Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Look at a map, Europe is much further north relative to North America than you'd expect. It's got to do with the way the wind and seas move and heat travels, Europe gets extra heat that makes it relatively warm compared to similar North American latitudes.
you've seen me recently! i am a substantial being.
I am on the same latitude as a Mediterranean country

there is probably a sex joke in here somewhere
Britain is more temperate than it really should be for it's latitude because of the gulfstream.
*suicide*
London is on the same latitude as the south end of Hudson Bay. The north Atlantic current is a hell of a Thing.
Well fuck.
My world made sense minutes ago.

are you an orange flip-flopper

i cannot read this as anything other than boner.
Apparently it's pronounced bayner?

Yeah sorry about that -_-
feral best
rest of chat worst
Climate social justice.
Having a projection that maintains lines of latitude as horizontal and parallel on the 2d projection is actually useful
as soon as New York does.
When we find a newer land, obviously.

I'm pretty sure its really pronounced boner, he just wanted a semi-viable pronunciation so he wouldn't get laughed out of politics.
John Boner would've gotten the 13 year old boy vote, but unfortunately that's not a key voter demographic.
They already changed it once from New Amsterdam.
Why they changed it? I can't say.
I'm probably playing Neverwinter or SimCity right now.
New York is relative to Old York, which is like 1500 years older. The name works.
Newfoundland is relative to all found land, of which there are many that are much newer.
People just liked it better that way!
that's one of half a dozen pieces of media I use for testing all the time. It sounds hell of weird coming out of the tinny little speakers on this rig (it's like the guts of the media system in a car spread across a desk and hooked up to the worst speakers ever)
Well, it'll still be relatively new even after we inevitably settle Mars (which haters like @Feral and @Irond Will are trying to stop).
Lastyears Foundland, imo. Like, it's in that weird intermediary phase where it doesn't played on the radio anymore, but it still isn't "an oldie." It also can't be on the 'twenty-teens' playlist because we're only 3 years into it.

A couple of them suffer from the clever movie reference issue but the artist put some effort in beyond drawing a simple shape and putting paper texture over all of it.
Because of the awesome and totally not 'hey look at all this navy I got shame if I'd have to shoot your boats with it' trade which ended up with the Netherlands getting Suriname.
Home of the seldom seen now democratically elected President that first came to power 30 years ago in a bloody coup and has an interpol warrant against him for drug trafficking.
If you're a sailor maybe! Peters projection is stupid though. Hyperelliptical, uh... wikipedia... Mollweide, Eckert IV... these are fine.
But Mt Everest is directly east (or west) of me.
