Well, a lot of these things are really opinions, or colored by your feelings about them. If I call my dog a sweet little old girl, does it sound wronger if it's an 80 pound puppy GSD with an "old soul"?

But suppose you're right and we disallow anything outside of the opinion category, unless it can be shown to be objectively true. What if my keister was purple, because of the color of my pants? No opinion there. Ugly purple no-good keister sounds about as right or slightly better than ugly no-good purple keister.

I agree that the rule seems plausible because lots of parts of it work, and lots of examples of things sounding right or wrong come to mind, but it seeming plausible doesn't mean it's true, if that makes sense. I would want to see statistics. I want to see someone say "we ran this corpus of 30,000 books through a computer, used this natural language processor to categorize every string of consecutive adjectives, and found that such and such percent of them fit the rule perfectly. The violations were mostly of so and so"

Tbh I'm probably not going to do it or look into it too much, I ain't got time, and I'm sure there's a grad student this would be perfect for. But without a more rigorous analysis, I'd hesitate to pass on the rule as if it were true.

So why not 14:9? It's used, but not as a shooting format. Only as a compromise for 16:9 and 4:3.

Not sure how much it factors into this but I see poultry getting a bad rep as people hear bad stories of mass-grown animals, antibiotics and what not.

Sorry. To add to this, i was under the impression that fish can't move from the deepest parts of the ocean floor up the water column very far, because the pressure is to different and they'll be unable to hold their shape and therefore survive.

Both Jews and the Amish have many workarounds in terms of the things that are acceptable and unacceptable, it’s almost funny sometimes.

This is where McDonald's Filet-O-Fish came from. McDonald's fanchisee Lou Coen came up with the idea. McDonald's founder Ray Kroc wasn't convinced and devised a Hula Burger (grilled pineapple with cheese) as an alternative and challenged Coen to a competition. The highest-selling product would win.

The Filet-O-Fish won handily, selling 350 to...some very small number that Ray Kroc wouldn't admit. It was reportedly the first ever addition to the McDonald's menu. It was a huge hit among Catholics after that.

It might be eli5 to say that the GPU is really good at multiplying grids (matrix) of numbers together. Lots of them. At the same time. And grids of numbers are great at representing things in 3D, like in games.

A CPU can do it, but when there’s bajillions of them to multiply together best to go with the thing that can do hundreds at a time instead of a handful.

There's an old saying that something is "neither fish, fowl nor good red meat" (not really one thing or another). My understanding is that, at one time, fish wasn't considered "meat", basically. So the imprecation not to eat meat didn't extend to fish.

(For what it's worth, in my usage of the words as I grew up with them at least, the two words still mean different things in common parlance.)

I remember them from our local hospital here in Germany. When I was a kid in the mid 80's I was in this hospital for a minor surgery for a week. The side tables next to the bed were such "rolling cabinets" with built in radios but without speakers, and no TVs back then. The only choice to listen to the radio was such a " tubed one ear headphone". Very uncomfortable to wear and you barely could understand anything. I was so bored and sad, my family gifted me my first walkman.

Generally in counties sherif is elected, in cities cheef of police is asigned

Doesn’t quite work however because “yella” in this case is really saying coward, right?

All commercial bananas are clones from the same tree. Bred to be seedless.

Very susceptible to disease from lack of genetic diversity...

One I saw earlier was "ugly, yella, no-good keister," which sandwiches color between two opinions.

I suppose the easiest way to demonstrate that would be to come up with a counterexample, but I can't think of one.

But...that example breaks the alleged rule. Ugly and no good are both opinions, yella is a color. If the rule really worked without exception, this would sound wrong and strange to us, but "ugly, no-good, yella keister" would sound normal. I'd say the opposite is true, the one following the rules sounds a tiny bit worse but is also pretty much fine.

The rules for Catholics have lapsed quite a lot over time. They used to not be allowed to eat meat on any Friday. Now its just Good Friday.

Seedless fruit trees are propagated as clones, but humans do the propagating. In the wild, they would be unable to reproduce. Seeded fruit tree varieties are also propagated as clones, though.

My dad was raised catholic but never practiced as an adult. We ate fish for dinner every Friday. And I still do to this day. None of us are religious but it's just tradition I guess.

I do remember being spanked by my Nan for eating beef on good Friday though.

They usually establish a contract to get coverage from another PD until they can create their own. There are cities in LA that have no PD and instead have contracts for the LA sheriff's to cover the area.

Nearly all clouds are made of either fog or ice-dust. Fog is tiny, tiny bits of liquid water. Ice dust particles also start tiny but they can grow into snowflakes if water-vapor is added to the cloud.

Rarely, clouds can contain other things like dust from a sandy desert or ash and acid from a volcanic eruption.

Fog is possible at temperatures below freezing. It's not completely stable - it wants to freeze - but it doesn't freeze immediately. Things like the age of a cloud, its temperature, and the amount and kind of dust in the air predict whether freezing starts.

Below freezing temperatures, ice dust is more stable. So once a cloud starts to freeze, the growing ice crystals "steal" the water from water droplets, even if they never touch.

Cirrus clouds and contrails are made of ice dust. They form at very high altitudes and cold temperatures.

If you see snow, you can be sure that it came from an icy cloud. Rain usually comes from wet clouds, but icy clouds can make rain if there is enough warm air below them, so this depends on the season.

Thunderstorms seem to always have ice at the top, and they usually have wet bases.

Modern radar systems can see a difference between wet fog and ice dust and especially snow. This is mostly useful for research, but it's also interesting for aviation. Freezing wet fog will stick to solid objects and form ice - this is especially dangerous for small aircraft. Ice dust and snow don't do that.

I shitted a brown big brick this morning

I feel like this needs vetting. From what I can tell this assertion has been attributed to like one source and from there passed around like it's fact. My gut tells me this is one of those things like "i before e," with tons of exceptions, ambiguities, and variation, but I admit i don't have the research.

In the USA the state does. The state constitution usually includes the process for incorporating new cities, etc. Since this is a state power, the exact answer to your question will be "it depends on the state".
