How exactly does that prevent spam, vs just using other existing established verification methods like email validation? If the only goal is preventing spam, its overkill, and other web sites who also have to contend with spam don’t use it.

It's trivial to create new accounts and emails to verify those accounts. It is not trivial to get a new phone number since virtual numbers are blocked by the verification process.

There exists other words that start with gi but use the soft g, gin for example. But regardless, the pronunciation of one word is not determined by the pronunciation of other unrelated words.

Neither have sauce in them, they are more akin to a calzone

A driver that doesn't know the standard road signs and road laws is more dangerous. Stopping in the middle of the road to figure out what a common sign means isn't being careful, it's being a bad driver and making the road more dangerous for everyone else.

The thing is, you're not putting a dissertation on one of these signs. You're already supposed to yield on a solid green if you're turning left without a green arrow, that's already the law. This sign is a reminder for the stupid people about something they're already supposed to do, not allow someone who's never driven in their life to learn the laws as they go.

You're ignoring the giant green circle on the sign, which means you yield on green solid, not green arrow. Green arrows give you right of way. If you're in the US and drive, please learn the road signs

That's not what the definition said, realise is just the British spelling. If you re-read the definition in your screenshot, it says both realizes and realises are 3rd person present

there's an entire wikipedia article for this that makes it super easy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirated_movie_release_types

Honestly I just picked it here because I thought it'd look nice giving a big hit of green color and gives a good texture addition since everything else is pretty soft, this adds some crunch to the dish. For me there's no vegetable that really stands out to me where I will look forward to it, except maybe roast potatoes lol

I believe in China red/green meaning is reversed for things like this, where red means positive/good and green means negative/bad
