It does look like a pretty neat calque. I hadn’t noticed that the -oline ending was likely related to oleum.

And the temperature and sound changes too. Also it’s pretty neat to be in a crowd for a moment of communal awe.

Does it also suppress inline images from others? Because that sounds real nice

Over the past 7-ish years more and more states have legalized online sports gambling. There was a longstanding law that essentially forbade it in most states. It was struck down at the start of this rush.

It could be part of a gradual decline as a result of that

The cards were definitely being called chip and PIN as they were being introduced.

I don’t recall the PIN ever being used outside of debit cards (which already used PINs in certain contexts).

Occasionally gas pumps will ask for the postal code of the billing address, but that’s about as close as we get.

A few hours. For me home is always a few things: my current residence, the place I grew up, and any place I slept last night that I’ll sleep again tonight.

They don’t all mean the same thing, but let’s go home could mean any of those.

Maybe function first helps with cosplaying as rural. People get very up in arms about frame type. The twice yearly sedanfull of potting soil is incredibly serious.

That will work in some regions. In others you may need to rent a bear canister. Talk to your local rangers to find out what’s appropriate, it depends on the local bears.

Which country?

If the question were about books instead of movies/shows Anne of Green Gables would be my answer.

The show’s on my list to watch, but that only grows, never shrinks.

I tear up at most movies. It’s not a sad movie, but Everything Everywhere All at Once holds the current record for most cries.

Generally if a movie doesn’t make me tear up at least once that’s a bad sign. At the same time I don’t gravitate towards tearjerkers, they can feel emotionally manipulative and heavy handed.

I almost never cry for TV shows or books.

I can’t really visualize things in general. Due to that, if you tell me it’s muddy that’s most of the information I get. My brain won’t automatically try to put mud on the horses or add other details.

Here the specifics help a lot and I have a better sense of the muddy day for it.

AI aside, different voices may be immersion breaking. I tend to avoid audiobooks with more than a single narrator.

You’ll love TV advertising schedules. You can buy slots all the way up through 29:59:59

Or just start ordinals with 0th for years 0-99

This is standard in US-style carrot cakes

It’s not simply a reading comprehension thing with bullet points. If your questions require research on my end having them already structured in bullets does a few things to help with that process.

The asker’s bullet structure gives something to mimic. You can even put your answers directly below the question, so the asker can be reminded of their own questions.

The bullets also help skimming, if I need to see which item id is needed next it’s easier to do so without losing my place.

Bullet grammar structure also allows for much terser sentences. If I need to reread your question it’s easier if I don’t have to ignore a bunch of words that don’t substantively alter the meaning.

Do I need any of these? No. Could I put the questions into bullets myself for the reply? Sure. But it’s easier to spend more time and effort on answering your questions if you save me a few steps.

We also check to see if the word that popped into our heads actually rhymes by saying it out loud. Actual validation steps we can take is a bigger difference than being a little more robust.

We also have non-list based methods like breaking the word down into smaller chunks to try to build up hopefully more novel rhymes. I imagine professionals have even more tools, given the complexity of more modern rhyme schemes.

Even in fairly sensible states and for egg freezing, they may want you to jump through hoops.

As part of the process my significant other apparently had to either tell them I didn’t exist, or they’d want to talk to me for permission to freeze her eggs. Even if we were married, they’re her eggs not mine. It’s completely inappropriate to need to talk to me.

Of what others have suggested and that I’ve read: the ones most similar to what you’ve finished are:

• The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie
• The Expanse series by James SA Corey
• Hyperion (at least the first two books, w/ optional two more) by Dan Simmons

New recommendations:

• Dhalgren by Samuel R Delany (content warning)
• The Baroque Cycle series by Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash and the Diamond Age may both be better starting points for the author, but may fit your other criteria less)
• The Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe

Other works that stretch your genre boundary but may evoke the right emotion:

• Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
• If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino
• The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
• Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
• The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
• Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff
• Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M Danforth
• John Dies at the End by David Wong
