I think you’ve missed the point. You don’t say it that way because it’s ambiguous and it’s natural to avoid the ambiguity. The same applies to your example; you’re speaking in an intentionally awkward way and you already know how you’d say it normally.
But you literally just demonstrated how dealing with ambiguous pronouns is a non-issue? You’d get the exact same ambiguity with “a mother and daughter went to a concert but [she] got ill”.
If you’re talking about a court case the only person you should be getting advice from is your lawyer. We don’t know who you are, we don’t know where you are, we don’t know what your case is about, and chances are the majority of people here aren’t lawyers. It’s also very unlikely you’re “being dragged into court over a boycott” so I’m certain there’s more to the story you’re not telling us. Don’t bother filling us in though, I’m sure if you let your lawyer know about this post they’d tell you to take it down anyway.
As a general rule of thumb you can’t be forced to purchase a product or service if you haven’t made a binding agreement to do so, but we can’t tell you if or how that applies to your case. Very little of what anyone says here will be useful to you.
Speak to your lawyer.
I’m not so sure about that. As an outside observer, it seems pretty obvious to me that the lack of a left vote in the US is because they do not have a notable left wing party. The best way to win someone’s vote is to represent them. If nobody represents someone nobody will get that vote.
Obviously to actually fix that you’ll need election reform, this is pretty much the expected outcome of a single vote FPTP winner-take-all system.
And I’ve never understood why some people think “JuSt Be CoNtEnT” is a sane response to someone saying they’re unhappy. In your experience, how often does saying that actually help someone?
Why bother? They’re safe at room temperature unless they’ve already been refrigerated, might as well use that fridge space for some that actually benefits from the cold.
At room temperature they’re good for a month or two. If you want long term storage you might as well prep and freeze them which will last you about a year, or there’s a ton of other long-term preservation techniques.
“Better economy” is vague and nebulous, it’s my belief that if someone tells you that’s why they voted they way they did they either didn’t care enough to actually look into their candidates’ policies or they’re trying to hide the real reason they voted. And it’s very unlikely if their primary concern is the economy they wouldn’t bother looking into economic policy beforehand. If that’s what they truly voted for they’d have specific concrete talking points instead, eg changes to some specific tax or changes in funding for some specific type of business.
The same goes for candidates with a platform of “better economy”. Is it a better economy if everyone still struggles as they do now but the people at the top get infinitely richer? Is it a better economy if all big businesses fail but more people now have enough to live healthily and safely? “The economy” is too broad, it means nothing. Specific policy or it’s all bullshit.
That seems iffy to me, that font only has upper case. I ran it through myself and got Caligula Regular, a free (afaik, check before use) font which seems to fit just as well.
It seems crazy to me that some people find roundabouts so hard. I’ve always found them pretty intuitive but I’m definitely biased, when I was learning to drive there were about 8 roundabouts of various sizes near my house and I’d invariably have to take at least 3 at the start of any journey.
It’s probably just because we’re so used to them here but pretty much everyone seems to know how they work. Off the top of my head the only exception is one badly designed roundabout where you’re meant to stay in the outer lane unless you’re taking one exit that’s practically a u-turn, people always take the inner lane (like you’d normally do) and have to change last second.
Nonsense article. They claim Americans “work harder” because they have longer hours, no regulation, and no legal requirement for time off. In other words, they’re closer to slaves.
This is true for all public holidays in the UK, there’s a (usually) fixed number of public holidays but the dates are flexible.
They’re also included in the minimum 28 days paid time off too, meaning if you’re a full time worker and have to work on a bank holiday your employer is legally required to offer an extra day off somewhere else instead, either a fixed date or added to your holiday allowance. Conversely, the “extra” day off you get when a monarch keels over may be subtracted from your holiday allowance for the year. This is also why my employer is allowed to follow English bank holidays despite having next to no presence in England; the number is fixed but the dates are not.
Trans men and castrated men exist, I don’t think it’s the balls.
This makes intuitive sense to me just by looking at the two extremes, assuming a persistent and consistent everlasting rainstorm.
If you’re moving at infinite speed the raindrops are effectively held in place so they don’t fall on you; you only get wet from the drops you walk into on your way to your destination. Since the space between you and the destination is the same regardless of your speed you’ll always get at least this wet.
If you’ve moving at 0 speed you never reach your destination so you’re in the rain for ever and get infinitely wet.
I’m not sure what the argument for moving slower to stay drier is.
Do you eat butter straight? When you cook with butter you can add salt as needed, it’s much harder to remove salt that’s already there.
Men do cry. Quit the toxic bullshit.
Just right click a link, it’s the option directly under copy link.
The T being added in is what? Maybe fifteen years old?
This didn’t sound right to me, I’m sure I heard LGBT more than 15 years ago, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia LGBT was first used around 1988 but OED says 1992, other sources say it became widespread in either the 90s or 00s (varies by source). So 15 is a lower bound for widespread usage but I don’t think we can get much more specific than “15 to 35 years ago”.
The fact it’s a long game isn’t an issue, the problem is that it’s long and bad. A winner is usually determined pretty early on but then there’s still half an hour of random rolls as everyone slowly loses their money. That’s why house rules are mostly adding safety nets, the game’s already over and it’s just not fun running around a board watching your numbers go down. Since house rules don’t change the core gameplay they don’t fix the game and just make it drag even longer.
There’s some very good long games and some very good short games, how long a game is doesn’t determine how good it is.
If you’re pressing a button and want to cancel you can pretty much universally just move off the button before releasing the press and it won’t trigger the action. Works 99% of the time with a mouse, almost as often with a touch interface. Some custom-coded buttons will action on start press (not great imo) and some buttons do some other action on a long press, but if you’re holding it and nothing else has happened just dragging off is safe enough.
It depends on who built the trap. John Kramer is the original jigsaw and came up with the whole “the choice is yours” thing so his traps are always technically escapable. Amanda is the first apprentice and breaks John’s rules by making traps completely impossible, she ends up in three separate games (if you count Saw 2) because John wanted her to stop. Then there’s the cop who’s lead killer for like three movies but I still never remember his name, he just straight-up murders people so obviously his traps aren’t always winnable either. I’m not sure why he even bothers with traps. The guy from Spiral has no real connection to Jigsaw and just uses traps as a cover, but that’s also a detective movie more than a Saw movie; the plot would barely change if there were no traps at all.
