I’d guess pilot goggles rather than VR

No, not quite. Cargo cults didn’t worship the vehicles, rather the notion of the abundance that they brought. The famous Melanesian ones in WWII happened in societies in which gift-giving was already the key to social power; when WWII came along, both the Japanese and Allied forces brought unbelievable quantities of supplies to the islands and then also intentionally handed out a lot of stuff in order to play into that social practice. It was enough that some locals interpreted it as a sign that they could return to their old ways that had been suppressed under Christian colonial rule, the first signs of a coming new age of prosperity

Anyway all that is to say that no, uncontacted tribes can’t have cargo cults because part of the formation of a cargo cult involves contact

Wikipedia has a couple of them! Sigourney Thayer was an American theatre producer born 1896, Sigourney Trask was an American missionary born 1849, and Sigourney Bandjar is a Surinamese footballer born 1984

I haven’t played Fortnite so I might be missing something, but glancing at screenshots and promotional stuff it looks like they’re consistently using white on red instead of red on white

It is, genuinely, in the Geneva Conventions that nobody should use the red cross except for to designate medical staff and establishments that are protected under the conventions. The idea is to make sure that there is absolutely never any doubt that that symbol means anything else in order to minimise the risk to those people

The sand which Sam the Witch panned for riches on the strand which spans, to wit, from headland to ridge

To be fair those dwarves really could do with this Karl as well

I do not need any food whatsoever right now but I could still absolutely demolish a Moroccan feast

Where do you normally get your recipes? I have a small book of tagines but haven’t figured out a good reliable place to look otherwise

I don’t know, I’m afraid. As I understand it, the base ten positional numbering system we use in most of the world (as in, the value of each individual digit is multiplied by ten a number of times based on its position in the number) originated in northern India, but the writing of the people that developed it did not use a lot of punctuation. The modern comma comes from Europe and I’m fairly sure that the idea of a thousands separator comes from Europeans trying to write big numbers in Roman numerals. Based on that I would assume that the British colonial period introduced the idea of using a comma as a thousands separator to India. However, while Europeans were used to thinking in thousands and millions, Indians were habitually thinking in lakhs and crores, so I assume they adjusted the commas to suit that. Since the separators are literally only there to make it easier to read and do not affect any of the maths you can do with it, I don’t imagine Indians would have much reason to change their system

It’s groups of two except for that the three numbers left of the decimal point are in a group of three. So 1,00,00,000 rather than 10,000,000, for example. 1,00,00,000 is a crore, 1,00,000 is a lakh

Presumably because it’s Amazon doing it. It is quite reasonable to have a general level of distaste and suspicion for tha company

This is probably a lot heavier on the technical grammar than you need, but here is the relevant wikipedia page if you want it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_pronoun

Basically English (along with other Germanic languages and a whole bunch of others) doesn’t like having a verb by itself without something to do the verb, so we just put “it” in as a sort of placeholder. The “it” isn’t anything, but the grammar wants there to be something there

With all due respect my dude I think you’re just using the asparagus as an edible spoon for hollandaise there. And I like asparagus

I still absolutely love playing guitar. I’m not great, but if the younger me from back when I started could see how good I am now he’d be over the moon. Every so often I wind up listening to one of the songs that I really wanted to be able to play back when I started, and now it feels brilliant that I can actually just sit down and do that now

I also became keen on modding games (strategy games in particular, starting with Rome: Total War) quite early. I never learned enough programming to be really good at it, but I still do it pretty regularly just to make things for me and my friends. I take great joy in leaving easter eggs in there and waiting for them to find them

I’m fairly certain I would still get the same thrill from mountain biking as I used to, but I can’t really find out. My only bike now has road tyres and I am too out of practice and unfit to fly and up and down a hillside, and I also don’t have anyone to go with (important in case of injuries). However every time I have a downhill section of road on my bike or I see some mountain bikers out while I’m walking hills I get that deep urge to barrel along a trail as fast as my bravery will permit

I haven’t played the remaster so I can’t guarantee this will work, depending on what has changed, but ironically levelling up more might be the solution you need here. If the level scaling is still as completely fucked as it was in the original, the enemies should get stronger pretty quick. If you only level non-combat stuff they should get to a point that you find appropriate

On the one hand, the quantity probably isn’t significantly dangerous. On the other, OPs mindset seems to be. If they cannot control their drinking then that’s a problem, regardless of how much they actually end up drinking

If you’re able to, get the version with the all the DLC. I think I paid £5 for that vs £3 for just the base game. The extra stuff is well worth getting

I’m afraid not. “Rally” is just the generic term for this kind of motorsport

Couldn’t tell you I’m afraid, I also haven’t bought it. I grabbed DR2 because I saw it really cheap on sale and just wanted a rally sim rather than seeking out a specific one

Well count me interested. I could really go for a version of Dirt Rally 2 with more multiplayer versatility
