What I like about socket type I is that it has both 2 and 3-pin variants, which is a nice feature. And you're right about how stable it is, given how the pins are angled.

However, from all the images I've seen online, it seems to me that those cables aren't at the bottom or the top, but toward the center. I mean, if you had something like a sofa or a bed pushed towards the plus, that would cause egregious amount of damage to the plug. Now, I could be in the wrong here.

Also, the ground isn't tall enough, as screen in type G, D or M, which could be a safety hazard. And the point about the accessible fuse, which is a plus in type G, apparently doesn't seem to be in any other socket.

In support of type F socket, they're socketed - as in, a significant part of the plug has to go in first. And this interaction enables the plugs to be grounded first, before any of the other pins come into contact. You're getting both stability and ground connection at the same time.

What's with Git? Sure, it is used by a lot of people, but it has some of it's own shortcomings as a snapshot-based version control. VCS like Pijul has it's own advantages, something to do with the patch theory of differences (disclaimer: I'm not an expert in this).

I am also kinda opposed to enforcing XDG, because of how unstandardized it is. Like for example, to set a terminal, GNOME Shell had to hardwired a piece of code to their internals, checking to see if a particular environment variable exists, , or else use gnome-terminal, which is just bad practise.

What about the electric socket? I like Type F, but I hate how it doesn't have replaceable fuse, like Type G. I also think 3-pin should be mandatory. And about electricity, 230V, 50Hz should be the standard.

Over here in India, we have type C, D and M, and they're decent, I guess. From a safety perspective, it is kinda bad, give how I confused type C slot with type M. This way, I have accidentally bent the two-pin many-a-times.

Jon Minadeo II is also an indophobe, it seems. But little does this clown know that the Aryans that these neo-Nazis claim to be, used to live in modern-day Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and north India? The word 'Arya' means noble and honorable one, and this clown is neither of that.

Is C a low-level language?

A "preference" that is a farce, and was shoved on her, and many other PoC, and which they had to accept after getting tired of repeated mispronunciation, you fucking dickhead. Do I have to stress this multiple times?

Insular brain-rot specimen over here with a limited capability to understand nuances, I know it hurts your head when I have to make you empathize with PoCs, and how they're tired of correcting people all the time to the point that they give up and pick a approximate pronounciation, but clowns like you will do their best to decide what's right for them, and at the same time, suppress what people from the same group have to say about it. Hilarious, right?

Does stepping on a mattress count as grass? Cuz you know, cotton and shit?

Actually, this is the right pronounciation, but obviously, with the words swapped.

Consider keeping this imperialist opinion to yourself. The last thing I need is someone bullying me into accepting how words from my culture and language is spoken, and how I need to accommodate to your inconveniences. It may be socially acceptable for you to make other PoCs feel all weird and uncomfortable about themselves, but you can't bully me into this.

Trans people, or anyone else who wishes to change their name from what their parents wrote at birth, are completely valid in their new name.

Whataboutism to twist and call me transphobic? Why do you mention trans people here? 'Pronouns' and 'pronounce' have nothing in common.

Third, “John” is another example that actually proves why your argument is wrong. It comes from the old hebrew יְהוֹחָנָן‎. But as other cultures adopted the name and changed it to be their own over hundreds of years, small changes turned it into Ιωάννης in Greek, Johannes in Latin, Jean in French, and eventually John in modern English. Why is the same thing happening to Kamala such an issue for you?

Because that change was organic, and took hundreds of years? Are you going to conveniently ignore that?

Her name is what she says her name is

...while ignoring all the nuances, that is, her conditioning by a society that has taught her to internalize hatred towards her own identity? Attitude like that of your is the reason why second and third generation immigrants suffer from the pain of having a cultural disconnect, making them feel like an alien - being discriminated in their own country, and being a foreigner to their own culture. And now, you're trying to gaslight a native speaker?

It does not take a genius to look at the butchered transliteration(s) - (funny how there's no agreement on a singular pronounciation?) versus the original pronunciation on Wiktionary.

It’s written in the latin alphabet on her American birth certificate

So is mine and every citizen born in India, a non-English country. Your point being that people get to decide how to butcher other's name because it was *checks character* written in Latin?

She pronounces her own name as ˈkɑːmələ.

PoC immigrants are forced to anglicize their names. Koreans and Chinese folks are forced to have a alternative English name. Indians are forced to deal with butchered pronounciations, or pick a shorter nickname. But hey, thanks for being a part of the problem.

It doesn’t matter what the similar-sounding common name from a different country used by different people is.

It does, and this behaviour speaks volume about how much you respect other people and their culture. John isn't pronounced as Yohn in non-English speaking areas, right?

To somehow suggest that the sound of अ (ə) becomes आ (ɑː) is ridiculous. It's not कामला (jaundice, billrubin), it's कमला (lotus, Goddess Lakshmi). Use an IPA reader to check the sound you've provided, versus mine.

/kəmələ/ is the sound. Since she's half-Dravidian, we don't do schwa deletion over here.

Edit: /kəmələ/, not /kə.mə.lə/

/kəmələ/ is how it is said. Those weird gyphs are IPA symbols, not sure if they're part of any European languages that uses Latin as their alphabet.

The issue with English is that it is a non-phonetic language. In English, 'a' can sound either like æ, eɪ, ɑː, ɔː, etc (refer IPA). The specific 'a' sound in Kamala has a name, by the way - it is called schwa (ə).

I'm pretty sure a French or a German wouldn't butcher this name, as their alphabets are pretty consistent in phonetic pronunciation - they just map fine with Indian languages, like take for example, Hindi - 'a' -> अ, 'i' -> इ, 'e' -> ए, 'o' -> ओ, etc.

In Devanagari, it is written as कमला (ka + ma + laa), which is the feminine form of कमल (ka + ma + la). In Hindi, every varnmala by default has a short 'a' - adding a ा turns this into a longer 'aa' sound (क् + अ -> क (ka), क् + आ -> का (kaa)).

Yes, I know that Kamala is probably half-Dravidian (Tamil, or Telugu, I think), but it really doesn't matter a lot - sure, there's some differences between Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages, one of which being the schwa deletion, but apart from that, most letters are almost similar in function.

Next time, get a mixed, and not a pedigree.

What about rocket slingshots and space tethers? Couldn't they work the same as a suborbital, but cheaper?

Okay, wait, so if were to I purchase internationally from eBay using basic USPS shipping, which costs a whopping $120, plus $200-400 worth of refurbished stuff from the USA to India, which takes around 30 days, and I don't get my stuff, then am I screwed? What the fuck? I am broke right now, but I was planning to get a laptop in the nearest future from ItsWorthMore (that was the name of the seller you've mentioned, right?). Now I am having second thoughts about buying stuff from eBay.

Poor, unemployed and depressed. Also because conservative society.

Trump should have had his mouth or nose shot down. This way, Republicans would have an excuse to wear masks, lol.
