This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough.
What, laser-sword welding space wizards weren't crazy enough for you?
In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it's star once, 368 standard days.
Yeah, I can't work up much existential dread at this prospect. Given the immensity of the universe, the odds of this happening anywhere that it will affect the human race anytime soon are pretty damn slim.
The Mercury Eight was a runner in its day.
Yeah, that's a new one on me too. Where I'm from, "Merc" is usually gearhead speak for a Mercury not a Mercedes. Then again, I'm old and out of it, so what do I know.
John Carter: 1970 Death Dealer: 1973
And neither is from the 1980s.
That's just not so. J.M. Barrie's book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.
Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that "You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression." No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.
This is what one of Edmond Dantes alter egos did in the Count of Monte Cristo. “Lord Wilmore” was an eccentric Englishman who understood French perfectly well, but refused to speak it:
… Lord Wilmore appeared….His first remark on entering was, "You know, sir, I do not speak French?"
"I know you do not like to converse in our language," replied the envoy.
"But you may use it," replied Lord Wilmore; "I understand it."
To keep my family as happy and healthy as possible, as long as possible.
Nice, thanks for digging that up. It’s different than I remembered, but the important part is the same, Chewie got a medal.
I haven’t read it since middle school, more than 40 years ago, but I think I recall the Star Wars novelization (of A New Hope’s screen play) stated that Chewie was getting a medal too, but that he’s have to wait because Leia was to short to present it to him the same as she did for Luke and Han.
NA beer is not basically “beer flavored soda.” The only thing the two have in common is carbonation and even that is produced differently in each. Soda is flavored syrup mixed with water that has been carbonated by forcing CO2 through it. NA beer is brewed the same as regular beer, and carbonation occurs during this process. For some NA beers, fermentation is arrested before significant amounts of alcohol form, while others are subjected to a vacuum to lower the boiling point so that the alcohol can be boiled out with a minimum effect of the flavor.
The Pixel 7a replaced my Pixel 3a which I was running LineageOS on.
I miss LineageOS already and may soon install it on the 7a too.
Google Fi had an instant rebate offer on the Pixel 7a - $200 off if activated on an existing Google Fi account. I got mine for $300 plus tax. It’s last year’s model, but I’ll still get more than 4 years of security updates on it.
I use a kettle at home, but I’ve used a microwave at work. I don’t understand what’s remotely laughable about doing so. Boiling water is boiling water.
I’ll tell what is laughable is how America restaurants typically serve hot tea. They draw a small metal container of hot water from the spigot on the side of the coffee maker, and bring it to the table with an empty cup and a teabag. By the time the bag goes in the water, the water is far too cold to infuse properly.
