Look up "bimonthly pay".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Fortnightly is fine, so is biennial.

All of the other bi-timeperiod words are worthless because they mean both twice each time and every two times.

Biweekly and bimonthly each also meaning their respective reciprocals.

(Every two periods, or twice a period.)

If a technical term such as a frequency specifier has multiple incompatible meanings then it has no value and needs to stop being used entirely. Or one of the meanings chosen as correct and the others rejected forcefully (good luck with that)

The implied part is 'rich'. It isn't a guarantee.

In the US, "estates" sounds vaguely wealthy. For example, a fancy garage sale is an Estate Sale (which kinda implies a rich person died and this is their estate being liquidated.)

Why'd you have to call me out like that with those first three?

(Seriously, not keeping stuff is so difficult. It's a strain on my marriage and I wish I could just flip a switch and not feel that instinct)

I would guess a doubling period of roughly every 12-24 months. Actually probably much shorter since that would be same number of chips/year.

Helen GA is on my list. It’s modeled after a Bavarian alpine village.

Also: Leavenworth, Washington

If so it's spread north as far as Washington State, and likely others. And yeah, makes no sense at all. Bus lanes sure, but not carpool lanes on major arterials.

If you want one that isn't actually from that time, just feels like it, I'd say https://tildes.net/

Seconding Annihilation. Was going to suggest it if nobody else did.
