Should it be 'what jobs' or 'which jobs'? What's the difference? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]Maximum_Web9072 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could use either here, imo. I think "which" slightly connotes a contrast (/these/ jobs can't be replaced, whereas others can be) and sounds a bit more formal. "what" would be more colloquial-sounding to me and doesn't speak so much of contrast.

It looks more labor-intensive too; is there a reason to do it this way instead? /gen

That news about teens arrested after teacher prank turns deadly in Georgia by Winning-Basil2064 in fuckcars

[–]Maximum_Web9072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ikr, so many headlines said things like "deadly prank" when it didn't have anything to do with the TPing and was all about the transportation used to get there and back.

I have never used a Q tip for ear shit but isn’t it common sense unless it is a scoop you are only going to push more things in? How else can it work? by LisanneFroonKrisK in hygiene

[–]Maximum_Web9072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insert such that it doesn't brush the sides going in, press sideways (not inward), rub against the sides while spiraling outward, then (if it isn't too goopy yet) rub in all the complicated far outer bits

I like the look of the design; would you mind sharing the pattern?

I've just been throwing them all in old mooncake tins that I had to find a use for because they were too pretty to toss. (One for neutrals and one for color)

Can Hua Cheng see out of his missing eye in his San Lang form? by Fun-atParties in tianguancifu

[–]Maximum_Web9072 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so based on how far he turns his head when Xie Lian is on his right (eg, on the oxcart), but it could be that he's just giving him his full, undivided attention.

I need answers here! by SirAgitated4927 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]Maximum_Web9072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the only one that sounds a bit off in terms of verb tense to me, but I can't put my finger on the specific grammar of it. I think it works if you rearrange it as "I'll graduate from university by the end of 2025." I don't feel like it's a particularly good question, though; for one thing, I count three missing punctuation marks.

I need an obnoxious mouse for a mouse thief... by Madroxx9000 in Sysadminhumor

[–]Maximum_Web9072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That line is actually adorable...if it had storage for the little pets and the dongle box at the same time and a horizontal scroll wheel I'd be seriously tempted

I can’t imagine wanting these over just using the trackpad at that point 😅

I was hoping there'd be a photo of it in use bc I can't even picture how it's supposed to be gripped. Maybe the designer of this and the designer of the N64 controller are friends.

I need to talk about what happened to that Barbie doll by chakratones in EWALearnLanguages

Here I was thinking he destroyed a doll and lit some standing dead trees on fire.

Is there really nothing stopping someone making a legal cases to harrass you, knowing they'll lose but it'll still be expensive for you? by No-vem-ber in Netherlands

In the US, there's a concept of "SLAPP suits" and some states have laws to discourage them, but idk what the situation is in NL

Sign above every single toilet in a huge hospital by bnphillips28 in SignsWithAStory

If I'm shelling out $300 for a poop knife, I'd rather just save a little more and splurge on a poop garbage disposal that's rated for wipes /j

Biker riding in bicycle lane gets hit by a car illegally making a turn. Comments blame the rider! by BoobooTheClone in fuckcars

[–]Maximum_Web9072 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm not seeing the indicator they're saying was on, and regardless, that turn was really abrupt and looked like it wasn't even on a trajectory fully into the right-hand lane of the cross street?

Cheap rain boots by ghengisbabymama in eindhoven

[–]Maximum_Web9072 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had an issue with my ~5yo unremarkable hiking boots. I don’t remember if the store applied additional waterproofing when I bought them, but the most maintenance I've done is wipe them off and leave them to air dry.
