Definitely square miles.

He's just the worst. Such an embarrassing, bellicose fool of a man. Lord, but he is humiliating.

Personally, I breathe oxygen and drink liquid hydrogen.

I had a French realization.

I’ve been mis-thinking (but correctly pronouncing) the expression “fou malade” for YEARS.

I always thought it was “full malade.”

Doesn’t change the sound or meaning, so no one would ever notice to correct me! And you’d not really ever write it.

Ps. I love words.

Does the interface still look like 1999 otherwise? (It’s been a few years since I’ve used it. )

Golden russet already won.

This must be the runner-up bracket.

I remember cycling around the Arc de Triomphe in 2005. It was terrible.

I’m excited to (sometime?) go biking in the transformed Paris.

14.8km/h. My8yo can bike faster than that. Probably an erroneous decimal place.

I dunno, that already sounds better than the old system, where the frustration was on every line.

The problem is the cars, and all the road space reserved for them, not the buses.

Reserved lanes + active transit priority signalling now please!
