Huh, maybe I should start hosting my streams on YouTube instead of Twitch? Not super attached to the platform it's just what I knew how to use when I started streaming games.

E: But then I think about YouTube slamming me with copyright strikes and forcing my videos to be monetized when I'm not monetized, and that generally people don't look to YouTube when they're browsing for streams.

Anyone know why Twitch loads so much slower than other video hosting sites?

I'm able to watch Youtube perfectly fine, but Twitch runs so much slower, probably at best 1/3 the speed. And livestreams on Twitch are even worse.

If anyone has a solution, I'd be happy to hear that too.

I think the problem is that Twitch only allows you to stream at the quality that the streamer is uploading, unless the streamer is a partner. Was the streamer sending out 1080p 60fps video? What quality was the YouTube stream you saw?

wait, seriously? i've been sending out 1080p60 video to my random-ass friends? oof

Are there any historical examples of people losing their lower jaw entirely and surviving, and/or depictions thereof?

I had a look but couldn't find anything earlier than Ww1.

Well, there's always conditions like phossy jaw, so you could look at match factory workers in the 19th century.

How does the shortening of w/ for with and the without variant make sense?

Bonus question: wouldn't it make more sense if it was wð? Let's make that a thing.

I work in healthcare.  "with" is "-c", not w/

[scriver]

That makes even less sense!

Sometimes / is used to denote contraction by omitting the middle of a word. I think it just got out of hand from there.

To be f/r you o/y n/d two or t/e l/s to get the m/g j/t f/m the c/t. T/k of all the t/e I'm s/g!

I managed to read that, but it did need a bit of thought.

[scriver]

Also: I hate you for being able to make sense of that

[Arx]

To be f/r you o/y n/d two or t/e l/s to get the m/g j/t f/m the c/t. T/k of all the t/e I'm s/g!

We've established that given sufficient context, you don't even need the last letter.

[Kagus]

Punctuation helps, though.

So basically, if Sex is correct, it started as shortening without to w/o, maybe? And then shorted with w/o the o as a derivative. That makes a little more sense.

But how so you feel about wð? I really like it.

Still used to seeing this written in "nurse hieroglyphics" :
