Re: Unfortunate apartment name

South China Morning Post says the death toll has reached 75 by now, 70 in hospital, and many missing - one article spoke of 279 missing people. There are also mentions of the contractor having prior safety violations. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3334292/44-dead-279-missing-h...

Re: New Stargate show in the works

the jafar were pretty bad shots unless they were "good" jafar.....but accountin how cumbersome those firing sticks they had were.... stormtroopers still are the worst ever by far. sterling SMG lasers should be far better than that.

Re: Rideable Pigs

poor eyesight and lack of neck (to have vantage point for the head) could be major issues even if they were genetically scaleable to a x2 or x3 etc. In that getting the proper temperament and confidence feedback loop in that role that horses (and elephants to some degree) enjoy.

Re: Gendered languages question

Off the bat, I would say "on" (one) probably easiest existing one to use if one doesnt want to use il or elle....it gets conjugated same way and doesn't imply any gender..it is a broad pronoun though and probably sounds weird since it often carries plural collective meaning like they/we et...

Re: Kailasa Temple at Ellora – The Shrine Carved from a Single Rock

At ajanta/ellora (having been there), I would say direct hewing would be easier, there isn't much easy logistics and flat land to lug hewn rock and deploy (for this size of complex anyway). Think lot of hills and river valleys etc since they are mountain ranges in the end. I guess that kind of thing...
