Aha. See, that explains the disconnect. Thank you.

I'm not... correcting you, I'm just explaining that I never hear anyone pronouncing tour such that it rhymes with either pronunciation of sewer.

Drainage system = soo-er
Person who sews = soh-er
Exploring a place, with or without a guide = tohr

That's typically how I hear those pronounced. Idk, I get the sense that some think I'm trying to correct the OP when I'm just trying to figure out how the hell something is pronounced.

Whoa what? I've never heard anyone pronounce tour as tu-er. At that point you might as well slap an umlaut on that bad boy

I've never heard anyone pronounce "tour" as rhymes with "sewer" in English. Perhaps in other languages?

Bore rhymes with tour.. no?

Representation in media but not for the money. If you happen to get more sales from it, great. But doing a 180 in response to backlash means that they don't really care - they just want more money.

To a certain kind of person, saying they're wrong is a personal attack.

Don't be ridiculous. It called one of its contractor friends to install the pipe for them.

I swear to God, Donald has probably unironically said to Barron, "You OWE me."

What a book.

Sure wish it didn't use Bluetooth. That's kind of the extent of my thoughts on it.

https://aeroinsta.com/ I've used Instander and Aero and they're pretty comparable, albeit Aero is a little more opaque with the developer settings.

The problem is that fandom tends to vacuum up and supersede the smaller wikis, and the SEO bullshit just makes it happen even faster. The answer to your question unfortunately is "it depends on the game/show/fandom".

I think they were saying that redheads have a higher tolerance to anesthetics, not pain

AWS was kind enough to cancel my S3 bill. However, they emphasized that this was done as an exception.

Dicks.

PodcastAddict is the way, but only if you're tolerant/patient with nerd knobs. I know a lot of people get turned off by those.
