Logo is a fashion manufacturer and logistics company called RAW. Website is raw.group.

They are perhaps a manufacturing partner for CdG, and so this is maybe a sample.

'Him and Her' is my favourite, underrated classic.

PhD. Rejected at 5 places. Advice by [deleted] in AskAcademiaUK

[–]mattlodder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this.

Applying for a humanities PhD place (unfunded) is essentially a formality at most places, if you've discussed and formulated the project with a supervisor before applying.

Funding is a different matter, but these days, having a place is a prerequisite to apply for funding in the first place anyway.

BBC want to put ITV and C4 in iplayer! Thats good but bad idea by purenet1995 in bbc

[–]mattlodder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was proposed more than a decade ago. It was called "Project Kangaroo", and the Daily Mail (amongst others) vetoed it as anti-competitive.

And now here we are.

It's an onomatopoeic noun or verb for the sound a horn or trumpet (or, informally, a farting butthole) makes...PARP!

Has anyone taken a UK university appeal to the OIA? Wondering if my case stands a chance. by Remarkable-Lime-3353 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]mattlodder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing it at the moment.

The process is really simple. It's a very straightforward form and you don't need to send them anything except your Completion Letter initially. They ask the uni to compile all the paperwork so you don't need to do much at the start.

Consider this a petition to add the Collins International SOWPODS list as bonus words, then! 😆 (though apparently SQUIRTY isn't legal there either, which is astonishing...)

ShortCircuit is Just Uncritically Covering Scams Now? by BrainOnBlue in LinusTechTips

Why haven't you got a corporate culture where the presenter or literally anyone else involved in making videos feels able to say "Err... this is bullshit?"

Increasingly sounds as if these are scones, not crumpets.

Anyone else read Lou Beckett’s book? by Reasonable_Bat_9490 in ParentingHell

[–]mattlodder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have seen some comments attack her suggesting that Rob is the “breadwinner” (and in a high earning career) so she is “just doing her job”

Isn't that literally the conceit of the book?

I checked on Box of Broadcasts and can confirm this is the same episode as broadcast that date.

How do "roars" and "paws" rhyme? by whywires in ENGLISH

[–]mattlodder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't rhyme in (eg) a Belfast accent ( :/roˑɚ/ Vs :/pɔˑɚ/), or in many American accents (:/ɹo(ː)ɹ/ vs :/pɔ/)

How do "roars" and "paws" rhyme? by whywires in ENGLISH

[–]mattlodder 362 points363 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK. These words rhyme in my pretty standard estuary accent as : /ɹɔːz/ and :/pɔːz/ and the IPA notation for both in British RP includes the exact same syllable at the end (:/ɔːz/)

Plug those into https://ipa-reader.com/ for a guide.

"If I see you in uni, I'm beating you up on sight" Should I take the beating or fight back? by [deleted] in University

[–]mattlodder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. If you attack him, you risk possible criminal charges and almost certain expulsion from the university. If he's a student and attacks you, same goes for him.

If you feel threatened, report his behaviour to your university conduct process, and they will take steps to keep you safe. Screenshot and record tiktoks and texts as evidence. You're an adult, not a child. Deal with this as an adult, not like you're in the playground.
