They’re talking about assisted living facilities, for anyone lost in the pond.

An alternative would be to replace the movement.

Could be easier than fussing with the contacts.

I work in electrical power delivery for municipal transportation, supervision-level. Before that, I was a shoreside engineer (basically a mechanic, not an engineering degree) in marine services. My work has always come very organically, often starting in floor-sweeping assistant positions.

I’m not a linguist, but here’s how I understand it:

This is why would is so fucked: it’s used both in the conditional, and the subjunctive mood. However, nothing I see in the online resources really talks about would being used in the subjunctive.

When someone uses the phrase “would you like a coffee?” I’m nearly certain that it’s the subjunctive, polite way of saying “do you want coffee.” It’s very similar to the Spanish quieres/quisieras pair. In Spanish you get an irregular conjugation, but in English, the whole verb changes from to be to will.

As a non-linguist, native speaker, these mood changes come naturally to me. I never had to study them. As a second language learner, this is always one of the most brain-melting facets of a new language.

Edit: “do you” obviously isn’t exactly using the verb to be. I’m not sure what to call that expression. It seems like it could be its own post. This is giving me a headache. This post gets into it, but doesn’t really give the specific answers that I suspect you’re looking for.

Truly unbelievable language. I love it. So easy to start, then you hit that wall of 25-letter words.

It isn’t broken. It’s quirky, and they all are.

What I appreciate about Spanish over English is the ease of spelling and pronouncing new words. What I appreciate about English over Spanish is the ease of creating new words.

I have some limited ability/understanding in other languages, but not enough to judge. Except for French.

Wish they had a photo of the thing. That’s not a 280 ft trailer.

I’m a sober alcoholic. I probably don’t remember it.

In addition to weight, there’s cost. They would have to be integrated into the design, not just normal, flat solar panels, so there’s a significant cost increase. It’s no problem on a delivery van, but anything curvy is probably prohibitively expensive to develop and produce.

claims that the company often uses machine learning to review user projects for signs of illegal content

OK, so what happens when Florida starts deciding more content is illegal?

Literally big brother shit.

Thanks, I’ll probably just go back to Snapseed, unless one of those is a standout for design, privacy, power and simplicity.

I actually really enjoy mobile editing in Lightroom, the only mark it misses now is privacy.

I have LR installed on my laptop, but never use it. Obviously, there are drawbacks. I wouldn’t want to draw paths in Photoshop on my phone, but for quick crops and color corrections, I work faster and more efficiently on my phone. I also can do it in my spare moments, rather than sitting down to dedicate an evening to editing.

I’ll look into proton drive. Thank you!

I care, but I don’t know how else to edit my photos on my phone and seamlessly back them up.

I use Lightroom on a Google Pixel. It costs $10/mo for a terabyte of storage and an editor that’s constantly being updated. I’m not arguing that it’s the best option, I just don’t know any solid alternatives.

If anyone else has a solution this use case, essentially the same as someone who wants to leave Google Photos’ storage/editing suite, I’d be happy to ditch Adobe.

Edit: a word

Another thing, OP, I don’t know what your definition of wild camping is, but keep it legal. The last thing you want is to have a ranger, police, or property owner show up to roust you in the middle of the night.

Look into camping permits and regulations, or just stay at a car camping site to begin with.

When I was a kid, my dad had a newspaper distribution business. We had a series of diesel box trucks. The new ultra low sulfur diesel doesn’t do it for me, but the odd whiff of the old sour stuff takes me back to my childhood.

The last time I smelled it was many years ago. I don’t really expect I’ll ever get that hit again.

This article has some amazing photo comparisons.

I don’t want to talk about it.

Alcohol used to wreck my sleep. I’d come home, dog-tired at 7 PM, have a few (and a few more) drinks, look up and 6 hours had passed.

I ended up burning out, and having to quit both booze and weed. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Along with all the obvious health, psychological and financial benefits, I sleep amazingly well now.

By Q1 2025, I should have a full implant-supported denture, replacing my top teeth. I’ve had a partial for almost a year now, as I fussed around, trying to decide how to proceed. I’ll be very glad to be done with this phase.

Then we’ll deal with the bottom ones…
