Also, despite my protestations, “Linux” is pronounced “Lynn-icks” and not “Lean-ooks” like it would be if it was pronounced according to Finnish conventions…of course, Finns don’t really use the letter “x”, so they’d first re-spell it “Linuks” and then pronounce it that way and then it wouldn’t be “Linux” anymore.
Why does the creator think this when the G is for graphics, which is a hard G?
And “gi” is also a hard G in most cases.
gift, girl, give, giddy, gills, gild, ginkgo
Exceptions: gibberish and gin
Probably not an exhaustive list.
I think it’s for the same reason that the Finnish creator of Linux also pronounces it incorrectly.
Also not an exhaustive liszt:

I’m wearing my prodigal sock today.
I’m operating at about 70% capacity today. Yesterday I had a kick-ass, get a lot accomplished day. Today I’m slogging through to-do items at a 
pace.
I’d like to meet someone named “Yubi” who, for a profession, is a public official appointed to decide cases in a court of law… Then when someone asks me to form an opinion or conclusion about something controversial I could just point at this person and say “Yubi, the judge”.

I wonder if Rothy’s are as good as the hype/price.
I had a random question but for got what it was.
Never heard of them, pretty spicy pricing. Are the Allen Edmonds sneakers any good? I’m a fan of their dress shoes but I generally buy cheap sneakers and casual shoes.
I have 8 pairs of Rothys and they’re the only shoe I wear to work (or really anywhere).
Not everyone loves them, though. If you need a lot of arch support, they ain’t it.

A friend of the family just had cancer surgery last week. He was home after a couple of days in the hospital and is resting.
Fuck cancer.

Good to know; thanks!
I always check for coupon codes when I order expensive stuff online. Was ordering faucets from build.com a couple of days ago, did a quick google for ‘build.com coupon code’ and found one for 6% off. Saved me $40 or so for two minutes worth of work.

You could even put it in the Random Questions thread: does Panera’s honey walnut cream cheese have crack in it?
