i couldn't find my level quickly and then felt like a dummy for realizing i just need to put the oil in the pan and watch which direction it goes. i raised the front a lil bit and i am currently lightly heating the pan to make double sure i got it perfect.

when i installed the oven i remember giving up on the levelling process and then instantly forgetting about it until you mentioned it. THANK YOU.

I have to post a picture of my stove when I make The Sauce, but I think it's going to take more than shims even. My main range unit is a Wedgewood that I bought out in Berkeley and had shipped in; it's in perfect condition but as with many mid century things like Boomers and condo complexes, it's not exactly on stable footing thanks to the previous homeowner's love of "rustic travertine."

I wish this expensive hell floor was normal.

big ol shims are still shims and i believe in you. awaiting pix for further analysis but i had a level stove in a shack with a 6" drop over 20'. it's the little things

When you roll your Rs, do you use the tip of your tongue against your teeth or the back of your tongue/ maybe throat to make the sound?
This came up because The Child has started chewbacca-growling (back of the mouth method) and it is as adorable as you think.
Anyway, it was discovered that I can only do the front of the mouth sound and Jolo can only do the back of the mouth sound and we've each been rolling our Rs in our separate ways our whole lives. It honestly never occurred to me that anyone would roll their Rs without using the tip of the tongue.
So, how do you roll?

I actually read the last few pages and yeah I was thinking this same thing. Good luck to orbs everywhere with leveling their ranges, unimpacting their wisdom teeth, their cornbread (or lack thereof), your doctor appointments, and job changes (congrats hj), your cake flavored sodas, sauces, bidet installations, and posts with their pals in byob.

thank you so much to nesamdoom for the scurry fall sig!

i can't roll my Rs, despite trying for ages, and also having done the linguistic studies to know the exact mouth mechanics of the different Rs

i just can't, my mouth just doesn't do it!

I only understood a small fraction of that, but I guess I do a voiced dental trill? Man, linguistics is a whole language unto itself.

I can only whistle using my teeth and tongue. Similar mouth shape to the way I roll my Rs, which makes a ton of sense now that I think about it.

The thing I absolutely cannot do despite repeated and varied instructions is those magic-eye pictures. I remember getting one to work basically on accident in middle school but I've never been able to recreate the effect.

this is basically an open face crunchwrap, so it would be good. or use a bigger tortilla, fold it up over all the toppings, grill it on both sides to seal it up and then you got a crunchwrap

I went to see my dentist at the end of 2019 when it was hurting really bad and the waiting list for wisdom tooth extraction was 4 months long and it settled back down soon after so it didn't matter and then I got the letter to have my surgery in the first week of April 2020 and as you can imagine there were more pressing concerns at that point. This is the first time the pain's really flared up since then so based on history it'll just suck like hell for 5-8 days and then chill out again

voiced means you're using your vocal cords with it (like, compare the sounds "g" and "k", the only difference is that g uses your vocal cords and k does not)

alveolar just tells you where in your mouth your tongue is doing stuff

fricative is a fun word (and means there's like a bunch of relatively-harsh air flow, so sounds like "s" and "f" and "h")

trill means what you think it does hooray

i sent out two job applications, it was stressful but i did it and only put it off a little!

for one of the places the differences are basically "you take the same bus but not as far, you make a little more money, it'll definitely be better organized because it would be impossible not to be, you probably won't be fixing the printers as much", as far as i could tell from the job posting anyway

frankly i'd be pretty happy with all those changes even if there's no massive improvement. here's hoping!

Depends. Spanish is front of the mouth with the tongue most of the time. French/german/chewbacca is the back of mouth weird glottal thing. Language is fuckin wild

the IPA terminology for a kissy sound is "bilabial click" (usually voiceless but there are exceptions)

pro tip: flirt with that cute linguist that's caught your eye by asking if they want to practice some quadrilabial clicks iwth you :wiggle:

i was on a walk with someone the other day and i was like "yeah this is where i normally walk the dogs" and they're like "are you walking me like your dogs" and i responded "well i don't have a leash on you at the moment," and we just kind of looked at each other for a moment, shrugged, and kept on walkin'

a fine conversation for a summers day
