You don't have a language; you have a throat disease (according to Germans).

Why do Romania and Chad have the same flag?
-
The flags of Romania and Chad are nearly identical, the only difference being that Romania defines the colors used more narrowly than Chad, resulting in slight variations in shading.
Well, at least it's not purple.

They're a single nation-state-person with two residences. Their full name is Chad Romania.

Has Kanye been to Kenya?

If I had dealings with him and I ever caught him being negative about something I'd definitely say "O Ye of little faith". Among a lot of other similar puns.

@Zecc Can ye do more of these puns?

Apparently no. There were only those two somehow. Maybe some tinned cocaine will help me come up with another.

Can Ye believe it?
(Answer: yes.)

Random thought: I wonder if Microsoft Windows version 11 will ever achieve the stability and longevity of X Windows version 11, which has been in use for 38 years, since 1987. The current stable release, R7.7, has been around for 10.5 years.

@HardwareGeek I wonder if there's some splitting to be had on whether "I wonder if" constitutes an indirect question.

I approve, as long don't mean literal splitting. Ouch.

I finally googled that and found
Can Joe Biden restore the soul of a divided nation?
Well, no, clearly not. Nations don’t have souls, even the most collectivist of religions insists that only human beings do.
A wild @HardwareGeek has been found.

Why do Romania and Chad have the same flag?
says:
As is the case with the majority of African nations, the flag of Chad (a former French colony) is based on the French tricolor. Initially, however, the authorities aimed at devising a flag that would combine the tricolor configuration with the colors of the Pan-African movement (red, black, green). Therefore, they decided to adopt the colors used in the flag of Ethiopia, a country which personified the values of pride and concord among the African nations at the time. Ultimately, though, Chad’s authorities swapped the green stripe with a blue one, as the flag would otherwise look identical to the flag of Mali (adopted in 1961). That decision seemed somewhat rational, since it would be preferable for Chad’s flag to be occasionally mixed up with that of a European country than that of a neighboring one!
Mali's flag looks like , as you'd expect from reading the above.

"To be or not to be, that's the question" - that is the way we use to quote William who Shaketh the Pear.
But is that right?
No, not at all.
Actually, William wanted to complain about his senile bladder which used to annoy him during nighttime.
The correct version is:
"To pee or not to pee, that's the question".

Monaco and Indonesia too.

The correct version is:
"To pee or not to pee, that's the question".The answer is, yes.
FWIW, there's nothing wrong with my bladder, but because of the kidney stone I had a few months ago, I have to drink a lot of water. And what goes in must come out.

Are the original Enterprise's instruments useless because they output to LiteBrite panels or do they use LiteBrite panels because the instruments are useless?
You could make a drinking game out of every time Spock answers a question with "unknown, Captain."

Spock's a strict Korbzybskian.

Children are a result of two people fucking. So technically speaking, all children are "fucked up".

Except test tube babies.

@Zerosquare they're fucked up in their own way.

@Zerosquare alternative joke: no fucks given.

They're fucked on the inside?

Well. Consider fish. They tend to release gametes for external combination. Meaning their fucking happens outside, in a locus modeled by a probability space of (discrete) gamete location projected onto a real space of water.
Meaning, if you've ever been in the ocean, you've had sex with fish.

Not unless you've released gametes of your own. The fish, however, have had sex with you.

RTotD (arrived upon after a busy weekend):
One thing DIY, cooking and have in common is that even though there are various tools you can get to do the job, you will end up using your fingers at one point or another. There's simply no better tool.
Also you will get hurt, no matter how careful you are.

I was wondering what kind of DIY requires using your mouth/tongue, but then I remembered some people bite their nails.

This weekend was mostly plastering, so no, not much tongue/mouth. Bleh.
