Started playing on crossplay between PC and Android, but the android client would consistently freeze while mining rocks in the mine or chopping trees on the farm. It’s not officially supported yet, so happy to wait for the update. Otherwise it worked really well.

Basically an early version of Wi-Fi calling before Wi-Fi calling was a thing. You signed up for a SIM-free phone number tied to your Google account that allowed you to make calls as long as you had Internet. Calls between US numbers were totally free, even if the Google voice person was in a different country

Anyway, Google voice is still around and has an app. So if you have a Google voice number, you have a totally separate dialer and text message set up, that’s distinct from the one for your regular number. But, as I mentioned, the text message part still doesn’t support RCS. Pretty embarrassing for Google

Google voice does not support RCS. Typical Google bullshit

I heard it was some boomer customer that ratted him out

May I see it?

That makes sense. Thank you for that bit of Fresh Prince lore!

I remember something about him traveling across the United States in the cab. I mean how much would that cost?!

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air” (Los Angeles)

Der Hund, die Katze, das Pferd

But I couldn’t before!

I thought I read that grapefruit can also cause problems with certain ones

It’s this loss(less compression)

It says if you can read the sign, you’re in range. It’s an anomaly, after all.

Why not?

That’s rash city, Jake, rash city!

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?
