I remember when I was young all the boat refugees from Vietnam. I could not understand why people said USA lost, but all the refugees were Vietnamese. If USA lost, whay were they not American?

Solvable by using lasers!

Not "sharks with lasers" but "Stingray Laser system"

I think colon at the start of a line was used for labels for goto statments.

https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/bourne/PWB/goto.1.html

  DESCRIPTION
     Goto is allowed only when the Shell is taking commands  from
     a file.  The file is searched from the beginning for a line
     beginning with `:' followed by one or more  spaces  followed
     by  the  label.  If  such a line is found, the goto command
     returns.  Since the read pointer in the command file  points
     to  the  line  after  the label, the effect is to cause the
     Shell to transfer to the labelled line.

Like a money-back guarantee?

Like you get when you buy e.g. MS products?

I don't know much about her, but isn't that just communist propaganda? Labeling anyone who wants to get free from Maduro and return to democracy as "fascists".

Did SourceSafe even have a proper merge?

They don't have a Vision Zero? (Plan for 0 deaths).

Norway has ~100 persons killed in traffic per year, but is not satisfied with that:

Quite a few modern cars do.

Drivers often don't, so it might be an improvement.

But note that it actually takes energy to break down the protein.

If you eat 100 kcal protein your body burns 20-30 kcal to process it. And you will feel more satiated than with the same amount of carbs.

Interesting. Is it possible to add what sources you use for each datapoint? The Acts and Epistles of course (verse numbers would be nice), but you use more sources, right?

Set columns to 6, and the pattern is changed in an "interesting" way.

All primes are n*6 +/- 1 (after the primes 2 and 3 that are "special").

Loved this:

"RE: Your letter, received April Fools' day"

Since English is not my mother tounge, I looked it up.

Oxford actually has (as one of three definitions):

either member of a married couple or of an established unmarried couple. "she lived with her partner"

a person with whom one has sex; a lover. "make sure that you or your partner are using an effective method of contraception"

Seems that Americans have a very weird 'love and hate' relationship to anything related to sex.

When I was younger I had a period I often was thinking about prime numbers (before I got old and started thinking about the Roman Empire).

I noticed the same as you, and IIRC the (some?) ancient greeks actually had an idea about 1 as not a number, but the unit that numbers were made of. So in a different class.

2 and 3 are also different, or rather all other primes from 5 and up are neighbours to a multiple of 6, (though not all such neighbours are primes of course).

In base-6 all those primes end in 5 or 1. What is the significance? I don't know. I remember that I started thinking that 2*3=6, maybe the sequence of primes is a result of the intertwining of numbersystems in multiple dimensions or whatever? Then I started thinking about the late republic instead. ;)

How close are they to succeding? What was the population when they started and how much has it been reduced?

But those two are often closely related...

It's already done, so no need.

Yes that is my understanding too. Short chained saturated fat to be exact, so don't tell any of the lipophobics or they will automatically add the prefix "unhealthy" to it as they are accustomed to.

The point is how much of the carbs are you actually getting. The fibers that you excrete isn't part of your net intake.

For a non-monotheist, like Genghis Khan, religious tolerance would not be something "special" you have to grant.

It is the monotheists that has problems with other religions.

Norway is special. 94.3% of new cars sold last month were electric cars.

Actually, in the private marked it was 96.7% !

But if exact dates/time is shown you have the possibility to mentally subtract one hour from what the time is, and look for that.

With 1 hour/week/month/year you cannot go the other way, it is too vague.

But web pages and apps should provide a quick and easy way of changing between the too formats.

How is Hamas a threat to western governments?

And S-A's apartheid government was actually boikotted by western governments. How do you explain that?

This confuse us foreigners trying to use the English language even more than it must confuse regular english speakers.

Not only did you (you guys, y'all, plural you, whatever...) mix up ye with you, using only the object form, but also started using it for thou and thee. Also, it was thy/thine not yours in the singular form.

I suggest you "fix" your language by reintroducing these words, they (plural they) are not completely lost yet (ref: dialects and the Bible).

Or... Maybe both the word viking and vik as in Viken comes from the same verb vikja that means to move (away). The idea being that a vik is where the costline moves away from the "sea road", the "NorWay" ;)

By the way, another word used for Viken (when used for the Oslofjord) is Folden, which means "the fold", so it is where the costline moves or folds away. Also, the counties on the west and east side of Oslofjord was until resently Vestfold and Østfold (meaning west and east (of the) fold)

Snorri uses it in several sagas (given time I might look it up, but not now).

In the christian middle ages it could be used as a translation for the word for pirat. So talking about "the age of the vikings" is really like talking about "the age of the pirats", where the people themselves are norse, danes or swedes etc.

Probably just folk etymology (and from the 18th-19th century?).

Note that the county of Viken was established in 2020, (though roughfly based on a historical name).

The first documented viking raids to England was described as coming from Hordaland, on the west side of (southern) Norway, while Viken is/was on the east side (and partially in Sweden today).

Also, people from Viken was in old norse called víkverir, not vikings.

Where do you live? Here in Europe everybody I know has electricity at home. I only know one person who has a petrol/gas pump (he runs a gas station).
