"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity. It has been discussed in literature in various forms since 1967, when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought. The sentence employs three distinct meanings of the word buffalo:

  • As an attributive noun (acting as an adjective) to refer to a specific place named Buffalo, such as the city of Buffalo, New York;
  • As the verb to buffalo, meaning (in American English[1][2]) "to bully, harass, or intimidate" or "to baffle"; and
  • As a noun to refer to the animal (either the true buffalo or the bison). The plural is also buffalo.

A semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: "Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison."

Can someone catch me up here, please? The last I read, fracking was typically seen as an environmentally unfriendly process because you break up a bunch of underlying rock, pump out the crude, and replace it with water. It destabilizes the area and leads to shit like small earthquakes. So like, drilling down, releasing a bunch of heat/pressure, and flooding the system with a bunch of water without caring about the oil is supposed to be a safer thing to do? What gives?

I've been playing No Man's Sky since they released the 5.0 content update. It's made a huge difference in the look and feel of the game with things like modeled weather and oceans, and I've recently learned that sentinel attacks stop after you blow up the freighter they warp in.

Canada: truly a pioneer in a fun night out. 👍🏼

 

I just started playing Curse for the first time the other night, and the gameplay/mechanics have been so much fun. I've tried claws, machete, pistol, and whip so far, but I'd love to hear about which weapon combos or full builds you found the most fun! What all did you like about them?
