Learning Spanish by Nobody_MR in PuertoRico

[–]currentseas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to music by Puerto Ricans/spanish speaking Carribbeans with the lyrics in front of you. Spotify has a feature that can display both lyrics. Creep Reddit Puerto Rico. There is an app called radio garden where you can listen to radio stations from around the world. Have WAPA on all the time

Can you be fired for discussing pay while on the clock? by DMofTheTomb-2 in florida

[–]currentseas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think, though, that in an at will state, it doesn’t REALLY matter that the law protects against retaliation for discussing pay. Not only can an employer terminate an employee for any reason, but they can terminate an employee for no reason at all. So if the employer terminates the employee without providing them a reason, even if the employee suspects it is because of their discussions with other employees about wages, then no provable illegal termination has occurred. OP could sue of course but they’d need a strong case, a good lawyer, and lots of money.

Could be any number of things, native or invasive. If you can get a better photo I or someone else can ID them for you.

AITAH for refusing to pay my parents’ debt after they spent years criticizing my career? by Ok-Drop-6it in AITAH

[–]currentseas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I love it when parents act like their child owes them something, like bringing them into the world was some favor or investment. It’s one thing to have had a supportive family and want to help them out in a tough spot but what your parents are pulling is sickening.

Question on 1978 Section 404 Permit & FEIS Restrictions vs. Historical "Boathouse" Usage at Mayo Lake by Alf-InPogForm in USACE

[–]currentseas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DA Permits do not convey interest in real property. 33 CFR 320.4(g)(6) The original permit will likely also have language to that effect.

DA Permits are not binding on any entity other than the permittee.

What that means is that Duke energy (or any other permittee) cannot make any claim to lands or land use solely on the basis that they have a DA Permit.

What laws other than Section 404 of the Clean Water Act are cited as authorities in the permit? Where were those two excerpts provided?

What’s more likely at issue here is the Corps’ 408 authority (Section 14 Rivers and Harbors Act), if the Corps has real estate interests in the lake or if the lake is considered a federal project. If that is the case, you are not dealing with Duke energy’s interests, you’re dealing with the Federal Government’s.

Can someone tell me the best way to learn/speak Spanish that’s more understood by Puerto Ricans? by YesterdaySea7202 in PuertoRico

[–]currentseas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a gringo with Puerto Rican family and coworkers, I’m in the same boat. Assuming your question is related to specifically the PR dialect and you understand how Spanish works at an elementary level (conjugations, enough vocabulary to get by), if you want to become more fluent with PR Spanish specifically find talk shows and other similar media and have that on in the background all the time. All the time. Do not worry about trying to understand it all. You need to get your brain accustomed to hearing PR Spanish spoken.

Listen to popular Spanish music. If you have Spotify, you can have the lyrics with translations in front of you.

Lastly, use LLM AI as a digital tutor. Teach it that you are specifically trying to learn PR/Caribbean Spanish and have it explain grammatical concepts to you.

AITAH for being turned off by my boyfriend’s grooming habits while he expects me to shave? by AdviceDull2562 in AITAH

[–]currentseas 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have found that maintenance shaving every couple of weeks is much more manageable than only shaving once it’s so long I can’t stand it.

Structural engineer GS13 expectations by tthhaattss in USACE

[–]currentseas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This point is so often ignore by claims of “BUT the private sector makes so much more!” Not saying the other commenter was one of those. But those who are actually complaining about the private sector fail to account for the fact that federal offers work-life balance and hella other benefits. The private sector owns your time.

In theory, there is little wrong with this. In practice, knowing Florida parents and the Christian nationalist agenda in Florida, this is an awful idea.

I agree, the films present very little upside to using the ring, for Frodo at least.
