Second... it's hard to say this nicely, but your enconium to Sai is like the American Ambassador coming to the Court of St. James in 1816 and proudly explaining that his country has a legislature and a capital and other shiny things. Yes, kid, good for you, but I've been in this business longer than Sai has.

PWNT.

On behalf of the ZBB, I apologize for Dewrad.

Wonderful, that saves me having to do it myself. Tom can be like a little personal politeness algorithm running in the background and smoothing out any lapses in etiquette for me.

Yes, is is is; if is is not is, something else is is. Or, if is is said by a different structure, we can say that that structure is is: if if is is then then is if.

a jackknifing semi would certainly qualify as an accident, while a semi carrying eggs and jackknives is merely an extremely unusual combo (and possibly a Texan recipe for an omelette), I think.

Amazing how giving something a Latin title makes it sound so much more expressive.

I think this one has merit:

I'm no Noam Chomsky, but I do realize that language will need to function beyond my own ratty English. It's a lot to think about, that's why I have yet to draw a circle.

You really should get a part-time job working with the grounds crew of a football field, because you are just amazing at moving goal posts.

...the doctrine of the trinity states that there is only one ousia, even though there are three perichoretic hypostases. A more intuitive way to conceive of this is to consider that each hypostasis has its own haecceity (and that, presumably, the trinity itself lacks a distinct haecceity, while the trinity as a whole has a unitary quiddity).

Italics mine.

[Kvan]

Haeccity I thought was quiddity!

About Irkutsk:

I hear it was its own state in the mid 1900s, along with SIberia, Yakutsk, and Kamchatka. Warlords ranged over the world, taking and losing territory at the roll of the dice.

I love Risk!

<Red_Dawn> I will continue to redouble, nay retriple, my efforts to assimilate. I'm getting closer. I can already stomach boca burgers with enough hot sauce added.

<Red_Dawn> I've already gotten down to one or two servings of meat a day.
<Red_Dawn> Although partly doucing stuff with hot sauce, oil, etc to add flavor to otherwise bland stuff.

Of course I am.

Dousing things in hot sauce and only just managing to get down to two servings of meat a day is quite a stereotype of Texans...

I will have to work on that. Although for what it's worth, I was using Mexican and Asian sauces rather than a Southern hot sauce.

I would certainly bang a few people in this thread. In fact, were I single (and had I the finances and time to travel extensively), I would be treating this thread as a to-do list.

who fucking cares? it's a stupid stereotype! oh right, you care... nobody else does. hot sauce is hot sauce is hot sauce. incidentally, i love dousing things in hot sauce, although my friend described my food tastes as "comedy hot".

Well no, there are different kinds of hot sauce from different cultures.

Let's not derail this thread in a hotsauce debate people, it's a quote thread.
