Air is a gas with fluid suspension, not a fluid.
I was taught air and gasses are fluids in my college fluid dynamic series of classes, though that was many years ago.

People use air coming from their lungs to make sound
Air is a fluid, as well; so why cant the amniotic fluid be used to make sound? Vocal cords not working to vibrate as fast to make noise with amniotic fluid vs air is a good plausible answer to me by @DrzztLink

Your vocal cords aren't really designed to work in a fluid environment.

IIRC it makes a bit of noise but more like a grinding sort of sound than a cry.

Technically, air is a fluid so your lungs are still full of fluid now. Speaking of which, how come babies inside the womb cant scream, with the womb water? Babies in womb practice breathing I wonder if babies can scream or cry inside the womb.

Googled this and babies do cry in the womb, but no sound is made because theres no air. I wish they explained more like why do you need air to make a sound? Theres a fluid in there to carry sound

No ones working, as in every last engineer has quit/got fired? That cant be so.
Elon sent out an ultimatum- sign this pledge that youll work hardcore, or get fired now with a 3-month severance. Reports say thousands of employees chose the latter and left. Elon then kicked everyone out of the office and removed remote access because he allegedly feared sabotage. So for like 2 days, no one worked on Twitter. This is what led to a lot of people speculating Twitter will literally fall apart and be unusable by now (which obviously is proven false).

Elon apparently ordered everyone whos still working to come into the office last night though

Basically a complete shit show.

Correct answer: I would appreciate that you dont at this stage, as my current employer is unaware of my job search at the moment. However, once we determine that I am a good fit for your company and that the company is a good fit for me, you can certainly contact my current employer to verify what I told you and what you assumed about my professional work.

Considering you're calling the Pixel a POS, it sounds like you already made your decision lol

So I had a Pixel 6 Pro and it really was a buggy POS. I ditched that and got the 14 Pro for free trading that one in the day of release. Got a 6A for free, couldnt say no. I consider it a POS because it doesnt do the one thing I use it for well (the baby tracking app is poorly optimized for android vs iPhone).

She actually doesnt use it, obviously. I just have it at her room and we use it as a dedicated device for tracking baby stuff (feedings, sleeping, etc.).

This is wrong. Kamoshida was trying to pressure her into having sex with him, but after she refused it's implied that he raped Shiho, hence why she attempted suicide.

Left4Doge posted...
I think was more rumors that were spread about her. Kamoshida tried pressuring her into sex, Ann had enough and tried to break the cycle, so he pressured Shiho into it instead to keep her spot on the volleyball squad.
I took it as the volleyball teacher beating Shiho, not sexually assaulting her (i.e., the guy's sadistic and likes to hurt kids).

Maid Teacher- this is a wtf lol. Definitely Japanese game for sure. I think its comical how she switches back and forth from lovey dovey talk to a mother like concern.

Student Detective- I really dont give a shit about this dude. His status makes no sense why would a high school kid even be a detective?

Gun store owner- Selling fake guns is tough and scary? LOL. REAL gun stores arent scary or tough in anyway! This whole hide this fake gun from the police is comical.

Restarted this game after figuring out its a social sim and not like a set story / open world RPG, and I think the game is a lot better with that mindset.

Im at 6/24, just finished the 3rd palace and Makoto seems like the best character so far.

Ryuji is just an annoying character with no likable features and I dont care about his sports background at all.

Ann is a ditsy idiot shes so forgettable; I dont remember anything about her except she tries to help her friend.

Yusuke is a little pretentious, but hes okay. I havent started his social thing yet.

Morgana is annoying as hell.

Makoto is like the only likable character so far. She has a Im not useless! moment and she seems genuinely nice and caring, unlike everyone else so far.
