@mur2501 Boys are nice. When they get snipped they become fantastic house cats. 🤗

@Acer I can see why that layout may get confusing...
Maybe you could check dictionary.com, at least they number the possible answers so you wouldn't get confused thinking that a 'jockstrap' is an enthusiastic athlete. That'd be embarassing!

@Acer A disc jockey is usually known as a DJ.

A jockstrap.. is uh.. a very interesting piece of men's clothing.. I suggest an imagesearch. 😋

@jk
Time for a desert plant and stop bothering with watering! 🌵

@mur2501
Well, it's a tiny kitten. Just try to get him a nice round belly, but not too much that it becomes hard. Together with (diluted) milk it's a lot. Feed multiple times a day.. you'll have to go with your feeling I think.

Rice isn't as bad as grain. But it shouldn't be the main ingredient for sure. Kitty has to grow.

Hehehe, for the personnel room we had ordered a 55" TV for displaying information. It was already a bit on the big side, since the original TV was like 37" or so. And since our IT said that the 55" was out of stock, they delivered a 58" instead.

Whoohoo, we can start a home cinema at job! 😁

@mur2501 Eggs is fine, lots of
nutrients. It's food. :) Rice is just a filler, they don't have an use for it in their stomach.

@biomedmax Granada is a nice place. It really reminded me of my own town, probably because it's an university city too. It's got that nice vibe.

@arteteco Maybe he's secretly a mind-reader! Time for tinfoil hats when you're thinking of new designs!

@Paradox Well, verbal sound changes is a bit tricky for me, lol. But what I do understand after chatting with a linguistics teacher about 2 decades ago is that before Shakespeare, Old English pronouncation was eerily similar to Dutch. In particular Frysian. Then Shakespeare came and ruined it all with his newfangled Modern English. ;)

I still think English people (and Frenchies) can't spell... They write so very differently from what they actually pronounce! :P
Dutch is -largely- phonetic. ;) Not always consistent, but at least I can speak it, heh.

Spanish is the best sofar I've seen. I've seen 2 Spanish-speaking deaf people talking to each other. They could lipread each other bloody fast. Guess it's so very consistent with pronouncation that they can easily do that. Just an interesting bit of trivia there.

@Paradox Aha, ð is eth? I must've misread it initially in that wiki page a little bit ago, thought it was looking like an o with an umlaut style. I need to increase my font size. >.<

Same fun stuff as when reading 'ye olde shoppe', it is actually the capital thorn, innit? So it's actually just pronounced like 'The' there. I like little weird details like that.

I suppose Dutch also has a few interesting letters like that. I don't recall the deprecated ones offhand, but in modern language we have the 'v' versus 'f', and 'ij' versus 'ei'. Except they're both very much in use despite sounding the same. I don't foresee one of those disappearing anytime soon, hehe.

@Paradox Ah an automatic feature of your instance? Hehe cool. What is eð mean though? And what are 'the voiced ones'? I'm deaf, I've never ever once heard English pronouncation. :D

@Paradox Huh, I notice you're using the thorn-letter instead of th. Cool. I'm just wondering if it's really used there in 'without', I'd have thought it'd be used in 'that' 'there' the' etc, but not in the middle of the word? Isn't that pronounced differently?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just curious!
