The short text at the back of the book/cover that is usually a summary of what the book is about, I believe. Also often had some short reviews, like the op title refers to. (The stuff you look at when you are deciding if you want to read the book or not, generally.)

Yes, but then we are talking about this kind of high heel:

There is a big gap between this and the kind of heels that the op is about.

If someone gets angry at "my female friends" that sounds like a them problem, tbh. I've never met anyone that cared about that use, but your mileage might vary, I guess.

[–] Nikko882 10 points 5 months ago (5 children)

It's equally, or more, correct to say "female/male people". It's just like "poor people" is ok, but "the poors" makes you sound like an asshat. Including "people" makes the difference.

That would make sense, yeah. I suppose you can see that on the picture too, he's standing on the shield boss of one shield and the edge of another. It still seems like it would be very heavy for the guy at the top, but I suppose they don't spend that long standing there, maybe.

The way they are currently set up the bottom shield is in front of the shield above it, so that when it gets pushed on it is supported by the next shield (which is again supported by the next shield, and so on).

It feels more intuitive that the shield should overlap the other way (instead of the top of your shield being supported by the next shield, the bottom of your shield would be supported by the previous shield) because the final shield in the row has to be the heaviest to hold and the first one is supported by the ground.

Wouldn't it make more sense to overlap the shields the other way, to transfer the weight of the guy down and into the ground? I'm assuming they tried both ways and the other way has problems that I'm not seeing, but I'm not seeing it.

Sure, but it seems odd to be picky on the use of the word "tree" to refer to the banana tree rather than a herb, but then make the general statement that cows are "colour blind" when they can actually see colour.

[–] Nikko882 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Except cows can see colour. They only have 2 types of colour receptors in their eyes, compared to humans 3, (missing the red one, from what I gather with 30 sec of googling?) so their colour vision is much more limited compared to ours, but they are not colour blind.

I'm guessing they are refering to Dragon Ball (Goku). Whose original voice actress (in Japanese) is Masako Nozawa.

OP is talking about Fahrenheit, but didn't say so for whatever reason. Most ovens I've seen also max out around 275 Celcius.

It's favored by people over 60 and those who have parents that use it constantly, basically.
