There hasn’t been a need for a new Civ since IV so I already wasn’t gonna buy it, but now I’m gonna not buy it even harder.

Good.
I’m just waiting to see how they fuck up Monster Hunter Wilds at this point.
I’m a big fan of hydrogen for stuff like cars. Install more than enough solar or hydro or whatever, then use the surplus energy to create hydrogen cells that can be stored long-term, so that the hydrogen itself is also created with clean, renewable energy, usable on demand.
Dunno why Pythagoras would be mad, since the Pythagorean theorem was known for at least a thousand years before his time.
Cue me rambling about how in English “chai” doesn’t mean “tea” any more than “oolong” or “Earl Grey” does.
“Chai” doesn’t mean “tea” in English though - it signifies a specific type of mixed-spice tea. “Chai tea” is no more redundant in English than “Earl Grey tea” is.
One a word has been borrowed into another language, the meaning/etymology of the word in the source language is irrelevant. For example, I bet when you say “sushi” you mean “fish on/wrapped in rice” and not the vinegared rice itself, because that’s what it means in English. Similarly, when a Japanese speaker says “mansion”, they mean a high-rise apartment or condominium, not a large house, because that’s what the word means in Japanese.
Yeah, because there definitely isn’t a reason why Israel sending troops to other Middle Eastern countries would be a bad idea. It’s definitely just because they’re a bad ally.
The other historians have never had any friends so they can’t relate to close platonic relationships.
Fun fact: while a much more often occurrence than once in a lifetime, “Thursday the 20th” is tied with “Saturday the 20th” as the least-likely combination of days of the week with the 20th day of the month, even though you’d think the chances would be exactly 1/7.
Here’s the math about the Gregorian calendar that explains why. (Even though the post is about Friday the 13th, it straightforwardly can be applied to any other day/date combination as well.)
