It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.

That's not how bankruptcy filings work

Yes but slowly and using language they're familiar with. Lure them into it

Spanish has "Ustedes" (except in Spain, they use "Vosotros/Vosotras")

I have huge skepticism about the Texas number.

Texas DOES NOT have voters register for a party.

Texas doesn't do voter registration by party so uh

How did they get these

"y'all" fills a legitimately useful gap the English language has. Other languages have a word like this.

Edit: also something cool I just found out, some languages have a way to disinguish "we" (you and I), and "we" (me and the rest of us, not you). It's called clusivity and is missing from European languages. Many indigenous languages of the Americas and Oceania have this, as well as Vietnamese and northern dialects of Mandarin.

CRTs were fairly common until the early-mid 10s

I'd say born after 2008ish aren't likely to be familiar with them, except seeing the odd one in their grandparents bedroom

A lot of people don't register for a party

Comment: I'm not responding to shit. You guys voted for this so I'm coasting by on my middle class white privilege from now on. I tried to reinforce the dam and everyone around me decided to blow it up instead. Now it's time to sink or swim on your own. I'm not wasting any more time trying to help people who won't help themselves.

I'm actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed.... Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn't wobble also helps.

Lots of stringing but as I understand that's normal for TPU. Printed at 225⁰C on a 30⁰ bed, stock Ender 3 S1. 0 retraction, 0.93 flow, 35mm/s for most speeds

 

Anyone got any suggestions on things to do around there? Staying in Havana Vieja
