  • I believe 皮肉 means "skin of the meat", or in other words, superficial. What's being said is not necrssarily the intent of the words. Or, in other words, sarcasm.

  • How about we save some time and just install some sprinklers?

  • Glad you like it! It's got a lot of humor, and I really like the music. As the other comment said, you can always get the DS version, made before this DRM existed. There are also parts of the game that work better with the dual screen/touch screen setup, as that's what the game was designed for.

  • A shame you haven't heard of Ghost Trick actually! It's a fun puzzle game about a guy trying to solve his own murder, as he's a ghost who's forgotten who he is. You have to set up rube goldberg machines to prevent other people from dying, that may or may not be related to your death.

    Also a shame that it has DRM.

  • iirc 999 smells like peanut butter, so it might taste like it too. Eating it might be hard though, I think it's one of those hard to kill types.

  • So, a dryad...?

  • Sure, that's sort of what I said.

  • People can put whatevet they want on their vehicle, that's none of my business. That said, I'd be too afraid that having something like this would incentivize some asshole to vandalize my car.

  • The shells may not have inherently sharp edges, but if they're big enough to fit over your ears, and weren't caged in some convoluted way, if you rolled over and broke them, then you might have some sharp problems.

  • I can for this example yes, but those were sort of rhetorical questions about how polls like this are presented in general. I suppose the linked article is more clear than the title of this post is. "49% of Americans believe," No, 49% of people who voted on this NY Times poll believe this. I know, it's impossible to actually get every American to weigh in on this poll, I'm just saying I don't like statistics like this because to me they don't mean anything other than a 1000 or so people feel this way.

  • Who conducts these polls? How many people were polled? 100? 1000? I always see "Americans say this" or "People believe that", but I certainly never voted on any poll, no one I know has. It always makes me feel like the polling base is going to be biased or carefully selected in some way to achieve the desired percentages.

  • I doubt that lad accepts any unit other than whole.

  • Do people refer to individual units of lasagna as "slices"? Admittedly I've never thought of how to refer to one other than as a plate of lasagna, but I've never heard anyone else use slice, like you would a cake.

  • Unfortunately(?) no, if I was I'd be able to afford a convenient micro sized phone. Or I'd just demand some tech company make it for me.

  • I haven't, do you have any specific recommendations? These Xperias seem just as big, if not bigger, than the phone I currently have. And I don't know if narrower is necessarily the solution to my problem either, I know we live in a 16:9 world, but I kind of just want a square phone.

  • Seriously, I want a phone that I can hold in one hand, and my thumb can reach the entirety of the screen. My current phone is so bulky and heavy, I can barely reach half the screen with my thumb.

  • Please don't leave us behind. Maybe we can cut a deal and cut the state in half?

  • I also had to read it half a dozen times before I realized it wasn't my reading comprehension that was the problem. "What's something people believe was good for its time, that was actually terrible, even back then?" is maybe a more coherent version.

    I'm not sure I have a decent example I can think of though.

  • Civilization VI, I usually make "multiplayer" games so that I can set every AI's team and difficulty, and I'll make a somewhat large map with way too many players, each on teams of two or three, and then one AI will be the god-emperor-king that we all have to band together to defeat.
