That is brilliant.

The housing for dwarfs in dwarf fortress typically fails on the safe and secure parts. So they're pretty much a bunch of squatters.

This technology, in law enforcement hands, is going to be more useful in hostage situations and will probably be mostly deployed to police sharpshooters. This would allow them to fire on a suspect that they wouldn't normally fire on due to a risk of harming a bystander or hostage. It would also be helpful to police sharpshooters that are stationed on helicopters in order to account for the motion of the helicopter on a shot.

Bay of Pigs was a badly planned operation. It should have been placed in the DoD's hands. They underestimate or ignored the popular support Castro held while hinging the success on an uprising by Cubans on the island. Another significant factor in the failure of Bay of Pigs was the state department's insistence that no American personnel or ships be used in the operation so as to avoid linking the US to it, which was hilariously shortsighted as anyone with a brain would have known it was instigated by the US. Thus why it should have been in DoD hands.

If you're posting speed cams in a place where a single 88mph vehicle elevates the average from 40mph to 55mph then you're an idiot.

I asked for a universal term that can apply to any given member of the population. Citizen does not meet that criteria. Citizen is a term with a specific meaning. Immigrants are not citizens until they achieve it yet they are still part of the population. Please try again.

That's a very curious question. What term would you prefer that is likely to be universally correct way to address any given member of the population?

Thank you. I am reading a biography about General Maxwell Taylor right now and I didn't understand why cancelling a game between West Point and Notre Dame would be such a huge deal. Your comment puts that into much better context!

Reality would point out that the term for what you're describe is relaxed pronunciation which in its definition points out that it's a slurring of words. Which basically means it's a "nicer" definition to make people feel better about the fact that they cannot properly enunciate their words.

There is only one correct pronunciation of 'with you'. Everything else is slurring your words.

Blessed is the mind to small to doubt.
