We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

If you mean for the vowel harmony part, it's rather a split on back and front vowel (is your tongue at the front or the back of your mouth when you say the vowel? one single word, in kazakh, must generally keep the tongue at the back or front and not switch) a, u, ı, o are back ä, ü, i, ö, e front

there's also lar, dar and tar, figuring out whether it's an a or an e is easier, it's about vowel harmony (not sure if you know about that concept. it's very central to kazakh) ler/lar are used if the last letter of a word is r, y, w or a vowel ; der/dar for z, j, l, m, n, ñ ; ter/tar the rest

Did your dog recently judge me?
On 10/2 I was standing at the corner of Westlake and Thomas around 7:30am, waiting for the walk signal. You walked up with a Shiba on a leash.

Your dog looked at me, looked at my shoes, then back at my face and held eye contact for a full eight seconds before turning away with a sigh. You were very apologetic and said "Oh, he does that" but I was so shaken I crossed against the light just to get away.

Kazakh has suffixes, one of which is optional but the other not. And they can be combined to layer it Adam[nıñ] is[i] ; human's work (nıñ is optional) Adam[nıñ] is[i][niñ] bilim[i] ; human's work's knowledge

do interventions usually work because to me it just kinda looks like a gathering of plenty of people together to completely humiliate the shit out of someone who will probably fall further into their addiction or problem to cope with that pressure

to be honest, I'd rather have my plane meet the airport than the other way around, as it might imply a tornado of some sort

Explaincars Drama: this message likely accidentally omits the word “staff” after the word “airport”, as taken at face value, this message simply implies the desired outcome of every flight.

STD is used above the transition altitude, a specific setting below. Above the transition altitude - flight levels are used. All this to say a minor issue on a backup system. A bit of contact cleaner or rubbing alcohol will usually resolve a sticky STD knob. This is not medical advice.

"For now, there is no confirmed evidence of a broader plague outbreak or sustained person-to-person transmission. Russian officials say those identified as contacts have so far tested negative" in one article. Seems like one woman got it, passed away, and everything is being quarantined in caution.
