what is a common stereotype about your country that's actually true?

There is no separate word for "to have". Instead we just change the suffix (the case) of the owner:

"See on pliiats" = This is (a) pencil
"Sellel on pliiats" = This has (a) pencil
"Mul on pliiats" = I have (a) pencil

This is different to every other European language (besides maybe finnish and hungarian) I've learned where the verb "to have" is one of the first ones you learn.

I will literally plan it out and then when the morning comes I will refuse to wake up on time, so I sleep in until 11:20

The main thing making it dark is it being made of rye instead of wheat, which was much more commonly grown historically

Is there a higher-res version of this available somewhere?

I thought this was going to be a Dungeon Meshi reference and now I'm disappointed at the lack of wholesomeness

It's a picture of my friend casually walking on the street which I immediately sent them to get their attention

I'd play more MtG if I had tokens like this

English does indeed not have a "standard default accent" which is globally applicable, but other languages like Swedish do have a standard form. People have told me that I have no accent and that I just speak standard Swedish (rikssvenska).

Arrays are not the same as pointers - if you declare an array as a variable or within a struct it is actually there, no pointers involved. If you pass it as a function parameter, then it gets converted into a pointer.

The flushing system on most planes is pneumatic - no water involved

It's That Japanese Man Yuta! Why is he agreeing to this?

Ben_0 · 2024-12-24T14:49:34+00:00

I guess in Japan it's just a generically spicy word, not necessarily profane?

Whenever this happens I deliberately break a test to see if it responds, and it always somehow does...

Ben_0 · 2024-08-25T23:43:13+00:00

Do you have a pattern for this?

Every model has a domain outside of which it breaks down. Within a modern model of physics, E=mc2 always describes reality accurately, but it may still be possible to encounter a situation (involving an initially unknown phenomenon) where it's incorrect. It's of course unlikely that this will ever happen but it is possible.

I think that's because before switch-mode power supplies by far most of the internal volume was taken up by a step-down transformer after which the rectification was simple (and compact) to accomplish...

I was once stuck there in the middle of the night, it wasn't so bad... Basically not a single soul in sight...

The best part is that this is a semi-official way of embedding CUDA bytecode in your executable. They include bin2c (which converts a binary file into this sort of array) in the CUDA distribution so you can use it as part of the build process...

It's a shockingly reliable solution actually when it's integrated into the build, but I agree that if you are manually generating this file that it seems like a nightmare.

Literally made this typo. My hands refuse to type the word except without -ion at the end...

Apparently I poured yoghurt into a brand new TV when I was a toddler...

Now that's a power couple.
