There is nothing alarmist about raising the alarm when one candidate wants to bring back the spoils system to give regulatory power to the world's richest man, and leadership of some of the most important health organizations in the world to an anti-science, disturbed individual who mutilates roadkill. It is objectively alarming when a candidate for leadership of the most powerful military complex in history cozies up to dictators and admits that he would like to be a dictator, just for one day. This candidate himself will be serving a final term and has displayed questionable mental health, and is facing significant criminal and civil liability and therefore has nothing to lose.

Make no mistake, this election is between more of the same, with many of the negatives it implies, and an inflection point in world history the likes of which we have not seen since perhaps 1985.

In practical speech though, the tones get reduced to something like 2-3.

My opinion on why Thai shows up this way is that pronouns and articles are often omitted, and a lot of meaning comes from very short end of sentence particles, and different vocabulary for different registers.

It is multiplexed with five tones and a variety of different registers to signify relationship, status, and variable interplay between the two based on situation.

I did one where I went through a few rounds of interviews, technical and otherwise. In talking with the developers, they mentioned that they were trying to integrate a certain client side framework into their backend frameworks build process, without success. Get to the final stages, and the director of engineering asks me to work on this take home project to, you guessed in, integrate the js framework into the build process of the backend framework.

I sent them a strongly worded rejection email. It was a realreal eye opening experience.

The golf debate was the wtf are we even doing moment for me. It turned out to be a very powerful moment that allowed a new democratic candidate to rise above two old men blathering about their golf game.

Nah mobile homes are built to poor standards with poor materials, while most tiny houses are built to the same standards as a stick-built regular house. It's more like exchanging size for quality.

I live in an area of the country where mosquitoes are a year round nuisance. Think mangroves and tropical weather. Thermacell devices actually work, unlike just about every other device out there.
