Customer portal asks for information.

It's not our part.

I choose "Part is unknown; no information is available."

It then requires supporting documentation to submit this answer.

Well now I'm just imagining a campaign poster with you hefting an old-time barbell with spherical weights using one hand.

Shoe money or crypto, the classic investment question.

And I have driven between LA and San Jose; I have a sense of that distance.

The interesting thing about this map is that despite what it's attempting to show, this shows that California is actually slightly smaller than I imagine it being. It's still big, but this makes it seem much cozier.

A college roommate had a sticker that said "I'm not part of an organized religion; I'm a Quaker."

And Farscape and Hitchhiker's Guide both solved it at the very beginning with "Here, put this thing in your head."

It's just odd since the language barrier was a plot point in the original Stargate movie.

Oh, it didn't stop us from still watching.

(And she was the same one who said "Don't ask that question" when I wondered why all the aliens in Stargate SG-1 speak English.)

My girlfriend in college used to say of Steve Austin, "I get that his arm is bionic, but when he picks up something heavy, why doesn't his spine collapse?"

I mean, being concerned with shoe quality is perhaps the first thing I've had in common with him.

I'm not saying he's GOOD at it, mind you.

You mean it's not a name? Sam Hain? ;)

Noted. And despite my idle comments, I recognize that the orthography must fit. It's just exasperating that knowledge I have of other languages, including those using the Latin alphabet, is of limited use here.

I was mostly thinking that it at least made a distinction between palatal and velar consonants.

And in English we sometimes had an older spelling that reflected pronunciation and was then modified to indicate etymology instead. I don't know if that happened as much with other languages.

Again, I don't have much knowledge, but I have suspected that Cyrillic might be better suited to those languages.

I am reasonably intelligent from a language basis, and I have yet to figure out Irish spelling. I suspect it involves a lot of "just memorize that this combination makes these sounds."

(I recognize how lame this complaint looks coming from an English speaker.)

Every time "the most feminist man of 1995" shows up is a lesson in humor writing.

I came to see if anyone had made a Mornington Crescent joke yet, and I wasn't disappointed.

Well, that I can't speak to. It's possible my coworker was just being flippant.

I have said that Doctor Zhivago is like a three year old telling a story, because things just happen one after another with little connection.

I was told that's how Russian literature works.

As a tail-end GenXer, most of my theories about them stem from pure demographics: there are simply fewer Xers than any other age group, and they have seldom been the focus or the driver of pop culture. Maybe they tend to cling to the few signifiers they have.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Paramount's planned TV network basically fell through at the same time that Star Wars hit, so Phase II might not have even made it to TV.
