Knowledge Transferability in NixOS

In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds?

Recommendations for self-hosting a blog

Hi,...

What sci-fi would you recommend next?

I have soon finshed all of The Expanse (which I have enjoyed immensely) and last month I finished Peter F Hilton’s Pandoras Star.
