you can ‘see’ almost anything you can type out descriptively enough

A significant fraction of the population can’t! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia

Funeral insurances are pretty common where I’m from. This is not normal in the US?

Can some American please explain this European why this is such a big deal?

What a farce. And you just know this is gonna be spun like “see, you can’t trust these scientists”, by the alt-right. Whatever legitimacy any future COP may have had has now gone down the drain.

L4s should be banned. Who controls it? What is their agenda?

You don’t have to feel bad for cutting grass. That’s grass its entire evolutionary skitch, albeit naturally with being grazed instead of mechanically cut.

Grass survives cuts extremely well. Most of its mass is below ground. By thriving in areas that are frequently grazed / cut, it outcompetes other plants. Natural meadows without grazers quickly turn into forests. But tree saplings don’t survive being eaten, so whenever there are grazers (or human cuts), grass outcompetes trees.

To all the naysayers: if the claims hold up this will be super useful for some industries. Example, I worked at a human genomics lab for diagnostics. By law we were supposed to retain raw data for a whopping 120 years. With a couple terabyte per individual for a WGS, the storage and backup costs were very much non-trivial.

Europe is dozens of countries, each with their own laws. So which ones are you referring to?

Has this ever been investigated in humans?

Oh wow lol.

Wait what? Link?

This is stupid.

Is there a non-shitter link?

The second person during a question is still no special rule for dt. It’s still very regular. For all regular verbs it’s just stem (without the +t).

Examples:

Praten -> stem = praat -> praat jij? Worden -> stem = word -> word jij? Surfen -> stem = surf -> surf jij?

No irregularity for stems ending in d.

But again, there is no special exception for dt. Again it’s the regular rule applied: second person conjugation in questions is just the stem for regular verbs.

This gets really confusing if you’re from Limburg. In Limburgish, “daan” (the cognate to Dutch “dan”) only exists as the time indicator. With comparisons the correct Limburgish is to use “es” for differences (e.g. “Jan is groeter es Maria”, “John is bigger than Mary”), and “wie” for equivalents (e.g “Jan is eve aajd wie Maria”, “John is as old as Mary”). Now “es” is cognate to Dutch “als”, but using it in Dutch as in Limburgish is wrong. So yeah this gets confusing.

That English natives have so much trouble distinguishing effect from affect keeps surprising me.

As for Dutch, the dt-issue is presented as if it is this hugely complicated set of rules. While in reality it is dead simple. Third person in the present time is ALWAYS conjugated as stem+t for regular verbs, except in ONE case: when the stem already ends in t. Dt isn’t special, it’s just the rule applied to all stems.

ZDF is a major broadcaster in Germany.

That neck enlargement is wtf.

With your username, you’d do great in the Netherlands
