In some cases, it can be used as a greeting, but will still mean "How is it progressing?" If person A knows about person B's progress on an important essay, they may begin, "How's that essay coming along?" So, it can be used as a greeting or conversation starter. It is usually used with context and not arbitrarily. How's things is one; it's in a colloquial register, in my opinion - you wouldn't use it in a scientific paper, for instance. It's us is a similar 'wrong agreement' idiom, widely accepted in almost every register. @StuartF: Obviously as a native Anglophone I'm quite familiar with the usage / semantics of the idiomatic expression itself, but the little bit of "research" I did before commenting above didn't get me anywhere near the level of understanding that user66974's answer provides in terms of origin / etymology. You could also say it this way: "how do you do" back has been replaced with an equally meaningless reply. It is just an exterior change of convention; etiquette demands that you give only one answer when asked about your well-being in somewhat formal situations: you are doing well, thank you.

There’s no simple answer to any question of the form “How is <letter>/<digraph> pronounced?” It depends. As you’ll have seen in the Wikipedia article, what would have been pronounced /ai/ in Latin is usually pronounced /iː/ in English, but there are inevitably exceptions like the name Æleen, or examples like paedophile where the British rendering /iː/ goes through both a spelling ... All are acceptable, so you should follow your judgement. British usage generally favours rather more hyphens than American usage; I'd use co-founder since cofounder doesn't look all that natural. @Mitch: As an American, I'd mostly agree with Matthias that "lunch" refers to a noon-time meal and "supper" to an evening meal regardless of size, while "dinner" specifically refers to a larger or more formal meal. I think this question is actively pernicious. By implying that there's something wrong with <i>the way real people actually use the "how are you" standard greeting-and-response</i> in the title, you run a serious risk of hopelessly confusing students of the language who don't know any better.

2025.01.24 23:00 Here_be_dragonsss Has anyone used Daz3D to make an avatar with ARKit tracking?
Hello again! I'm attempting to build a photo-realistic avatar of a real person for 3D v-tubing. Daz3D looks like a viable source of realistic 3D content, so now I'm now trying to figure out if I can use it to make the 50+ blend shapes needed for ARKit tracking. I'm very new to Daz so I'm having trouble figuring out if this is even possible--searching the store for ARKit/face tracking morph targets doesn't give me anything useful.
I'm a 3D modeler and I can do it by hand in Blender, but we're on a time crunch so it would be great if I could simply purchase something. Has anyone managed to get a workable v-tuber model out of Daz3D

2025.01.24 23:00 EvilDragon625 I was secretly filmed in PE class at a Russian college, wearing a crop top, arm warmers and thigh-highs. The video went viral, gaining hundreds of thousands of views. The comments are filled with hate, judgment, and stereotypes. Do people really judge someone based on their clothes?

2025.01.24 23:00 FivezNX1 Help I'm LaGgInG!
I used to play Spider-Man and I was pretty good at it too. But then I started lagging like crazy. I switched over to Moon Knight (who is my favorite marvel character) but I don't get the same feeling destroying people with the fist of Khonsu as I did zipping around the map as Spidey. I have all my settings down to the lowest possible and my pc is pretty decent with a 3060 and 16 gigs of ram. Are there any other settings on my computer that could help (I closed all the unnecessary apps in task manager) or some secret trick in MR that I could use? I would really appreciate the help
