As others have already said, you go with the initial sound rather than the written letters. The written word is mostly built around conveying speech, so the rules fit what you would use if reading out loud. There are plenty of cases where writing conveys other cues than verbal, but the core of it still applies to sound.
That actually applies to most punctuation as well, depending on how one defines “most”.
Any initialism is going to be counted as the first letter being a word for the purpose of a/an usage, when said letters are pronounced as letters. In the case of RTS (an initialism), you wouldn’t ever say it as a word, unlike RAM, which is almost always pronounced as a word and is thus is an acronym. That’s the difference between those things, btw. We tend to call all of them acronyms, and that’s okay, but there is a difference.
Which is fine, I guess, but it means you won’t get useful responses for the most part.
Here’s the thing though. You can’t crowd source medical advice. Well, you can, but doing so is an idiot’s bet. You might get lucky and get good advice, but chances are it’ll range from useless to possibly risky/dangerous.
It’s hard enough to diagnose when you have a solid patient history and a good intake interview. Going from there to prescribing is another set of evaluations to get the most results with the least side effects.
And you sure as fuck need to give plenty of disclaimers if you do give advice so that some idiot doesn’t follow it without thinking it through.
Me? Idgaf about liability because I won’t give advice without a shit ton of disclaimers, and outright telling the person they shouldn’t take the advice.
But I agree with you. If you aren’t going to do something useful, just scroll on. No need to waste anyone’s time with the bullshit.
Yeah, obviously, or the title wouldn’t even have happened.
And it’s been that way for a while now. Back when windows 10 happened, I was able to install mint, get most of my preferred programs set up, and handle data transfer with zero CLI use. Which was awesome, because my dyslexic ass would have taken forever otherwise. It wasn’t until I started putzing around for pop and giggles that I even opened a terminal.
My mom w as able to jump right in after installation of mint, and go through the gui to try things out, no issues.
Ehhhh, better is a subjective thing. You made your argument well for one range of use cases though.
For me, with my back issues and arthritis, a side by side is better than either. You get the freezer on one side, where you can prioritize supplies based on how easy/hard it would be to pull them out at a given height. The fridge is the same, but it’s less likely to have heavy things in it, or at least not heavier than a gallon of liquid, which is easy enough to manage if you have adjustable shelves (we do).
The meat drawer part is kinda brand and model dependant. My best bud has a French door fridge with freezer on the bottom, and their meat drawer is a little deeper than ours, but is only on one side of the fridge, so you can open that door by itself. All of the shelves and drawers are configured to be openable with only one door open. It was a ridiculously expensive fridge though. Doors shut well with a gentle bump in that one as well. Only time it’s a problem is when a drawer is open part way.
But, yah, you gotta open both doors to put in large dishes. However, the French door fridges I’ve used have tended to stay open better, making it easier to get big things in and out overall.
The counter issue is a kitchen layout issue.
I would counter your opinion with “it depends, and there’s no objective standard for better”
Jelly is so good when he sings. It’s kinda strange that he didn’t sing much early on when you hear him now, when he’s known better for his singing than his rapping. As a rapper, he’s decent, but nothing stellar.
But as a singer? His voice is very distinct, and his lyrics are great, so you end up with some really powerful songs. Save Me is what he’s best known for, but Still My Hero just wrecks me every time I hear it now that my dad is getting older.
With the caveat that I rarely use any of them because I prefer having my own files, CDs, and records, I’ve gravitated towards deezer for the most part, apple music the rest of the time.
Reason being that deezer is the least annoying as regards setting up playlists, and apple is my wife’s preferred service, and it’s usually easier to just let her set up the playlists and then make suggestions for adds/removals over time lol.
Mind you, I don’t really like any of the interfaces of any of the services. They all suck in different ways.
Legit, we’ve got about an acre in the back yard, and I was working toward this for most of it. Can’t do the work required now, so it’s gotten less native than it used to be, but at one point, it was all plants native to my region, and they are still dominant. The rest of the yard is better set up for my crippled ass to handle, so I can pull out invasive species as needed. There’s a section maybe twenty feet in a rough circle plus a corner where it’s “grass”, but it’s mostly random clover with dandelions I can’t be bothered to remove every year. The chickens have been keeping anything else from setting in compared to yard B.C. (before chickens).
It’ll eventually get taken over by random plants, I’m sure. It’ll be as I age out and cripple out of the work involved, since getting my kid to do a damn thing ain’t happening lol. But for now, me and the chickens have a nice area to walk around and putter.
