Malgas

I’ve only ever heard that term used in Cajun cooking, where it refers to onion, celery, and bell pepper.

The version with carrot is mirepoix.

Bishlamek gurpgorp!

Seriously, it’s like nobody in this thread even read the seminal paper, “Scrimbling Considered Harmful”.

I haven’t.

The Matchless Kungfu certainly looks like Wuxia Kenshi, but I haven’t actually gotten around to trying it.

I had fun with it. Can be a bit slow and grindy, as forming a build involves finding the right (randomly generated, periodically refreshed) techniques and studying them. And there’s a big power jump in each area so this process has to be repeated regularly.

I initially got into it when looking for something like Wandering Sword, but as a M&B- or Kenshi-style open world, which it’s not exactly that.

Tale of Immortal […] doesn’t even work if you don’t have your system set to Chinese

I’ve played it (in English, on a US-English Windows install) and I don’t remember having to do anything like that.

It’s funny, I frequently find myself configuring native Linux games I legitimately own to instead run the windows version through Proton.

…I’m sorry that that’s pretty much the exact opposite of an answer to your question.

The pints thing actually has the same cause as I was talking about above: The British standardized around the Elizabethan ale gallon, while America used the Queen Anne wine gallon.

The long (British) and short (American) ton are both 20 hundredweights. The American hundredweight is exactly 100 pounds, while the British hundredweight is 112. You tell me which of those is more reasonable.

That said, both units did, in fact, come from Britain. The old Imperial system often used the same name for different units depending on what was being measured and for what purpose. Both countries passed laws to simplify and consolidate these measurements in the early 19th century, but in many cases chose different versions to standardize on.

I felt similarly after Fallout 3. I think that universe just isn’t for me

Out of curiosity, have you played any of the non-Bethesda Fallout games? Because the Fallout-nees of FO3 (haven’t played 76 or 4) is a paper-thin veneer composed of random elements from previous games jumbled together in ways that make no sense.

Relevant xkcd.

The war on Christmas must not end until Christmas ends its illegal occupation of November.

I don’t want to diminish slavery in any way

Speaking of the ambiguity of language…

being unable to move the titlebar further up

I know KDE has an option to disable this behavior, though I forget what it’s called off the top of my head. Then it’s just a matter of grabbing the window with super+drag to put it wherever you want.

My mom didn’t hyphenate, but she does include her maiden name when writing her full name, after her middle name. It never even occurred to me that that’s uncommon.

Or, in either field (formal language theory bridges both) it can mean any string of symbols, letters, or tokens.

The point is there’s no statistical difference between rolling one die an infinite number of times, rolling an infinite number of dice once, and rolling an infinite number of dice an infinite number of times.

When Pump Up the Jam was first broadcast, audiences feared it was real, and that jam would be pumped into their homes.

The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s ass.

Hence error 418.
