Nepal? That would be my guess because of the colorful flags. The river must make quite a sound when it's like that.

I haven't been on since June, but I noticed it for the last 1-2 years or so. Especially on the smaller subs where any given comment would only get a handful of upvotes. Someone would write a long helpful explanation, I upvote, and nothing happens. The score would stay at 1 or whatever.

It's not like I was spamming votes either. I would make a point of only voting on one comment per post so my vote would count. But it was still usually 50/50. Vote fuzzing was there for years, but this was different. The comments that were less popular seemed to be affected the most.

A 400ft 1br studio apartment in the town I work costs $2,300/month.

That's insane. Not even 20 years ago, you could throw a stone and find an apartment for like $500-$800 in that general part of the country (TX/OK). Not a slum or a hovel, and not in the sticks. Just a normal apartment.

It's actually kind of complicated. I did some digging and it looks like the problem is that he wanted a new judge in his case challenging the election results in Georgia. But he made a legal move that prevented that from happening.

This is the case he's talking about (warning: legal language). Trump originally asked for emergency relief, which means the case could be decided in days or weeks instead of months or years. Then he withdrew that request for some reason. So the original judge said no emergency relief for you. You don't get it unless you ask for it and the judge decides it's appropriate.

Well, Trump didn't like that, so he did two things. He filed an appeal (of an order that you're not allowed to appeal). That basically puts a stop to your case until the appeal is over. That's just how it works and even brand new lawyers know this.

At the same time, he asked for his case to be assigned to a new judge. The court couldn't say yes or no to that request because of the appeal. Thus the complaint that they wouldn't assign a judge.

He dismissed the appeal a few weeks later and got a new judge.

I just google stuff like crazy. You'll have to piece together information from a lot of different sources, and you probably can't afford to be picky about what sources you use, but you can usually figure out a lot. It helps if you've learned a language before, because then you have an idea of what you'll need to learn. Nouns, genders, cases, verb tenses and conjugations, and so on.

The search terms you use make a huge difference in the results you get, so you'll have to play around and see what works best. I tend to do searches like

• tulu language
• tulu resources
• learn tulu
• tulu online dictionary
• tulu verbs
• tulu podcast
• tulu grammar

It can help to search in more than one language if you can. Like if you search in Hindi, you might get different results than if you search in English.

I did a few searches and found some things, like this site that explains the grammar and some vocabulary. He has a YouTube channel too. Or this one, which is pretty bare bones but might still have some useful tidbits. It mentioned that you can use the plural form of "you" to refer to whoever you're talking to. Which might be obvious to some people, but I didn't know that, and it helped me figure out why "korle" (from the examples you gave) is conjugated the way it is (looking at the chart from here).

There's at least one online dictionary. I don't know how good it is, but online dictionaries can be better than print ones. That does depend on the language though.

Podcasts are good for listening practice, or movies or whatever else you can find. You might want to check Reddit too. They might have some stuff. Just add site:reddit.com/r/languagelearning to your search.

I checked just now and it's normal for me. I don't know if the instance matters, but I'm on mastodon.social.

Neat find. I wonder how big it is. It looks like a pretty good size. It's kind of fun to imagine Roman soldiers playing games in their free time.

I heard it before I hit play. A great recording. He sang this so many times and it's almost always a little bit different.

This live recording from 1969 is good too. I'll never not listen to Pavarotti, but I have a soft spot for his young voice. So clear, and the legato and spin just don't stop.

Your cats are really cute. Always nice to see them here.

I lived on the same floor as a couple Airbnbs for a while and it was the same way. Lots of trash and noise. More than the usual big city noise. Like bass cranked up at 3 am and they probably won't hear if you try to knock.

For a while there was a steady stream of men coming in and out of one of the apartments. And a sign on the door that said something about massages.

She threw their homework and other things in the trash. Said they had until the end of the day to pay cash or do chores to get it back so they could learn the real value of their things.

She took her son's bed away for seven months, apparently because he played a prank on his brother.

Oh, and the kids had to make their own school lunch in the morning. The school calls one day because her 6 year old daughter didn't have any food. She let the girl go hungry. Quote:

My hope is that she’ll be hungry and come home and go, ‘oh man, that was really painful, being hungry all day. I will make sure to always have lunch with me.

yelling words across a house at a cat.

Cats have sensitive hearing and hate loud noises, so it makes a lot of sense that a quiet whistle would work better than loudly calling out. Things like "pspsps" and "ksksks" get their attention too because it's not very loud but has a lot of high frequencies that they can hear well.

They seem to like when you talk to them in a calm voice. They might not understand sentences, but they do recognize sounds. They'll look at you funny if you suddenly start speaking a different language.
