You’re right, I had it backwards. Hydrostatic equilibrium makes it that the combined force vector of gravity and the centrifugal force is perpendicular to the planet surface everywhere.

This. Planets are in hydrostatic equilibrium, meaning that the combined acceleration by gravity and the centrifugal “force” is equal all over the world (except for local differences due to mountains and dense crust).

The Russian й (e.g. the last letter in the name Sergei) is a semivowel, the only one in the Russian alphabet.

As someone from not America, I hope you don’t elect Trump, and we all move away from this authoritarian movement. One can only hope.

I just don’t understand it. I once watched a video of his out of curiosity, as he had the largest YouTube channel, and I just don’t get it. Our country’s TV channel for children is more interesting.

In Flanders (at least where I’m at) we usually say I grec, but when doing math or reciting the alphabet, we say IJ.

English can apparently be difficult when drunk.
