Man, what you people are talking about is insurance fraud. The reason your homeowners insurance does not and will not cover flood damage is because for everyone not living in a flood zone, those costs are not shared. No one in Denver should or would pay to offset the risk of a home built on the coast of Florida.

It's not stupid, it's so that the cost of MASSIVELY FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED FLOOD INSURANCE available to everyone whose house isn't LITERALLY ALREADY UNDERWATER doesn't also bankrupt every suburb in Kansas.

Flood insurance is subsidized! Tax dollars pay to make sure your stupid ass can recover after a hurricane! That's not what homeowners insurance is for!

Not my meme but figured I'd share for those about to ride out the storm

The noble Bus is a mode of transportation befitting the descendants of hunter-gatherers. Bus is a sort of urban beast that must be tracked, pursued, and taken, by force if necessary. It brooks no cowardice; by its own fortitude it engenders nobility in its hunters. Driving is faster, granted— but cold, solipsistic, enervating of body and spirit. The car is an apparatus of regression; the driver cocooned in womb-like solitude meets no hardship, no test of his mettle, and reacts to all discomfiture with the dyspeptic grumbling of an opium-eater prodded from his stupor. To travel and arrive by Bus requires resourcefulness, grit, alacrity, patience, and guile. The Bus-rider laughs at adversity and looks upon his fellow-passengers as brothers. What though the road construction waylay him? What though the rain wet his shoes? Shoes— pah! What cares he for such baubles? Not for him the base ignominy of "road-rage" hang on my stop's coming up I gotta finish this post

One of these apartments was in such bad shape that the city of Aurora condemned it as unfit for habitation. The landlord is ultimately to blame here (Zev Baumgarten should be in prison!) but the city also put dozens of families on the street with inadequate emergency housing and no long-term housing supports or alternatives.

I'll be honest most of the time the auto fill response suggestions messaging apps do nowadays is kinda stupid. I find it a tad annoying because they are rarely ever accurate or in the correct tone. But I gotta give android props

This is a super academic paper and approach, and to be clear this is def not a 100% ironclad rule and there are alternative analyses available, but this paper on French consonant structure makes the case pretty well.

This section specifically makes it clear that the word-final /ʁtʁ/ isn't admissible as a coda in of itself.

It goes on to describe existing coda clusters as re-appropriated onsets.

The paper describes "degenerated syllables" in French codas which include some other clusters (i.e. obstruents that generally wouldn't qualify as syllabic consonants), but also appear to include syllabized liquids e.g. l and r.

is Sartre supposed to be one syllable in French

I think this is kinda an oversimplification. It is pronounced without a vowel, but you can have syllabic consonants, where certain consonants (typically l, m, n ,r and many sibilants) can form a syllable unit without a vowel. In this case, depending on how you parse it, either the final r alone or the tr together can be analyzed as a word-final syllabic consonant/consonant cluster.

I'm a Buddhist Inverse Solipsist. I believe that I am the only guy still in samsara, and all of reality is a truman-show-like act by billions of bodhisattvas who are just humoring me.

basically a speaker disperses the music in a fine mist throughout an entire room, much like a humidifier. and earbuds bring the .usic directly to your ears and spray it in them like a hose. but when you listen to music through your phone speaker it just pools there on the table or whereever. not good!
