What is there to resolve? The comment I responded to was saying there's no useful distinction between the two words, I pointed out a distinction that I see between the two in what I think is accepted usage. Of course I see my opinion a

The fact that a system may become perverted in the next several hundred years doesn't make it not worth using. Best of luck to my children's children, I hope they don't fuck it up too bad, but I'm not going to preemptive

Sure, the "yet" seemed to imply that one governor has taken over. There's no further information regarding the number of governors, and I refrained from speculation. All I could deduce was that the 1882 governor is dead, the

> There's a tortoise living on the Seychelle's governor garden since 1882 and has outlived every single governor yet. Is this just a fancy way to say that the tortoise is alive, and whoever was governor in 1882 is dead?

I think the comment you replied to is just talking about the government of China. Try looking at China on Google Maps in satellite view.

Luckily I'm pretty sure no one I admire would use this service, because it would be devastating to find out they are a user and instantly lose all respect for them, probably also irrevocably casting a shadow on their work.

Poland was occupied by Germany during WWII. The people still considered themselves Poles during this time, and the only reason there wasn't a 'Poland' was because of military strength, so it seems silly to say that early 1939

In a thread about wages and inflation, I'd say the relevant metric is the one that lets you compare the two. Using percentages makes it clear that the son is actually, really making more money now, whereas the parent has less purchasin

That's kind of long-winded. Maybe the title should just sum up what happens in the article, in a way that sort of gets your interest and makes you want to read the story. How about "An Unbelievable Demo"

I think the main selling point is that it's a slower version of Twitter. I'm not sure what you mean by "less efficient" but I definitely know I don't want Twitter to do whatever it does more efficiently.

To be fair, with most of those, you're paying for a piece of art to some extent. I don't think anyone buying $500 cables thinks the cables themselves are worth that, they're buying them because they expect some tiny increase

That's good. Hopefully soon we institutionalize people who wear funny hats OR drive old cars, and not just the people who do both.
