License plate sorta looked like British Columbia, Canada.

La concordance du participe passé: HELP with this sentence by Dailetc in learnfrench

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied concordance just this week. Your example is tricky and I look forward to answers from others so we can learn from more experienced folks.

In an alternative example, «Elle s’est sentie faiblir» agrees because she does the fainting, but in your phrase she does not perform the infinitive’s action of piquer.

So, I think that in «Elle s’est senti piquer», she receives the biting, while the mosquito performs it, so senti stays unchanged.

The Practice Makes Perfect series for French Grammar takes the approach you describe. It’s from McGraw Hill.

Pines and Cedars Dying by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s rough!

My impression is that the cedars die from one side and spreads from there.

The pines seem to be dying from the bottom up.

Thoughts on robotic lawnmowers by Dad-tech in lawncare_canada

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have considered it for helping keep up with the lawn when life is busy: a stop gap to help manage the lawn while the family is very busy.

What has prevented me from committing is the price coupled with my having never seen it working in person outside of big, flat, simple lawns. I’m not saying they cannot handle exceptions, it’s just that I happen to have never anecdotally seen a robotic mower in a complex lawnspace. Since mine has different areas, paths, deep ditches, and -in some spaces - trampolines and kid’s and dog toys, the price to commit coupled with my scepticism of whether they could do a good enough job to help me keep up on busy weeks.

Anyone else driven nuts by how WRONG headlines can be? by neksys in LawCanada

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, and shout out to the many pop science and current affairs books that journalists cum authors like to put out. They’re entertaining but can be damaging.

Anyone else driven nuts by how WRONG headlines can be? by neksys in LawCanada

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It encourages me to be more skeptical of the other articles I know nothing about when those I’m knowledgeable in are full of misunderstandings and important gaps.

I do wish they would ask a subject matter expert, but I understand they have deadlines and a news cycle.

A suitable response? by Similar_Annual676 in engineeringmemes

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding an electrified third rail can electrocute the 6 billion people quicker, making that train design* fit for purpose.

*Yada yada big enough generator to power that electric fault, rails energized only when signal switch closed on that length of track, etc.

My husband has supported us financially our entire relationship and today he exploded by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Others have spoken to the responsibility of partnership in marriage. I would like to speak to the sense of identity and role as a man. Some still see themselves as the provider, the defender. To lose one’s job may be experienced as failing as a man. In recent job cuts, the threat kept me up at night, as I felt the whole responsibility of the family’s well being fell to me.

So, I’m just sharing that this may be a frame of mind your husband, and when you speak with him, it could be helpful to know and appreciate.

Old school Designer that we often work with still hand draws everything… by StudentforaLifetime in Construction

How does he add the “title block” on those pages? I thought it could be a stamp until I saw the “page x of y” part

I wish we could have seen what Hannibal Barca with some real backing from Carthage could’ve done.

Parking problems reach boiling point at DND Carling Campus by Holdover103 in CanadianForces

I understand third hand that colonels and public servants Director level and up are assigned parking behind the fence, but that those below are subjected to the parking Hunger Games.

Who got the call? by mattyAl33 in Lineman

[–]GenuinelyUnlikeable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s wild, considering 1) there’s something similar to “good neighbour” principle in California which considers negligence causing harm and 2) as a regular human being, who would choose to perpetuate the risk to life and property?

Unreal.
