That’s not how language works, that’s how culture works. Mrs and mr are referred to you, not relatively to your spouse. I am Mr John Smith, even if I’m married to Mrs Amy White. Amy is not Mrs Smith and John is not Mrs White. They are Mr Smith and Mrs White. In the usa for some reason it’s custom that the woman changes surname to that of his husband, in many other places it was like that in the past but ia not anymore
That’s a little sexist, don’t you think?
Fairphone 3+ working really well for 4 yeats, but I feel it might be a little hit and miss, for example another person I know got more issues with fingerprint sensor and if it falls wrongly (like on the buttons, there might be issues you don’t have otherwise
Agree. Some expressions become so iconic they get genderless. Just like sometimes it’s accept to use “man” and “dude” as a genderless exclamation
With a thick smoke noone will be crossing the bridge, so it’s safe to bomb.
(/s but not too muchI guess)
So that’s a bridge. They can get the coordinates very simply just from google maps. Ukraine jas access to modern western weapons which I assume are gps-guided. How effective really is a smoke screen unless Russia is able to jam gps signals over a 19km long bridge?
I wonder why they escaped… They come from the most oppressive country in the world and suddenly they are trasported in the middle of Europe. I guess many places would be happy to take them. If I were one of those soldiers, I would learn how to say “I surrender” and “I know where russians troops sleep” in ukrainian
Indeed you should if you are not too hot. For diseases that can be cured otherwise do that first (antibiotics for batterial infections), there are still not good medicines for virus infection, so better let your body fight the infection and decrease your temperature only if too high
You pay a small tax for public channels (that should have no ads) and you pay for satellite tv
Booby trapping violate the same traties, especially hiding explosives in food. If ukrained wanted to commit war crimes, they would choose the smart way, this is just idiotic russians feeding lies to idiotic people
It is not, but it’s also hard to notice as a tourist. I’ve learnt that from here
(Assuming you mean DVB-T). In some place OTA is just the standard. Where I’m from cable TV is simply unheard of and all terrestrial digital channels are free with varying degree of ads.
Another great example of how things work so different in different parts of the world
That matches my experience. My great aunt lost her husband 15 years ago, but kept going strong and relatively healthy up until 92, then her last sister died (quite unexpectedly) and her health started visibly deteriorating.
After a long hospitalization she got back home, but couldn’t walk anymore. We were prepared to a long recovery, but after some promising days, as you said, she ate and talked less every day that passed, at one point she actively refused to eat and drink and just laid in bad. The last day or two she made noises and laments, but was basically unresponsive, with audible stops in breathing that increased as time got along. The only moments of lucidity were when she needed to go to the bathroom (absolutely physically unable to). We believed it was mostly for pride over wearing diapers and to have a last glimpse on independance.
Then she died and we all agreed at some point she just refused to live on, too old and too alone to handle the world. I wonder how much was a concious decision and how much a simple reduction in self preservation (maybe an automatic response of the body when getting to a real old age? I don’t know).
Anyway, our biggest relief was that we could bring her home, so she died in peace surrounded by family.
Looks like a field that can be cultivated, maybe they wanted to preserve it? Or simply too close to infrastructure or civil areas? Or they removed the charge and detonated it while keeping the rest of the bomb to study it? I don’t know, just guessing, would be curious to know as well
A big part of communication is learning to modulate your language registers. If you speak like a scientic paper is written when talking with your friends, people look strange at you.
Also, sometimes simpler communocation is just more effective communication
I am an obsessive thinkerer. For me thinkering means tewaking you installation, get plugins, run weird scripts to do weird stuff. Wasting time kf real work to fix your wifi is not thinkering, it’s just frustrating
Many languages have it. English for some reason does not use it
Because “ai” ad we colloquially know today are language models: they train on and can produce language, that’s what they are designed on. Yes, they can produce images and also videos, but they don’t have any form of real knowledge or understanding, they only predict the next word or the next pixel based on their prompt and their vast examples of words and images. You can only talk to them because that’s what they are for.
Feeding research papers will make it spit research-sounding words, which probably will contain some correct information, but at best an llm trained on that would be useful to search through existing research, it would not be able to make new one
Globally, it’g gone up. The US is not representative of the entire planet
At least it’s ugly as hell because it’s made to he as cheap as possible. I think it goes for around 5k€ which is pretty good (less than some apple’s computerd)
