Yeah, I'm with you there, not sure what they mean by that

A/an before a word is dependant on how the subsequent word is pronounced, not spelled. So for that sentence, the implication is that it's pronounced closer to "erb", thus "an" to precede instead of "a". Another example that's a bit counterintuitive is "one" being pronounced like "won", so you'd get "a one time thing" rather than "an one time thing".

Also funny, the klicky itself is based on the work done leading into the quickdraw probes from Annex Engineering, the rabbit hole just gets deeper.

A bit late, oops. I didn't go super far back, but I at worst saw someone explaining why people might not vote for Joe in the general, but not actively advocating for others to join them. You may not find the two to be all that different, but I consider them to be different at least.

I don't see what's odd about it, but I'll check your post history later if you suggest there's some there. I'll report back later tomorrow probably

Like I asked the other poster, do you mind linking a few? I know you said you didn't bookmark them, but surely if it's as common as is being suggested it won't take long or be too hard to find some.

Do you mind linking a few? I'm not seeing those myself

Where exactly are people saying not to vote in the general? All I'm seeing is/were calls to vote undecided in the Michigan primary

I did read it before I posted, thank you. In the same article it cited speculation it didn't revoke the original for fear it would cause more diehard originalists to splinter and form their own more dangerous group(s), not that I endorse that reasoning, just that there are reasons not to revoke outside of it being a sham PR move.

You mean to tell me that an attack on Isreal largely had Jewish deaths? I'm shocked!! While the stats VS demographics can't feasibly disprove the angle you're aiming at, I similarly think it definitely doesn't prove it either.

If you mean the supernova rave, here's an article from an Israeli newspaper suggesting Hamas wouldn't have known the rave was still ongoing and later says, "According to a police source, the investigation also shows that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants" which really muddies the waters about who is responsible for what.

The hostages, that by the large majority of accounts (that I've seen, so sure some bias there) have been treated as well as their guards? Or do you mean the ones that got shot by the IDF, or the ones that got blown up by the IDF?

I don't mean to suggest that Hamas is some perfect beyond reproach organization, but from the actions I have seen of late, they're largely just fighting against the state forcing them into these conditions.

I don't mean to poo poo FreeCAD the way I say this, but the vast majority of those features listed are bog-standard cad suite features at least by modern standards.

I'd love to see a FOSS cad suite kill my personal dependency on proprietary solutions, but as best I'm aware the UX is still hugely lacking.

Oral history? Didn't need to know that's what they were up to
