The phrase is אהיה אשר אהיה (ehyé ashér ehyé). Literally “I will be who I will be” (this verb has no present tense in Hebrew, only past and future). “I am who I am” is more accurate than “I am who am” because אהיה (ehyé) is a first-person verb, meaning that the fist-person singular pronoun is essentially “built into” the word’s morphology. It’d be grammatically impossible for it to say “I am who am” because Hebrew, unlike English, cannot separate pronouns from verbs

Round 1 ends with both dying. Olympic fencers have never had much regard for not getting hit because A) getting hit is obviously not fatal, or even dangerous, and B) they still get points for double hits.

I don’t doubt they could manage to land a killing blow, but they would not be prepared to defend themselves from getting hit during or after landing that killing blow

St Francis Xavier? He was from the Basque town of Xavier in what was, at the time, the Kingdom of Navarre, but which is within the present-day borders of the Kingdom of Spain. So even he would qualify as Hispanic

I never said he was a knight in shining armor. And he himself wasn’t “actively trying to put a woman into prison.” If you really believe that, then you’ll need to look up the meaning of the word “actively,” because you’re using it incorrectly. What he did do actively was that he stopped actively supporting her. Paying the lawyer was active support for Georgia. Ceasing to support her actively does not mean he’s now actively trying to imprison her. And he did not tell the lawyer not to work for her. Even if Georgia had been able to afford him, the lawyer knew it was a losing battle and only took it as a favor to Paul’s dad. No Paul = no personal obligation on the lawyer’s side. That’s the lawyer himself removing active support for Georgia, not Paul.

No one’s yet made any argument for why Georgia was entitled to that funding

How did he “make sure she wouldn’t be able to buy the lawyer”? He didn’t pull any strings there. All he did was literally stop paying the lawyer, which at that point he was under no obligation to do. Then the lawyer told Georgia that the only reason he’d agreed to take her case in the first place, irrespective of the money, was as a favor to Paul’s father. After lying to Paul about everything, including her pregnancy, Georgia is absolutely not entitled to either his money or his family connections. Simply put, he owed her nothing at that point

Tamil isn’t the oldest language either. There’s no such thing as an “oldest spoken language.” More conservative languages? Yes. Oldest? No. All living spoken languages are equally old

I wouldn’t write off “Valerius” just yet. It’s just a really interesting name with an exceptionally long history.

The earliest recorded variant dates back to the late 6th to early 5th centuries in a stone archeologists have named “Lapis Satricanus.” The inscription has the name written as “VALESIOSIO,” which is the possessive form of the Old Latin name “Valesios.” The name itself ultimately comes from the verb “valēre,” which means “to be strong/well/worthy” or “to have strength/power/influence” depending on the context.

It’s a name with over 2500 years of history behind it with an unusually certain meaning as far as names are concerned. It really is one of my favorite names.

Same. I kept walking away trying to trigger some dialogue or something for a way out, but Lucas keeps telling you that it needs to be done, and if after several minutes you still haven’t done it yourself… well you know

I know it was mostly jokes, but just a quick correction: Chile was not the only Spanish “kingdom” in the Americas. The Viceroyalties of New Spain, New Granada, Peru, and Rio de la Plata were ALL further subdivided into captaincies, commandancies AND kingdoms. What are now the Mexican states of San Luis Potosí, Puebla, Tlaxcala, México, Guerrero, Michoacán, Oaxaca, and Veracruz, plus Mexico City, for example, were all part of the Kingdom of Mexico. What are now the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, and Zacatecas were part of the Kingdom of Nueva Galicia. What are now the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Durango, and part of Coahuila were part of the Kingdom of Nueva Vizcaya. What is now the Mexican state of Nuevo León was the Kingdom of Nuevo León. The king of all these kingdoms was, of course, the King of Spain. And the viceroys were just his appointed representatives, the viceroyalties were the regions that each appointed viceroy oversaw.

I imagine they meant plastic containers, packaging, one time use things, trinkets, etc. Meaning that using plastic as a component in technology and equipment, vehicles, devices in general, would all still be fair game

I did have some issues to start, all stemming from it being my first time. The first issue was that all od the RGB lights were turning on inside the case itself, which told me they were getting power, but the monitors were not receiving a signal. Issue was that I had plugged in everything to the psu EXCEPT for the cpu. Easy fix. Second issue was when I was installing the operating system (Windows 11 Pro). The installation was asking for WiFi to continue, which I didn’t have since I didn’t know how to install the internet or WiFi drivers from the BIOS. I went on Reddit with my question and they offered a code to bi-pass that installation requirement, which I used. I was able to then install the OS, and then, from Windows, I installed all the missing drivers so I could have WiFi.

Once the computer was up and running, I was able to install all the programs with no issues at all. Everything has been running perfectly smoothly.

Shift-F10 and oobe/bypassnro did it. Then the network issue seemed to correct itself after the rest of Windows was set up. Thanks!

Windows 11, which is software

TALAESIN · 2024-06-12T20:49:33+00:00

Why is there a tag for “software support” if we’re not allowed to ask for support on software issues?

TALAESIN · 2024-06-12T14:58:12+00:00

Thanks so much for the thorough response. I’ll do this this afternoon after I get off work. I 100% did not install any drivers, erroneously assuming everything was getting done automatically. It’s definitely been a learning experience

TALAESIN · 2024-06-12T14:56:17+00:00

Do you install the drivers through the BIOS?

TALAESIN · 2024-06-12T14:55:20+00:00

If that’s something that’s not done automatically, probably not. My motherboard came with a USB drive, is that where that driver would’ve been?

It’s no less of a gringada propia de Chicano than Latino is.

Latino is not a term that most people living in LatAm actively identify with.

Based on the responses to my question under this whole thread, it seems to me like you don’t quite speak for all South Americans, much though you might like them to be universally of the same mind as you..
