How would new language formation happen in the global era? Can there be enough communication isolation for a group's dialect to deviate enough to a new language?

Sundae posted:Like ten years ago, I saw a stupid skit on TV from some comedy show. It could've been SNL, could've been a random thing on MTV, no idea. It was a fake tweenage boy band music video (with fake audience reactions), with refrain lyrics of "If your day has gone to heck, you can still borrow my warm turtleneck. 'Til our puberty is through, this I promise you," or something of that sort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Foz9KKqxZ-I It was MadTV, the superior Saturday night sketch show.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:Has anyone gotten their teeth whitened? How did you do it and what would you recommend, ie buy strips at the pharmacy or go to a dentist Kind of a late answer to this, but in-office whitening will likely result in more tooth sensitivity compared to whitening strips you can buy over the counter. This is because in-office whitening uses either equal or higher concentrations of the bleaching agent than what you can get over the counter. The fewer the sessions you're told will be needed to achieve the whitening effect, the higher the concentration of bleaching agent that will likely be used. If the over the counter stuff makes your teeth sensitive, then expect that your teeth will likely be sensitive from an in-office whitening. Some dentists may give you fluoride trays to use for a couple of weeks before the whitening appointment to try and mitigate the sensitivity issue. However, the studies are kind of mixed on the success of this, and usually patients will still be sensitive, though with perhaps a lower intensity of sensitivity.

I've always held the fork in my right hand and used the knife with my left. All the muscle memory from normally using a fork in my right hand makes holding it in my left feel real weird. For the hand switchers, are your off-hands so atrophied that you can't cut a piece of meat with it?

Ham Equity posted:It's not MFA. It's literally the site wants a phone number to text to tell that I'm a real person, and it doesn't want to accept a number that isn't (for lack of a better term) a "real" phone number, I'm sure they would say for purposes of spammer/fake account detection, but the fact that those sorts of numbers aren't good for being able to track users definitely factors into it as well. What if you ported your personal number to Google Voice and then use the new number assigned to your phone line for all that stuff?

Ham Equity posted:The socks in question have elastic in them, which is why I don't think patching would work. Could it be that your wide feet are causing you to buy shoes in a larger size lengthwise, which results in more slipping at the heel, this more friction on your socks in that ankle area?

Carbon dioxide posted:This reminds me of Chinese. Written Chinese is standardized to Mandarin, that is, is written how it would be spoken in Mandarin. A Cantonese speaker would often not say aloud the same characters or use the same word order as "proper" written Chinese. If you transcribed Cantonese as it is spoken, you actually have to use a bunch of characters unique to Cantonese.

artsy fartsy posted:I'm in Texas. I live in this little apartment, I actually really like it despite its various problems (my apartment before this was godawful), but one odd thing is that it doesn't have a back door or window in the bedroom. I have one small window in the front dining/living space. I understand this is a fire code violation. The other practical problem is if there is a fire at your door, you have no other mode of escape.

Hughmoris posted:Do we have an Insurance Questions megathread? You're most likely not going to get as much money back as you think based off your EOB because of the key phrase I bolded in your original post. Your dental insurance has a maximum fee that they base their percentage calculations on. That is, if they say they'll cover 80% of the cost of a filling, it's not 80% of an unlimited number, but 80% of what your insurance thinks the filling should cost (usually, it's set at whatever rate they have their in-network dentists take). An out-of-network dentist is not obligated to accept this maximum rate that your insurance sets and can charge you at their own rate. The only reason you would get money back from the dental office is if the insurance company also sends their check to the dental office and not you. In which case, the dental office owes you whatever the insurance companies paid them provided you paid their fee in full at your visit. If the insurance company mails you the check for your claim directly, then I wouldn't expect to get anything back from the dental office.

two fish posted:I've just noticed my gas company has not charged me at all for the past year of usage. This was a bill that I had set on auto-pay, and I just didn't notice it until right now. I was getting the monthly service charges, but with zero therms of usage. I had something similar happen to me. I got a letter from the gas company a few months later saying there might be a problem with my meter and to make an appointment for a technician to come check. They came, it was broken and he swapped it out with a new one. I don't think I was charged for the previous usage. If your meter is working but not reporting, they might be able to charge you for that past usage.
