He’ll need a presidential mistress. Melania already gave him a son, you know she doesn’t let him touch her anymore.

Think it’s pretty clear who has the reading comprehension issue. Done engaging with the troll.

That’s a much better, clearer way of stating the point. Thank you.

None of which is anything I’m disagreeing with or have mentioned. Again, your comment I originally replied to was implying because you don’t have giant vehicles people don’t get injured by vehicles. I don’t need to watch the video because I was replying to you and the nonsense implication of your statement.

Your comment said uniquely north american. I even edited my comment to say North American to match your language since I initially did say US.

When I came into this thread, you may have noticed I was replying to you and your assertion that pedestrians outside North America don’t get injured by heavy metal objects. I don’t care how compact your vehicles may be, a hunk of solid metal in motion is going to injure a squishy human being.

lol, right, pedestrians getting injured/killed by cars is uniquely North American. OK buddy.

Unless they have some sort of advanced materials science in other countries we don’t know about here in the US that makes them as light as cardboard, I’d bet my year’s salary you wouldn’t volunteer to let one hit you.

And yes, I have been out of the US. Shall I tell you what we say about those who “assume” things over here?

Kinda sad something like that requires explicit training. I live in a city with a lot of cyclists. I don’t even have a car, just occasionally borrow my friend’s during the few times I actually need one. And even I check the mirrors for cyclists before turning. No one had to tell me to, it just makes logical sense if you give the slightest damn about the safety of anyone else on the road besides yourself.

Any vehicle large enough to carry the necessary equipment and people for emergency services is going to be dangerous to pedestrians. Not sure what you’re trying to prove here.

americans at least don’t actually use those two phrases in conversation

Well now they’re gonna know!

No dress rehearsal today, it’s the stage manager’s nap time, go practice your lines for a few hours.

Bless you for sharing this.

Thought it was pretty funny when the name of the company was mentioned - I work for a company with almost the same name, just a letter off. That show struck a little close to home.

Young kitty, you don’t get to look at me like that until you pay rent and buy groceries.

Thankfully there’s an entire field of linguistics that’s already done the work. Quick Google search shows 22 Latin descendant languages, and 24 Germanic descendant languages. So slightly more, yeah.

Romanian, Catalan, Sicilian, Galician, Venetian, probably a number of other dialects, are also Latin descendants.

The problem is slowing it down to any speed that would end up with it dropping into the sun is going to take more effort and be more difficult than firing it out of the solar system. It isn’t practical.

Poor bird. That imprint is almost cartoonish, lol. Glad the lil dude’s going to be ok, though.

On an unrelated note, “factoids” are things commonly believed to be true, but actually aren’t. I guess you could say factoids are factoids!

Sounds like a storage medium to add to the Hard drives we don’t want or need list.

True. I’d wager a decent chunk of that urban sprawl is due to our massive parking lots.
