Self hoster and lover of cheeses
the ellipses at the end of this is throwing me off lol, like there’s something you’re implying. so what? what on earth is your point lol - so that’s the solution? every monitor and tv should have the ability to rotate 90° to accommodate for the masses’ laziness/ignorance/whatever the reason is? and people should get off of their couch and walk up to their TV and manually rotate it depending on the media they are viewing?
all of this that despite the fact that yes, the screen would now be the right orientation, but it still doesn’t address the fact that portrait is just inherently the inferior choice for video (unless the video is of a single person standing upright and not moving i guess)
in terms of how people refer to it these days, you may be correct that slightly more are using the hard g. what drives me nuts about the argument though is that the ‘hard g’ crowd does not have a good argument for it. the “g stands for graphics so it should be a hard g” crowd are immediately proven wrong that that’s not how any acronyms work. the “gift” crowd are immediately proven wrong as i just did above.
just be honest with yourselves. the only argument you have is “we just like it better”. if you were honest then i wouldn’t be able to argue against it.
pan / pang
hat / hate
clam / claim
one letter can and often does completely change pronunciation. i’d give you a good ol’ fashion makin fun of, but i actually think you could’ve gotten there if you would’ve thought about for a few more seconds. you seem pretty smart. shame you clicked reply too soon.
this one also makes me irritated in general when I see it happen and sometimes angry when I find out a special moment was only captured via vertical video. Cell phones are amazing portable devices, not the end means of consuming media.
I have an ultra wide monitor at work and giant TVs in half the rooms in my house. 92% of the media I watch is on a landscape screen and the other 8% I’m pooping
but g followed by i or e very regularly makes a soft g in English (and always makes a soft g in Italian, which is irrelevant I guess but I speak both). you may as well purposely mispronounce giraffe, gelatin, germ, Giorgio, giant, gentle, etc while you’re at it since it they don’t start with a j.
by english rules it very often is a soft g, but could be hard as well, but the creator has clarified multiple times it is meant to be soft, so why are people fighting it?
If your goal is privacy/avoid tracking then you should be using GrapheneOS
I haven’t been as excited for a new era of Bears football since mayyybe the April 2007 news that we got Jay Cutler. I remember there was a ton of hype then too (which didn’t live up to the hype, even though Cutty was the best QB in my lifetime). But this really does feel different.
Damn I guess people really don’t want to talk about the draft, only downvotes so far, just trying to get a convo going in chibears. What can we do to get some conversations going that the community wants?
and now kirk signed with the falcons…
I just spun up a server, looks very nice, reallllly wish they didn’t lock down SSO and whitelabeling behind a paywall for self hosters. I’d much rather donate and keep everything open source for self hosters. Self hosting loses a lot of luster when you’re stuck behind a closed-source paywall.
Bright spot on offense for sure. Now we need a stud center and our line could be very good. Throw in a stud RG and we could be great.
I tend to just read through best-of lists and pick shows that I think are interesting off of that, which often times have fully ended. I’m watching through Deadwood now haha, I’m a little late on that one.
The last time something like that has happened to me is with Last Man on Earth.
Man I keep hearing this about the latest season, very excited to watch it
Follow up tweet:
[NBCS Chicago] The Bears said their OC interview process would ask the candidates how they’d plan to design offenses around quarterbacks with different skill sets. Waldron apparently aced that test.
I have kodi boxes on all of my TVs and play local 4k content 95% of the time, but yea I need sports and live tv occasionally. Websites work pretty well on computers but the streams on kodi addons are very bad, constant interruptions. So I can either hook up raspberry pis runnung raspbian on each my Tvs and have wireless keyboards so I can go to the streaming websites, or I try to get a paid IPTV service on kodi, which I’m trying to do right now.
I think it’s a no brainer to draft a qb. I’m guessing, but i think any talk from poles or flus about keeping all options open etc is just to maximize trade value for fields. I just don’t see a way the bears can run it back with fields after 3 seasons of bottom 7 qb play in the league, especially with the #1 pick.
As for OC… No idea there.
it doesn’t make any sense. the defense did play better as the season went on but they had one of the easiest schedules… They were playing well against Washington, Carolina, atlanta, etc. They played like absolute garbage against green bay, the chiefs, the chargers… You know, the teams with decent qbs.
I really hope they know what they’re doing because not going after harbaugh or one of the other half dozen great candidates is crazy to me
Merry Christmas eve bears nation!
There were some good vibes heading into this game with the back-to-back wins prior. Obviously that is all gone now. Coaching has overall been terrible. Sure Eberflus has done well with the defense, maybe he’s just a DC though, not a head coach.
Pan/pang- the g has a well established rule to change the pronunciation of the a? No it doesn’t lol. Words are not comparable like that in english, this is another terrible argument.
Examples: lead and lead, read and read, tear and tear, bass and bass, wind and wind. Spelled the exact same way and different pronunciations. Trying to prove how gif is pronounced based on the word gift just proves you haven’t thought about this for more than 10 seconds.
There is no grammatical argument for hard g. There is also no grammatical argument for soft g. Once again, g followed by i or e can be either in English. The only thing that should sway this is what the creator intended and straight up told everybody many times.
