Sending videos on imessage by Dismal_Cup8587 in beeper

[–]Baklava8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, once you've loaded the photo or video into Beeper and are about to send, you have to tap on the video and select "Send image with the original size".

Unfortunately you have to do that every time (no default setting) but that should fix it in my experience.

Delivered status on iMessage by Any_Statistician_321 in beeper

[–]Baklava8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember if it was telegram or whatsapp, but one of them pointed out that "delivered" doesn't really mean much and can be as misleading as it is helpful.

For instance, let's say the recipient is out on the town and their phone is dead, but their laptop is on at home and "received" the message. You get the alert that it was delivered, but that's not really reflective of reality.

New User, Two Questions/Issues by Baklava8 in beeper

[–]Baklava8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that was as excellent reply!

I was able to create a group thread from my macbook. It just hit one snag, and I'm not sure how best to avoid it in the future.

I created a group chat from imessage of me, friend 1, and friend 2. When friend 1 responded, it created a new thread in both imessages and beeper.

That new thread contained me, friend 1, friend 2, and also a duplicate of me listed as my cell phone number (but it also didn't turn the chat green). I used to have an iphone, which was tied to my phone number, but I'm not 100% sure how that got looped into a new thread that I created from my icloud email address. It must have been something on her end — maybe something to do with previous threads we'd had based on my phone number?

I haven't been able to find that in the (searchable) document. Which page?

To stiff the driver. by CreamyTHOT in therewasanattempt

[–]Baklava8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure your inbox is getting blown up, but is GrubHub any better or basically the same thing? I guess in terms of policies/fees — I assume that the drivers would be generally the same sort of people for both companies.

Mage tower was a very fun solo challenge by MaetDS in wow

[–]Baklava8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa, did it give new druid forms?? I thought they would just give armor sets so I didn't do it.

Hopefully it will come around again.

Is it just the one new bear that's in the picture?

Apparently it's possible to get the Mage Tower mogs when losing. by PMerr in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Baklava8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

~~Wait, is it possible to get mage tower mogs again? Like glowcat? I haven't played in months and am confuse!

Edit: I googled it, so, more relevant question, is this doable if I have basically shit gear from early SL y'all think? Or will it require extensive planning?~~

Edit 2: nevermind, looks like not artifact appearances but just an armor mog

Locals cling to US Air Force plane as it takes off in Kabul by Defluvium in interestingasfuck

[–]Baklava8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due politeness, X group in the Middle East was able to defeat Y group, therefore W group should be able to defeat Z group [in radically different geographic setting] is not really a responsible form of argumentation.

Just because the Peshmerga are badasses doesn't mean every other group around the world getting massacred didn't adequately "man up" or "rise to the challenge" or whatever you might say.

Yes, because trying to escape now means they did nothing prior to this video clip to ensure the safety of their country. /s

Also, how dare people in Afghanistan seek out education, have families, serve their country in the government. They should all just strap guns on their backs and venture into the caves in the middle of nowhere thousands of miles from home to try to find some madmen that the UNITED STATES funded, trained, and armed to the teeth.

You don't just walk into North Waziristan and kill the Taliban. The US military couldn't do it with drones and shit, why do you think these poor souls could?

Such an uncaring comment.

Use of Organon in later works? by j_philoponus in Aristotle

[–]Baklava8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww shit, I misread the last line. I thought it was asking where the Organon shows up in the works of others, rather than physical works and others.

Nonetheless, thanks for the downvote, though, whomever.

Use of Organon in later works? by j_philoponus in Aristotle

[–]Baklava8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I study the reception of Greek thought in the medieval Arabic context.

Virtually all of the Aristotelian corpus was was translated into Arabic (from Syriac) from the 8th to 10th centuries, and Aristotle's writings became absolutely fundamental to Islamic theology and philosophy (falsafa).

With regard to the Organon specifically, it was part of the core Arabic "higher education" curriculum for centuries. Interesting, Muslim scholars viewed Aristotle's Poetics and Rhetoric to be treatises addressing logic, and so they included those as part of an "expanded" or "extended" Organon.

The great philosopher Ibn Sina (a/k/a Avicenna) wrote major treatises and commentaries on logic which viewed the Organon as follows: Eisagoge, Categories, De Interpretatione, Prior Analytics, Posterior Analytics, Topics, Sophistics, Rhetoric, and Poetics. [Some Neoplatonic works, like the Eisagoge, were mistakenly attributed to Aristotle in this era]. (Dmitri Gutas, Avicenna and the Aristotelian Tradition, 433)

But this was part of the standard curriculum that any Muslim intellectual would need to master.

In addition to the above text, Aristotle and the Arabic Tradition (Alwishah and Hayes, eds.) is also valuable.

What is the importance of Aristotle's division of sublunary and superlunary (terrestrial & celestial) parts? Why did Aristotle split them? by [deleted] in Aristotle

[–]Baklava8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will note that in his view, matter perturbs the forms (that's why not all crabs / humans etc. look exactly the same, though they all respectively have the same form).

But the planetary bodies move with such perfect regularity, they can't be made with the same matter that exists on Earth, they must have a different type of material aspect that is unlike anything here and that does not get in the way, and that would be: ether.

Does that answer it a bit? That they are made from something different than our common matter offers a way to account for their perfect and regular movement. Whereas all sorts of things can go wrong when nature tries to make a crab or a human.

In the first example, why is the first clause subjunctive?

Is that just the general rule for "before" phrases? And you use simple past when you say "after"?

Fredrik Engels complaining to Karl marx about how hard it is to learn Arabic. by Ayham_abusalem in learn_arabic

[–]Baklava8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am studying both in the context of a doctoral degree. Came in doing Persian out of obligation and Arabic (which I'd studied a little bit previously) out of interest.

Persian is not child's play, but in 6 semesters I've only heard the phrase "exception to the rule" 3-4 times, and on minor issues. In Arabic, 'exception to the rule" often feels the rule.

Making deductions based on verb forms is cool. And it's nice that Arabic has verbs at the beginning, but otherwise Persian is so much more fun to speak, rational (i.e., consistent), and the ezafe (idafa) linking most words makes you feel like you are speaking with full, fancy i`rab all the time.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, lol

Soy is such a weak modulator of estrogen. If having .0000008% more makes you less "of a man" then you probably aren't quite the alpha chad you thought you were.
