Then it isn’t a half, because half is a term that has a specific meaning.

Halving always produces equal proportions

No train!”—You
I don’t know how it works in high-falutin’ coastal cities nor yurop, since I’m just a flyover, but in my parts there’s a lot more road than there is bus, and not just on the big routes, but on all of 'em. In fact, I’ve never even seen a bus route where there was even so much as half as many feet of bus as there was of road. Based on your comment, I take it that your city runs a bumper-to-bumper infinite loop train of several thousand buses like a gigantic, diesel-powered, horizontal paternoster lift?

There’s nothing else in your comment anymore. Why say anything in the first place if you’re just going to change your mind about it and give up? There’s something to be said for making up your mind before you talk. All your comment really says is “I have no convictions”.
I’m sick of these elitists telling me it’s gross to eat nothing but five cans of refried beans, like, let people enjoy things!

It doesn’t have to be expensive, you can use a fucked up 15 year old laptop that’s had the entire lid ripped off and it’ll be more than good enough for streaming. Trying to work with smart TVs is just polishing a turd.
Yes, among other scandals. That’s why it has been captured and is being debased. The Washington Post is now like Hector’s corpse being dragged and abused in grisly triumph, except there’s no Aphrodite to keep it from rotting.

You’re on the bus, in a seat, but if the bus driver finishes the day and left his hat behind, his hat is in the bus on a seat. Active/private/static vs passive/public/transitory. You’re generally in buildings but on vehicles, unless that vehicle is both private and enclosed. It’s not much more complicated than in[side] vs on [top of]; just keep in mind that it’s predicated on whether or not the encapsulatory nature of the object is necessary to its identity. For instance, you could also ride on a flat parade float without walls or roof, and putting a box on it to make it a bus doesn’t change that, so it remains ‘on’.
Stuart Ashen is the only indie filmmaker I can think of who’s lucky to not be dead from botulism.

Pixel devices are nothing but a trip to the lemon grove, but people with debilitating chronic ass pain tearfully refuse to accept that they wasted their money on GETBRAND. I take those downvotes as an unofficial census confirming how many people don’t know ball.
pimento64@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developersEnglish11·30 days agoPeople who use stock ROMs choose to suffer, just like people who choose to buy a Pixel that will either come unglued, push components through the display, or just constantly overheat.
You have 10 or 15 kids and three or four of them will tough it out enough to grow up. There’s a reason the population exponentially exploded around the time antibiotics and vaccines were invented.
I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but at this point, the next time I hear someone confuse “in” and “on”, or use “floor” when they mean “ground”, I hope they stub their toe so hard the entire nail gets ripped out.
