Try the Droidify app. I find it better than the main FDroid app.

Can we edit it?!

Fucking old rebuilt Dodge

Looks like it was a combo of both, reading about it further. https://www.rd.com/article/americans-british-pronounce-zee/

Regional dialects at first, but then the dictionary declared it the official pronunciation and shortly after the song was produced, which would have spread the use from being regional and encouraged homogenization

And at least they aren't being cut so fast that the last episode will come out as Riker playing on the holodeck just as the show was getting into the good stuff.

Americans used to pronounce Z the same as the rest of the world until someone wrote the ABC song and decided it needed to rhyme with V, and then an entire generation grew up saying it wrong and it stuck. At least that is what I've heard in Canada.

It's also why there is a Canadian version of Sesame street where the last verse doesnt rhyme because up until the late 90s our TV censors used to straight up nope things that would cause kids to be confused about how things should be pronounced.

Robin, is that you?

Pan fried shawarma is something Im still trying to get used to. The Lebanese Shawarma places in Ottawa all stack the chicken on a stick rotisserie and it is cooked exactly like the lamb or beef kebabs, they then slice thin portions off of it just the same.

It wasnt until I moved out west that I ever saw Shawarma done any other way, and everything out here has been disappointing by comparison.

Oh man, I'm hoping this is a series like CarTalk with Martok

Not just the threats, but the deafening silence from Americans in general about it (outside Lemmy) is something we will not forget for a generation.

...and yet people not only believe this crap but try to pass it off as science.

Same.

Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon's business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.

Its actually a smaller one too. Those 5 1/4 HDDs could be 2 bays tall.

Because it targets his buddies Zuck and Besos.
