It’s a copy/pasted answer from a LLM. I think relativistic effects would be significant, too

I see you’re in zone 3b - that might be too cold for azalea. Definitely check the specific species’ requirements before buying.

Good luck!

I grow azalea and rhododendron in shady areas - they seem to do well. The ones in partial shade do better than the ones in full shade, though. I’m zone 7a.

Hydrangea and Rose of Sharon may also grow in partial shade.

Interesting - is there a point at which you’d switch to saying individual digits? Like if you’re listing eight digits of pi, is it still three point fourteen million, one hundred fifty-nine thousand, two hundred sixty-five?

Good explanation, but I think you’re reading too much into “I can tell when you shift to the left.” The teacher just means that when the student shifts to their left, their head isn’t covering the poster so the AI flags the second face.

This is officially my most unnecessary comment, but I already typed it so it’s going up.

Gob was not on board

Right? Plus they’re clean and well-lit.

I’ve spent some time in North Jutland too - I don’t think I saw a bus or train. It felt much more like home in terms of needing a car.

As an American who visited Copenhagen post-covid, the public transport is amazing.

Dear god

I love it. Wiith some slight design changes (less birds ☹️) I could see this being in a diner today - updating the prices, of course.

I can’t speak to their current products, but my M400 is still going strong after 10 years of daily use. My wife’s Garmin stopped holding charge after 2 years.

Polar’s app leaves something to be desired, though.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to release a direct-to-streaming animated sequel/spin-off?

Cheers

All of the examples relate to differences in pronunciation, so the guidance in the OP is good - use your personal pronunciation. I would imagine this would be harder for non-native speakers, but fortunately there aren’t many words (that I’m aware of) that are commonly pronounced with a leading vowel sound or leading consonant sound depending of dialect.

The only example cited in this thread that most people will experience is “herb” which has large populations that pronounce it with and without a silent “h.” “History” and related words are not commonly pronounced with a silent h outside of regional dialects.

English is definitely nuts, but can you give an example of where this particular rule doesn’t apply?

Carefully read the comment you’re replying to

No, it’s cooler than that! All these vegetables are cultivars of the same species (Brassica oleracea). Citrus trees are different species with common origins.

A trick that has worked for me: pull on a finger. In a dream (probably because I’ve conditioned myself) it will stretch like taffy which was enough to indicate that I’m dreaming.

Interestingly, after a while seeing my finger stretch wasn’t enough to convince me that I was dreaming: I would question whether it was stretching enough. Like “oh, it’s only double it’s normal length, so this is probably reality.” This has also happened with other tricks I’ve tried, like try to fly (“I’m only hovering; probably not a dream”). It’s almost like you build a tolerance for particular abnormalities.

Sorry, that was longer than I meant for it to be
