You saw a P in Cyrillic - it actually means R

I don't know about your other examples, but there's also the letter rho (Skyrim jokes, anyone?) in the Greek alphabet which looks like a latin P. And the Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician one where you can find the letter rosh which is a vertically mirrored P.
Now the Phoenician alphabet is there since the 11th century BC, the Greek one since the 8th. The Latin one was created in the 7th century BC probably brought to Rome by greek colonies in Southern Italy.

So if you want to argue like that, it's not the Russians, Greeks or Phoenicians who screwed it up, it's the Romans who messed up the alphabet (probably when they found out how to make wine).

But the real question would be: Is it the right version if it is there first or are the changes from the first versions improvments?
Or to continue this long combo from before: GreekAlphabet 0.5 has an update available. Do you wish to update to RomanAlphabet 0.1? *yes* *get lost* *I'm too drunk to hit 'get lost' and therefore ended up here*

LOOOOOOL... I know what my small 20W guitar amp can do with Orbiter, don't try this at home (unless you have already deaf neighbors)

Good to find that out before I tried it with my old crap amp. I think our neighbors already hate us enough from how much my dog barks.

In my appartment, I could bike. But not very comfortably. :lol::lol:

I could do it if I made a hard right turn from where I normally store the bike. Even assuming that I managed to thread the needle between the chair & bookshelf, I would still end up slamming into the laundry room door. Probably better just to keep things outside. :blackeye:

Every appartment takes five seconds to walk from one end to the other.
Although sometimes you need a Deltaglider for that.

Scale models allowed? :lol:

Of your apartment or the Deltaglider?
Deltaglider models seem fine to me, but a scale model of your apartment is only acceptable if it's not standing in your apartment because of this.

It has been a year since I created my nation, Hatsunia.

(in-universe, it was established on August 31)

I guess yours is one of the few on the site with a space program.

It actually means "frighteningly good". And I don't really follow the statistics on my nation page (Hatsunia in 2013 doesn't have advanced AI, and doesn't have over 2 billion people). This is a more accurate depiction, but it is definitely not complete. There's another nation, Inutoland, which has a detailed article on their space program. It's pretty cool.

Essentially, Hatsunia is supposed to be like Japan, but as a federation.

The United States of Mojoey's president suddenly vanished, only to re-surface in a freak sighting by the Minister of War, in the Caymans.

As I don't know where to put this 'comment' I just write it down here.

A few minutes ago I arrived at Jupiter. This is my first travel to another celestial body than the moon! At the moment I am the happiest person on earth - or in Jupiters orbit! Yippie!

So Russia launched successfully three Soyuz rockets this week alone. Not bad.

Am I just weird or is anyone else thinking that pure milk tastes disgusting?

Interestingly enough, I do, but I drink about 2 and a half gallons a week.

The trick is that my family has always been good about not leaving perishable foods out, so our milk never gets the chance to warm up (plus, we buy it in gallon jugs, which have a better volume/surface area ratio). And the unpleasant flavors in milk are undetectable to me when it's cold.

So I love the stuff and drink it by the gallon.

About two thirds of the people worldwide, actually.
It's a recently evolved feature of humans to be able to consume milk as adults.
Your body is supposed to stop producing the chemistry to break up lactose in the milk after about 3 years old (like all mammals), so the milk comes in and it comes out without contributing anything.

The question was if people find it tastes disgusting. Lactose intolerance doesn't make milk taste bad, it just makes it so that you get gas and cramps and all if you drink to much of it.

Tell me about it: it being used in formulae as a symbol for density and "p" being used for pressure is a recepy for disaster in handwritten notes.

That's exactly the reason why you write your latin p accurately with the little...thingy at the top (in cases like that exaggerated) while the rho is without this.
Just like 2 and z, a little difference and you don't have problems.

Oh wait, if you have a handwriting like a doctor...

I have the handwriting of a very drunk doctor after being deprived of oxygen for some time.
My rhos are p's, my alphas are a's, my betas are B's, and my z's are most certainly 2s.

I'm now really worried: 2 months, and there's my 4th Física 1 final (Phisics I).
4th try. And from 1700 people in three years (Aeronautics, ~600/year), there are now 1450 people in the same situation.

P.S.: Am I the only one who think that Bologna Process Degrees' names are too pedantic? Ex.: Aeronautic Engineering (Tecnician/Degree) --> Aerospace Engineering Degree. And they are the same as tecnician, but 4 years instead of 3!
