Yeah; when those lines are horizontal – though –, you may want to worry. But vertically, usually not.
Yeah; I don't have the spoons to give a supporting link but I remember that being borne out in the fox-domestication experiment, as well (along with other traits that seemed to align with the domestication process – as well –, such as floppy, folded ears); same reason domesticated cattle have developed spots.
In the end, it's all subjective but – if you'll hear me out – thogh doesn't alter the current spelling very much while maintaining a linguistic heritage (as the "thogh" spelling was also likewise used, during Middle English); also, the number of words ending in just the "o" vowel is less common, I feel, and will probably look doubly foreign to a native English speaker due to the consonant digraph (though, again, subjective; maybe not).
However, – additionally – saving "oght" for "thought" is giving that letter combination a sound already covered in English by another letter combination: "aught" (e.g. caught, fraught, taught, …thaught…?). If we're keeping "ogh" around, we might as well give it a unique pronunciation association to avoid the overlap that was the original problem with "ough".
Finally, a single "f" for "tough" could work (certainly, there are examples) but we miss out on employing the Germanic linguistic tendency to indicate a short vowel sound with a double consonant, inherited by words such as "ball", "fall", "doll", "call", or "puff" (of course, there's plenty of exceptions ("get", "bet", "mat", etc.) but, so long as we're making changes, firming up an existing rule (and avoiding the brief uncertainty of whether or not the reader is dealing with a prefix) would, arguably, be useful).
For real; the second I saw "hugbox", I was like, "Hmm…."
Mostly out of curiosity but what'd HW do? I think we can squarely put more of the war on drugs on his shoulders than Reagan's but, outside of that, I can think of so many more concrete things Reagan did to worsen and destabilize America (even if the effects were much later) than I can for the 1-term HW (but that may just be unfamiliarity, on my part).
"Thogh thaughts are tuff," in a more blessèd timeline.
Really wish you didn't, though.
Yeah; those are reasonable. Not overly-checkable stuff like the school you went to and degree you obtained.
This.
I remember, when Unity first came out and Gnome was considering mockups for Gnome 3, so many people complaining and me thinking that, yeah, maybe these weren't perfect but they so clearly contained improvements over Gnome 2.
It was an exciting time to be joining Linux because there seemed to be real desire to experiment with new work flows and UI ideas that improved the standard computing experience.
I feel like time's kind of borne out my feelings, there.
Yeah; took me a full year (granted, half your experience but still); once the husband joined me in applying to jobs around the clock did I start to make any headway (and that was still another 4 months). It was brutal.

Some people just like a little coffee in their sugar.
No; you were clear. I dunno what that other person was doing.
I dunno if you can claim Boomer if rage-comics were your time; maybe Gen-X?
Probably because that's what some had been told they would be taking before entering the slaughterhouse; but just a guess, on my part.
What section does he mention it (if just one or two)? Don't have the free time for listening to the full hour, unfortunately, but I am curious (if you don't mind, of course).
