Didn't see anything considerable as a life goal;
ReplyDeletecould you please give me a hint, Miss Cellania? 😅
Der Mellow, maybe the life goal was to have enough hands to do everything she's obliged to do? LoL
ReplyDeleteThat stadium has a capacity of 115,000.
In addition to the Kings box...
the main seating is 29,500 at each end = 59,000
Five levels on each side provide for 12,000 VVIP, VIP, and Hospitality guests
59,000 + 12,000 = 71,000.
59,000 + 36,000 = 95,000 if it’s 12,000 each of VV, V, and H guests.
59,000 + 60,000 = 119,000 if it’s 12,000 for each of the 5 levels.
59,000 + 112,000 = 179,000 for 12,000 in each of the 10 side levels.
I can’t figure out how they came up with 115,000.
The second lighter, the flamethrower, I had one of them.
Sorting how language affects color perception is interesting but they still don’t know what a person is seeing, only that they see the same thing each time and call it what they were taught.
The rugs I’ve seen are fantastic weaving, and that chip weave is over the top.
Actually the whole chip history was pretty cool.
