I think the speak is using "folly" the mean "idiocy" or "madness," which is not strictly correct, but I've heard other native speakers use "folly" in this way. Native speakers, of course, do not always speak only in ways that are strictly correct.

Three point one four one five nine. Ten point six nine. Ten point two four percent.

The reflexive pronoun is used when the object and the subject of the sentence are one and the same: - Ghazal pours a tea for herself. - He wants more time for himself. - That poor guy finally did something nice for himself. - You go right ahead and make yourself at home. (Note: "Make yourself at home" is a common expression spoken by a host to a guest, inviting them to relax and take their coat off, have a seat, etc. - Come in. I have to put a few things away in the kitchen; but please, go on into the living room and make yourself at home.) The reflexive pronoun can also be used for emphasis: I myself baked this cake. (No one helped me do it.) Ned closed the shop himself last night. (Usually he has am employee do it.) I hope this helps. Please ask me if anything is still unclear. :)

They mean almost exactly the same thing. It's more a matter of nuance than straight-forward definition, but there are a couple of situations where the phrases might not be be fully interchangeable: - If you had worked as a server in the same restaurant for a long time, but then one day you went there to eat: the restaurant might feel like somewhere that you belonged, while you might feel out of place sitting and ordering instead of standing and waiting on the table. - OTOH, if you were an home appliance repairman who got called to neighborhood that was unfamiliar to you and seemed hostile towards your being there: you might be comfortable with your role/place as someone who had been invited there to perform a service for one of the residents, while still feeling that you did not belong in that neighborhood.

It means "make (someone who would stop at nothing) balk." It's an obsolete expression, based on a old European stereotype of Turks as lawless bloodthirsty warriors - people who would not balk at anything. (Edited to add: This expression is obsolete and very obscure, because it is derogatory to Turks. The behavior of Turkish warriors during any of the multiple wars between Turkey and various European countries through history may have been seen as ruthless and bloodthirsty; but, in reality, the average Turkish person is no more ruthless or bloodthirsty than the average person anywhere.)

(edited to remove answer that was wrong :o ) Note: "bad bread" isn't a phrase I've heard before. The store owner could have been selling stale bread, spoiled bread, bread that tastes bad, bread that was badly baked, bad quality bread, or maybe bread that Mom just really very strongly disliked.
