It's windy over there.

Actually most of the ones I see aren't turning regardless of how windy it is, I'm beginning to think they're fake.

Birds aren't real bruh

Neither are windmills apparently

Why isn't jicama more popular than it is?

I usually have a big jar of pickled jicama in the fridge. Great refreshing snack. Just killed my last batch, have to make some more.

I usually just cut it up and have a tupperware of it in the fridge. Sometimes plain, sometimes with some tajin on it, maybe some chili crisp. In a salad cut up into small crunchy bits. This shit should be available everywhere.

It's never ok to drink an IPA.

What kind of weirdos are you people?

We're perfectly normal. The weirdos are the ones who like IPA.

I need to explore the world of jicama more thoroughly apparently.

It's not amazing, it's no home grown tomato or summer corn, but it sure as hell is more tasty and more versatile than lots of veggies that are more common.

It's spelled Tagovialoa, but every sports announcer says "Tungo-viol-ia" So for those here who speak Samoan, is it pronounced as it's spelled or the latter?

Tug-uh-vi-loa.

Apparently that’s the right way according to wiki
/ˌtʌŋoʊvaɪˈloʊə/ TUNG-oh-vy-LOW-uh;


But wiki doesn’t even try at his first name

Tuanigamanuolepola

We all agreed to just say Tua

I’m thinking tua onomatopoeia

Why is Favre pronounced Farve?
Why is Erdogan pronounced Erdowan?
Why do people insist on accenting the first syllable of Ukraine?

[Timberridge]

Ok thanks for clearing this up.

Why is Favre pronounced Farve

Yeah that fella’s in a bit of trouble I hear.

I taught my husband how to drive a stick shift no joke. When we were first dating he got a job as a bellman/valet but did not know how to drive a manual

Microsoft Word:

Inserting the "paragraph" symbol. Why is it so many steps to get this? "Insert/Symbol/More Symbols/Special characters"? Like, isn't it one of the more common symbols, such that you shouldn't have to select "more" to see the extra ones, and even then select "special characters"? And why does it not have a shortcut either?

Am I just doing it wrong, is there an easier way? Or are lawyers the only ones who use it, and we're such a small subset that it deserves to be way more hidden than, for ex, the greek letter beta?

[Core Shot]

Lawyers use it. But only when in edit mode.
It is helpful for proper formatting. Seeing tabs, spaces, carriage returns (insert flashback DING! Hunter Thompson) is useful.

Who the fuck inserts a paragraph symbol for final print?

In the past you have claimed to be a lawyer (or at least having gone to law school, can't recall if you asserted that you practiced), either that was a lie or you are an absolutely abysmal one (no joke, not like the guys who decide someone's a bad lawyer because they post something stupid). Because there is not a lawyer alive who doesn't understand why you might use the paragraph symbol in documents.

And no, I am not talking about seeing the symbols on the screen for editing, that is an entirely different thing. I am talking about placing the symbol as a piece of text.

¶ My absolutely lazy method when I have characters I need to use repeatedly is to put them in another window and copy-paste as needed.

¶ Paragraphs are an easy alt code though. Hold left alt, then type 20 on the num pad.

I often used the silcrow whilst at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher and Flom.

I cannot recall using the Pilcrow. But I wasn’t a litigator. So ymmv.

[Iowagriz]

Danno, similar to Abraham's approach. Look into Word for a function that I think was called easy text (it's been a long time).

Many years ago, our Audit team used this. I remember codes and then F2 (or similar). You could have this created and shared amongst a team for creating report writing templates (in our case).

B101,F2 might produce and entire paragraph on unprotected passwords.

I'd think something like this could be used for the simple paragraph symbol up to larger, commonly used text.
