I’ve had to train my ear because I learned to speak spanish so I notice these things with my friends who are learning english.

The one that broke my mind the other day is that the D in drink is pronounced like a J. My friend was practicing his D sounds and came up with that out of the blue.

Sit close to me vs close the door

Even the second one isn’t pronounced the same. Some accents drop the th sound in clothes which is why they can sound similar.

Having to explain to my spanish speaking friends why an english word is spelled one way but pronounced another entirely different way gave me the same experience. So many times i have to tell them: “i don’t know english is just weird.”

This is correct but also glass blocks both ends of the spectrum. Really just visible light goes through glass. You get some near IR passthrough but not much.

Fuck.

Act 1 is a chore to get through on replay.

Good news is if you have the DLC you can skip the first act. The DLC start puts you in front of the Church in Pacifica after fighting Placide.

I like Cyberpunk a lot but replayability is shallow like you say. Sometimes I just boot it up to punch npcs though. Make a gorilla arms build and go ham. It’s pretty cathartic.

Maybe they’ll sing Imagine.

Edit: Actually since it’s resistance they’ll sing like Tubthumping or something “i get knocked down, but i get up again”

At least there’s time in-between for things to change.

I’ve never assumed that interpretation. I always thought the gifts were given each day. So you end up with twelve partridges and pear trees at the end. The song says “on the nth day of christmas my true love gave to me” doesn’t that imply you are receiving all those gifts that day?

So download a user agent switcher and set it to show you as using chrome. This is what i do with firefox and i haven’t run across a site that thinks i’m using firefox.

They also charge you a crazy exit tax if you want to give up citizenship in order to save on taxes. They always get their pound of flesh.

Here in colombia a lot of people stream pirate sites instead of downloading a torrent. It’s just a culture thing. My guess is lack of storage space to keep torrents. Streaming goes to a cache that gets cleared out so it doesn’t take up storage.

I only use Cento san marzanos as the base for my sauce. And i learned to make sauce from my italian grandfather. A small amount of sugar always improves the sauce.

Nah, a small amount of sugar improves tomato sauce. It cuts the acidity.

I’ve never tried stevia in tomato sauce. I’ll give it a try sometime. I’d worry about making it too sweet though since a lot of sweeteners are thousands of times sweeter than sugar.

Superb Owls kill squirrels too. Not just chickens.

Try making tomato sauce without sugar. Get back to me when you’ve tasted your horror.

Calculators are similar to a Dark Souls game.

If that were true then mashing buttons on your calculator would prevent any inputs from being processed for a few seconds.

Time to get off the internet, Dr. Jackson. I’m sure those goa’uld will show up in their spaceships any day now.
