I suppose all those children speaking both Hungarian and Latin will have no problem with the Latin name of this creature named after a Hungarian biologist

Halal finance is an entire massive industry. Because taking interest is a sin in islam (based), and used to be in Christianity too. Ursury.

My partner is quite a fan of the Ollie Richards story learning books. I think they have a couple of those for Spanish.

Not in the uk. Was shocked to see depictions of "drug stores" in American media as a child.

He's mad that people are selling stuff in the temple when it should be holy (and commercial activity is NOT holy)

It's a fair critique. I suppose i personally dont really know many pundits that aren't of this type of another. I wouldn't say TV ones or YouTube or podcasts any other place would be a better (though my suspicion is YouTube has the greatest reach but I wouldn't assume any particular subculture from it was world changing or universally known or whatever, the culture is too deeply fragmented)

As for the groups discussions, I suppose I don't think "pundits" as a concept is really that important to us. It's like asking what literary critics a writers group talks about a lot, we're more interested in the politics than talking about the people talking about the people talking about the...

Kinda the whole point is that we want to think about the interesting problems ourselves and what we can do about it rather than having other people do that for us

I'm in a leftist group that regularly discusses politics. I know one guy who follows him, and regularly talks like this (he's the biggest happening thing, a huge voice on the left etc)

Noone else thinks about or talks about him. I'm not here to trash on the guy, hes probably fine. It's more a point about the usefulness of twitch as a political project. It's a deeply insular place. Much like it's annoying when people act as though niche twitter stuff is world news

Thousands is a bit of an understatement, there were over 500 organisations present. Police say 50,000, organisers say up to 500,000

This was me. I feel it's damn near a miracle I got through university. Make good friends people. Get together with them regularly to study.

Some professors made slides with information in. Some had unrelated pictures where they presumably said the important info. You can guess which classes were hard for me based on that alone (even when id use the course books for those)

It's a common criticism but do you think a reasonably smart person couldn't struggle through it? I reckon they'd be especially likely to succeed if they were equipped with a good book and some humility. Humility can't be given but pieces of advice can. Do you have any good ones?

Isn't it already illegal in most countries? Everywhere I've lived there are dB maximums, plus extra penalties for modifying exhausts to be loudee etc or loud music
