People also like to argue it's an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

Um, yes?

I’m assuming we’re talking about the two A letters here, since nothing comes to mind about a different pronunciation of N or S in American English.

In American English - at least in my experience - the first sound in aeronautics is exactly the same as in “air,” which is also the same as in “administration.” We don’t generally say it as in “ear-onautocs.”

Also, I’m curious - has anyone ever published a study describing whether or not the difference in pronunciation differs between sectors in the computer science community? Particularly, is there a difference between normal developers and those who write in a Lisp?

I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. I'll get you a toe by this afternoon--with nail polish.

Read the article.

Said “Fuck this fucking fuck” to myself.

Will forget his name by the morning.

I tried loading lunch meat into my canon but it developed a film.

1. It looks way too fucking cold to protest.
2. Those riot police would be completely fucked if the protesters actually engaged with them. They had a shit formation and shit equipment.
3. If either side had employed water hoses, it would have been over in ten minutes.

I am going kosher just for this.

For the most part, I’m genuinely sad to say, the answer is going to be “no,” for a couple of reasons. For the most part, consumer grade items are pretty much crap. They’re functionally focused, as opposed to aesthetically focused. Yes, an old Apple computer signed by Woz will always be worth a lot of money, but they’re mass produced commercial items. No one is going to care for a first edition Apple Watch ten years from now.

Compare that to an Italian designer chair that sold for $700 in 1969 and now goes for $45000 in mint condition. Things like furniture (and to some extent cars) can increase in value because they’re aesthetically as well as functionally designed. No one, 50 years from now, is going to be impressed with an iPhone 8.

Yes, people who are against racism are indoctrinated. You’re totally open minded because you’re a racist, which proves you can think for yourself.

Honestly dude, and I mean this seriously, I hope you get the chance to turn 38 or something and look back on how much of a prick you were when you were 16 and say to yourself that you’ve got some ground to make up, karmically speaking.

Yup. I stop at racism. I think people should. You want to throw out some casual homophobia too?

Just curious - are you a racist troll or do you not get that your post reads as being extremely racist?

Wings evolve from legs though, generally speaking. This means that a four legged dragon with wings would have conceivably evolved from a six legged creature. You can get hand-wings or arm-wings, and we’re not entirely sure but think insect wings may have also evolved from legs or some other kind of similar structure.

But pretty much you can either have wings or legs/arms. You have to trade them in. That’s why the whole angel/demon thing doesn’t work either. The traditional harpies work but they’d be furry and not feathered. I haven’t worked out the wingspan for them but you could probably come up with a reasonable guess. They’d be more bat-people than bird-people, and I suspect that their chest areas would be less generously proportioned than is typically seen in the artwork. I’m not going more into the physics of that one though.

The US retreated from global health leadership in 2016, along with most other global leadership. It is no small part of the reason why Covid developed as it did.
