Never got to that tier in Duolingo... 😬

Replied with this post before I saw yours. Small correction: it's 'milliard', not 'milliarde'. And 'billiarde' is not a word in French :)

Interesting thought. My maternal language is French (French Quebec also uses long scale), so I am pretty familiar with the difference between long and short scale :) But even in a country that uses long scale, you wouldn't say '1,200 million' when you mean 1.2 billion. In French, for example, a...

Although that cue is countered by the other cue which is the oddity of expressing $1.2 billion as $1,200 million. Just reread the original post though, and there are a pair of mentions of figures under a billion dollars ($410 million and $143 million). The outwardly strange expression of the...

You're absolutely right! My mistake... the numbers seemed so ridiculously high that I assumed the error was missing that a comma can be used to represent a decimal. Also, the odd use of '1200 million' instead of '1.2 billion'. Either way, should have looked it up first. Good catch.

I know this is a super old post, but the number was $2.1 million, not billion i.e. $2,100 million is not $2.1 billion. A pretty large chunk of the globe uses commas instead of periods as a decimal marker.

That need would certainly push you away from a show like Seinfeld! Not a likeable one in the bunch. The whole premise of the finale was their unlikability. Given your requirements, I would definitely stay away from Curb Your Enthusiasm!

Wow, I'd forgotten about that show. You're right there was definitely a Costanza Effect in effect there.

I found Seinfeld himself to be the only unfunny part of the show oddly enough.... To each their own for sure... one man's trash is another man's treasure, etc. I enjoyed Friends as well. Very different type of humour... the more self-centred nature of the Seinfeld characters sure does...

I tried watching Malcom in the Middle once... bored me to tears. Seinfeld I found hilarious though.

I wasn't referring to you! @overgeeked was the poster that was being responded to.

I think you're both coming at this with different definitions of 'special'. The person you're responding to seems to be of the opinion that this Taliesin is a 'spotlight hog', so stretching the meaning of the word 'special' to an undesirable extreme (haven't watched Critical Role... this is just...

Uh, wow. An incredibly sensitive and emotionally charged topic, affecting those in the blast radius to their cores, handled in the most narcissistic manner imaginable. That was ugly. I shut that off before getting to the second scene. But it's a different sort of bad from Solasta's writing...

I'm going to mentally prepare myself before watching this. Watching cringe is tough for me. When Seinfeld was on the air, I'd literally have to mute certain scenes with George, I was so embarrassed on his behalf. I now refer to this as the Costanza Effect.

If the link still isn't working, besides the usual 'try another browser, etc., etc.', you can search for it. The title is: Solasta 2 Announced!!!

That's odd. It's a direct link to an ENWorld thread. I just clicked it and it's fine.

There's a pre-existing thread on Solasta 2 if you're looking for more discussion on the topic.

Not sure where this aggressive response is coming from to be honest. I made some pretty straightforward, objective and factual points. If you want to take that as me 'putting on airs', there's nothing I can do about that. I can think this is odd behaviour on your part, not think any less of you...

Congratulations to the prize-winners, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of these entries. Looking forward to the next one!

Honestly, I don't eat steak very often, but when I do, I prefer them in the Pittsburgh to medium-rare range. Sometimes I'll buy a cheaper/tougher cut, like a round or flank. Medium-rare with that kind of cut is not a pleasant chew, so for those I'll first marinade overnight with something...
