And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I’d like to point out, ‘proper’ jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is ‘up to a year,’ but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait… isn’t ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It’s still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

Dehydration is a common cause for cats to be ‘ill’ and brought to the vet,* so it could be that their piss reeks because they are having to concentrate it so much in the first place.

*source: a dimly remembered conversation with a vet friend when I asked her why she was adding water to the already wet food for her cat. She said her cat could never be encouraged to drink enough, so it was her way of staving off the annoyance of giving iv fluids to her own animal someday.

Damnit! My secret-keeping low volume speakers have foiled me again!

My mind somehow meshes the ideas from butcher’s dresden books, where your belief in an icon as a symbol of the faith matters more than its actual connection to the religion, and lackey’s high magic (compared to the wild magic) where the collective energy of the populace can be collected and stored to be used. So I end up with this idea where the catholic church has collected a vast amount of energy to be used, and the utterance of latin is the individual’s (in this case constantine’s) personal symbolic link to the catholic church to harness that energy.

That always made me do a double take in hades. Everytime he was called ‘prince zed’ by sisyphus I had to take a second to think about what was being said.

You’re gay and canadian? Notice me, senpai!

You did drop the t to a glottal stop in your last glass of water, though, just saying! :P

Wait until you learn why it’s called epinephrine. Then you’ll really roll your eyes.

Don’t you dare say waddling is from across the pond. Here in america, more than 60% of our population waddles about!

The globe? Sure. A region, or even a country? It’s more common than you think. Sales, ‘professionals’ with conferences, and people that work for large companies that have people meeting… these all move large amounts of folks around for work, and hotels are easy to book, invoice to the company, and are generally next to a conference center or have it in the same building.

That’s amazing. How did you build the vertical space? I built about 300 observation towers into a lovely platform to ‘skydive’ from, and then my game lagged out. I have a really old comp, so it was expected, but still grumbling worthy. I couldn’t really get the hang of the vertical building without stacking and deleting platforms.

Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.

Yamaha is definitely in tune with the music. I never remember which is which, but their logo is tuning forks and depending on the product the tuning forks can extend past the circle. I think their motorcycles have it extending past.
