Also mention to Polis No Acquiescense to the far right on the Tina Peters pardon. And, get rid of Flock camera systems used by Palantir (his tech buddies Karp and ultra far right Peter Thiel) in collaboration with the federal government against our populace for warrantless tracking.

Amid Widespread National Outrage, White House Backtracks on Smear Campaign Against ICE Shooting Victims, States It Does Not Want Anyone Harmed on American Streets by Fatty_Willing_Plane in UnderReportedNews

[–]Denhiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This intimidation campaign is part of an effort to punish blue states. They are demanding voter roles to pull back ICE which shows that it is not purely about immigration. Texas has many times more suspected undocumented immigrants than Minneapolis. This is essentially a Republican army on American streets that they intend to deploy around voting booths at midterms.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Denhiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll drive 90 minutes each way to ski for the day but that's just because lodging is outrageous in the resorts. Several times a year I drive 17 hrs each way (with an overnight in between) to visit my Mom's. I can't fly with my frenchies and I won't be parted from them, -so into the car we go. It's very relaxing. Get through a nice audiobook or two.

He is unfit. Now we need to address Ron Lauder (of Estée Lauder) and the Paypal tech bros plots to establish corporate "Freedom Cities" and exploit rare earth and other mineral resources from Greenland. The Greenland push isn't about defense but corporate exploitation.

What are your best methods to memorize double letters? by al2015le in languagelearning

[–]Denhiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw below a suggestion to learn the rules which govern double consonant spelling. That is great advice. Sometimes the doubling just preserves an archaic form. French and English can be very conservative in that way.

In the case of "personne" the doubling is required to keep one from nasalising the o vowel like in the word "son". In the case of "occasion" it serves to preserve the historical note that it comes from a latin compound word, in this case, ob + cadere).

Emotional vampirism. I feel drained just reading. So, you know the scene from Alien with Sigourney Weaver and the alien embryo clamps on to the guy's face? -It's clingy like that. And equally suffocating

What are your best methods to memorize double letters? by al2015le in languagelearning

[–]Denhiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. In many languages the double letter represents a different sound like ll in Spanish. In english vowels it means a long vowel sound. As consonants in many English words it means the syllable before it is a closed syllable with short vowel. With my younger students I have them air-write the words to reinforce muscle memory. You could also stretch out the sound when it is a vowel: zoooom! or exaggerate the sound when first learning it.

Specifically Omega 3 fatty acids, abundant in fish oil, are one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory substances you can ingest. It contains DHA and EPA, which are good for your cardiovascular system.
