Except words ending in "ma" that came from Greek ( o problema , o estigma ) which are masculine, while those from Latin ( a alma ) are feminine as expected. In Spanish it's basically the same. A Spanish teacher gave me a n

Multiple sites (e.g. Microsoft) currently ask me to use the passkey to log in after I enter my username, but the passkey doesn't seem to be stored anywhere. I usually will end up scanning the QR code to check if it's on my phone

I've lived some places where 4-way stops were just abused, like Sugarland, TX. England and Ireland are full of roundabouts, some of which are incredibly small, just a painted dot, and some are giant multi-lane white-knuckle nightmares

Sometimes it is a synonym for ACH, but it could be processed more literally as a check, with a check image and everything, and something like "Pre-Authorized Payment" written on the signature line. Usually they also let you speci

As an American, I find Fahrenheit much better for ambient temperature and body temperature, but I hate seeing it for things like melting points of materials and the like. I'm always thrown off by statements like 800-degree pizza ovens

Assuming you mean (3 ft / 2) - 12 1/16 inches, it's about 6 inches, which is probably the accuracy you need. But it's exactly 5 15/16 inches, which is also easy to do in your head. Carpenters do it all the time, a

The takeoff roll is only a minute or so to lift-off, so it's possible. But also somewhat meaningless, as an airplane can take off for free in high-enough headwinds.

It won't likely perform better as it ages but it may continue out-performing a fleet that tends to hold its value. If the maintenance cost of the electric motors and batteries along with the turbines operating at reduced power is bett

Yeah, before CrossFit it would be almost unheard of in the general population, except perhaps with the horseracing community. Still, emergency doctors, especially in a hot place like India, should be aware of it.

I can see that there is no point in continuing this conversation. I wish you the best and that you may never experience depression with your wonderously, fabulously ecstatic life.

It's nasty because of the assumption that someone who is taking medication has "buried the cause further", in other words, done something to paper over the rent in their psyche that could have been fixed some other way. In my

I enjoyed playing with this. I should do some typing tutor on my new keyboard so that I can get faster at using it. I think a typing tutor is better if it can re-sync when you have an insertion or deletion error. That is, if you miss one

I went through that same search a couple times. I felt that this was such an obvious thing that I was amazed that it didn't exist on Amazon, Aliexpress, or anything else.

One theory about large sauropods is that they were aquatic animals that propelled themselves like hippopotamuses, using their feet against the bed of the lake/river. Just as whales can get very large, so could buoyant sauropods.

TBF, the company of Wozniak would have a way around the App Store restrictions, so it's obviously not that anymore. Probably hasn't been since Sculley.
