@TheModernist_CA Neither Australian Rules nor Gaelic football "mainly involve carrying the ball". Both are predominantly kicking games that impose restrictions on how far you can run with the ball.

@luke01_v @duckwheat25 Law 18.6 literally says the intent is to reward the opponent for a Legal Tackle.
However, a Legal Tackle is not sufficient by itself to be 'rewarded'.

@thamoonman_ @MeatyouAU In the original Cold War definition, Ireland was a third world country as it was neutral and unaligned.

@cosmicjester Not everyone! I'm completely indifferent to them.

@silversatyr @simonbiddle The preposition 'versus' is a real word meaning 'against', eg. Australia versus England.
The verb 'to verse' meaning 'to play against' is a mistaken back formation. People who use it sound like uneducated idiots.

@Davelatics @JakeArkwright Fly screens can be installed on any style of window. The exact method depends on the window-opening method. But retractable fly screens work on any style - inwards, outwards, sliding and double hung.

@aboutasteph I read once that about 80% of men face inwards and 80% of women face outwards. I don't remember the exact percentage, but it's 50/50 across the whole population.

@DGBeswick1 I worked for Immigration for nearly 20 years and Australian eVisa systems clearly instruct applicants what to do.
But if your home country messed up your passport, you need to enter your name as the passport records it.

[Kevin Ryan @kvnryan26]

@DGBeswick1 You don't need 2 names on passports under ICAO rules. You need to enter the Given Name in the Family Name field and leave Given Name blank for the Machine Readable Zone to work.
Sadly, many countries either don't train their staff or don't build their databases correctly.

@femmenart Have you seen the film 'À Bicyclette' ('Ride Away')?
It's about a man who, on the anniversary of his son's death, sets off to ride from France to Istanbul to recreate his son's trip.
It's a moving story about missing someone and keeping memories alive.

@DhruvB911 @RaminNasibov Why would you want to use an app when browsers exist?

@JoshMalina Why would you hate to "see" someone say something grammatically correct?

A thing can't be 'more unique', but it can be 'truly unique' or 'almost unique'.
