The sliding scales of inviting all the people you want to have there and avoiding people getting pissed off if they don't get an invite (or similar political reasons) are only limited by the financial means available.

100 is a relatively easy target to reach for most people. Family and friends and their +1's and children gets you there pretty quick.

If Ockham's Razor points to the simplest possible reason of anything to be the most likely one, Drumpf's Razor, which I have just made up, holds that the dumbest possible explanation is probably true when the incumbent US head of state is involved. These are posts by an undereducated narcissist; the choice of targets is at best accidental.

The prompt probably included "destroy Iran" and whichever model they used was like gotcha, destroying Ireland it is.

It's all based on navies here on Earth. They chose the language to make certain ships this-or-that class. There are no definitive rules so far as I'm aware. A certain class of submarines would be designated something class because they shared the same weapons or the same propulsion system. So when sci-fi writers picked up this ball they played fast and loose with already fast and loose rules.

You may need to clarify what you mean by canon in this context exactly. If this Walker class appeared in a live action TV show I would say it's canon. If it's in a novel or an animated show I'd say it's not or not necessarily. Trekkies can spend weeks debating this sort of thing.

The naming convention is vague.

LD's California class is a dig at what the writers perceive as shit or boringly average California cities nobody knows if you don't live there.

DS9 had some consistency with naming all runabouts after earth rivers.

All other names are up to the writers. So you get a Crazy Horse next to a Shenzhou, a Hood next to a Defiant.

Canon probably runs along the Memory Alpha/Beta divide.

I don't have a GitHub account. You're gonna have you sign up for one yourself. The links to their accounts are on the website I linked to above. Just click on the avatars.

https://www.fossify.org/ only lists reddit and Telegram of all services. You may be able to get in touch with some of the contributors via GitHub. And you could see if some of them recycle their user names on Mastodon.

Don't forget the klick. Most of them are not buying that either.

The people in all the countries that have no problem counting off another dozen past twelve don't always do that though. If you meet your friend at 15:00 most people will revert to "at 3" in their language. And they might "go to bed at 11." Economy of language and context clues. So colloquially the am/pm crowd and the 24h folks aren't far apart at all.

And any person claiming that it's too difficult to add or subtract twelve from at maximum a low two-digit integer ought to have their passport revoked.

There are also canals that aren't this shallow. As summer lasts on average five minutes, anybody falling into one is more likely to wear thick layers of clothes, which is a problem when they're getting wet. Most British people are also probably under the influence when they fall into a canal. Or children. And you can drown in a puddle.

I can think of two confederacies that have flags. And you haven't specified the feed.

Which one? And that applies both to the confederacy and the feed here.

To be fair, if anything on the internet has too much traffic, it becomes unavailable. That strategy is at the heart of (D)DOS attacks.

 

... and then you have to go back and do it again. Mildly infuriating a-hole design on the LINE messaging app (popular in Japan).

 

To the berry, Kates!

 

Und wir fragen, wo der Hass dieser Tage herkommt.

 

About three weeks ago they have embarked on major changes to the mobile app that have made different parts of it useless. Their forum is full of frustrated users and all they get is "we will fix this soon." As I said, it's been 3 weeks. Currently, the mixer is broken so nothing can be finished ...

I am making music as a hobby to put in family videos and stuff like that. It's instrumental. I don't want to use bullshAIt. What are good alternatives to this no longer good app from Image Line?

 
 

I don't have the foggiest idea where I could've gotten the idea from.
