A whole video to say the FAA had a no-fly zone around Picatinny weeks before these drones were spotted.

Who requested the zone? Some government agency, of course.

You could learn from this person, since all your other responses are adversarial.

I think it’s one of those “technically” things, that isn’t useful.

Someone from The Americas is American, technically. That’s how language works.

But I’d venture* that 97.3% of people mean United States when they say “Americans”, or better, it’s what people mean 97.3% of the time. The only time I’ve seen people bring it up is when they’re from a South American country.

So I’d say context and scale of detail/granularity influence the meaning in the moment.

*Totally Made Up Stats

Los Angeles is not in North America

I don’t see a problem with that.

Plus, by tectonic plates, isn’t it America, since N/C/S America are on the same plate, right? (I don’t trust my memory of school from decades ago).

Well, they’re in South America

My grandmother said the same when I showed her a Motorola Droid in 2009. She said “that’s a pocket computer”.

Lol

Lol, I’ll give you the upvote for the entertainment!

Lol, OK, I’ll give you that phrase at least.

But I disagree that vanilla is any kind of simple or plain. It makes chocolate more chocolatey. It adds complexity and depth wherever it goes.

You win. All the upvotes.

But that’s “regular expressions”, which shortened is rej-ecks. How else would you say it? “Rejects”?

I’m pretty sure we have quite a few meteorites that came from Mars.

Chocolate desserts always have vanilla in them, vanilla never has chocolate in it.

Just think about that for a minute…

I like vanilla, some people like chocolate

It’s as if any play is for a given audience, and we have to bridge the gap with our own imagination. Crazy, right? 😆

Mind, I’m not criticizing your point, I agree with it, Hollywood has never been great with accents, it just has to be “good enough”, like watching a stage play and the props have to be “good enough”.

He stole it from Highlander!

I’m not sure I follow? His character is Egyptian, he was immortal. Though I take OP’s point, he couldn’t really be Scottish since he had been alive long before Scotland existed, possibly before the Picts even.

“too”

I’m sure large businesses are doing exactly that. It’s one of the first things I thought of - if you and I can think of it, you know Corp is already on it.
