My mom didn’t hyphenate, but she does include her maiden name when writing her full name, after her middle name. It never even occurred to me that that’s uncommon.

Why not just make “raging feminist” louder?

Or, in either field (formal language theory bridges both) it can mean any string of symbols, letters, or tokens.

The point is there’s no statistical difference between rolling one die an infinite number of times, rolling an infinite number of dice once, and rolling an infinite number of dice an infinite number of times.

Correlation doesn’t imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing ‘look over there’.

Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.

When Pump Up the Jam was first broadcast, audiences feared it was real, and that jam would be pumped into their homes.

The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.

Well obviously this flower is pollinated by ducks.

“3.6 violinists. Not great, not terrible.”

Right, like the guy with the negatronic brain isn’t going to be evil. Come on!

Then you get things like GTA or Saints Row, where whether I want to be using kb+m or controller changes based on whether I’m driving or on foot.

I’ve long thought that the ideal control scheme would somehow incorporate both a mouse for camera control, the sheer number of buttons you get from having your off-hand on a keyboard, and also analog inputs for things like movement/steering and vehicle throttle.

There’s a running gag in archaeology that variations on “ritual purposes” actually means “I have no idea what this was for”.

That said, there has historically been a connection between certain divination practices and games of chance, so this could easily be both.
