since you can use adjectives to modify other adjectives, the order clarifies what each adjective is referring to.

e.g a brown brick wall is a wall that is brown colored and made of bricks. a brick brown wall is a wall that brick brown colored and of indeterminate material.

While most of these are actually not a problem, for example the big is still unambiguous, it still sounds wrong because you expect another adjective that the big is modifying, not a noun.

There are old seats

Yeah, I read the second sentence as meaning the wall is brick-brown. In this case, the order does carry meaning.

"The brown big brick wall" still sounds weird though, and I don't think it can be interpreted differently.

What about platypus?

Woops. Thanks for catching that. Will edit

That's what the lavatory ashtrays are for

Clouds are water which has been evaporated and exist because the dew point at altitude is lower, which means that water turns into vapor (which is why your breath clouds up when it gets cold). The air temperature determines how much water air can hold, and any amount of water beyond that showers up as clouds.

It's water. Water, basically.

And bees!

I think you’re conflating two different practices: 1) giving something up for Lent, and 2) Eating fish on Fridays during Lent. Catholics give something up during Lent so simulate Jesus’ 40 days of fasting. It can be anything, so if one chooses to give up red meat they could eat poultry, fish, and/or veggie during Lent….but for Fridays where they must abstain from meat per church rules, but fish isn’t considered meat.

Lenten abstinence from meat byproducts is no longer required for Latin-rite Catholics, although it is still mandatory in Eastern churches that are in union with Rome.

What about ducks?!

Also, glad to see other historical food channel addicts are represented here. I don't even like to fucking cook...

The old “oops, I forgot” is a popular loophole.

Clouds are made of water. When water is vaporized (from boiling it or from evaporation) it goes into the sky as a gas. If there is enough water in the sky, other things in the sky (like dust), will cause the water to condense, or stick together. This accumulation of droplets/crystals is lighter than air and so it floats, making the cloud, and once it gets too heavy, it falls from the sky as rain or snow.

The entire point of lent is personal sacrifice. In pre-modern times, meat is a luxury one eats to celebrate. People are also asked to eat only once a day.

Fish, vegetable and wheat are common food people eat daily.

Little droplets of liquid water. The air is already too humid for the water to evaporate away, but the droplets are too small for gravity to pull them down. When they get a little bigger, gravity does pull them down, and that's rain.

It's ash Wednesday and Fridays that require fasting and white or red meat doesn't have anything to do with it.

It was ment to show piety in giving up more luxurious foods. Fish, grains, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit all ok, as these were staples that the poor generally lived on.

But because the Catholic church was a bit hypocritical and didn't want to upset the rich too much they decreed that bevers were fish because they swam so were ok to eat when fasting.

After posting my reply I considered I might have been incorrect in what I assumed from your comment, so I apologise. I assumed you were talking about when a game doesn't select the dedicated graphics and defaults to the integrated graphics on the CPU, which is quite common and would lead to low frame rates. I've never actually heard of a CPU skipping the integrated graphics and directly rendering a game, which sounds interesting. What does it appear as in your task manager?

Words of such wisdom can only come from experience. Bravo! Bravo.

I remember a flight where those headphones were free, but the adapter to connect them to the armrest was $4.

If the humidity is less than 100%, water is evaporating from the wet bulb, and taking heat with it. If the humidity is 100%, dry bulb and wet bulb are the same temperature.

Low humidity means water evaporates more quickly, so heat gets sucked out more quickly.

It is not the eggs that are the issue. Pancakes would have been cooked and eaten on Tuesday to use up the animal fat that greased the griddle. The fat had to be gone by Ash Wednesday or it would spoil during lent.
