What the hell are you talking about?

LineageOS is well past it’s peak days but they support a ton of devices beyond Pixel.

Oh we have really good care, if you can pay for it.

It did that for me on Windows 11, had to go back to 10 and it works fine. It’s literally the only thing I ever use Windows for.

Just not being obese is generally a huge factor

Good riddance to burggit. Manny legitimate complaints but absolutely good riddance.

First one, then the other.

Well just keep bringing me your loads and I’ll uh… yeah what I mean to say is thanks.

I’m a truck driver, well nowadays more in the office than behind the wheel but I do still pull loads here and there.

There’s also coral safe sunscreen, mineral based.

OCULAR TORSION

Actually, they’ve been getting thicker every year since the 6, believe it or not.

Android can do satellite messaging? Android phone makers are shipping on device LLMs?

I’m not an Apple fanboy nor do I use an iPhone currently but this headline is ridiculous.

What the submarine or the Russian ships?

Either way that seems like an extraordinarily bad idea.

I mean you have a point but I still think a language with very different grammar but similar vocabulary is going to be miles easier than one with similar grammar but a small shared vocabulary.

And in my experience learning Spanish through basically just listening to it (a bit oversimplified, but I never have studied grammar nor have been explicitly taught vocab nor had translation) I picked up on the meaning through words way before I had any confidence in grammar. Of course I was getting a feel for the grammar the whole way little by little though.

Sure but IMO understanding a language is a bigger and more important part of language learning than speaking. Being able to understand far, far, better than you can speak is very common among language learners. You need a foundation to draw upon before you can really effectively speak. And by then you’ll usually have gotten at least the very basics of the grammar down.

I’m just going by the FSI rankings. Romance languages are “Category 1” necessitating 600-750 class hours. German is “Category 2” needing 900 hours.

I think vocabulary is more important anyhow, if you know the words you can piece together the meaning even if it’s in a strange order. If you don’t, the order doesn’t really matter at all.

Fun fact, despite being more closely related, German is considered somewhat harder to learn for English speakers than Romance languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian). Due to historical events, conquests, migration, etc, more than half of our vocabulary derives from Latin (and a good chunk of that is from French).

Those are of different language trees and are unrelated, though some researchers have tried to claim that Chinese and other Asiatic languages share a common ancestor with these, it’s not widely accepted and nearly impossible to prove.

But Communists would fully agree here, as they do on many things with Anarchists

Oh yeah in DC one pulled an app with a QR code I could scan to pay them with
