Much better. I take back my Emma Peel comparison; Emma was sultry and challenging, while this girl looks merely pouty.

As for the other painting, the black-haired girl looks as if she's about to bust you for not respecting her pronouns. And the redhead, she's cute enough, but you know she's going to run to fat in a few years. . . .

And lets you detect cognates with the Romance languages more easily. When I was in high school Spanish class, the class was puzzled when the teacher described the Spanish "solamente" ("only") as a cognate. That doesn't make sense unless you also know "sole" or "solely."

Knowing Latin-derived English words like "pensive" helped me enormously in first-year (and later) Spanish. "Pensar" = "to think." It always amazed me that my classmates in 2nd-year and later could not understand the idea of gerunds in Spanish, "-ando," "-endo," etc. I finally realized that most of them couldn't get the idea in English, either.

On the pendejo topic, knowing old English words helps with Welsh. For example, the Welsh word for writing is ysgrifennu, which sounds a lot like scrivener. And the word for rabbit is cwningen, which sounds like coney.

(Knowing new English words helps too. Guess what "jîns" means?)

I've heard a counter to that.

It just proves that America is racist even more. You know why? Because Americans hate blacks who lived her for their whole lives more because of their culture. And no, that doesn't make the reaction any less racist.

I don't know what it's like where you all live, but in southern Indiana you don't have to drive far into the country before you start seeing the Trump flag + Confederate flag combo on porches and sheds. I don't really get it, personally, but I hate reinforcing the idea that it's probably racist.

192 From the interesting department: Latin for window is something like fenester, which gives you the English word defenestration as well as the various Latinate words for window, fenetre or finestra or whatever. The English word window comes from the Old Norse words for wind and eye.

Meanwhile, in German, it's Fenster, and in Welsh, it's ffenestr. This just intrigues me so much. Why did the Norse-derived word persist in English? (And I just checked, and the Dutch word is venster. Danish is ventue.)

193 I always enjoy Tissot's paintings for the way he utilizes light and color and detail. Also, the way he captures realistic expressions on his models. The scene may not be of historic or philosophic importance but they are at least pleasant. This one catches my eye because of the contrasts: the bright figure of the woman against the darker background of plants and water, and the utilitarian wood and structure of the boat against the so feminine gown and throw.

Beyond the obvious artistic talent Tissot displays he illustrates a scene so well, prompting the viewer to seek more information about the image and characters.

Because English is a Germanic language but routinely goes rifling through the pockets of every other language for useful words. It's why our language is so rich and so flexible and so expressive, but also why the grammar is full of exceptions and the linguistic roots of our vocabulary are all over the place. The people speaking it probably liked the Norse word better, so it stuck. Just like how we sometimes manufacture words. Like the Latinate "autumn" for this season, even though the native word in English in the German-derived "fall" but someone wanted a prettier word...

Just pulled that song up. Having a hard time isolating the drums. I recognized the drum loop for its use in Erik B and Rakim "Paid in Full" -- but that most certainly could have been a sample. I don't think it's a sample in "Come Undone" (a fantastic song, by the way) -- seems more like live drums on that track, but it is definitely a similar beat.

252 Too many vowels for Welsh.
Posted by: rickb223 at November 05, 2021 09:14 AM (OCTRt)
++++
Yes, that word is an oddity. As many have noted, Welsh words often lack traditional vowels and makes extensive use of the semivowel "y" in many positions. Few, however, know the reason for this.

During the various wars for dominance in what is today the United Kingdom, the Welsh were rarely dominant but also rarely capitulated. This caused extensive, long-term conflict between the Welsh and the dominant English. In the lead-up to the Acts of Union in the 16th century, England thoroughly defeated Wales but feared a recurrence of Welsh opposition and non-cooperation. To help preclude this possibility, the English dispossessed Wales of a majority of its vowels following their military victories. As the number of vowels was eroded, Welsh communication was impaired. It also led to significant vowel inflation in English, with such constructions as "colour" becoming the norm in order for the language to absorb the vowel surplus effectively. When Britain became an imperial power, the colonial outposts often dropped the surplus constructions, as vowels were no longer oversupplied.

University of Texas

University of Texas employees donated over $1,340,890 to liberal candidates and organizations and only $89,323 to conservative entities.

Over 95 percent (95.17%) of UT employees who donated during the 2020 election cycle were Democrat and just under 5 percent (4.83%) were Republican.

See? Republicans are properly represented in academia. In fact, there's an argument that they're overrepresented. America really is a socialist country, you just need to look at the election of AOC to prove that.

In fact, the more I think about these numbers, the madder I get. Republicans really should be purged from academia completely with their racist views that murder transexuals of color on a daily basis. We should probably just murder everyone who identifies as not a Maoist.

Much body english was employed to nudge her in a different direction. To Daytona Beach, FL and the 9-11 flight training school that's also a pretty good engineering school. She graduates next May.

Of course. And productivity will continue to fall. I put a comment about this on the last thread, too. They are destroying the desire to work hard. Not just because of the so-called "safety nets" but because far too many now realize that their management actually hates them. You don't work hard for someone who hates you. You'll work hard enough to not get fired, but you're not going to give it your all.

Productivity is falling and it is going to keep falling. Over the next 6-36 months, people are going to start raising alarms over falling production and productivity but not one of them will figure out why.

402 Seawolf class SSN's: Seawolf, Jimmy Carter and Connecticut.

USS Jimmy Carter is a one off modification and considered a sub-class in its own right. Longer that the other two subs to accommodate Navy Seals and the various gear they have (mini-subs, ROVs, etc.) as well as underwater cable tapping gear and "stuff" for the various black ops the submarine is typically used for. All boats in this class were also designed so they can sit on the ocean floor and not get stuck.

If true that the Connecticut hit a previously unmapped seamount it's amazing the damage isn't more severe. For comparison look for pictures of the USS San Francisco that also hit an underwater mountain. One sailor on that boat died as a result and the sub was nearly totaled. It took 4 years before it returned to service.

About five years ago, NASA Johnson Space Center tried to reduce Center operating costs by reducing janitorial services. We were told restrooms would be only once a week instead of daily, and the few remaining janitors would no longer empty office waste baskets - we'd have to empty them in the outdoor dumpsters ourselves.

That plan lasted about two months before it was dumped by the Center Director (pun intended) and she restored the former services. Good luck to Fed employees in their soon-unsanitary office buildings!

"People now realize that they have more options and more flexibility and can work for firms in other states. Many people are taking advantage of that." Also discussed: the work-from-home schemes. In a recent survey, the number of people in the company who want to return to the office is essentially nil. The number of people who want to sometimes work in the office is low. The company would like to move to a hybrid scheme (something like three days in office, two days from home) but is tabling it because they have concluded that such a requirement would cause attrition to dramatically accelerate to the point of significant business risk.

Back in the late 80s I failed a room inspection in the Navy because I had a Confederate flag on my wall and the black command master chief was offended.

I confronted him. Asked if I'd ever shown him one iota less respect that his position deserved. He said no. Had he ever see, or heard of, me treating anyone with less than the respect they deserved. Again, no. I pointed out that the flag was displayed in my private area - insofar as such exists in the military - and he could always refrain from entering if his sensibilities were threatened. He changed the grade.

That was a better outcome than the female officer who got her panties in a bunch over a Carol Alt poster.

Sometimes, it's functional, like the emancipated boyish fashions of the '20's or the fabric- saving restrictions of WWII.
But mostly, it's just "we're tired of this, let's do something different".

532 I'm remote and my whole team is too, nationwide- always has been. But the home office folks have announced and delayed a hybrid return to Palo Alto 2x a week plan twice now, for the office drones. Originally was supposed to go into effect in Oct, now Jan. Pushback is huge. I expect more delays. Also announced Vax requirement for all non- remote staff, again, lead ballon.

We've been able to do hybrid since July of 2020 due to lax local regs, but there aren't a lot of takers. No vax required (yet, but the millennial employees are demanding they mandate it. HR and management have resisted thus far).

538 >>> 426 Just finished a quarterly results call. Attrition is *way* up. The identified cause: work-from-home. "People now realize that they have more options and more flexibility and can work for firms in other states. Many people are taking advantage of that." Also discussed: the work-from-home schemes. In a recent survey, the number of people in the company who want to return to the office is essentially nil. The number of people who want to sometimes work in the office is low. The company would like to move to a hybrid scheme (something like three days in office, two days from home) but is tabling it because they have concluded that such a requirement would cause attrition to dramatically accelerate to the point of significant business risk.

Well a lot of them are going to be out of work soon if they weren't already let go because they wouldn't take the shot. So it'll get harder, not easier to find a doctor willing and able to treat you before you are in hospital. There is no approved pre hospital treatment.

At least it would be a reason. Example of the difference between Boston and NYC. People think NYers are rude, but they're not - they're just in a hurry.

Me, in NYC: Excuse me, can you please tell me where to find the subway station?
NYer: :: vague handwave :: It's that way a couple of blocks.

Me, in Boston: Excuse me, can you please tell me where to find the subway station?
Bostonian: :: stops, looks me right in the eye, pauses :: Go fuck yourself.

And in Boston, that exact exchange happened three times in a row, until an unpleasant woman swore at me and called me a retard but did give me directions.

Black people don't do that in America. They insist on having a distinct, separate culture where they have their own food, music, clothes, churches, slang, dialect, etc. Its the only nation on earth that does this, every other country, everyone is like whoever they grew up near.

604 You've lost faith in the medical system? You mean the one that never caught any problems with my husband's liver, including the two days he spent in the hospital with sepsis? The sepsis caused by the lympoderma that they never treated and never referred him for treatment? That medical system?

I think it's time for dying at home to make a comeback. Go to the doctor or the hospital for the few things they can do, like surgery. (Although my husband had a five hour hip replacement surgery too.) I don't go to the doctor unless I have to.

607 I've seen lots of white women on the Twats shrieking that Joy Reid is right and the "lived experience" of black people proves that Winsome is whiter than Frosty the Snowman.

"Lived experience. " ? She has a point.. If as a Black woman you choose to have multiple baby daddies and live on the dole all your life I imagine your lived experiences would be different from a Black woman who worked hard all her life to be something...

Maybe mom should have taught the little asshole that "no means no" and that he didn't have the right to just force himself on any girl who declined. If mom had spent more time on that instead of telling her son that he was really a girl, he probably would have been better off.

610 Is this a more recent thing? I remember when Lenny Wilkens was playing and coaching (Yes, I'm that old) and his Brooklyn accent was obvious.

Most blacks can swap between the local accent and the "black" accent depending on what group they are among. I mean we all do this to a certain extent: we'll speak and behave slightly differently around our grandparents than around our peers for example. They just take it to a nearly schizophrenic level. Baldilocks and I have gone around about this in private chat a few times. She's grown up with it and sees it as perfectly normal. I view it as pernicious and bizarre.

Its like having white people who speak like everyone around them, then when in small groups together talking with an outrageous Irish accent and dancing jigs while playing the pipes, because its "their culture".

The truth is all medical care is expensive, we just don't see how it's paid for.

617 I've heard repeatedly that Boston is the most openly racist city in the US. Many liberals even admit it even though it defies their "it's just inbred Southerners that are racist" narrative.

You heard right. White as I am, I have a familial connection, via marriages, to former Celtics captain Bill Russell. The things I heard from his son about the racist crap he put up with here are unreal. So, yeah, tell me how it's only those inbred southern hicks who are the racists....Allow me to introduce you to Southie....

This pill is NOT new. It's been around for over a decade. Ironically, employed to treat - equine encephalitis.

Unlike some other therapeutics, including safer meds like ivermectin and fluvoxamine, this one has modest efficacy and is more dangerous. It's a mutagen.

620 I have heard about a movement, I think it's called Boutique Medicine, but I am likely wrong on that. Anyway, it is cash only doctors. Supposedly there are clinics like that here where we live, but I haven't looked into it very much.
==
Concierge or boutique medical practice. It has been around a while. Need a locale that will be able to supply several hundred people willing to pay 3-5K subscription fees for yearly service. Sometime people try to get their insurance company to pay for some or part of it. The docs don't bill your insurance.
You pay a yearly subscription fee and then you get private doctor service. They come to your house for house calls if needed. So it maybe they charge 4 or 5 grand a year and have about 250 patients for one doctor. In a normal medical practice these days you have thousands and thousands and thousands of patients and you can't see them most of the time because you are overbooked. If you want to able to see your doctor at a moment's notice, literally call and he says, come on over I'll see you when you get here, that's how you do it.

They outlawed this in Canada for obvious reasons. It will be outlawed here eventually.
