Yes but he serves a different community
But for who? Just him?
No, but I’m gonna run his code anyway
Yes, that’s nuts. I used to be very happy to have less than one and a half megs on something wider than a deck of cards. Now you’re talking about terabytes on something the size of a pinky fingernail. I could store a half dozen in a pocket in my wallet without noticing them. That’s a lot of storage.
For the record, only 6-10 games is also about 5-10 games more than I could store on one of those floppies, and if it was one it was an old game. It’d be akin to putting Halo: CE (not remastered or anything, original) on a micro SD.
So, yeah, storage is plentiful and readily available.
Nah, portable devices use portable storage. The space available in microSD is nuts
And readily available resources. No need to put effort into space saving tricks when space is so easy to come by
Your spells are dadisms
“Walk it off” - cure light wounds
“If I told you once I told you a thousand times…” - command
“Great job, kiddo” - bless
“What you’re gonna wanna do is…” - guidance
You get the idea
I didn’t want to come off dismissive asking how often you’re talking about those specific kinds of plants but maybe it’s a relevant question after all lol
I think you and I have very different experiences. I rarely see that kind of correction if ever.
When you’re in a public space you never know when your words are being consumed by an ESL speaker. I think the best approach is natural yet accurate. They’re going to encounter contractions when dealing with native speakers, but the difference between it’s and its, for example, can be tricky so try to use them as taught.
Spelling mistakes can absolutely be an issue. It’s already hard enough to figure out English spelling without native speakers making it worse. Add on to that the difficulty in any added language of working out near homophones, let alone actual homophones.
I knew someone who was pretty decent with English as their third language but had trouble keeping Texas and taxes straight. I know another guy who is American and uses no in place of know. That one threw me for a while before I figured out what he was trying to say.
I will admit, I do like that “technically” the plural for octopus is “supposed to be” octopods (pronounced like oc-tip-o-dees) but that’s a fun “fact”, not a correction I’ve ever tried to make.
90+% of the time you get common mistakes. Should ofs, they’re - there - their confusions, apostrophes for plurals.
The kind of thing that confuses ESL speakers. The decent thing would seem to be to try and stick to the way it’s taught rather than go with the “it doesn’t matter” route when it absolutely matters to some.
I’m juggling 3 languages
We Americans like to forget that anyone might have any trouble understanding English especially in cases of polyglots.
I don’t know which is your native tongue but from this comment it looks like you’re doing a fine job.
Except that it would be “they should, of course,”.
Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.
Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there’s no good reason to not learn and grow.
Florida attached to Europe looks mildly like a penis.
Yep. Leftists are regularly fighting back against misinformation and carefully crafted narratives designed to make people believe lies even if said narrative isn’t expressly untrue.
But masses of anti-war activists and so-called leftists in the US have now decided that war isn’t so bad
Nope. War is still bad, which is why the invading country should stop or be made to stop if they won’t do so voluntarily.
Here’s a fun exercise. If a foreign hostile power invaded the area you live in, using an excuse that has enough elements of truth to not technically be a flat out lie, how much of that land should be given up to appease them?
It’s ok. Don’t feel obligated to answer. I’m certainly not coming back to this thread.
I hope I’m not the only one old enough to be thinking of a Smurf yelling at me to adjust my TV
It never ceases to amaze me that the actor who played an idiot on News Radio, and never really seemed like he was acting, has become what he has.
Given him and Andy Dick both were on there, maybe someone should check in on Dave Foley and Stephen Root.
I think the standard is that you can use the tools and options available to you to open in a new tab or window. If none of those are usable for you I’d have a hard time believing you can find the option you want buried in a settings menu.
Of course we did they look great
