StandardVC10 posted:Wait, when's the last time someone got killed by a rocket launch? Latest fatal F1 accident was in October 2014, and he died in July 2015 after being in a coma. I'm gonna presume that the last rocket launch fatality was farther away than that.

Antti posted:Honestly it sounds like the negative vote, a nice idea in theory that has the potential to be a disaster in practice (kinda like the electoral college!). What happens if the population never gives a majority to anyone? Does the country just go un-run until then? Worked for Belgium I have no idea if it actually worked or if that's what happened to Belgium

So Obama was given an ailing economy, and within his terms he took unemployment down to just about half, raised the average hourly wage by 4$/hr (20% or so), and increased consumer confidence five-fold? And that's a BAD thing?

ultrafilter posted:Do other languages have similar rules for multiple adjectives? Searching for "$language adjective order" mostly just turns up results about whether the adjectives go before or after nouns. I believe Greek has it but I don't remember off the top of my head if and when we ever learned it formally or just instinct. And I recall learning about order of stuff for German, but that was ZAO, Zeit, Art, Ort (time, means, place) for things like "I will go tomorrow by bus to work" or something, rather than adjectives themselves.

MrUnderbridge posted:Yep, had a dark metallic green Focus. I called it the Ficus. The first gen Focus hatchback is one off those cars that, in my mind, have a default color, that dark-ish teal color it had. I can't even explain why specifically the Focus, we never had one, and while we did have other cars in other colors, it's not like I think "Alfa Romeo 156 = Red" by default

credburn posted:I live in Oregon where we don't have sales tax, so most things ring up as they are listed, except for things like soda and beer that have a bottle deposit. People have lived here seventy years and will still be confused, confounded, insulted and determined to take a stance against this misdirection whenever their two-for-five-dollars budweiser rings up 5.20. "I ONLY BROUGHT FIVE DOLLARS" is a REGULAR FUCKIN RESPONSE (I am a cashier) See that also rings a bit weird to me. Why not have the price on the shelf be "Credburn Beer - 1,69 dollars", with a note that says that 9 cents is the bottle deposit, then at the cashier it just rings up as two items, 1,60 (beer) 0,09 (bottle)? That's literally how it's done here, you just get your bottle money back when you return the bottles, no need to worry at the till.

I don't get why this is bad, it marks a percentage change from a baseline of 100. I guess they could've just done it as a flat percentage (starting from 0% change at 0)?
