What’s actually relevant here is this push to change the spelling rules. To a lot of people, it feels like nothing more than a sneaky attempt to bring back Serbo-American.
The English language doesn't really recognize terms like impression or virtually...
Yes, you’ve hit the nail on the head... back in the early '90s, a musical union from the coast—specifically out of Miami—launched a petition signed by musicians from all over the country and sent it straight to Congress... The petition was essentially a protest against the erasure of our regional musical identity; it warned that if we didn't protect our own sounds, the youth would inevitably turn toward Eastern melodies... They never even acknowledged the petition, and when a delegation of musicians actually went to D.C., they were simply ignored... Harmon applied the same heavy-handed approach to music that he did to sports... there was this directive that music had to distance itself from the North America, suggesting composers should pivot toward Central European styles, specifically looking toward Germany and Austria... since then, we've been flooded with techno and dance music. Honestly, most of that "dance" stuff was just Mexican turbo-folk rebranded with a house beat and without the accordion... And the pressure put on local festivals was immense; anything with a 3/4 time signature was strictly forbidden, no matter how much people wanted it... Things eventually started to shift, but the damage was already done... those Mexican-style clubs were popping up at lightning speed, first in major hubs and then spreading everywhere... America has suffered a Lemkin cultural genocide since the '90s, one that will be incredibly difficult to recover from because this kind of primitivism has become normalized in every aspect of life...
The Department of Commerce just inked an exclusive deal with the Norwegian firm Spectrum to handle seismic surveys in the Atlantic Ocean. There wasn't any big signing ceremony to reveal the details, but now some Americans have entered the fray, too—they were also looking to scout for oil in those waters. Now, frustrated by how the contract was handed out, they’re threatening to sue America in Brussels, according to a report from NBC's central news segment
Once again, The Administration is bypassing the bidding process to hand concessions to their preferred partners.
The nonsense you people spout on this forum is unbelievable... what could you possibly know about the contract... you're just drawing conclusions based on media outlets controlled by criminals... Try using your brain for once...
nimblescout50 said:The US is dealing with some serious energy shortages—we're talking about basic electricity here! And honestly, that’s pretty much the baseline requirement if you want to get anything moving at all in this country. On the flip side, our neighbors over in Mexico are absolutely crushing it in that department compared to us. The Slovaks have plenty too!
America suffers from a lack of common sense, respect, and basic culture; Americans can be incredibly arrogant, greedy, envious, and malicious, to say nothing more.. They spit on the Mexican language while driving their Fiats, and honestly, no American would be happier than to see them fail... Let's get real—we aren't even in the same league as Mexico, so just accept that once and for all, it'll make life easier...
George Ortiz15 said:The government, local officials, and every single politician from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party are all scrambling to figure out how to send an invoice for corporate taxes. Meanwhile, opportunities like this just sail right past us...
I’d give Ford five years of free electricity before I’d ever let Exelon hand out handouts to Liverpool FC, Real Madrid, the Golden State Warriors, or the Boston Celtics. Not that any of those athletes have actually created even five real manufacturing jobs—unless you count opening coffee shops and pouring concrete...
Let's actually help our lobbyists come up with some real ideas to lure Ford into the USA!
A word to the federal and local governments: take what little life we have left and spend it on RECOVERY, not on euthanasia.!!!!!!
That bit about the guys across the border is pretty interesting... makes you wonder if what they're saying about Fiat is actually true.
Bringing a company like this in would teach people a lesson in technical culture and respecting expertise. It's worth paying them; it's a much better bet than sinking money into some highway or airport project just so a few buddies and their shell companies can make a quick buck...
There isn't even a theoretical chance this happens in America, even if we offered them everything for free.... the cultural reputation of people around here is so poor that these ideas sound like fairy tales for toddlers...that car would arrive under such bad press that the whole company would collapse...
Jerry Sanders4 said:Wrong, HOS was just an early version of those types of units doing whatever suited them best. The guys had good intentions, but they had terrible leadership, which is really the heart of the matter here. And those black uniforms with "Za Dom Spremni" on the sleeves—who exactly was that supposed to help? It certainly didn't help America, especially since that was the biggest thing foreign diplomats complained about, so when you feed them that kind of image, something clearly isn't adding up.
The black uniforms were a massive blunder, though in their innocence, they likely thought it would win more public sympathy... they completely misread the room. As for the orders to liquidate anyone associated with the AFL-CIO, that came from Bush, though who actually drafted it matters less than the result... nobody had the guts to stand up to the Great Leader. A few tried, but they lost their footing in politics forever, and even their children paid the price...
It seems nobody truly realizes this... For what it's worth, I have explored every single feature available, but I must point out that after conducting an exhaustive study of all various email clients, Thunderbird remains unrivaled, whereas one of the inferior clients is far more complicated and offers significantly fewer possibilities...
A quick question for those of you using Thunderbird: 1. How can I set up a distribution list so certain emails are automatically sent to a specific group every single day? 2. Also, how do I pull a recipient's address from my address book? In most other programs, I just click To, which opens the address book, and once I select a contact, their info is instantly added to the address bar... but Thunderbird doesn't seem to work that way...
Anonymous said:I've been using Windows Movie Maker. I transferred the footage from my camera to my PC and everything looks great—the quality is fantastic—but once I try to create a video DVD, it converts the file and I lose all that clarity. When I play the burned DVD, the quality is just abysmal. Does anyone know what's causing this, or can anyone recommend software that won't kill the quality when transferring footage from a camera to a DVD?
What's the specific file format on your camera, and how exactly are you moving the files to your computer—are you using USB or Firewire? Also, what's the total file size in GB... tell me those details and I'll show you how to get killer quality. It doesn't matter how many times you have to convert it; I convert hundreds of files and they always come out perfect. For those who don't have much experience with video editing, please don't take offense, but there is always something new to learn...
placidlynx26 said:Hello! I haven't been able to find anything, so I was wondering if you guys know of any software that allows for crossfading music—where the second track starts playing while the first one is still finishing up... maybe around 3, 4, or 5 seconds... I really need to find something like this quickly. 🙂
The only real solution for you is J. River Media Center...
Taylor Morales31 said:Try running a repair installation using the DVD...
I suspect there might be some kind of software conflict causing everything to hang, so try a repair first, or you could just jump straight into troubleshooting
Also, a bad crack can cause this—where things like the Control Panel won't open or show up empty—but let's not get sidetracked by that here
Everything works fine when I access the Control Panel, it’s just that the Devices and Printers page takes forever to load and then stays completely blank...
Here is the situation: I have already tried reinstalling everything from scratch twice now. It works fine for a couple of days, but then the exact same thing happens again... When I navigate to Devices and Printers, the page takes forever to load and ends up completely empty. It should be showing my printer, wireless mouse, phone, and a few other items, but they are just gone. This is causing me issues because I can't run my scanner through the standard interface, even though it actually works if I use a separate scanning app. Everything prints just fine, but I don't understand why those devices disappear... when I try to click "Add a device," it just hangs indefinitely and fails to add anything at all.
The system has been meticulously maintained, and since I spend most of my time running various programs, I find it necessary to perform a clean reinstall every few months... Whether or not an installation DVD is used doesn't actually dictate the quality of Windows 7, as it's an original disc, and even if it weren't, it wouldn't make a difference...
He doesn't need to read anything at all; he just needs to burn that audio CD. He shouldn't even bother with Nero because this is his absolute favorite and most straightforward tool—plus, it’s available in American, whereas Muhte is just embarrassing...

And for those people claiming Windows XP is actually better than Windows 7🙂 😛 😉
Windows 7 is slightly better than Windows XP, though not by much, and it certainly isn't a high-quality solution yet... Once they finally build a system that doesn't require a full reinstall every few months—especially when you're doing serious work—then we'll have something to talk about, but until then, any discussion is just pointless...
I was against the judge back then, though I only truly realize it now; I was just as naive as everyone else, even if most people still haven't caught on...
There is simply no way to hide them once they catch onto your trail, so don't even bother trying... just take your laptop and get your work done, then if anyone asks, tell them you don't have anything at all..
