We may have our opinions about the qualities of Reddit. But the Daily Mail? I feel dirty, just having a link to that dump on my screen.

People: “This is a xylophone.”

Musicians: “It’s metallic, hint hint.”

People: “Yes, it’s a metallic xylophone.”

Musicians:

It’s more positive than I expected. 😁

Step up military aid to Ukraine significantly. That is the only way to peace. Giving in to russian demands would only lead to a short cease fire, before they launch their next attack.

That so many Germans have bought into russian propaganda is a major hurdle.

Some of us are given free meals to eat in our paid meal breaks.

Nothing fancy though. Most times, the chef only makes a starter or a dessert. Rarely both.

Why would it be anything else?

It’s clearly too low a number to be °K. And since the only two valid units of measurement for temperature are Kelvin and Celsius, it must be °C.

It can be that. But it is also a medium for public forums.

I’ve never been to a Starbucks. But from the content I see about them online, they do seem like a typical American fakery outlet.

Venti, that’s twenty in Italian, is a cup of twenty American stupidity units of coffee. And their new CEO has a commute in excess of 1600km!

Even if I enjoyed coffee, I would find somewhere else to spend my money.

I’ve actually never found a name of an IKEA product to be fake. They can be obscure, odd, and some would normally be split. But never truly fake. Though, FEJKA does mean “to fake”. Which is an honest name for a series of fake plants.

Also known as the Scandinavian mile. It is very commonly used in Sweden and Norway to describe long distances.

Before the introduction of the metric system, there were many local miles. Some a bit shorter than 10km, some a bit longer.

It’s been a proto-democracy for so long, that it has become a pseudo-democracy.

There’s a good chance you are mistaken. It was not specified which type of mile they are referencing.

The only sensible mile to use would be the Scandinavian mile (10.000m). = 6000km range.

Another possibility is the nautical mile (1852m). = 1.111,2km range.

And there are plenty of other “miles” to choose from.

Steve does go on, and on, and on, and on… Quite challenging, if you have a tight deadline.

Fun fact: J’aime la France, but I’m neither French, nor British. I just try to emulate my spoken pronunciation in my writing.

If I were to write a programme where it would be typical to choose between units of measurement, which I’m not, the drop down menu would have a choice of “SI units” and “fuck no, you don’t get to choose!”
