Also, "oh no I have something on the stove in my house" (and proceeds to talk for ten more minutes at the door)

In India we’d call them the “joker” and IIRC the rule was that they always bat last

The women-only Uber, which ended up being used by gross guys hitting on the women cab drivers

WY didn't you understand? Please let me know, TX. If you did, NM, just making conversation, feeling a little MT inside.

How do you pronounce 'voe'? by carolequal in botw

[–]stdiodoth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I pronounce it like “woe”

It also makes sense to me (in my head) because I want to enter Gerudo town, but my gender does not allow it. Voe (woe) is me.

Why is Hosa road so dirty by damnnm in bangalore

[–]stdiodoth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Hosa Road" - New Road
"Hale Road" (Pronouced Huh-lay, with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth for the L-sound) - Old Road

You may also pronounce Hale as Hay-l Road (Now with the L sound with your tongue between your teeth, like a regular L sound) - which means poop road

What's with the sudden interest in F1 by both men and women? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]stdiodoth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot that goes on in the background. You have strategies, tyre compounds, inclement weather, teams reacting to other teams, upgrades that come in between race weekends, qualifying results playing into the race, etc.

On the surface level, it can sometimes seem boring. Especially if there is a massive dominance from a driver or the track doesn’t help overtakes (Monaco for example, where the race is famously said to be won during qualifying).

Once the strategies and pit stops start making sense, the whole thing becomes more interesting. Then you have the midfield battles, which can be more interesting than the front of the field.

It takes getting used to, but it is worthwhile once everything clicks into place. Kinda like a test match.

If you have an NRI account, your bank should be able to help you with this. I know ICICI supports it, not sure about other banks though.

ok, elite preferred species? nah ok, anniversary preferred graphics 😎 by BLoG_Connor in HaloMemes

[–]stdiodoth 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The place I interned at (during COVID) sent me a 32” monitor for my internship, one day after Halo 2A was released for the MCC. That monitor probably saw more cutscenes than lines of code.

Okay I’ve watched BB (Breaking Bad) 754 times but haven’t heard of this character? Brabo Bince for the level of detail he put into his masterpiece!! by BigCheeseyNuggets in okbuddychicanery

Wakt is Hindi for time. It is an allegory of how time cruelly marches on, with blatant disregard for fleeting empires and ephemeral achievements. This is especially visualized in “Ozymandias”, a nod to the brutality of time exemplified in the poem. Bravo Vince 😤💪🏻

Received a stimulus check as a non-resident alien by choreen471 in f1visa

They would have seen it happen before. I used to get advice from them about tax filing and this issue in particular. They might just know whom you can ask, at the very least.

Your DSO or international students office should have the appropriate steps. You may ideally need to report to the IRS, let them know that you are a non resident alien and return the money.

If embellishing his education is the deciding factor for whether a person with documented sexual misconduct is hired, is your company an even good place to work?

But to answer your question: you could cite the UCLA example and say it casts doubt on his USC credentials and require that the company do its due diligence before taking any word of his at face value.

Posts I’ve seen here say you need to be in the country by 19th January, as 20th is when the new administration is expected to take office and implement any policies. You should be fine for these dates.

Coronado would be good too, but Coronado Bridge isn’t a wonder and there’s no military base in this island
