If the Roman Empire had persisted until the modern supercarrier, what might their designation be for "carrier air wing"?
 
Assuming that the Latin for aircraft would be something like 'aereus' (Italian is aereo), 'aircraft carrier' would probably be aereofer, so 'aerala aeroferis'? (Ala is a 'wing' of cavalry as well as of a bird, so would probably be used the same, as 'aero ala' > aerala so that it isn't a bird's wing that carries aircraft)
 
Is a seat from a regular bicycle attachable to a stationary exercise bike?

If it is, yes. If it is not, then no.

Some may be compatible. If your stationary bike does not allow another seat, then no. Where there is a will there is a way, and bikes are not yet rocket science.

That sounds pretty good. Thanks for the answer. :)
 
Just for fun. I remember a Civ V game as the Romans where I did some severe damage with one Carrier filled with Jet Fighters. I wonder what I could have named those distinguished flyers.
 
I know that when Avatar (the James Cameron one), a lot of people became depressed over how wonderful the world of that movie was so awesome compared to the misery that is Earth, which is sometimes called "avatar depression."

My question is, are there any cases where avatar depression drives a person to actually committing suicide?
 
It would be better if you just freaking give me a real answer instead of trying to be a smart-alec by telling me to google it. :rolleyes:
 
Do you really think that we're better than google for that question?
Yes. Google almost NEVER gets me what I'm looking for.
This thread needs a warning label: "Not a substitute for googling stuff".
Being told to "google it" is one of my biggest Internet pet peeves. :mad:

I have no tolerance for such douchebaggery. :mad:

So how did Google not show you examples of people committing suicide over bring depressed that Earth isn't as lovely as Pandora?
 
Is there a specific term for symmetrical acne or is it simply a coincidence?

It only showed articles that said people were just THINKING of suicide.

I did not find one result stating that someone actually DID commit suicide due to avatar depression.

Then in all likelihood, it never happened or went unreported then. I affirmed because my memories of "Avatar depression" and this somehow got crossed. I apologize. The movie came out like, two years ago, man.

I think that's just called "depression", and this particular case happened to manifest as a fixation on Pandora. No-one in good emotional health becomes depressed just because of this, so it's unlikely that anyone in a position to certify a suicide as being caused by depression would attribute that depression solely or even primarily to Avatar, so you're very unlikely to find any statistics that would take it into account.

Wait, but why would the posters here know more about such incidents than a site that scans the entirety of the web in a few seconds? And it is not Google's fault that you wanted the news to be true.
