It really upset him when we built a wind farm within sight of his other one here, we should just blanket them in turbines

Monaco has had an open border with France since 1865, so I don’t think that specific thing is a concern

We’ll have lots of English speakers here given the language the question was asked in, so I’ll do Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) instead: dìochuimhneachadh, at 17 letters. It means “forgetting”, and it is pronounced /ˈd̥ʲĩə̃xənəxəɣ/. No, I can’t say it smoothly.

Gàidhlig isn’t one of those languages that can compound words like Finnish or German, this one is just a consequence of a few different things. Firstly, the language’s spelling rules result in a lot of letters that do impart information but aren’t directly pronounced. Consonants have two forms depending on which of two sets of vowels they are next to, so any consonant or consonant cluster must always have vowels from the same set on either side. For example, the “i” in the “imhne” bit in the middle is basically only there to match the “e” at the end, since u and e aren’t in the same set of vowels and we need to know which version of the consonants between them to use. Every h is a modifier on the consonant preceding it as well. Second, the root of it is “un-remember”, so it’s already a shorter word with a prefix. Third, we’re using the verbal noun version, so it’s “the act of forgetting” rather than present-tense as in “currently forgetting something”

There are probably longer words in the language, but I don’t know it very well yet and this was the longest one I could find on a word list. I think there’s actually a version of dìochuimhnich that includes a suffix marking it as being a conditional first person plural doing the forgetting, so “we would forget”, but I don’t understand how that part of the language works. If I was to say that at the moment, I would use two words to do it, so I don’t feel like I can give it as an answer here

It is, but I have no idea what to look for or when. OP should know if they know why it was removed

How do you know the reason for the removal? Is there a modlog entry we can look at?

I can’t imagine you have much daily contact with the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem of th Catholic Church, but they use it. National flag of Georgia too

The Jerusalem cross has actual historical backing, such as coins from 1200s Jerusalem, unlike the Roman salute which was just invented by a French painter

But of course, it’s obvious that Hegseth has it because of the association with the Crusades, not the Catholics of modern day Jerusalem or the country in the Caucasus. Anyone that genuinely wants to depict themselves as a crusader today is probably a white supremacist

To be honest I think we could just ditch the apostrophe in contractions altogether. I cant think of a situation in which itd make anything less clear. At worst there are perhaps uses of the fairly rare non-contraction verb “cant” that wouldn’t be immediately clear

He is simply an avid Crusader Kings fan, there is nothing to worry about

Actually I think it might be worse if he was the kind of CK fan that would get “deus vult” tattooed on himself

It’s actually a Jerusalem cross, which is a separate thing but… equally suspect in this context. It’s a symbol of the crusaders, so it goes right along with his “deus vult” one

This is like if The Pack went to sea

And wikipedia has a list!

Good luck on settling into the new place and schedule!

My sister is a keen baker as well, but it works out quite nicely for us — she’s excellent at doing sweet things, and I like to do bread, so we’ve got a good exchange situation going on. But yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with buying it when the time and/or effort is needed elsewhere first

You could get into baking bread! It doesn’t require much effort or money, it’s interesting (to me, at least, your mileage may vary on this point), fresh bread is absolutely delicious, and bread also happens to have a heap of calories in it. Wheat didn’t get to be one of humanity’s two all time top sources of calories by being weightwatchers-approved

“Each state is lined with an impenetrable wall of swine. We are trapped.”

For that you need a different electoral system. FPTP tends towards dominance by two parties

Trick question, Sonic is Barry Allen’s fursona. They run at the same speed because they’re the same person

I will absolutely not share specifics of this since it would be doxxing him, but I found one of his other social media accounts and it had a post from a week ago that seemed ordinary enough. Whatever got him to stop posting here, it wasn’t something so drastic as to prevent him from engaging with his interests

(Also Squid, if you see this, I am happy to explain how I found you over DMs if it concerns you)

Pfft it still has supersonic wind and diamond rain, it’s cool
