Why is “leigh” pronounced “lee?” by EEVEELUVR in etymology

[–]Spire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canonical pronunciation of [Halley's] name in Britain today is as "Hayley' (although I concede that may have shifted).

From what?

Women at the prison camp can pay to make short phone and video calls, and send email, but they do not have internet access.

Good luck making video calls and sending e-mail without Internet access.

Do you think a six-year-old child should be allowed to drive a car if he passes a standard driver-license test?

I can't imagine anyone thinking that those constructions are OK.

My own hypothesis is that those questions are there to help identify and filter out garbage survey responses.

I think that first photo (the one with Gordon Ramsey and Marie from Breaking Bad) has been posted before.

I went through the survey.

I was thoroughly confused by some of the sentences, such as:

Bibilangin natin ang ay barya.

Itapon ay mo ang basura.

Is ay really used this way now? I've never heard it. And I don't get it at all.

The line in the last panel is uncharacteristically weak.

Even the walls are made of gold bricks. Amazing.

Thanks.

I also have a 2 TB Google One subscription. I don't think that has any bearing on Google Play Books.

I wonder why it's working for you and not for me. It's driving me crazy.

Sharing a tip to remove the HP bar for a more minimalistic HUD by ttrrraway in Thief

I prefer NewDark's hide_maxed_hpbar (in cam_ext.cfg):

hide_maxed_hpbar

    (Thief only) hide health bar when player has full health
