Ah ok, I think that’s actually a different one. This is the one I’m thinking of:

It might be the same one in the original Sim City. Definitely seared into my brain, and I hear it in shows, too

Do you think adding to /etc/envoronment would work with kde-inhibit? I’ve been trying to find a way to have Steam block sleep when a game is running, which I can do on a game-by-game basis with kde-inhibit, but I want it to run for every steam game. For some reason my machine does not inhibit sleep when games are running, or even when audio or video are playing

Are you using steamtinkerlaunch? I just discovered that and absolutely love that I can use vortex again

I’ve heard that running uncooked rice through is an easy way to clean them. Never tried it though

Do you really blame them?

One of my favorite Simpsons lines, the load hearing poster

Started playing on crossplay between PC and Android, but the android client would consistently freeze while mining rocks in the mine or chopping trees on the farm. It’s not officially supported yet, so happy to wait for the update. Otherwise it worked really well.

Why not?

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What’s your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film

Good luck getting consistent cuts while you’re freehanding. The idea is to make the nice flat cat scratching pad, and also being able to make the tool with the tool printer you have at home

A new browser touches the beacon

For some reason the first time I read it, I thought it was an “L” so now I always call them “Apple mages”

I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂

Something to look forward to, I suppose

Some are only 30 cents! At least they were…

I agree, cash is fun in Germany. I think it really helps that the 1 and 2 euro coins are available and used in circulation. It was so nice going into the Späti and buying a beer with a single coin.

Change feels unnecessary in the States since the highest denomination that’s widely circulated is the quarter dollar. There are dollar coins, but they are hardly ever used.
