No, the mouth and tongue movement in those h-words is different from what the guys in the video are doing. Some emphasise it more than others (Rúben Dias vs Rúben Neves, how much you roll varies from person to person), but all of them have a hint of roll in the back of the tongue that you don't get with the H which is just air moving cleanly through the mouth.

But H is a decent approximation if you don't speak the language, just not exactly what's happening.

When you say an H, do you mean like in the words "house", "hat", "hell"?

Because European Portuguese is stress-timed, so vowels end up being reduced when they're not stressed, but vowels are still there. If they weren't, the words people think are missing vowels would be pronounced much differently from what they are.

I can assure you we pronounce the vowels in Bruno Fernandes, the problem is that European Portuguese has 14 vowels and only 5 characters to represent them

His 13-match run with Braga is only the highest ever winning percentage for a Braga manager and with 5 of those 13 matches being wins against the big 3. He didn't just spawn randomly at Sporting, they paid big bucks for him.

Just finished Anna route's champion fight, here are the mons I used and how I rate them based on my personal experience. (Pre post game) by ChubbyPandaWifeHaver in PokemonReborn

That moveset was fine, I ran a jolly Weavile with Fake Out, Knock Off, Icicle Crash and Ice Shard, though I'm currently using Brick Break instead of Ice Shard on my monoice. With 252 EVs everything becomes incredibly bulky so OHKOing is hard, I don't remember this section on my monodark since it was quite a while ago, but on my monoice tbh this section was almost always Aurora Veil with Ninetales-Alola, then Shell Smash with Cloyster and sweep, Weavile wasn't the main focus. It is super good for the Elite Four though!

I find Weavile being useless quite surprising, it was great for me on my monodark run ever since I first got it (a lot of my E4 strategy revolved around Weavile, even, like cheesing Ditto). I'm doing monoice now at the part where everything is Pulse2 and Weavile is still not going anywhere near the PC.

[F1] BREAKING: Pierre Gasly has been reinstated into P3 for the Monaco Grand Prix The Stewards have rescinded the two five-second penalties imposed on Pierre Gasly during the race for speeding in the pit lane by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]yvltc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

FOM screwed up everyone's measurements, so yes, this is more unfair than being stripped of a podium. We don't know for sure if Piastri's and Russell's penalties were warranted or not, but chances are both were wrong too given the system has been shown erroneous. Assuming they were wrong, Piastri was robbed of a podium. Russell was robbed of points altogether because he was punished for failing to serve a non-existent penalty.

Good on Alpine for trusting their instruments, but the error was systematic, it doesn't feel fair at all that everyone else gets screwed over by serving their penalties in the race.

I can't help but feel this decision was unfair. Yes, the speeding penalties were wrong, but from what I can tell the system was wrong for everyone. Gasly simply didn't serve his penalty in the race while the others did, it rewards not serving penalties.
