood and/or marriage.

More broadly, any group of related things depending on the context.

It could be anything, as long as your recipient has the cipher for your code. If they don’t, then you better hope they’re really good decrypters.

If I had this land, I’d grow food.

I do agree, the whole “oops sowwy” with a sad Labrador vibe is a little irritating. But I guess they do it cause it’s a harmless and layman-friendly response.

What I’m saying is that when you see one of these messages you should interpret it as “something is wrong on our end, nothing you can or need to do on your end, please hang tight as we’re aware of the issue and working on it”. They don’t give you more info than that because that average person is probably not a dev and doesn’t have any need for more details than that.

You’re assuming they aren’t already aware of the issue.

Because 99% of the time these errors are caused by something on their end that the user is unable to fix, even on the off chance that they understand the problem in the first place. So there isn’t any need to give you more information than “something went wrong, please wait a minute and/or try again”.

Yeah, language can be very fun. That’s why I’m saying those terms are fun novelties, like a Lemmy username, not really useful in any practical sense.

Those aren’t the ones I’m talking about. Flocks, herds, and schools apply to many different kinds of birds, land animals, and fish, respectively. Why would anyone need to use the word “murder” instead of “flock” for crows? A cackle of hyenas? A conspiracy of lemurs? Let’s be serious here. What’s wrong with saying a group of lemurs?

Does anybody actually use these goofy terms for groups of animals? Seems like they mostly exist as a novelty.
