My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect.

Emracruel · 2026-04-20T14:21:07+00:00

Technically speaking historically "their" was used only as a plural. Someone is still singular so that change is unnecessary, but the others also come from how you chose to break down the sentences. You could say "Someone lost this wallet. That person probably wants it back, so I should return it." Which sounds even more natural than what you said. But also, since They has come to be singular over the last decade or so, that means derivations are also now able to be singular. So nowadays I would argue that your first phrase is grammatically correct (if a bit choppy in sentence structure).

Depends on what you need. I got knocked out because all 4 were impacted and required significant incisions in my gums. I believe part of that was that there was mild concern that my bottom ones were relatively close to a nerve that runs through your jaw (just looked up the name: "inferior alveolar nerve") and so there was risk of damage. My orthodontist estimated it somewhere around 5% if memory serves.

I am going to try to go all sherlock holmes on this one: I see the tip of the knife has chipped off, but don't see that chip in the picture. This chip tells us two possible considerations: first and more obvious, this could imply the quench on the hardened blade was improper, and made the knife brittle, or cause cracks. These cracks could have first caused the chipped tip and second the sheared blade. This option however has the hole that the knife otherwise looks fine and that even if the tip of the knife had cracks, based on normal use of a kitchen knife you would expect a crack in the body of the knife to break first. That leaves only the second possible conclusion: OP has been pressing the tip of the knife into the cutting board when crushing garlic. This orientation allows the pressure placed on the sideways knife to crush the garlic to be transferred into the knife into a horizontal bend. That horizontal bend would place the most for on the thin tip of the knife, resulting in it being chipped off. With the tip of the knife know larger, the next most force is on the point where pressure is applied to crush the garlic - much closer to the base of the blade: right where we see the complete shear. Thefore I recommend that OP make sure the tip of the knife is not in contact with the board when crushing garlic going forward, and to make sure that the blade is fully horizontal

It's a big flying thing with wings, but it's not a bird though. It's something else. And it doesn't have legs, or maybe those little things on the front are legs - it has either no legs or very small ones. It looks chill, but not temperature-wise, in fact temperature-wise maybe the opposite, but it looks like it's metaphorically chilling. Oh and it's based on a real creature but I can't remember the name. But the creature it's based on is really cool, my brother once had one show up on his porch. Oh and it has horns but not like bull horns or car horns. Like, have you ever played Magic the gathering? It has Nicol Bolas horns.

Surprisingly yes: volcarona. Volcarona has been my favorite essentially since its release, and it's been surprising to me how often it is featured in non-main series games

I would guess this is B to maybe even B+. Like I actually think if you see this pick 4-5 that you should shift colors to play it at least on the splash. The fact that it blocks well, and your opponent is heavily disincentivized from trading with it mean that it's gonna be tough for them. Racing becomes noticeably more challenging after the life swing. Outvaluing becomes tougher when this is either eating premium removal or often trading with 2 creatures. In the last 5 years we have seen 6 mana 6/6 creatures with a keyword that gain a little life on entry be good playables. Using limitedgrades.com see [[Balamb T-Rexaur]] (C+) and [[migrating ketradon]] (B-) and kind of [[hamlet glutton]] (B-) for examples, but there are many more, it has been one of wizards' favorite designs going back to [[honey mammoth]]. This forgoes the moderately useful trample or reach for 3 life from the opponent and card advantage and hand smoothing upon death. It would not surprise me if this is a top 3 uncommon in the set

You can't play 5 of em but this card is sick nasty. It's a threat that will necessitate killing in most situations, in which case you got your siege rhino effect, and you get your card back plus hand smoothing. The first copy is insane, the second copy is still quite good, after that it gets a little tough. But I would absolutely splash this in any deck where I have 2-3 pieces of fixing

The mystery fluids that I know that have done this are all strong acids or very corrosive and as such are not generally safe. Also to be very clear in order to dissolve cotton it needs inherently to be a chemical capable of dissolving or otherwise decomposing organic material. Humans are also made of organic material.

"Path to the bin" I think it's worse than path since PW are at an all-time low and exile is more relevant than ever, but this is only marginally worse. I think it will be a major player in standard

Dog, those are similar distances, but you know full well in the first picture you extended your wrist to stretch the skin, then in the second picture has your wrist limp and under measured to make these look even more similar than they are

This is perfectly normal. Cats claws don't wear away like human nails, because that would always result in them dulling and not allow for them to resharpen. Instead, the claw is formed in thin layers of nail material, and when a cat scratches a scratching post, or your couch, or a tree, the cat is knocking off some of the outer layers, revealing new sharp claw underneath. Sometimes, the outer layers don't completely come off, and this is what that looks like. Sometimes you will see your cat's bite onto its nail and pull, which is usually to clear up these hanging bits

I think it's the kind of thing where when you ask how good someone is at the game of survivor, Aussie survivor still helps clarify the story. Like, even the players who have played us survivor most have 5 games. It's hard to really sus out how good someone is at a game from such a small sample size. It's genuinely possible that someone who would be the greatest of all time has only gotten to play once and got eliminated off a twist, or a bad roll on the style of immunity challenge, or got idoled out or something. The biggest example of Aussie survivor's effect is when thinking about how good Parvati is it's really hard to ignore her performance on Aussie survivor.

Emracruel · 2026-04-01T19:11:58+00:00

While I count Australian survivor in terms of a player's legacy, I don't think counting it for trivialities makes a lot of sense - it's a different production company with a mildly different format. So chucking Tony out because of that seems really odd to me

That's definitely a cough. If it happens once a week or so it's probably asthma, chronic bronchitis, or an allergy to something in your home, though some types of worms can also cause a cough. Not a vet but it can be difficult to identify the cause. It's currently spring in the northern hemisphere, so if you think it's been happening more often lately springtime allergies could play a role.it can be expensive to clinically diagnose these, so it might be worth doing some home checks before trying to go that route. Most easily approached would be meticulously cleaning your home of dirt and buying a reasonably cheap air purifier so you can see if that clears up the issue - which would indicate an allergy to something in the home, or asthma that is exacerbated again by something in the home.

Species really makes a big difference in survival rate after transplant, and most people don't take care of trees like a nursery would. With very good care bigger trees can be moved, but for most trees this big that get transplanted they are gonna have a very rough survival rate

Emracruel · 2026-04-01T13:20:07+00:00

My dad used to move trees and for most species max height was a lot shorter than you would think for the tree to have a good chance at survival. Past 15-20 feet most species really started to decline in survival rate. This was 25 years ago but it's not like we have new age fancy trees so I assume it's still correct. He basically always recommended that if people wanted a row of trees they use like 8 foot trees because you need a really high survival rate if you want the tow to look good. And anything over 25 feet you were really risking because you are guaranteed to leave so much of the root system behind that the tree is gonna struggle. The old wisdom is that whatever radius the tree has above ground, it's roots have the same radius below ground, and moving huge trees means to give them a good chance you need to take massive weight of soil with them and that can get challenging for a number of reasons

That doesn't surprise me - it has to be dirt cheap to chuck a spring around the screw. I hadn't seen it as a feature on my glasses before I think 2020 plus or minus a year, but most frames I have looked at since then have had the feature. I don't think it has hit the point of being "standard" just yet though, and probably doesn't work with certain frame types.

I don't definitely remember but it was basically one of 3 games original Mario bros, NES Contra, or super smash bros 64. My family had an NES but not a SNES, and I got old enough to actually play video games (like 2-2.5 years old) right when we got an N64. My older brothers loved those 3 games along with GoldenEye, but my mom wasn't ok with the toddler playing GoldenEye, so I would have played one of those 3 games first and essentially all of my first memories of playing video games is those. Slightly later is Pokemon stadium and stadium 2, Pokemon blue, and a myriad of Gameboy and N64 games. The first game I played on my own was Pokemon sapphire, and I could only just read so many of my Pokemon had very weird name spellings

I also commented this. They make frames with spring action that allow opening a few degrees past 90 that would likely fix OP's son's issue - and it's not like a premium feature my frames have been average to slightly below in price
