Khanstant posted:"last I checked, several means 7, not four" I mean, I was taught that: a couple = 2 a few = 3 some = 4 a bunch = 5-6 several = 7 Here it starts to get a bit more ambiguous many = 8-9 lots = ~10-50 a shitload = ~50-100 a fuckton = ~100-1000 a metric fuckton = 1000+ Now, as to the buckets, I feel like they could have at least stopgapped the holes with their buffs, or maybe put the two buckets together and made sure the holes didn't line up, or something, then take turns relaying the one bucket. They looked like they were getting there with less than half a bucket each, but yeah, it's real easy to theorize from the couch while snarfing down popcorn.

None of those numbers are that exact, that’s why we have words for the exact number

Maybe 'several = seven' is a regional thing?

The generational impact of someone's great grandparent incorrectly thinking that several means seven and just making their family think this forever is funny at least

TheCenturion posted:I mean, I was taught that: But what's so funny is that Jelinsky was reaching for this excuse in the first place, like he'd done an occular assessment of the task and a mental calculation so that he knew exactly how long it would take before even starting and seeing the buckets in action, and he knew ahead of time that he could affirmatively complete the challenge in "several" hours, hence his putting his hand up, but then they yanked the rug out from under him by making it 4.

Because words like 'pentuplet' and so on kinda aren't commonly used outside of bands, despite being valid terms to specify 'five' and so on.

First impressions are Kenzie terrifies me on a primal level. And the 2 old men on the cast are only 41? I think Jemila, Ben, and Randen will be the final 3.

That's because those words have different meanings. I have a "pair of cards" versus "I have two cards." If you look into a dining hall and see "a pair of students" versus "two students" those have different meanings, where the pair is you know, paired.

What, you don't use words like 'octothorpe' in casual conversation? Studio posted:That's because those words have different meanings. I have a "pair of cards" versus "I have two cards." If you look into a dining hall and see "a pair of students" versus "two students" those have different meanings, where the pair is you know, paired. Debatable. "I have a pair of sandwiches" means exactly the same thing as 'I have two sandwiches.' "A pair of students today presented a project on Left Handed Screwdrivers" and "Two students today presented a project on Left Handed Screwdrivers" means the same thing. But on the other hand, you probably wouldn't refer to those two students as 'a group,' despite the fact that there can be a group of two, and a group project can have two workers on it. Language is confusing and arbitrary. Either way, he certainly will go down as a Survivor legend. Just not the kind of legend he wanted to be. See? There's that confusion again.

I'll shift back to Deal or No Deal Island discussion to speak in favor of it... It's kinda fun! It's pretty stupid but it's fun enough and it's fun to watch Boston Rob do Boston Rob stuff on another show. A smarter call would have been airing it during the Survivor offseason, in my opinion, but... they didn't. But I enjoyed the second episode well enough! They made the silly Deal or No Deal portion shorter, at least.

If anyone is curious what Liz's business is, it's this website that seems like some hustle culture marketing subscription BS focused on people who want to spam you. https://lizwilcox.com/

Jelinsky’s height would’ve been perfect for that challenge whereas Jess was struggling… but would he have had PERSISTENCE?
