lpvhq1 | Were books from around 1800 as hard to read for the people back then as they are for us nowadays? (And vice versa?) I'm (trying) to read Kant right now (I'm German by the way) and I find it rather difficult to understand. It is not that he is using old words that do not exist anymore but rather that the sentences are i... | I mean, Kant and Hegel are literary the worst writers to read. And long sentences were generally more in back then. I like the explanations in the other comments | Hello! Thank you for posting your question to /r/asklinguistics.

z2t4lo | Why does my cat bring me the same toy every night? So, my husband and I adopted 2 kittens a little over a year ago. A boy and a girl, they’re a little over a year old now. We also moved about 5 months ago and ever since getting into our new apartment, our male cat, Pippin, has been doing this thing where he’ll bring us... | He’s hunting! My cat brings me her favorite today every night and it’s my favorite thing. I usually give her a groggy “good job baby” and go back to sleep | Is your female cat named Merry, by any chance?? (I definitely thought about that combo for my brother/sister duo!) I have three cats that all engage in this behavior. They each have their own specific, earmarked toys that are brought upstairs daily (or even more than daily, if I do my job and put them back to be re-hun... | answer_1 |

I'm not really sure why but I think he thinks he is bringing us a present. | Is your female cat named Merry, by any chance?? (I definitely thought about that combo for my brother/sister duo!)

They always bring us their favourite toys - it's like a present, really - the way they'd bring you a kill as a 'gift'. Only neither of these cats hunt so they bring their favourite toys instead. Both have a very specific meow they use as they're coming into the ... | My elderly cat does this. It took him about 5 years to play with anything. But he’ll occasionally bring me a toy or two, making a big fuss about it when he does. But usually it’s his favorite Christmas themed mouse toy with a bell. Pеrsonally I think it’s just his way of being like “Look Ma, I killed it. This is for yo... | answer_2 |

She brings it to me in the middle of the night and has a specific meow. It’s not a toy she plays with, she just brings it around the house and will drop it places for me. I call it her lovie, reminds me of a little kid with a blankie. | We have two cats. The youngest has done this since she first came home with a plastic spring. She trained me into throwing it, and we play fetch every night for 1-2 hours once I get in bed… pretty much never any other time. In between throws when she overpowers it around, she yowls.

2734692 | AVL tree vs. B-tree <sep> How is an AVL tree different from a B-tree? | An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree, balanced to maintain O(log n) height. A B-tree is a balanced tree, but it is not a binary tree. Nodes have more children, which increases per-node search time but decreases the number of nodes the search needs to visit. This makes them good for disk-based trees. For m... | answer_1 | |

When I started filling out forms you gave you the choice single/married/widowed/divorced. Then it was realised that many people were in long-term relationships so co-habiting or partner became included but... | Logically, it would seem that the opposite of "livei-n partner" would be a "live-out partner", but I think most people wouldn't follow. In polyamory circles, a partner one lives with is a "nesting partner", so one one doesn't live with would be a "non-nesting partner". Most people would likely not be familiar with the ... | answer_1 |
