https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English, a friend of mine was a linguistics major and loved talking about it. I also learned a nonstandard dialect is why my “coil” sounds like col. There was a NY times quiz that tried to figure out where you were from based on some word and pronunciation questions, I wonder if theres a similar one for Canada.
Thanks, that sounds perfect
Thanks! That sounds perfect, especially adding mashed potatoes, rice, etc to it.
Is there any slow cooker you recommend? I’ve been considering getting one for a while
The Big Dark Sky by Dean Koontz, Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig, and Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Would you be able to share your code? I have the same problem possibly due to undiagnosed ADHD instead. I’ve been basically guilt tripping myself (or a parent has) to motivate myself to shower my whole life. Thanks for posting this, it seems like a way more fun way where I can be nerdy about it and still be a functional human being.
Sometimes its also been, I didnt plan on you guys doing that and I’ll have to come up with stuff on the fly so please reconsider but I dont want to tell you that. You’re doing it anyway? Well damn, improv time.
All Systems Red by Martha Wells. A novella at only 160 pages though.
The best way is unfortunately to do it yourself. This guide and this guide which it references (along with a helpful framework and other helpful websites) were what I found most helpful. It does take a bunch of time though which sucks, I haven’t finished it but I’m working on it over time. You can also supplement with this paid site which is only $20 and I remember reading an article that they had the best results of the ones the writer studied. It was still like 60% removal though which is why the manual way is more effective than any site.
Some favorites for me: Sandworm, basically solo Tremors (1990) where you need to dynamite a giant sandworm $2CAD
Escape the Zone, Roadside Picnic/S.T.A.L.K.E.R inspired $5CAD
Under Falling Skies, 9 card PnP solo board game. It was also part of a competition that happens yearly, I’m sure there are other cool submissions.
Chzo Mythos, a point and click horror series. Thats the Linux version page but the Windows ones should be there too.
Hot Mulligan or sleepmakeswaves
Amen by Amber Run. To me its someone in alcoholics anonymous after their partner has died.
Video on the element race (in the context of a physics scandal) that this is hopefully a major breakthrough in. Talks about island of stability and magic numbers
I dont really know whats age appropriate for a 12 year old but BobbyBroccoli has some good science controversy videos. He has a good series of videos on a physics scandal and a video on another physics scandal. He uses some cool visualizations and I like how he talks about the science and the people involved. Theres also cold fusion. One of the fusion videos has a title thats worrying but no one dies, its making a point.
Too dark at her age probably but maybe good as a teenager. I listen to Fascinating Horror who covers various disasters in 15 mins or less. I liked that the videos arent sensationalized. He always says the victims names and backgrounds, the circumstances leading up to it and the fallout. Like theres a video about a woman who was rushed the hospital and made the staff sick. Theres a lot of videos calling her the toxic lady. His video refers to her by name, mentions that moniker doesnt match how positive and loved she was, and her prior medical issues that likely caused her desperation.
Favorites for me at least:
El Aguante by Calle 13 (Spanish language)
Getting Sodas by The World is a Beautiful Place
Brave Faces Everyone by Spanish Love Songs (this song is kind of depressing in a hopeful way though)
Watch some rom coms (movies like As Good As It Gets and anime like Kimi ni Todoke and Wotakoi), eat some good ice cream, and maybe go to emo night at a bar
The guys in that are unexpectably wholesome. They’re like well, we got one thing in common. How about a beer?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street, agreeing with the other divide and conquer answer but with an episode of the Twilight Zone as an example
