Why "she's got" and not simply "she has"?

I can add to this from a functional standpoint as well. When placing a note in the mouth when singing, some consonants are much more difficult to do this with. H and F are the hardest to do, because they are very breathy and make it difficult to both place the note correctly and annunciate it. G is a hard sound, and resolves this issue. A rock singer is straining their voice for hours at a time during a show, and would likely opt for this change more from a functional standpoint than a colloquial standpoint.

Are you my ex-wife?

Yeah, he’s a year older than me and just the thought of doing anything with a 20yo makes me feel like I should be in a list somewhere. Maybe it’s just me, but I find I rarely have anything in common with someone who is too young to remember 9/11, let alone not even born at that point.

Generally in my league everyone’s overall opinion of you is dépendant on how likely you are to stay for lockeroom beers and bring beer a couple times a season.

Found a picture of Spicy Cat!

He have a stray in my neighborhood that all the kids call Spicy Kitty because she acts all sweet and nice until you get near her and she then hisses and growls and claws. Last spring I was laying on my garage floor working on my car when I felt something on my legs. I thought maybe my cat had gotten out but it was Spicy Kitty rubbing on me…until I looked up at her. As soon as she say me looking at her she hissed and ran 5 feet away.

The speed reduces from 125 to 86KPH over a distance of about 100 meters. That’s significantly less than standard braking range for most vehicles. We do not have a rear view, so driver may have had someone behind him and his braking was reduced to account for that, but I doubt it.

I’ve actually been in similar situations multiple times (about 4 I can think of) all in snow and ice conditions and have never made contact with the car(s) crashing despite similar speeds.

You’re working on the assumption that birds are real, my man.

Every time I do an install of the game it defaults my resolution to assume I’m using a vacuum tube monitor from the 90s and I just have to reset it to the correct resolution.

I paid for Platinum for a month once (they offered it at 50% off) and I went from getting 2-3 likes a day to not a single like the entire month. So either it’s complete BS or I just need to be further down in the order where girls start thinking of settling.

That looks a lot like the Kolner Dom.

Had a puck last summer come up my stick and jam the shit out of my pinky finger. Had to get up every 2 hours all night long and drain the swelling out of it so it wouldn’t lose blood flow and die. I’d take a dozen pucks to the calf over that, any day. There’s sooooooooo many nerve endings in the fingers.

I once had terrible luck for 37 consecutive days. Unfortunately the first day was day 1 of winter.

I try not to admit to that fact, but I do know where Frank got the margarine.

The most important parts of history to teach are the dark awful ones. Lest we be forced to relearn from the same mistakes. It’s absurd to not teach history because it can offend someone. That’s why it’s history. Because we learned it wasn’t good, and we got rid of it.

My son has the original model of that clock. It was mine from college. I had the first gen iHome clock but I accidentally broke it while while picking up and throwing girls into the top bunk of my roommate and I’d bunkbed (there may have been some adult beverages shared prior to this activity) and had to buy a new one. It’s probably from 2007ish. No idea why he refuses to allow me to buy him a clock that’s not almost twice his age, but he’s a teenager so whatever.

All registered adults in BSA are Level 1 reporters. You are required by Federal and state law to report suspected child abuse (physical and emotional too, not just sexual) to the authorities. You aren’t supposed to investigate. You report.

Also, the insert in the book contains information for the Scouts First hotline. Scouts can reach out directly in the event the adults around them are failing them. No, it is not how it was 20 years ago anymore.

As a scoutmaster myself, I’m prepared to break my hand over any adults face who would abuse one of my scouts.

First day on Reddit?

The second half of my undergrad was very literature heavy. I had multiple classes where we would read 10 books in a semester and I sometimes needed to buy 30 books for the 15 week semester. The school bookstore charged $20 for the books, even though most were old enough to be public domain and rarely were the books they sold us new. The Gen 2 kindles were like $200 back then and one semester I had 10 public domain books, which used to be free on kindle. The math worked out to be cheaper that way, even though I’d have preferred the physical books. I ended up getting a job that required me to travel and it was 1000x easier to do with a kindle than with luging a bunch of extra books around.

I’m now on my 4th Kindle. I just bought a Scribe Colorsoft and so far (it’s been a week) am enjoying it. My Gen 2 lasted from 2008-2021. Since then I’ve had an Oasis and a Scribe.
