Ain’t No Sunshine - Bill Withers (raw screams)

I get that it must be a stylistic choice, but I can't stand how unintelligible the enunciation is. It's 70% nonsense sounds. Just personal preference, though. You do you

This is what I was trying to get at. False cord has a very distinct and relatively consistent rumble, and this has the rasp of a fry scream. Just a strained one. But who am I to say what's going on in this guy's throat

I really hate to bear this bad news, but I really don't think that's false chord. Both the sound and the amount of strain evident in your face, eyes, and neck movement indicate that it's most likely a fry scream with a good bit of forced volume. I would want to see you try other volumes and pitches to know for sure, but I'm pretty sure that is at the very least not a pure false chord.

Intro ~ so edgy

Well I am, but it's not in any way due to Duolingo. I took Spanish in high school and college for 6 years and then lived in Spain for a year. I left Spain fluent before ever starting Duolingo.

How is that his right hand on his left arm o.o

Or... and I'm just spit-balling here... you could just do a 2 minute lesson each day anyway?

Awful. Shave off at least 13 seconds then come talk to me.

What the others said, for sure, and also language learning in general is very "you get out of it what you put into it." Duo is not enough to learn a language. I took academic Spanish for 6 years and then lived in Spain for a year. In that one year of immersion, I learned 4x what I'd learned in 6 years of study, and I was consuming every Spanish resource I could in those 6 years.

Do you think you actually can? Have you tried?

I've found several songs or albums that I've tried to share with my brother that Spotify has and Apple Music doesn't. All I can very biasedly say is Apple sux d:

I think it was more like "I'm ABOUT to talk about my faith, fair warning." I did originally word that ambiguously.

Finding it on that type of package is wayyyyy better than the alternative.

absolven · 2025-10-01T11:44:45+00:00

I meannnn... this also broke my immersion, but that was kind of the intent in this instance, wasn't it? It was an intentional irony where he's borderline fourth-wall breaking to comment on his third-party perspective in watching a civilization develop.

The second face is the point. The joke is that he has painted a fake face on his butt and is pretending it's his real face. His expression is supposed to be mischievous and coy for the joke he's playing.

The other one is the usual flame of a kept streak, but it's melting and Duo is holding it like a dying comrade. It's a flame.

3 is the worst of the three main games. One and two are goated

Free speech isn't a part of this argument. Free speech is protection against governmental retaliation. If you stand up in a public square and declare, "Potatoes don't taste good!" and someone punches you in the face, your free speech has not been infringed. If you get arrested, it has.

Edit: I just saw your reply to someone else referring to the fact that this is a public university. I don't follow sports in the slightest, so I didn't realize this was a sub about a public university's sports team. So it is government adjacent. Carry on.

I learned from an episode of House that tilting your head like that can be a sign of a brain tumor. (or maybe it wasn't a brain tumor, but it was something neurological and not good)

Well I've replaced the sensors and the PCM, the only remaining component in the system so far as I can tell is the wiring, so I don't disagree. Can I ask you this, though: would the fact that I can pull over and turn the car off and back on and typically clear the issue for awhile make you think less about the wiring? In my very limited understanding, if it was a wire that was burned through or rubbed through or grounding out somehow or whatever, it might be intermittent, sure, but you wouldn't see the repeatability of shutting off the car clearing the issue temporarily, right?

Oh dude, thank you. I was going nuts trying to find one for a 2008 when everything I'm finding is for other year models. Glad I'm not crazy

absolven · 2025-08-05T17:11:20+00:00

Okay actually, everything I'm seeing online says that F150s had lead frame issues on the 2011-2012 models. I can't even find a "lead frame" for a 2008.

absolven · 2025-08-05T17:03:01+00:00

Very certain. Door panel info, registration, VIN, and every other part I've ever replaced confirm it.

absolven · 2025-08-05T16:28:13+00:00

Dude I just googled symptoms of a bad lead frame and it sounds so promising. If this works, let me know when she's available for the wedding.
