I think it’s because writers take care to make the pronunciation guessable form the spelling. English is infamous for it’s very inconsistent writing rules, however there are “rules”. More like heuristics, but usually it’s possible to write a word in such a way that others can guess the pronunciation, unless that specific word already has an accepted official spelling that is different.
“Nobody goes there, it’s too crowded”
Some people are into extreme sports. Driving in Paris can definitely be classified as such
Those trains sure look dodgy, in a post-apocalyptic kind of way. Sometimes people jump to conclusions that it must be full of crime
I don’t have an alternative. If i die I will stop existing. And despite all the pain I’m living through it’s all caused by the desire to live.
It’s sometimes superficially tempting but dying would not solve any of my problems. You can’t solve wrong choices in life by stopping to exist. It’s just logically contradictory.
CBD does … something. It makes me sleepy. So at least for some people it can serve as a sleep aid.
Not to me though I just tried it out of curiosity, I have no desire to be even more sleepy
Not wanting to learn or not wanting to drive?
Knowing how to drive is a useful skill that can come in handy (vacations, emergency) even if you don’t do it regularly.
Refusing to drive daily - absolutely, for political, social and economic end ecological reasons. Everyone living in range of an acceptable public transport should refuse to drive. And those who are not should not stop pressuring and voting local politicians to implement one. It’s 2024, there’s no reason to depend on cars for everyday transportation.
Oh I feel this so much. There’s a range of jobs and environments where I do really really well. But the way most organizations are structured I can never find a place where my strengths are desirable in the long term.
And selling myself is not one of my strengths.
Bought - it’s been 15 years at least.
Got one for free and used it actively - last month. Tourist organizations in many cities still give away simple paper maps of city center with major sights (and some advertising).
There’s only so much content you can milk out of a single franchise. After a while it becomes tired and repetitive, or strays in bad direction. Very few franchises continue for so long for a reason.
Unless Ubisoft is trying to create Coronation Street equivalent of video games.
Stormtrooper misses wildly, the bolt bounces on a reflective surface and then hits a rope holding a piano suspended above the redshirt.
Dating.
I don’t see the point to it, faking that you like someone so your friends and family approve.
Drop accounting and commercial transaction documents. Invoices, receipts, shipping declarations, etc… Sure it could be interesting to future archeologists but it makes the huge majority of all documents generated by humanity. We still have millions of untranslated accounting docs from ancient Mesopotàmia. It not really that useful.
Content published in less than 1000 copies, or read/watched less than 1000 times if online. Fanfiction, self published books and so on. Again it’s a loss for a couple of niche future historians. You drop a significant % of storage, but even minor works representing our society remain.
I really don’t get the Nazi belief system.
According to their own philosophy they should be willingly serving the superior race - Jews
Good luck connecting to each of the 36 pods and grepping the file over and over again
According to this, it started as a full outage, but by now Bing itself is mostly fixed only leaving the the API down. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/23/24163094/microsoft-bing-search-outage-copilot-duckduckgo-chatgpt
DDG and Ecosia both use Bing as a provider for some of their results.
Something is currently broken on the side of Bing, and none of the search engines that use it as a source is able to get any results.
Let me guess, you’re an American who has never been outside of the USA, never read anything about other countries, and believes 'Murica is the greatest one forever and only one that matters (even in evil)
Make him watch early Joe Rogan content. Back when he actually had an open mind and interesting guests.
Is water cooling for PC gaming still a thing? It’s been 10+ years since I followed any trends.
