On macOS you can hold down ‘e’ to do this, too.
My father (who was in the armed forces) once got asked to fetch “the keys to the indoor mortar range”
Italy, Spain and Austria are in purple. “Mixed” means that there was a mix of left and right in various regions of the country.
SponsorBlock automatically skips the entire sponsorship as soon as it starts, so a lot of the time you wouldn’t even know it was there if you didn’t see the green section of the playback bar.
It’s not just for sponsorships, either. You can set it to skip intro animations, reminders to subscribe, self promotion, etc.
Gurkhas are generally very short. The average height of a Nepalese male is 5ft 4.5in according to Wikipedia
The British Army still has Gurkha regiments to this day, along with the Indian Army. And they’re still badass - if you want an example, check out Dipprasad Pun

I’m not an expert though so if I’m wrong feel free to correct me
OC isn’t claiming that the shift in the industry is solely Apple’s fault:

Lemmy can do this natively on instances running 0.19.0 or above, too.
Yeah, they have a load of these radars at a military base near where I live in the UK. They’re called Radomes, but are commonly referred to as “The Golf Balls” around here lol
Blue Marlin is a semi-submersible ship, which means that it can lower itself partly underwater to allow its cargo to move on/off. The ship is designed primarily to move oil rigs around, with this being a special case. The radar itself is actually a converted oil rig.
