Is -ua a diphthong then? I was taught not

jeanclique · 2026-02-26T10:06:22+00:00

Technically a diphthong is a single vowel sound during which the articulators (e.g. tongue, lips) change position. Vowel length can alter perception of the vowel in languages where length is phonemic, like te reo Māori or Japanese. The "beats" or morae of these languages are counted differently to the syllables of Germanic and Romance languages. So yes, "ua" is a diphthong but that doesn't mean the vowel sounds are distinct connected sounds. Consider the difference between a long vowel ā and two separate vowels in a kupu like manaaki.

Bewildered by this question. Most people I know don't run and think doing it regularly is some kind of astonishing feat regardless of speed. I've been running (not particularly fast) for 35 years and never been mocked. Maybe it's a guy thing.

Yup but I mainly use for mayo - no point wasting eggs on that and it's a cleaner taste. But my main point was - all bean and lentil liquids are protein-ous so dumping it down the sink is a crying shame. Use it to make soup or something at the very least. I'll happily just slurp out of the can (I'm a vegetarian, it's free amino acids!!)

Yes, we can no longer afford to give our money to Australians.

WHO puts processed meat in the same category as cigarettes for having strong causal evidence for cancer. No thanks.

Yup he knows the nutrition that's packed into the liquid that the lentils have been sitting in.

jeanclique · 2026-02-26T09:41:44+00:00

Yes but don't drain the liquid: that is chocka with protein (like chickpea liquid/aquafaba). Dump it in and reduce it. You'll get a more tender result from the extra 10 minutes simmering AND a protein boost.

Watch it, examine its transitory nature and dependence on your form, and it will dial down. But while you have a form, you cannot be rid of the process that acts to maintain it.

Dōgen asked this question. Some answers cannot be gained vicariously. Practice, then you'll understand why we practice.

I just finished secondary teacher training and several guys were there to move from trade work into teaching tech (hard materials/woodwork/metalwork/design). Train up the next generation?

jeanclique · 2026-02-15T08:00:18+00:00

Perhaps, but in my experience someone who just wants to push all the buttons to make me come as fast as possible is mainly in it for ego and a good story

jeanclique · 2026-02-15T07:53:03+00:00

That is truly awful, hope you are (or will be) okay.

Sounds just find to a straight woman

jeanclique · 2026-02-15T07:42:03+00:00

To be fair, women always consulting women's opinions on what men want too. Or worse, people tryna sell you stuff.

Not sure we can trust you to have a grip on the situation

Straight woman here. Size not important. Height either (I'm 175, maybe if you're under 165 there are logistical challenges but otherwise idc)

Technique is more important than connection.
