I’m talking long before digital channels existed. (In the US anyway)

Even before the 2000s they started showing a blue screen instead of static.

That wasn’t just a digital or flat panel thing.

But of course old sets were around for a long time.

Because if they did consider themself Latino, it might sound more like a personal complaint instead of just a general question.

One of my friends in middle school had the last name Morris, so I think of it as a last name.

Absolutely.

Genetically I’m around 50% descended from people of a culture that I simply wasn’t raised in, which is associated with a religion I never practiced (as opposed to the different religion I left)

Based on looks I could easily identify as that culture and strangers wouldn’t question it. They also don’t question my lack of doing so.

Hamilton is a last name. I won’t doubt that there are some people who have it first (not checking), but they probably have two last names.

My immediate reaction before opening the link: “No.”

Yet I somehow got 96.6% twice.

Visually, I certainly wouldn’t call them 3.4% away from perfect. I’m guessing there’s some allowance for imperfection even at 100%.

Look up “bimonthly pay”.

Fortnightly is fine, so is biennial.

All of the other bi-timeperiod words are worthless because they mean both twice each time and every two times.

Biweekly and bimonthly each also meaning their respective reciprocals.

(Every two periods, or twice a period.)

If a technical term such as a frequency specifier has multiple incompatible meanings then it has no value and needs to stop being used entirely. Or one of the meanings chosen as correct and the others rejected forcefully (good luck with that)

Another thing that’s barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.

It just wasn’t the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.

The implied part is ‘rich’. It isn’t a guarantee.

In the US, “estates” sounds vaguely wealthy. For example, a fancy garage sale is an Estate Sale (which kinda implies a rich person died and this is their estate being liquidated.)

Why’d you have to call me out like that with those first three?

(Seriously, not keeping stuff is so difficult. It’s a strain on my marriage and I wish I could just flip a switch and not feel that instinct)

So, what was the solution?

Helen GA is on my list. It’s modeled after a Bavarian alpine village.

Also: Leavenworth, Washington

If so it’s spread north as far as Washington State, and likely others. And yeah, makes no sense at all. Bus lanes sure, but not carpool lanes on major arterials.

If you want one that isn’t actually from that time, just feels like it, I’d say https://tildes.net/

Just to add to your point, as far as I can find, the entire European Union is only about 4.3 million sq. km.

If Spain were added as a 51st US State it would be the 3rd largest, between Texas and California. Same with France (largest in the EU), but it’s much closer to overtaking 2nd place. I had no idea those countries were so large.

Still, we have 50 of those country sized areas.

Seconding Annihilation. Was going to suggest it if nobody else did.
