this is my favorite explanation, by Leslie mann, of the role of St. Peter:

wow, that is a great video.

I hear the word expat all over the world, I don’t think it’s regional.

“immigrant” gives the impression that you are traveling to get to someplace, while expat implies that you are traveling to get away from someplace, as I’ve heard it used.

i only date propublicans.

get a rice cooker.

One button. super safe. easy to clean.

there are recipe books about how to use a rice cooker to cook all sorts of stuff (rice, curries, hot pot, soups, pasta, steamed anything)

with that same one button.

after you get comfortable heating up food so that you can eat it, you can try a pan or a Crock-Pot, whatever strikes your fancy.

Echoes of the past!

incredibly fun.

I’ve only been playing a few hours, but I am having a blast.

“…over your head”

Don’t get too worked up, folks can’t help but understand you.

the salient characteristic of your comments is their simple-mindedness.

I don’t hang out with a lot of 13-year-olds.

I guess it’s good you’re learning something from them.

is your relationship with them appropriate?

I’m curious, since the federation seems a lot more geographically decentralized then reddit did.

is there any information on the User-Base by nationality?

some of us were wondering on another thread since there are so many communities in different languages, but I can’t find any way to tell the ballpark nationality percentages of the users here.

that’s great to hear, congratulations!

cool. i always like digging through the huge pillow cushion area they have at thrift stores.

I have a lot of pillows.

I liked using my standing desk in my home office. so much that I eventually got one for the office.

I got a lot of compliments and interested short conversations, but notably only one other person transitioned to a standing desk.

I’ll say that some chairs are more comfortable than others, but a standing desk is finally what felt the most comfortable for me.

yeah, I’ve been listening to drum and bass since posting this, and I definitely hear the similarities, especially with the classic drum and bass another comment or posted.

yeah, I definitely got heavy aphex twin Vibes also.

I didn’t know he collaborated with reznor, but of course he did.

very cool, thanks for the information.

yeah, sounds as likely.

do you mean it doesn’t correct your misspellings as you type or it doesn’t correct your search terms?

mine corrects my search terms if i type colude instead of collude or something,

" is am a pronoun" gives me “am is not a pronoun”.

there are a few results under that mentioning that “am” should be used with pronouns, heavily implying that it isn’t a pronoun itself.

that’s a tricky search because “am” is such a small and common word, I get more direct results (after the direct answer from duckassist) If I put quotes around am, like

is “am” a pronoun?

sorry it didn’t work out for you, are you trying other browsers or reverting to the googs?

sure, i get it.

he did come up with that half explanation 250 what years ago, so I’ll give him a pass.

kind of a bummer that a half explanation is his most famous 'discovery" even though he did so much

I’m partial to the Newtonian explanation myself, I was explaining my interest the first time I saw an illustration of the Bernoulli principle.

in fact, I just wrote about The Newtonian explanation a few minutes ago:

"the Newtonian makes more practical end complete sense to me sense to me as an explanation for a lift.

maybe the confusion comes from calling the motion of pushing air down “lift”

push-off.

hm. what the heck is an appropriate antonym for lift…

spring-hold.

oh, buoyancy?

maybe we should switch our talk from lift to buoyancy.

rather than generating lift, velocity through the air generates aerodynamic buoyancy due to the increase in downward pressure, or rather the compressed air beneath the airfoil."
