Yeah I feel like 80% of Norwegian is just mutated German.

e.g. Tier --> dyr (animal)

Día de los Muertos, because of the amazing art at the very least. Plus, who wouldn't want a second Halloween of sorts? (I know the reasons to celebrate are very different)

Also, Earth Day and Arbor Day, because our trees and planet are awesome.

Back when I used Windows, it worked fine for me out of the box between Win7 and both Ubuntu-based and Arch-based Linux distros 🤷

This, except consider exFAT. It's more modern than FAT32 but also widely compatible.

Some insects are attracted to light sources, but not mosquitos. They seek out the things our bayou friend already mentioned.

No. Testicles, though lacking the raw strength of Muscles or the courage of elder Uncles, would not be separated from steadfast Principles. Though many tried to insult him with nicknames like "Tubercles" or "Microparticles", those could never stick like they did to poor Treacles or restrain his vigor like heavy Manacles.

Tired of senseless Debacles, he studied scholarly Articles and read ancient Chronicles and prayed nightly for the most magnificent Miracles. Finally one day while meditating, a vision of complex Epicycles formed in the most profound Tabernacles of his mind. He awoke to realize it mattered not what hateful words prodded him like chilly Icicles; he was already atop the Pinnacles of manliness, and he wasn't alone. From that day forth he hung proudly with his wiry protector, the hideous and patchy Follicles no one dared approach.

I used to think it was just a social in-group/out-group thing, so English speakers could more easily spot foreigners for not knowing the odd pronunciations. But the more I learn about language the more I think of the adage "don't ascribe malice to what could be adequately explained by incompetence".

With how many speakers use English, I now think it just gets jumbled and mangled over time and there's no real central authority to correct for that. Ultimately that makes our words sound weirder and more colorful so it's not the worst thing, especially once you understand that even native speakers don't know how to pronounce most large words until heard.

Unless it's supposed to be gazpacho, I'm sure it's fine if you just heat it and stir it a bit.

That's a dove and olives representing peace, right? Pretty good.

Huh, I never even considered that. I guess I always thought of Clear Sky and CoP as standalone expansions of the first game.

 

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:
