For a fun side topic, take a look at Micronations

I was on a team testing multimedia for a while and this was the solution for the big lab full of desktops and laptops running automated tests.

Oh, I see it now. That makes sense.

I seriously thought my parents made that up and nobody else called them that. I still don’t know if they have any particular affinity for potatoes or something.

I genuinely couldn’t figure out what “Coked” meant here.

Easy. Just be 64-bit. (Or unsigned, but that’s not as good.)

Ok, I’m confused, is the blank actually used in the middle of large column labels? Like is “A A” a number? how about "A ", " A ", or even " "? (All are three characters) If not then it seems like the base is 26, so I’m not seeing where the 27 multiplier is coming from, except that it’s also a case where there’s no 0 (like music?) and that might throw things off

Edit: Ok, the comment by Morti explains everything. It’s not the blank, it’s the A ≠ AA so there are more numbers before a digit is added thing.

Link?

Why are there gaps on either side of the upper-right square? Seems like shoving those closed (like the OP image) would allow a little more twist on the center squares.

Regarding double negatives, I get what you are saying, but they absolutely can be interpreted as a positive - this is easily proven by simply reversing one of them, and they can be reversed because they are after all negatives.

But if the speaker’s meaning is clear then of course it’s rude and incorrect to misinterpret them.
I feel like there’s a gray area though where some constructions may be genuinely ambiguous which way the speaker meant (since a double negative as negative by definition means the opposite of what the words would mean otherwise)

Thank you!

Well, I had over 800 in the library and an unknown number in the wishlist… Then I saw that a bunch in the wishlist were on sale and now it’s probably closer to 900 in the library than 800.

I mostly play Android games on my phone and tablet.

Ok, I’m ready now, I made it through the day. Not even a bad day really.

I’d like one of those Marvel character stickers please.

I’ve no issues with it on my rooted phone, even during the times when safetynet fails.

I just start with the second mode.

Ah, probably so - I have no idea how long in absolute terms it takes to reach any given amount of fluency, but my thought was that they noticeably still have a way to go - which I figured was why they asked, to get a straight answer on that.

I also have no idea how it’s evaluated or what system those level labels are part of.

No, those are not correct.

If I saw either of those, I would assume that you started learning English recently. (Which is fine, it just means more work for us to understand each other)

As other comments have said the meaning is mostly clear but it’s not how native speakers talk.

Monday has barely started where I am, but I’m looking forward to picking one this afternoon.

And hiring.
