It depends upon the definition of "on", I suppose.

If jumping or falling count as not being "on" earth, the fact is not true since there is (a) almost no chance with so many people that one person (probably a child) somewhere wasn't jumping or falling and (b) we can't definitively prove things one way or the other with regard to (a).

If we do say "OK, human-body-powered times not in contact with earth don't count" (assuming the human is responsible here for cases where they fall, for simplicity), we would have to move on to vehicles. Driving a vehicle that contacts the ground seems pretty "on earth". I suppose boats would as well. What about planes, thought? They're definitely "in the air" when they're not "on the ground" (I'm sticking with English here since the post is in English; we could open another can of ~~words~~ worms for other languages).

So next we have to say "things flying in the atmosphere don't count" then we have to either define atmosphere or define an arbitrary line of Xkm above the average surface of earth. In the case of the former, how much atmosphere counts as atmosphere?

I guess we could move on to gravity well after that.

I have some Shoes for Crews boots I bought back in roughly 2001-2. They're a little less waterproof higher up now due to some cracking (probably because they sat in a hot storage unit for a while), but I still frequently wear them today when working outside.

they call it a continental breakfast like it's supposed to be fancy

They call it continental because it's in the style of what is served on the (European) continent.

I think it depends on the background. If coming from the computer gaming world, it wasn't necessarily all that impressive. If someone were particularly into Zelda or was console-only, I think it was probably seen as much better.

This was in Tokyo, but the owner travelled a lot and quite probably had them in either Australia or Thailand.

I am pretty sure they were sentient, rotting fish guts.

This is a mod not a Bethesda game.

Edit: though, to be clear, I agree on the rest about 76 and all the bait and switch. I was a paying ESO customer when all that happened and unsubbed and uninstalled as a result.

I could but it might freak the cats out (I am an overseas voter and vote by mail).

A place I used to go had sour cream and chili sauce fries on the menu.

Next Monday, the 15th, is Marine Day and a public holiday here in Japan, so that's nice.
