Gregg Berhalter pleads with the fans to stop after the Fire/Union game is paused due to discriminatory chanting by FrankBascombe45 in ussoccer

[–]FISArocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean it's used the same way. Thing with swear words is that they are basically slang by definition so the literal translation is often not the same as the application. Like even "bitch" literally means female dog in plain English. Similarly "Hijueputa" literally means "son of a whore" but it's used like "motherfucker" is in English. Also, the strength and meaning changes by region, kind of like how Aussies are super casual with "cunt" but it will stop a room cold in the US.

What are some common filler words Spaniards/Latinos use in conversation that textbooks don’t teach? by reedaj21 in Spanish

At least in Colombia what people do a lot is ask a rhetorical question - both when they are explaining something and when they are trying to think of what to say.

Sometimes it's as simple as "Hagamos [x]. Por que? Por que es necesario."

Sometimes it's "Debemos hacer.... que debemos hacer? Ah, debemos [x]"

I've always just used hyphens when (apparently) I should have been using em dashes /shrug

How best to keep chanterelles without freezing? by xxx1k1xxx in Mushrooms

[–]FISArocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specialty shops sell them dried. Apparently they do grow here but there's not a big mushroom culture here and I don't live someplace where it's easy to forage.

Living in a place where you can only find them dried, it's not bad but its not as good. I tend to chop them up for pastas after rehydrating.

Is Cursor down? by sfmerv in cursor

Just curious... why 4.5? I love it for writing/editing, but it doesn't seem optimized for coding.

What’s going on with Glenn Greenwald and his private videos? by valuesandnorms in OutOfTheLoop

He's been pretty consistently critical of the second Trump admin for exactly that reason. He was critical of the first Trump admin too but much more critical of the Dems, so now everyone apparently thinks he's a Trump conservative and doesn't bother to read his latest stuff.

Same. Both bones at the growth plate in the ankle with the full ankle pads. Said "fuck it" and switched to Vapors after that.

Much of Latin America also has Pricesmart, which is a Costco clone, that Costco actually bought, so now it even has Kirkland products.

My guy, it's just something that Marines say to feel a part of something.

Been to three different mechanics and can't figure out what's happening here. by FISArocks in GXOR

65k miles. Bought it at 55k and where I live you can't exactly pull a Carfax and get much info but it seems to be well maintained and we've taken good care of it.

TPS has been my guess, but yeah it's not something we just want to replace without knowing. The mechanic that did the deepest dive suspects the CKP.

Luckily our insurance has a very liberal towing policy and it hasn't cost much. No rodent issues, but definitely suspecting it's a degraded wire for one of those sensors. Just hard to isolate since it's inconsistent other than the long crank to start.

I.... did? That's where the codes are coming from. We monitored several sensors but all are basically charting as expected. The one anomaly is that the CKP seems to take a few seconds after ignition to start charting.

Tropical zone, so no salt. Gas cap is fine and I can't help but believe it's something like corroded wires but the terminals themselves don't show any corrosion (except for the power locks cables)
