Never heard of the greengrocer’s apostrophe so I looked it up. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-greengrocers-apostrophe-1690826
I absolutely love that there’s a group called the Apostrophe Protection Society. Is there something like that for the Oxford Comma? I’d gladly join them!
Thankfully the chances of that happening would be reduced by the difference between the solar system’s ecliptic place vs that of the Milky Way. According to this Stack Exchange user, it’s a 60.2-degree difference. Illustrated beautifully here.
Then again, it isn’t called a “cloud” for nothing. Still, a large chunk of it is theorized to be aligned with the plane of the solar system.
It’s a shame some of the better components have baby-sensory RGB lights tacked on. I’d have bought my parts plain if that was a convenient choice.
Oh also

I was gonna say that Texas’ flag is the only one “allowed” to be at the same height as the U.S. flag, but apparently I’ve been taught a big ol’ lie.
In fact it looks like we’re both wrong, according to Snopes.
I am a banana!

This is just off the top of my head from a bit of experience in KSP, but depending on the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engines, it would probably be able to take off, but you’re right, it wouldn’t win any fuel economy awards.
Actually I doubt any material could stand that kind of wing loading, and the aerodynamics would probably be all kinds of fucked. Pretty apt analogy for a beginner developer.
Did the Neutral President write this?
I also hope he ties himself to the rest of his fellow lunatics, but they’ll simply say he’s a Democrat plant or some shit. “Lone wolf” at the very least. It’s all so tiresome
I would love to see Putin try to lift a sword against Zelensky
That’s interesting. I should explore the syntax of my native language more, haha. Thanks for the sources!
As for line breaks, I’m not sure if some variant of \n works (guess we’ll find out), but I just hit enter twice when I want one.
You just hurt my brain, but in a good way, like scraping off a layer of rust.
On the first point, you’ve convinced me. I wasn’t thinking about the context of the phrase. After factoring that in, it makes more sense the way you put it.
But I’m still stuck on the second one. I don’t disagree with the way you explained it, but for some reason I can’t reconcile your reasoning with my intuition. Unfortunately, the only way I can rationalize it is by gesturing broadly toward older literature, from the early 20th century. There’s something about the artistic style people used that I’ve always found beautiful, and my usage of “not one”, to me, kind of fits. I admit it makes no logical sense, but in my mind it feels as correct as anything else.
Regardless, I’ll consider your logic next time I use “none” because you’re definitely not wrong about it.
Regarding the actual article, I have nothing to add that hasn’t been discussed already (and at this point I bet nobody will see this comment anyway). However, the specific grammar error in the title annoys me to no end, so I wanted to vent.
…one in 10 residents are…
It should be “…one in 10 residents is…”
People seem to forget how to conjugate after three words. Similarly, all too often I read something like, “None of these things are…” I don’t have an English degree, but in my mind parsing that phrase is like nails on a chalkboard.
For the 0 of you still reading, a tip: You can omit certain parts of the sentence - and expand others - to test how the subject-verb pair sounds.
“None of these things are…” -> “Not one of these things are…” -> “Not one are…” Wtf??
Anyway, thanks for listening to my Ted Talk Ralph Rant.
I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to not stop
If memory serves, that’s what the person said. Then again, it was on reddit, so I should have immediately looked to confirm it myself instead of filing it away in the “pretty sure” drawer. Let’s not mention that I started driving maybe 17 years ago, hah. Well, lesson learned!
I didn’t even think that it would vary by state (of course it does), and I should have checked my state’s law, but this community was made for a reason after all 🤷♂️
Anyway, my state says something very similar. Thanks for indirectly nudging me to do my own research!
“Goober” is a more whimsical descriptor than she deserves, but I’m with you.
I don’t keep up with Uber news, but do they still not consider their drivers to be actual employees, but rather 1099 workers? Either way that company can go to hell.
Lyft too if they have the same attitude.
France or Belgium would be my guess. The box on top of the cabinet reads “Le temps des soupes”
