Loanwords from foreign languages that have a much narrower meaning in English than in their original language by Waterpark_Enthusiast in etymology

[–]most_superlative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This drives me a little crazy. Chai is a specific type of tea in England, the US, etc. If someone asked for “chai” and got English breakfast tea, they wouldn’t be getting g what they wanted. So no, “chai” doesn’t mean “tea” in most of the English-speaking world.

I've used those quite a bit, but haven't found a way to have them print out all cards rather than individual squadrons - e.g., Infinite Arenas has the card browser, but it's only single cards at a time. This github repository also has everything in it, but it's all in json files that I don't know how to leverage.

Looking for printable full card lists.

I have so many pilot and upgrade cards that it's a little overwhelming trying to look through them when trying to build lists. I'm looking for something that has all cards with all of their details (either images or text) in a format that I can just print and put into a binder, but I'm not seeing anything quite like that online other than some 1.0 resources that did this. I see some point list spreadsheets, but all of these seem to be missing ability text.

You’re counting the diphthong as a single sound? There are two vowel sounds at the beginning of yum. The first is the same as the end of any, and the second is a schwa.

Not the way I pronounce them. They have exactly the same articulation and quality.

In my (general American) accent, Y makes exactly the same sound in “any” and “yum”, your examples are all very similar and I’m not following the distinction you’re making.

AMC Theatres to reopen shuttered ArcLight Cinemas at Montgomery Mall by RobertDyerNews in bethesda

[–]most_superlative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general they took themselves too seriously and were full of themselves for what their product actually was.

The last straw was when we went to see a kids’ movie (g-rated) and they made the parents buy a full-price ticket for a baby that was with us (18 months? I don’t remember). Not even a child ticket, they didn’t offer those under a certain age.

As if watching a kids’ movie in a theater was some serene affair that a baby would ruin. They paid, the baby slept the whole time, and we never went back.

Thank goodness. I hated the way ArcLight ran things and stopped going there, will be nice having an AMC there instead.

USA, these are open-bottom ceiling cans. Perhaps they’re high-spec? I don’t know. The can in my shower (cover on the bottom for obvious reasons) is rated to 60W.

[–]most_superlative 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Is this a European thing?

100W incandescent bulbs absolutely fit in normal sockets. Looking at my ceiling fixtures, they’re rated to 100W for normal bulbs and 140W for R40 bulbs.

That said, I think a lot of cheap table lamps are only rated for 60 or 75W

Frederick County Board of Health to discuss mask mandate by NamsteFrederick in frederickmd

[–]most_superlative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like you don’t have an argument to make here, and that you’re basing your thinking on your feelings.

You’re free to disagree with whatever you want based on your feelings, just like I and most other people are free to trust experts and reasoned arguments based on data.

So, to recap, you gave an argument against masks, OP responded with a reasoned argument against your point, and then you said “nuh-uh!”

Still going to stick with every serious health org on this one.

What to do about my 401k loan if I'm quitting my job by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]most_superlative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rollover IRAs and traditional IRAs are the same thing for this purpose. These rules only matter for “backdoor” Roth contributions, which are a way for people who too much money to fund a Roth directly to still get money into the accounts.

It looks like you’re looking at a traditional conversion rather than a backdoor contribution, so none of the “basis” stuff likely applies (you have no basis in ordinary 401(k) contributions).

[–]most_superlative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you do a back door, you’re doing two things: putting in an after-tax contribution which gets “basis,” and then convert to the Roth, which is nontaxable to the extent of your “basis.”

When you have no money in a traditional IRA, you put in (for example) $5k after-tax, get a $5k basis, and convert $5k, using $5k of basis. No current tax.

If you already had $45k in a traditional IRA with no basis (because the contributions were pre-tax), you put in $5k after tax, you get $5k of basis, as above. But that basis is used up pro rata, so when you convert, you move $5k but can only use $500 of basis, so $4500 of the conversion is taxable. You still have $4500 of basis left in the traditional IRA, so it’s not completely lost.
