To tell which sounds are voiced or voiceless, put a finger or two on your larynx and look for the vibration. /th/ as in “thread” is voiceless - no vibration - whereas /th/ in “the” is voiced - vibration

Lutris and one other program is used for that, I seem to remember. I’ll probably have to do some research. What’s the current go-to distro for gaming?

What would adding the games to Steam accomplish? I assume I can’t just log on to my account and have the required files to download and install the games since they’re not originally from Steam. Or is it just a matter of being able to launch them once they’re added to the client? Or a convenience thing?

If someone, totally not me, were in possession of exe-files of games outside a platform like Steam, Epic or whatever, would it be possible to run them on a Linux distribution? Say something like a Steam rip or a GOG rip

I’m pretty bad at RTS because I get overwhelmed by the amount of options you have at any given moment. Star Craft, Warcraft, Age of Empires - doesn’t matter. :D
I think I also remember building times for units to be super long. Do I remember correctly?

I remember seeing a friend of mine play Supreme Commander back in the day and it looked fun but hella complicated. I remember there being some green-coded race that had some sort of princess as a leader? They have a spaceship that looks like a donut

Dude, you should get a rice cooker. I’ve never had so little trouble cooking rice before. And as long as it’s not a weird batch of rice, it always comes out near-perfect
- Comment on They say remote working less productive 1 week ago:
Had a breakdown today because, after being on sick leave for a week, I came back to school and realised I need to prepare three therapies for tomorrow in between classes and barely any time to thoroughly prepare even one of them. But nooooo, working from home for those days where just school wouldn’t work because we have a contract that obligates us to be physically present. Plus, we’re just not as productive. Sure. Fuck my 2h of commuting everyday

Preach. I doubt there’s too much you can do though given human anatomy and the (lack of) space in the pharynx
- Comment on The absolute WORST 4 weeks ago:
If you have trouble swallowing tablets and pills, even when you drink something to have it go down easier, it might be worth checking out different consistencies of food to go along with it. Many elderly people take their pills in yoghurts and puddings and stuff like that. Soft foods in general also work. A drink should usually help though.
If it’s tablets and pills that explicitly need to be taken dry, you could try a swallowing technique called a “chin tuck” where you push your chin towards your chest before swallowing and then swallow while your chin is still tucked. That way, you leave less room/area for the tablet/pill to get “stuck on”. It could help but doesn’t necessarily have to help

Depends on when that screenshot was taken. If it’s a current screenshot, it’s actually from 2015 which is… wait, 2015 is 10 years ago?

Mantis God all the way. And OP death cards are fun too. I had a 1 mana 7/7 with flying and double strike the other run, I think, which was pretty nuts

You should be fine. It’s a card game first and foremost, so no enemies sneaking up on you per se. There are some creepy things happening and, without going too much into detail, a lot of fourth-wall breaks - you’ll know when you see. That can take you by surprise a little, but if you’re fine dealing with that, you should be ok.
There can be some minor body horror involved that can be a little gross. There is one action you need to take to progress the game eventually.
Overall, it’s not full of jumpscares - it’s just scary atmosphere and creepy vibes. I myself am usually rather easily scared by video games, but I’ve been fine throughout. Give the first hour or so a try to get a good feel for it. The rest of the creepiness will unfold itself later on

As the other commenter said. Alternatives are also SLP - speech and language practitioner/pathologist, but I don’t think there’s a standardised name that’s always used in English. “Logopedics” is probably not used that often in English compared to “Logopädie” in German

SLTs hate pacifiers. They’re horrible for a child’s teeth, leads to costantly open mouths, are bad for posture etc… Most patients’ parents who come into therapy are good about weaning their kids but some don’t and don’t know about the harm either

Not all of their headphones though, right? I’ve checked the settings for my Elite 85t (?) and while there were options for adjusting the notification one way or another, I couldn’t outright mute or remove it

No, it was not meant as a moral argument but the ecological impact of eating honey and supporting honey farming and beekeeping, as stated in my comment. The ethical argument is the same with any other animal that could be, but shouldn’t be from my point of view, exploited for our gain.
Plus there’s a difference between harvesting the literal nourishment of a species that requires it for their own suatainment and using them for crops and their pollination: one of them is easily avoidable and unnecessary, the other is a necessary evil but ultimately still required if I want to keep on living.
The most ecological and ethically sound conclusion then would be to just stop existing, but I don’t have a deathwish, so that’s the least harmful option out of the ones I have.
Capitalism is founded on exploitation of other people, our environment, animals, whatnot, so I don’t have any other option until capitalism is overturned and another form of governing rule is established, desirable but currently not possible, so all I can do is minimise the impact I have on the environment, on animals, on other people as much as possible.

I’m not an expert on artificial sweeteners, but as far as I know, they’re to be consumed in moderate amounts just like sugars are. And from what I’ve heard, stevia is among the better sweeteners compared to something like aspartame or maybe even sucralose. The mixing of sugar and a sweetener is not ideal, I think that’s true.
I’ll gladly be proven otherwise - don’t know enough about them tbh
