101·1 month agoVery cool

Ah ok, I think that’s actually a different one. This is the one I’m thinking of:
It might be the same one in the original Sim City. Definitely seared into my brain, and I hear it in shows, too
1·4 months agoThey already make devices that do it. Usually it’s not a strong enough signal to get past the metal panels on your car, but strong enough for the radio to pick it up on an unused station
I’ve long thought that it was ridiculous that radio tuners are not standard in every cell phone. While we’re at it, they should all be able to broadcast on the FM band so that you can ditch the Bluetooth receiver
Maybe they should try using honey
1·8 months agoNice. What about if you back out to the main feed and then decide to go back to the comments later? This is where all other clients fail in my experience
Does it save your position in the comments of a specific post? That’s my #1 criterion for an app. Boost is the only one that I’ve found that does it
Is Boost dead though? I love it too, but it hasn’t updated in a while

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.
The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.
Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.
I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.
What’s your NAme
How OLD (are you)?
Where are you FROm?
I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise
Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?
24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film
Mono wheel, mono wheel, MONO WHEEL!
Were you stung as a child?
