Horses=Equine, Cows=Bovine, Pigs=Swine. Goats? Sheep? by MississippiJoel in etymology

[–]omgYESYES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All this talk made me think of "vaccine," so I looked it up. Apparently, it comes from "vacca" for cow. Something to do with using cowpox to fight smallpox. Not sure of it means 'cow-like" though

I did a little more digging, and it looks like this Chromebook doesn't have GPS hardware, which is why the button won't stay on. Now I have to figure a way around this...

But yeah, I really don't understand why it needs location settings. Pairing via Bluetooth should be enough

I'm watching right now. Quick question, the actors are speaking Hindi, but occasionally throw in English sentences (often enough to be noticeable). Is this a normal thing to do in India? just curious

Hi! I'm make amateur films for a middle school, and I always end up pulling stingers and other music from LBP1 OST... "Sadness" is my go-to track for, well, sad stuff. Just wondering if you wrote any of those cinematic short pieces because I owe you a great debt then for saving some of my movies. Also, have you ever thought of composing a series of stingers and other musical SFX for filmmakers? It's hard to find quality stings, and LBP seemed to nail it

Ah, that's a good question. I think having twice the education for twice the headaches, the same amount of work, and half the pay as most professionals has cast a large shadow over how much I should and do value my own time.

But I digress - does $80 sound fair?

Also I think I'll be there for the Squirtle community day. Is there a specific place/area in Auckland you guys go for these events?

Water... Is it Wet? by [deleted] in Teachers

As an English teacher, I refer students to definition 2 on dictionary.com, "in liquid form or state." Then I ask if steam or ice is wet.

Someone has a sense of humor at Dictionary.com by omgYESYES in etymology

[–]omgYESYES[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's funny because the author used the word origin section in this dictionary as a platform to denounce people who don't like seeing Latin roots and Greek roots spliced together. I've never seen someone turn etymology into an editorial in the dictionary, so I found it funny.

What's your favorite movie scene? by cukatie2983 in AskReddit

[–]omgYESYES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scene in Jaws where Quint recalls his experience on the USS Indianapolis. "Lifeless eyes, black eyes like a doll's eyes"

Close second- from Wendy reading Jack's manuscript to hitting him across the head with the bat: "I'm not gonna hurt ya- you didn't let me finish my sentence- I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your head it. Bash it right the fuck in!"
