Are there any decent Aleague podcasts anymore?
Funnily enough The National Curriculum just announced on Twitter that they are returning this week. It could be a bit Victorian at times but used to be a pretty safe bet.
That’s amazing news, they were the only ones worth listening to last season.
Oh that is good news
For any Spanish speakers that happen to see this …
I’m just hearing a Mexican pronounce “Yo” as “Yo” instead of “Jo”.
WTF is up with this? I’ve seen it suggested that Spanish speakers can’t actually hear the difference between Yo and Jo.
FMD.
Now she’s saying Jo!
Can’t believe she is YoJoing back and forth.
My understanding is that Jo is Argentina. Everyone else is yo. Also they pronounce double LL with a J rather than a y as well.
So Llama sounds like Jama?
Colombia pronounces double L as a J as well. Yes, everyone has been pronouncing Medellin wrong.
I noticed a lot of people in medellin pronounced it with a “sh” like med-ijshin.
I think its all regional though. My wife uses both. If she says “yo soy”, the yo is pronounced as “yo” if she says “soy yo”., the yo is pronounced as a “jo”
WIth the Argentine guy at work, when he pronounces Marcelo Gallardo, it sounds like yer Portuguese “X” , or in English more like a “sh”.
Yeah its like the Basque X right?
After spending a season pronouncing Cabello properly discovering the Argentinian pronunciation ticked me right off.
Hey @jubal1 or anyone with tech knowledge - Telstra keep banging on about how I can upgrade from FTTN to FTTP is it a relatively painless thing or does the process take time and the internet could be out for a while etc?
I currently get around 100Mbps download and 18Mbps upload which seems mostly fine, but there is the odd time where it buffers or things are crap when everyone is online etc.
If it’s an easy thing and doesn’t mean a lot of mucking around or outages etc then I’ll probably do it.
I’ve looked at it myself and I can’t tell whether it’s actually as simple as they make out, I wouldn’t bet on Telstra/NBN Co to get anything right without a couple of runs at it.
Apologies if this is telling you stuff you already know, but there’s typically three flavours of FTT* NBN (not counting hybrid fibre coax - HFC).
FTTN - fibre connection terminates at the nearest node, which could be a block or two away from your house. The last mile (which could be up to a couple of hundred metres) uses existing copper wiring from the node to your house.
FTTC - fibre connection terminates as the curb outside your house. The last mile (which is only a few metres, depending on how set back your house is) uses existing copper wiring from the curb to your house.
FTTP - fibre all the way baby! This of course requires them to replace the copper right up to your house with fibre, and depending on the age, geograpy etc. could be easy, or it could be…not so easy.
If you’re concerned (and you’re right to be), I would probably be asking if they can offer you something as an interim contingency (e.g. a 4G or 5G wireless thingy) that you can use if/when there’s likely to be any sort of outage to your internet.
It used to be the case that any change you wanted to anything to do with your internet (even back in ADSL days), it was guaranteed they’d fuck something up; but it does seem to have improved over time (anecdotally at least). When I moved house last year, I was all geared up for something to go wrong, and to my surprise it all went swimmingly.
