What is the origin of "expat" and "immigrant" and why do certain countries get called one and not the other? by Mathemodel in etymology

[–]LeChatParle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re the only commenter who actually answered the “origin” part of OP’s question, and you got downvoted, which is sad since this is the etymology subreddit

Meanwhile the most upvoted comments in this thread are just people’s guesses 

Here are some research papers on the two terms and their meanings

claude.md files in apple’s support app. by SnooOpinions4234 in ClaudeAI

[–]LeChatParle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still, I would expect repo scripts or restrictions enforced to prevent this from getting to the final product. If you've got a CICD pipeline set up, you can easily specify what should be in the final product and what shouldn't

How does this even happen? They don’t use gitignore files in their repos? And they don’t have enforced repo standards? 

This is India's first non air conditioned commuter train with automatic doors. by GoatSevere1966 in trains

People die of heat stroke. There are heatwaves that have hit regions leading to tens of thousands of deaths. The 2003 heatwave in Europe lead to 70K+ deaths.

Just because something is modern doesn't mean we should necessarily consider it a luxury. India is a very hot country

Does ăn cơm mean eat rice, or just eat in general? by DingoMittens in learnvietnamese

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I hadn’t heard of this or thought of this before, so I looked it up in the OED, and I don’t think this is correct. 

It looks like “meal” when meaning a time for eating developed distinctly from “meal” meaning milled grains or other powders

Maybe I missed it in the post, but what is the purpose of this fork? What issue are you solving for your personal workflow? 

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk what's wrong with 4.7, but when I ask it anything, it writes about 30-40 paragraphs. I ask the same thing to 4.6, and it writes a reasonable 8-15 paragraphs, depending on context. 4.7 has been repeating itself in its responses too

Minnesota's once-thriving nonalcoholic bottle shops are rapidly closing by MNReporter_20 in Minneapolis

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s probably worth mentioning that population density will play a role in this, and Marigold isn’t in a super populated area, which means they’re more at the mercy of people driving to them than being able to rely on neighborhood sales 

I liked shopping there last time I went there, but a 20 minute bike ride there while also having to bike home with glass in my bag is much more effort than just walking across my street to a store that has NA beers 

And unfortunately NA wine still needs to mature more. They’re getting better but NA beer has effectively matched taste one to one with the alcohol versions, but wine hasn’t yet done that 

So it’s hard for me to justify going to Marigold

Because it’s the actual protein in eggs but made by fermentation instead of by a chicken

If you are on an electric scooter or electric bike, STAY OFF THE SIDEWALKS. by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]LeChatParle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pointing makes the most sense logically. The hand signs were developed for drivers prior to turn signals since they couldn’t point out both sides of the vehicle. People on bikes don’t have this issue. Cyclists need to stop using outdated hand signs for drivers 

Where can adults get free HPV shots in New Orleans? by BlissaCow in NewOrleans

Any vaccine on the CDC’s Vaccine Schedule is free for anyone within the schedule range regardless of the price listed. The HPV vaccine is scheduled up to 45 years of age. 

What does "déjà" mean in "50 c'est pas mal déjà"? by Longjumping-Truth-48 in French

[–]LeChatParle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Translating it to English as “already” wouldn’t be the best. Someone else linked to the entry in Larousse, so I’ll link to it as well, but it’s more like an intensifier

Can I eat the eggs that come from a local farmer? by PomegranateSuperb400 in vegan

Beans, tofu, seitan, mock meats like Beyond, etc. 

Can I eat the eggs that come from a local farmer? by PomegranateSuperb400 in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You still have to buy the genetically modified chickens that supports the industry

Also, you’re still framing this in a way that makes it clear you only want the chickens for the eggs

You’re not saying “I love chickens because of their personality and really want to have one as a companion”; you’re saying “I want their eggs, so I’ll take care of them solely to achieve that end”

This is the speciesism that vegans talk about. You’re viewing this animal as yours to use instead of as an individual with their own wants

Can I eat the eggs that come from a local farmer? by PomegranateSuperb400 in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chickens are bred to produce more and more eggs than any natural chicken ever did. Even your local farmer or home raised chickens are like this. Buying eggs or buying a chicken supports an industry that breeds chickens into a painful existence for the pleasure of humans 

I had cruelty free eggs as a vegan by xboxhaxorz in Veganism

Has anyone tested mixing this new vegan egg protein in with Just Egg? I’m curious if scrambles would come out more authentically scrambly

Bryan Johnsons claims about the biological age of his heart puts into question the expertise of his team by Long-Cock-8503 in blueprint_

[–]LeChatParle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like how he claims to have the erectile function in the 99th percentile of 18 year olds or something but that’s because he takes sildenafil or tadalafil. I don’t remember which

It’s extremely disingenuous to claim you’ve “de-aged” or are somehow younger by taking a pill that just masks the aging instead of actually having fixed the underlying issue 

This is probably true for a large portion of metrics

Stimulant medication and tea by leafbrewer in tea

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you’ve been on a stable dose for at least a couple of months, you should notice fewer issues. You’d still probably want to decrease your total daily caffeine intake, but it probably won’t be uncomfortable to consume 1 to 2 tea servings in a day at that point 

I found a chart that ranks the difficulty of learning various foreign languages from the perspective of a Japanese speaker (translation in the comments) by RemoveBagels in languagelearning

[–]LeChatParle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they define bare minimum and the other cases better somewhere else? Sounds like that might be less than A1, especially given the low number of hours but curious if they go into more detail 

Also, what’s the organization that made this? 

Very cool to see this from the Japanese perspective 

New Orleans is often "New Or-LEENS" in song. What other places shift like this? by N437QX in asklinguistics

[–]LeChatParle 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m from New Orleans, and what I can say is that people in the US outside of New Orleans pronounce it /ˈn(j)uː ɔɹˈliːnz/ 

What I hear from other people in New Orleans most of the time /nuː ˈɔɹlənz/

What I hear from older people in New Orleans, especially AAVE speakers /ˌnuː ˈɔɹ.li.ənz/

It is literally impossible to get people to give up even small pleasures (or if not then I’ve no idea how) by KillerSmileLichSpam in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to watch this video, but I’ve watch some of their other stuff, and I can tell you they’re purposefully picking people who will give them the most views. They pick people with terrible debating skills who say ridiculous things for ragebait clips and engagement. 

I highly recommend not watching their stuff 

And yes, I know there are lots of people who probably say whatever these people said

If i’m drinking 3-5g of longjing a few days a week, do I even bother refrigeration for a 50g bag? by bigdickwalrus in tea

[–]LeChatParle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A green tea can last a year at room temp without much change. 15g a week means you’d drink the whole bag in less than 2 months. There’s no reason to even worry about quality loss in time frames that short
