If it consoles you, I can explain the reason for that one.
They both come from the verb restaurer (to restore). Restaurant being the present participle in this case. In French, “ant” is equivalent to the English suffix “ing”.
And restaurateur is “one who restores”.
I meant English dialects.
I dunno if it’s the weirdest but “pronunciation” is pretty weird.
Why is it “pronUnciation” but “pronOUnce”?
Is this universal or are there places where they pronounce it closer to its spelling?
The depth of the stupidity of that is incredible to me.
You even get invaded by NPCs with “forbidden words” in their names. Checking whether you own game violates your criteria should be sanity check number one.
Invaded by Recusant Tanith’s Knight! -> works, it’s an NPC
Invaded by Recusant Dark K***ht Richter! -> Ugh.
And since those people keep their names like that, presumably they can’t even tell that their name is being ruined by the game. An extra layer of stupidity.
At least with stupid chat moderation, you can see your messages, so you know how your messages are being ruined and you can adapt to it.
You know, it’s not always, but apple does sell things that are price-competitive with similarly performing competing products.
Some iterations of the Mac Mini have been hard to beat with a tiny PC with similar performance.
The M1 MacBooks had some surprisingly cheap options for the relatively premium laptops they were.
Samsung’s Ultra phones tend to cost more or less the same as the Apple Pro Max phones.
The main difference is sometimes just that Apple doesn’t make low-end or low-mid-range, or sometimes not even anything below “relatively high-end”, products in a particular category.
There can be a lot of reasons for that, but too much internet wouldn’t be my first idea. Histrionic tendencies, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, etc.
Elden Ring. Welp, at least I guess i revive on death now?
Ghost. Flying, intangibility, spooky telekinesis … Sounds great.
I don’t get it. Can someone help?
Be morally better than average. If you justify being bad by saying everyone else is doing it, you’re not helping the downward spiral. Because bad people and people with no choice make things worse on average.

Couple is used to refer to two things, but is also often used for a small number greater than two.
by the 1500s, it was also being used in the phrase a couple of to refer to an indefinite but still small number of people or things
Verdict: couple is used of small numbers most of the time, but usually at least two or more.
So yeah, the meaning of “at least two but possibly a bit more than that” has been around for a loooooong time.
Doesn’t that exclude 2?
I’d guess OnePlus. Been a while since I bought my current Samsung, but I miss their better interface and battery saving often.
Though it truly is a shame that they started putting the fingerprint sensors under the screen, too. The meh sensor on the Samsung is possibly my biggest irritant. But reportedly at least the OnePlus one is better.
Oh yeah. My fridge is in the corner, and my kitchen isn’t that large. Swapping the door would make it nearly impossible to use.
Not really on topic but wait just a gosh darn second.
This person is playing and reviewing (what might be called) the prettiest, most demanding game ever made, and they’re doing it on a Steam Deck, on Low?
But still, the visuals are the main thing they praise about it?
I’m a bit surprised? Confused? Anyway that’s a little weird.
Huh. I would’ve never guessed! Maybe that distinction doesn’t exist in French, which might explain why I’ve never heard of that before? Interesting!
Aw come on, those are two very different meanings of the word in my book. As it happens, the couple of eggs I took out of the fridge aren’t in a romantic relationship.
I’d create an actual god with morals of absolute good that rules over humans with an iron fist. Political debates? There’s an objective answer and the god knows it. Do something wrong? Get warned. Do something very wrong? It’s brainwash time.
