Serious answer: the Viking settlers named the land "Vinland" long before Columbus was even born. That name is of Germanic origin, same as the English language, and would be appropriate for settlers of Germanic origin (England, Germany, etc.)

Alternatively, a name in ~~the~~ a Native American language would be most appropriate given that they were the original inhabitants of the land.

!"No you're not," he said from behind my closet door, "nobody will ever come between us again."!<

Note: if you accidentally do this, do not hang up. Calmly tell the operator it was ~~an accident~~ a mistake. Hanging up will send your info to them and they will call back to make sure there isn't an emergency.

Source: I did this exact thing when my phone lagged out during a reboot.

It's exactly what you thought you voted for. (They wouldn't admit that they're wrong though)

Too many people are already screaming "fluoride = autism" I think they would just go even more insane.

Sometimes I wonder if he would actually be a good choice, considering he doesn't have a history in politics. And then I remember how Trump just kinda decided he was gonna be president with no political background.

Association of German National Jews on Wikipedia

A reason why some German Jews supported Hitler was that they thought that his anti-Semitism was only for "stirring up the masses".

Sandwich with essence-of-pickle.

 

Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.
