I think a shot to the pelvis
Regarding your computer, at any rate it's always cheaper to build one yourself, but with Apple that's not really an option.
Unless it's really that unthinkable for you to desert Apple (I wouldn't begin to understand why, but hey), you'd really save a lot of money. With a little patience, waiting for good deals and with good advice, a state-of-the-art PC is easily less than 1000€. And you can even save a couple hundreds on the OS licence if you go for Linux 🙂
Admittedly, you'll need a bit of getting used to, but it's always useful to be proficient on several operating systems.
My mom had a Toshiba laptop and after about two years the battery would not work at all so the thing had to always be plugged in and the plastic shell on the bottom bit was coming off. It was also stuck on vista so that didnt help
1:23:50 Arabic arranges it's letters according to how closely shaped each letter is to the others and then group by group until it gets to the "sundry other" section at the end. Like Ba, Ta, Tha all form a wide, flat bowl shape so they go together with varying diacritics. And Jeem, Ha and Kha look like the number 5 with different dots (or lack thereof) so they all go together.
Side note:
Ya looks like Ba, but goes alongside Yaw because they sound simailar. And Alif (sound "Ah") starts off the Abjad.
My concountry is a parliamentary monarchy, but the monarch has a relatively lot of power
The glottal stop is just as much a sound as [p t k], all of them are "cutting off air", you just don't think people have glottal stops word initially because that is the default for vowel initial words in English, they aren't phonemic in English but they occur word initially especially when a word is pronounced in isolation.
With the alphabet for my conlang, I ordered the letters according to the way they are written. The vowels are first, in order from the largest letter to the smallest, then a series of consonants starting with a character that has lines on the left and top of the "character space", then just the top, then top and right. After that are the "wind consonants": h and w, again ordered by size of character. Then the letters that correspond to English phonemes that are written as consonant clusters (because I made this in middle school and haven't actually changed the order since)
A comment regarding "S**t Flag Corner" the depiction as included in the wikipedia article is the authour's "own work". So yeah this depiction might well be done by an amateur in MS paint. Do your research before you rip into something prematurely. Not saying the real flag looks better, as I can't seem to find a real picture anywhere.
1:32:00 (mines of moria "say friend and enter") I seem to remember that it was the elvish language but in the dwarven script.
