I use CachyOS and it works great for my gaming needs. I use a PS4 controller on it just fine, no clue about the newer XBOX controllers, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

More like [ˈd̪ät̪ä], no long vowel.

That’s my B, I was looking at Ecclesiastical Latin for that one :3

Interesting points though, thanks for the elaboration. Shows the layers of silliness that is depending upon other languages for the way we pronounce words.

Your science teacher was wrong, unfortunately. In Classical Latin, datum is pronounced as [ˈd̪ät̪ʊ̃ˑ] “dah-too(m)” and likewise data as [ˈd̪äːt̪ä] [ˈd̪ät̪ä] “dah-tah.”

Not that Latin should really have a say in how we speak English anyhow.

Air Canada should be top 5 imo. I want my three nights in an expinse hotel (the only one with available rooms, at that) reimbursed, goddammit, I don’t care if it was out of your control due to “weather” on the nice, sunny day that my wife was having at my destination.

I might be a little biased…

A hypercorrection based on a misunderstanding of the Latin declension for the word, at that.

Happy Canada day, legends.

Take the red pill, all linguistic categories are equally unreal.

Someone should repost his comments without attribution, remix them without indicating as such, and/or use them for commercial purposes. Then we wait and see if he tries to enforce the license.

No, it’s been in English since Old English, but is cognate with Swedish hej.

Not as bad for his character as is his controversies section on wikipedia

Well then you should have just said that instead, because your initial reply was unwarranted given that I made my position on police enforcement in this regard quite clear.

I use weed lol.

Drug isn’t a dirty word, I apply this thinking to any and every drug, whether or not it’s a “drug of abuse.” If it hasn’t been shown to be safe during pregnancy, then it shouldn’t be used in pregnancy.

Jailing is not the answer, no, but throwing in “[m]arijuana may not even harm fetuses” is not the kind of message we want to be sending. One of my professors is a leading expert in cannabis research in Canada, and he is currently studying the effects of cannabis on fetal development in rats. They and previous studies are finding/have found increased anxiety and decreased cognition and sociability in rat pups exposed in utero, with worse effects in females than males. Other studies have found some physical deformations I believe, but I’m not so familiar with their research. My professor is studying this specifically because of the extent of its use in pregnancy and his concern with the long-term and large-scale effects of this. Cannabis is a drug and should not be used – without exception – in pregnancy until its safety and efficacy is established. I sympathise with women in a tough situation, but it’s simply not fair to the children. I just think throwing in these kinds of phrases is dismissive of rational concerns, even if the responses to these concerns are irrational.

Linguistic prescriptivism disgusts me.

Greatcoats actually work well on a bike when it starts to get pretty cold (ca. -20°C), I have a thick wool one that is Russian navy surplus and I might look like I just biked off of a warship, but it keeps me warm yet also breathes if I get too warm. Also, it’s long but splits down the middle nicely when I straddle my bike.

I haven’t biked in much colder than that, though in the winter it easily gets to -30 to -40 here. I kinda want to try but it’s quite intimidating both in terms of keeping all my extremeties as well as all the ice.
