If my boss has a thick accent doesn't that mean it's hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers? Obviously it's not hard to pronounce English words if you have a good English accent.
Spanish doesn't have the /ks/ consonant cluster, does it? like the 'c' in "acelerar" is pronounced like /s/, not /ks/ like in English "accelerate" right? I can't think of any words with /ks/, anyway. Consonant clusters are often hard if you didn't grow up speaking them. Plus the /ks/ in Latinx is final, and final consonant clusters are extra tricky, especially since Spanish words mostly end with vowel (+ {s,r,n}). So I assumed it'd be tricky for Spanish speakers, the way that initial 's' is (this I know firsthand, since my boss always pronounces "stress" as "estrés" even though he's very fluent in English.)
Maybe it's gotten easier now that most kids grow up studying English? Idk, I'm really surprised to hear it's easy to pronounce.
I agree, but the hard part is how. Splitting up Germany required winning a World War. The next World War will be nuclear. Mass starvation from nuclear winter will result in the death of the vast majority of humans. That's too horrible a price to pay.
I really don't get how so many people find Python "ergonomic." kwargs and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race. they break type hinting and intellisense, and there's all kinds of proxy class shenanigans that all the libraries use. matplotlib is a horrible experience because there's just a kitchen sink of options, and it's hard to dynamically update plots. if there were a TypeScript-like dialect of Python I wouldn't have problems, but Python's type hinting is absolutely wretched.
imagine how hot those brake pads were, converting that much momentum directly into heat in a flash. glad they didn't bump into each other, since even a minor crash could turn into an inferno if leaking jet fuel contacts brakes that hot.
the content is better than I remember, having watched the video you linked. I guess I'm just cranky about the particular way that thumbnails and video titles have converged on YouTube.
eh, he's okay. he puts out a lot of slop content like "REAL LAWYER reacts to $MOVIE" and "r/LegalAdvice DISASTERS!" with those annoyingly exaggerated YouTuber faces. I guess you have to play to the Algorithm, but slop is slop.
I like Liz Dye's legal analysis when she appears on his channel to discuss current events, but I wish I could just watch her directly, rather than suffering through LegalEagle's bombastic and superficial framing to pump up viewer engagement.
my unpopular opinion: homeless encampments in the US are a result of housing becoming unaffordable.
I'm not saying most people ended up in tent cities because they couldn't afford rent. usually people will sleep in their cars, find a spot in a shelter if one's available, crash with relatives etc. at least here (Seattle) most of those who live in big tent cities are homeless because of mental illness: drug addiction and/or psychosis.
but serious addiction isn't new. where did addicts live in the '80s? crack houses! before real estate turned into gold, there was plenty of mold-infested, aabestos-ridden, lead-painted substandard housing left abandoned or rented cheaply by slumlords. junkies could sleep there.
now, most of those buildings have been torn down and luxury condos rebuilt in their place, at least in the big cities.
I'm not pro-crack den. the old buildings were health hazards. but junkies can't afford the upscale housing that replaced them. they can barely afford tents.
JD Vance is Catholic. he converted right around the time his political ambitions deepend. Leonard Leo (Federalist Society president) is Catholic, as are most of FedSoc leadership. Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh are Catholic.
the deep power in the RNC is very conservative Catholic.
it was coca cola mixed with coffee. sweetened both with high fructose corn syrup, and two artificial sweeteners, simultaneously. I still remember the aftertaste.. it's not something you forget.
your cat lets you do that?!
