  1. UN can't be locked unless you have a consensus.
  2. I'm sorry, but our bowling is closing now. Bowltender! Look, my bowl hit all ten pins on the shelf behind you. Where is my prize?
  3. No air for the fan. Lunar vacuum cleaner.
  4. Floor 2971: the upper part of the Flea. You have recognized a Silt Strider.
  5. That's a croationists' way. That's a Sillk Way. *** What if the Earth is round?
  6. The cookie is melted in the milk. Melted Milkookie.
  7. Using Trix??? ZixZax, you are a cheater!
  8. Dynamic gets static. Dynamite is turned into staticmite.
  9. All this thread is about hard numbers...
  10. Almost every early-XX article on genetics, cybernetics, and continent drift topics. *** (And other astrobiology books of same author, a professional astronomer in civilian life.) https://www-nkj-ru.translate.goog/archive/articles/40252/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru (Can't bring the direct links for copyright-copywrong reasons.)
  11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregat https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Aggregat_(rocket_family) Do I get it right, that A-1 and A-2 didn't have a parachute and were fully expendable, even having the (expensive) gyroscopic SAS ? Upd. Yes, they were lithobraking... http://weebau.com/rocket/a2.htm ...but strong. Upd2. Look, the late design of A4b has Wasserfall-shape fins with rear ears.
  12. About the archaix. Banned together with the "Waiter!" thread for making me recall the Mayne Reid's "The Headless Horseman" book (no, not the song) and have it searched and watched on the Gutenberg project webpage to get an answer to the question from childhood, when they describe a saloon and say that (in Russian translation) "don't call him /inn keeper/ instead of /bar man/ or you are risking to get a bottle in your teeth". For decades I didn't know, what exactly archaic word you can't use for a barman/bartender, which they hate so much. And finally I know this. "Clerk"??? For all treasures and fears of the world I could not have an idea to call a bartender "clerk"... And what's even more weird, what's bad in the word "barkeeper"??? But even weirder is the word "ycleped", which I could not even imagine existing and being English. (Like another such pearl, "akimbo"). Of course, google gave me an answer, too. So, "y-" is of same origin as the Deutsch "ge-", to make participles from verbs, and obviously came from that funny Olde English letter looking like "3" for /j/, /zh/, and /g/ (strange, why not also /mkw/). But "yclept" as "called"?... *** So, banned. Just banned.
  13. Whom are you asking, sir? There is nobody standing at your table. Lobster! Do you see that funny guy talking to nobody?
  14. It's called "chicken", and it also was beheaded, skinned, disemboweled, and quartered, before being thrown into the boiling water. Such a medieval recipe. Waiter! Ask the cook, does he call his charcoaled meat barbecue or auto-da-fe?
  15. Freeze it, then it. Does it take more Kerbals to throw a munar rocket into space than to reach the Mun by standing on each other's shoulders?
  16. Banned by the Pythagorean theosievert for archaic units.
  17. Probably the painter confused the color order. Or white was looking indistinct on metal, so reverted intentionally without thoughts about France. https://forma-odezhda.com/encyclopedia/kokardy-russkoj-armii/ P.S. And look: even then the roundel was depicting a fusion device of alarm clock scheme and two-point implosion design. P.P.S. You probably forgot the video about its fuel tank bottle. This, its an variation of alcohol destroyed our home, the moonshine still exploded. In most cases this is an cooling failure filling the air with fumes. Where to try this, if not at home.
  18. Fllor 2968: Hitman himself, cutting a rope.
  19. Yes, they both had. Both Kerbal and Productions. Jeb is a witness.
  20. Because you can't deliver >4.4 m wide rocket blocks by rails. Only by river barges or by special planes like VM-T or An-225 like VM-T.
  21. I mean the life of the office nouveau riche privileged world, not the low class existence. P.S. A funny fact. The developed countries ancest menu of the neolithic-up-to-bronze (American) Indians: potato, tomato, corn, etc. P.P.S. The future archaeologists will be finding the fossilized this, and telling that this is a part of ritual ornament. They will call the modern humans "Culture of Waved Spiral Bread" No! The spirit will flow away. It's a cold dish.
