Two. The last part of centaur is tau-or.

Similarly, “dinosaur” is pronounced dino-sour, and not as dino-saw.

Hard C and noticeable U: Ken-tower.

Maybe n Roblox. I haven’t bothered trying the games, but I know Adopt Me started as something like that.

It has to be given, otherwise there would be infinitely many solutions.

You would need some other information to link the line segment X to the rest of the figure.

Do you make engines?

It’s always going to be more difficult challenging the “winning” strategy.

Democrats seem to be more open to change and internal democracy.

Whatever shed of ideology is left in either party is also pointed in different directions. Roughly described, the ideologies are (supposed to be) that left wing is taking ideas from the masses and sending them upwards through democratic elections, while right wing only accepts top down decision making. Seeing the many “Trump regret” clips, it’s pretty clear that his policies did not originate from his voter base.

Another case of point is when politicians flip flop and change party. Democrats allow right wing politicians to infiltrate their party dragging them to the right, whereas you don’t see someone like Bernie Sanders joining GOP to drag them towards social democracy.

… that is why you need to join and elect other politicians.

I’m not American but I will promise to support you if it comes to that.

The workers unionisation in my country against land owners in the 1800s would not have succeeded without international support. I’d gladly chip in for anyone attempting to do the same.

So…if that’s your only option… when are you going to start a revolution?

I’ve seen a lot of similar comments lately. People wanting to start 3rd parties etc, because the Democrats suck so bad.

Yes, it’s true. They suck, but if you’re going to beat the Republicans, you’ll need to look at what Trump did. He didn’t start a 3rd party. No, he took the existing party and changed it into whatever the fuck it is now.

You need to change the democratic party from within too, because 3rd parties will always lose because of the first past the post. 3rd parties also have a tendency to branch out, because quite frankly, not being Democrat or Republican isn’t enough of a politic in itself, and you guys don’t get along well on anything else. The Republicans had this issue for a long time until Trump came along providing them with something that united their voters more than the previous politic of simply being not Democrats.

The democratic party already has a framework for running politics and they actually have some kind of democracy within that allows people to change it. Yeah, it will require a lot of work to get enough people engaged in politics to make the change, but it is absolutely much less than what is required to start a successful 3rd party.

Easy. We often use idioms for comparisons.

One old way would be: “Trump and Hitler are both 2/3 yards from one piece” which means “They’re cut from the same (bad) fabric”.

Fabric was cut in an old measurement"alen" which was 2 foot or 2/3 yards, so simply stating the length would be understood as fabric, similar to how everyone knows that a 2x4s is a piece of wood and such.

English also has words like dozen (12) and score (20).

I guess it came from the physical counting in trading. Imagine counting 96 small items. It makes sense to group them into scores and then count the scores. 1 score 2 score 3 score 4 score and a half score. Then there are few remaining that didn’t fit it neatly in scores and then counted last. That’s a total of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 plus the 4 and a half scores.

First one was technically correct. The red ball balances on top of the “white ball with a blue ball on top”.

So, do you think there’s a realistic chance of a violent leftist rebellion now?

There are 400 million guns in America.

Exactly 0 of them has been used to take down the fascist regime.

If you want to compare guns to drugs, then consider that legal drugs prescribed by a doctor are generally safe and that the prescription in small quantities hinders people from doing stupid stuff with it. You can’t compare drug abuse of illegal drugs to legal firearms. That is better compared to illegal firearms. Of course people do crazy stuff with illegal drugs and guns with or without education.

Maybe Americans need to have a prescription for ammo.

Iinstead of banning guns, which is impossible with all the existing guns, how about limiting ammo, so that people can still get a few rounds if they need to use their legal firearms to shoot rattle snakes or whatever the fuck they realistically need legal guns for.

It’s really easy to get a drivers license, yet there are still idiots on the road killing each other and themselves by driving cars. The ones that think they’re good drivers are usually the worst.

Educating people on gun safety and giving them reason to believe that they’re good with guns… Yes, it’s a recipe for having a lot of idiots with guns.

The only gun safety that actually works is not having guns. Guns are designed to kill and that’s what they’re gonna do when used.

That’s basically the answer to the opposite question: what is something that someone thinks isn’t obsolete, but really is?

The real issue is that the drain trap is much smaller for a shower than that in a toilet even if the pipes are the same diameter.

The waffle grid is for the exact purpose of stopping things that are too large for the drain trap, so theoretically it should be fine. If it passes the grid, it can pass the trap. However, the drain trap doesn’t clean out entirely every time. If you stomp shit into the drain, then the trap will contain shit until it is cleaned out. It will also smell like shit, which defeats the purpose of having the trap in the first place.

Drain traps are disgusting enough without the addition of shit. Even in best case, it will accumulate hair mixed with shampoo and conditioner. I doubt that mixing it with shit will generate any kind of water savings, because it will require a thorough cleaning more often. Also, the main pipes actually needs a lot of water to drain. If by saving on water you eventually have to call a plumber to blast out the fat-bergs it will require a whole lot of more water.
