I thought it was The Onion.

Would the prime directive apply if SG-1 is interacting with humans originally sourced and trafficked from Earth?

For anal flushing, please, please, please, go easy on the water pressure. You don’t want to pop your gut like a balloon on the garden hose.

I second Mint and I would add Pop!_OS by computer seller System76. They are both based on Ubuntu/Debian soif you ever need guides or downloads, anything for Ubuntu or Debian will work on Mint and Pop!_OS.

I find slight imperfections to be beautiful.

I have definitely seen naked women that closely resemble that figuring, so I don’t think it is that exaggerated anymore.

The doctor that did my surgery specializes in neck and head cancer. Because cancer sucks enough, he likes to leave no visible scar. I do not know how he does it but the net result is a scar with two tiny knots at each end. To remove, they cut the knots at each end and pull on one side. It leaves a hair thin line of discoloration rather than your typical Frankenstein thick scar with staples or stitch lines.

When it snows so much that the roads become undrivable.

So the surgery I was talking about was for an aggressive thyroid cancer that had spread. The bonus to the stitch removal was the two drain lines they had to pull from my neck. At least those were more of a dull tugging, but I could feel the line slide across my throat. Yuck.

Unfortunately…multiple times.

I needed to have “under the skin” stitches removed for a surgery that went across my throat from almost ear to ear. For whatever reason they did not use the type that dissolve but I was told that they would be removed after a few weeks. When they did, the process was to cut the knot and proceed to pull what seemed like a two foot long and thick hair out of me. It was like a magician pulling handkerchiefs from his hat. It just would not end and it felt awful.

“What have I done!?!”

Yeah, that’s the gist of the question.

How many different standards are there for sign?

I excluded Spanish because I am already relatively fluent.

Realistically, not India/Pakistan. Other than that I will likely hit the Americas, Europe, Oceania, Thailand, Vietnam, Shanghai, Singapore, maybe South Korea, Japan, UAE, Morrocco for sure, Turkey, etc. So, quite a bit I hope.

I got excited for a moment. Like when you learn Spanish and get most of Italian and Portuguese for free.

Early adopter of that one. ~1994 IIRC

I keep debating Mandarin but my issue is how the language is tied tightly to China. Helpful if I decide to explore China in depth but seemingly less so if I want to “get by” in a large number of countries. If I had an ability to learn languages quickly, I would probably learn French, Mandarin, Arabic, and Hindi, but I think I am already pushing my limits.

Unfortunately, posts that do include the keyword in the text but not in the title, still get through. Case in point, this one.
