You know, it just kinda clicked for me, a lot of people can relate much more to the bottom person than the top. There's quite a few people who scoff at education. Call people eggheads and stuff.
I did some research, and apparently, "United States" without "of America" could be a kind of ellipsis. But more likely, it's just an alternative country name. So I think that makes US an initialism (because you pronounce it as [yu-es]) for an alt (bonus info: this is a final clipping, or apocope, of "alternative") name.
Linguistics is such a dirt hut...
It doesn't happen very often, but I've heard it used that way. It's usually obvious from context, like I think I heard with "OLED vs. LED". And as @brachypelmasmithi@lemm.ee mentioned, it's used a lot in languages other than English, in my experience in many slavic ones, for example.
Is initialism a type of acronym? Or do they have an umbrella term? Surely, they are the same thing, but if initialism has easily string-able sounds it's an acronym (ex. CPU vs. RAM). And some are even both depending on person saying it, like LED.
They already do that. I think it was Did You Know Gaming channel's video about Pókemon ROM hacks and they mentioned that few of them were likely taken down because they were targeted by an AI crawler.
Btw, does anybody know what bottle was used for that Aldebaran Whisky? It looks to me like Jose Cuervo 1800 bottle.
In ST they definitely use shuttles and runabouts to travel between star systems, but they aren't called starships.
Oh you mean that the number 256 overflows into 0 in 8-bit range. My joke was leaning more into the idea that when you use all 256 possible bit combinations (1111 1111), it can represent -1 in signed integer formats. Even though 255 is the highest number you can directly represent, there are still 256 total combinations, including zero, so IMO, the joke works.
I'm not sure what you're implying with this. But how did you dig this up anyway?
If you think about it, Trump fits even better. Also wears red (figuratively) and is chonky, but he's actually yellow/orange, unlike Xi.
Skill issue. Try the following:
- be born into a different family that did have a Mega Drive
- time travel back in time and give yourself a Mega Drive
- travel to an alternate universe (or as I like to call it, time travel sideways) where Mega Drives are standard issue at birth
Hope this helps. Git gud.
Sick burn and true, we have so few comments that we read all of them anyway.
