Why does the letter " Q " always followed up by the letter " U " in English words?

Except the borrowed words from other languages.

Why are there so few words in the English dictionary which have a "q" that isn't followed by a "u"?

Does this have something to do with Latin, or with possible Arab influences on the English language?

In the english language, not only must a β€œq” be followed by a β€œu”, but β€œqu” must also be followed by a vowel.

List of highest damage weapons on Riven, the highest currently is 1kv followed by a green grenade launcher, prospector is not even close

In light of the recent update I decided to spend a few hrs today testing a huge variety of weapons against riven. All tests were done in a well, without armor reserves or any other buffs or perks. The 5 highest damaging single weapons in order are the 1kv (by far), Penumbra gsm (a green grenade launcher from the main campaign), the two legendary precision launchers, any agressive gl w spike nades, followed by any agressive gl. As a side note the absolute highest dmg weapon/combo when tractor cannon would be a swarm of the raven (iron banner gl) w spike nades & to armor reserves followed very, very closely anarchy + orewings maul (gambit prime breach launcher) w spike nades and no armor reserves needed.

All damage numbers were then divided by 1.35 to get the raw damage numbers (values without well). All weapons were tested until empty or until riven exploded. Also clusters are not dead, using the old bad omens I averaged around 1.05mil, so with the typical buffs (well + meele + tractor + banner) you should hit around 2.8mil with 6 rockets and 0 blessings/curses, w 1kv or penumbra gsm and the same set of buffs you should hit 3.7 or 3.5 respectively. I plan to post more data in a spreadsheet on raidsecrets later for anyone interested.

On to the numbers (+ a few extra popular theories/choices, this is not everyrhing I tested if you have another weapon I can prbly tell you the dmg value).

  1. 1KV = 1.56mil

  2. Penumbral Gsm = 1.4mil

  3. Sunrise GL4/Orthrus = 1.36mil

  4. Agressive frame GL w Spike Nades = 1.24mil

  5. Agressive frame GL w/o Spike Nades = 1.18mil

-) Prospector = 1.01mil

-) Cluster Bomb Rocket = 1.05mil

-) Two Tailed Fox = 1.13mil

-) Wardlciff = Dont try, but around 0.9mil

-) Breach Loading grenade launchers = 1.06mil

-) TLord = 1.03mil

-) Malfeasance = 0.6mil (Highest dmg Primary Weapon vs riven)

TLDR: Rockets are still fine, but there are now weapons significantly stronger than them. For the easiest kill you probably want to use 1kv if you have it or the green grenade launcher Penumbra GSm if you dont. Now go out there and melt riven guys.

ELI5: (At least in English) Why when followed by certain words (specifically I've noticed with anything that starts with "you") do words ending in "t" often end up sounding like "tch". For example; "I love that about you." often ends up sounding like "I love that aboutch you."?

Can a simple list of English words be protected by copyright? (Canada)

This is a repo containing an alphabetized list of ~370,000 english words. The author mentions that the list originates from a group calling themselves infochimps, and notes that they still own the copyright.

But can they? Gathering the words for the list definitely took some effort, but they're not really arranged in a meaningful way, just sorted alphabetically. If there were definitions, or rhymes, or something then I would say they get the copyright 100%, but for just a list, I don't know.

This is sort of hypothetical, I'm planning on using the list for a program for personal use, maybe shared with a reddit post as a curiosity, but nothing commercial. But if I was planning on using this for some business or otherwise widely published use, would I have to negotiate a license from infochimps?

I live in Canada, but if you have an opinion based on US law then feel free to chime in.

Get list of public folders containing word "Boardroom"

I need to get list of all public folders containing word "Boardroom" and view the permissions and then edit the permissions.

From my limited knowledge I cobbled up this to view permissions:

Get-PublicFolder -Identity "-Like "*\Board*"" -Recurse | Get-PublicFolderClientPermission | where{$_.Accessrights -eq "owner"}

But it fails with error "A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '*\Board*'."

Also I will be removing all existing permissions and assigning permissions to 5 users for all these Boardroom calendars, What will be the most efficient way to go around that? Thanks in advanced team
