Party A gets 40% of the vote

Party A wins because they get the majority

Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

“Earth shattering kaboom” feels rather apt here.

Sounds like they’re trying to put out a titanium fire using only a bucket of water.

I have a new phrase to use in the future.

I like the edges and corners of a cake/brownie

You might want to try this.

Where’s a good place to start? Is there some overarching narrative or can you read them in any order?

While there are myriad reading orders that have been devised over the years, my method with long extended series such as this one is simple: I consume them in the order in which they were produced/released.

Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it’s not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice…

Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

This is fairly similar to .beat time; in that system you would write it as @708. I guess you could make it @708.3 to be more specific.

Always wanted an ocean-centric map.

I think the above image is the Spilhaus World Ocean map, which I do find very pleasing to look at.

This is just my head canon, but the noise actually comes from speakers on board the ship /in the cockpit

I’m pretty sure this was explicitly addressed in at least one of the pre-Disney novels, and was somewhat entrenched with a part of the fanbase afterward.

I got a Rocket League key from 2016, why in the world would anyone want that?

Probably because Rocket League was removed from Steam after Epic bought the developer, and your key may still be usable on Steam.

Clock King (at least BTAS clock king, the one in the picture) can’t control time.

He did have access to a device in his second appearance that allowed him to control the flow of time, so he had the ability albeit in an indirect fashion.

thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

This is patently absurd, 10 years ago was 1994.

I’ve found a lot of folks from a lot of parts of this map would just tell me they’re “from the Midwest”.

I would venture to say that the part of all of these regions adjacent to the Midwest could be considered subregions of it. Many people you’d meet in these areas would be likely to say they’re in the Midwest.

I’m colour blind and don’t see red very well.

I’m not color blind and almost didn’t see it. This was an okay idea, executed with a terrible choice of colors.

“I would like to send this letter to the Prussian Consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4.30 autogyro?”

For the longest time, I thought it was just an upgraded Wii and I already had one.

Target wasn’t helping:

I would love a print of this to hang up and stare at

If you haven’t seen it, there’s another comment in this thread with a ~66MP image that looks suitable for printing.

He looks like a water skipper.

Somewhat similar, the title refers to an insect that the photo resembles.

To get a little more pedantic, his ex-girlfriend’s adopted daughter.
