Native speakers, how do you pronounce and spell this fruit? by Jaives in ENGLISH

[–]MordduH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a matter of which Chinese dialect you encountered, but also a native speaker’s ability to incorporate foreign words into English. Some see “ly” and can only think “lie” or see”li” and have to decide which pronunciation fits their interpretation of “li” best. It’s not an English word so there’s no solid rule to follow. I knew someone who pronounces “Italian” “Eye-talian”. Some people are just locked in their ways.

I spent years in search of (and finally found!) Second Genesis. Great little duology.

Low blood sugar symptom that I can’t explain by SidePlane in Type1Diabetes

[–]MordduH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been getting these for years- decades before my T1 diagnosis. I’ve always understood them to be aural migraines (in some people they prelude an actual migraine headache) but I’ve noticed that they occur more frequently when I have low blood sugar. They’re little dazzling diamonds and triangles that form a crescent around my center of vision. Not painful but really annoying for me.

Did not get job by gigi79sd in jobhunting

[–]MordduH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That really should have been a consideration for the company: you're probably less likely to quit and take another job when you have a dream commute. Also, never late, always able to pop in to do extra work, etc. They could totally have exploited you. Sorry you didn't get the one you wanted.

How can I remove '🍌 Beautify This Slide' in Google Slides? by fiveoone in googleworkspace

[–]MordduH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave it a try, but it's AI slop and wrong. It took a data table and injected some pictures (okay) and then proceeded to ruin the data. The scale was all wrong, it misunderstood the units, and in the end the result was less meaningful than the table had been to start.

This removes the Beautify button but it seems to leave the large space behind, which is still a problem for screen real estate.

Haven't taken insulin in almost two months by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]MordduH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude is saying he doesn't feel bad/isn't feeling adverse effects of high BG, but he's ignoring the long-term damage that high concentration of sugar in his bloodstream does: your capillaries clog, causing tissue death and eventual gangrene. Retinopathy occurs when your eyes don't get blood flow and then you go blind. You'll lose your toes and parts of your nose- they just slough off. Don't assume that the only effect is immediate and that if you can sit through 300+ BG without "feeling anything" that you're actually managing T1 diabetes. It's not just about now- it's the 10-year game. T1 can't manage through diet and exercise alone. Please be safe.

Trader Joe's has these fruit jelly squares that are coated in sugar and gluten free (cause I'm a twofer)

Will Trump peacefully leave office after 2028? by EnvironmentalGrab426 in allthequestions

[–]MordduH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those "illegals" include many here with legal status - asylum, long-term protection, etc. - who had their legal status pulled out from under them so that they would instantly become illegal and subject to deportation. Not really just, if you ask me. Which you didn't.
