There are special privileges for boarding and such that apply to military personnel in uniform, so I’m surprised to hear that they aren’t supposed to be doing that. I saw probably hundreds of soldiers in uniform when transiting SFO over the years. They weren’t armed, as passengers.

I didn’t know that, but it makes sense once you mention it. quote:Given the thread I'd expect people to know that the inset maps showing AK and HI are just that, and that's not where they're really located. I did know that!

Koramei posted:Does anyone know of a geologically/meteorologically accurate (or mostly accurate) continent generator or something similar? Like, you draw mountains and it generates proper rain shadows and climate and whatever. Or it just randomizes plausible continents. There’s stuff like https://www.world-creator.com/ or https://www.world-machine.com/ that games and FX companies use.

No, it’s just saying that Canada hasn’t been defeated, which doesn’t depend on the outcome of 1812 because the country didn’t exist until 1867.

abelwingnut posted:The new capital of Egypt has yet to be given a name. A competition was launched on the new capital's website to choose a new name and logo for the city. A jury of specialists was formed to evaluate the proposals submitted to list and determine the best among all the proposals.[6][7] No official results have yet been announced by the Egyptian Government. In October 2021, transportation minister Kamel al-Wazir indicated the city might be named "Masr," the Arabic equivalent of "Egypt."[8] Other proposed names include "Kemet," "Al Mustaqbal," and "Al Salam. It says a lot about how great Egyptians are that they didn’t have a Capital McCaperson or local equivalent in the mix.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:In this example the capitalized nouns have something in common which is that they're all reasons for the events and actions of the story. While weird to have that be the thing it is the beginning seed of a grammatical rule. I think I would say that the Driver was the reason for the events of the story, really.

Reveilled posted:Wouldn't the mode population centre be like, wherever there's currently a woman giving birth to triplets/quadruplets/etc? Those are really the only points where the mode arguably isn't 1. it’s a 2D map, so “tallest apartment building” is probably it if residence is the question E: but then mode is “most common”, so it’s “everywhere with either 1 or 0 depending on which is most common at the chosen granularity”?
