Machli (fish) is too generic, I think. "Hawai kashti" is probably right. I don't know if it's in use. Most likely the word is Hovercraft.

And 99.999% of Facebook users won't care. Most of those that do, can't leave Facebook because of "events." The rest of us will keep preaching to each other about how we're in a better place having never been of Face

> The world is relatively peaceful because the US is more powerful than all other nations combined. This not true. The US and it's allies are constantly at war somewhere in the world. Chomsky has written extensively about this

I left Facebook. But mainly because I realised that it's a real poor way to keep in touch with anyone. Gives you the feeling that you are keeping in touch when in reality you are just sharing photos and quotes in a medium that's v

Didn't think of that, haven't tested it but strongly doubt it. I'd expect a faulty wire to crackle predictably when moved which isn't what I experience.

My kids seem manage Shanghainese, Urdu, English (in RP, cockney and a Pakistani accent) pretty well. I was surprised to hear my son (at the time only four) say "Hiro is the hero Big Hero 6." Pronouncing both Hiro and hero correctl

I don't much like what Damore appears to say but in fairness that sentence does not say "less capable". That he uses "in part" and "may explain" means that it doesn't say much at all while appearing t
