Different defeserated instances, problems with content being federated due to network latency. There are a bunch of possible reasons.
As I understand it, it’s a single item of a cheesy corn snack. So there apparently exists a snack called “Cheese Puffs”, which are corn-based with powdered cheese covering them. Where I live, Cheezels and Twisties would probably be the closest equivalents.
The “unit” refers to having just one of them. One twisty or one cheezel, or one puff.
when he plays that flute in a later episode
I got teary just now reading the quote from that scene:
“What kind of flute is that?”
“It’s, ah…Ressikan.”
“I’ve never seen one before.”
“They’re not made anymore.”
Olive oil is a deeply important cultural touchstone for Palestinians, according to a post I saw a day or two ago.
Basically the plot of The Inner Light, one of the best episodes of television ever made. (That was sadly undermined by the need for a complete reset per the usual rules of episodic television of the time.)
I’m mostly interested in these “navel ships”
You ever heard of “belly-button shots”? Well a navel ship is what you get if you float a tiny boat on one.

I Qld they introduced laws “banning” no grounds evictions. But here one of the “grounds” is “end of lease”. Which has simply meant that every lease is accompanied by an automatic eviction notice, which will be rescinded upon re-signing a new lease. Completely undermines the government’s efforts.
Oh yes, that makes sense. I have heard of that.

Only got purple based on what was left over after I had everything else.
Loved the film set distractor.
I worked out Ikea and the American stores Best Buy & Staples, but no idea what Kroner is meant to be.

Either there’s a bug in their software or I must have just misclicked for my 2nd guess. Because based on what I thought I guessed, it should have been 3 purple
Because I had solved what the yellow category was, but had 5 entries in it, as well as knowing what was in blue and green. So I intended to answer with the 3 left over + one from the 5 “pristine condition” answers. And when I didn’t get a “One away” notice I then started to completely rethink what I had.
How I feel is the CIA overthrew a left-leaning democratic government in my country because it threatened to close down a CIA base. That’s not tanky.
Wow. Unnecessary and rude. That’s a great contribution to the conversation.
Gonna be honest, I only vaguely recognise the name Patrick Swayze without knowing exactly what he’s famous for. An actor, I think? And I have zero idea who Paul Walker is. Anomalocarus I gather from context is an extinct animal of some sort, which is cool, but I lack the knowledge to know precisely why this specific species is highly valuable.
So Robin Williams gets my vote almost by default, even if I didn’t have more reason to choose him beyond that.
