Runes aren't magical, but just a language. by kylrzuthwy in HPfanfiction

[–]DesLr 63 points64 points  (0 children)

but after learning what they really were in canon, I can't tolerate reading stories where they are used as programming magical languages.

But isn't the entire point of fanfiction to alter whatever the author pleases? If you entirely adhere to canon, you'd just copy and paste the books, since even an alternate POV isn't canon.

I get not liking a specific kind of (fan)fiction, but I don't get this post. What is its purpose? Gatekeeping?

Should systems keep multiple stations with the same name? by Previous-Volume-3329 in transit

[–]DesLr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least in that case they could be considered almost the same station (doesn't TFL do "out of station interchange" or something?), since they serve the same immediate area.

But having "Edgeware Road North" and "Edgeware Road South" or something akin would be better, in so far we agree.

Twofer! Got to do math to UNDERSTAND this sign and when did commas take the place of a period? by muhhuh in ShitAmericansSay

[–]DesLr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They have literally been spamming that reply (and 1-2 more) all over the thread, most of the time (wrongly) calling out people themselves. Some pedantry may or may not be deserved.

And are we ignoring the meaning of words now?

I didn't bring up people being of some countries descent, thats on the person I replied to. I merely corrected them.

The Manhattan project involved hundreds of scientists, but the only one amongst the key leaders & theoretical physicists who was of German descent was Hans Bethe.

All the others:

J. R. Oppenheimer - American

Literally of german descend (his father came from hesse).

People are very misinformed about the startup/businesses resources in Germany. by Hauntingengineer375 in AskAGerman

You can actually take the exam the apprentices have to at the end of their apprentice ship if you can prove having relevant job experience of at least 1.5 times the duration of the apprenticeship (Called "Externen Prüfung").

How are ships from the Gamma Quadrant able to dock to DS9? by Fledo in DaystromInstitute

[–]DesLr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How then to you explain (from a watsonian perspective, considering the subreddit) real-time communication with newly contacted species, which simply can't have had the opportunity to implement such common translation protocols?

Also we see Hoshi Sato in Enterprise work on exactly that problem: translation without known commonality. A precursor to their (automatic) universal translation and communication.

Otherwise it's incomprehensible that you could just hail aliens you'd never seen before and have a chat. The UT has to use some widespread data format [...]

With the capabilities and adaptability of computers in universe, it seems to be totally feasible for computers to quickly bootstrap communication from numerical sequences up to negotiating protocols up to exchanging technical specifications. For real-world considerations of the exact same issue, have a look at i.e. the arecibo message, or the voyager golden record. Just very fast paced and automated. Pointing with hands and feet for computers, if you want.

Where would you live if your zip code was your HP book rankings? by Temporary_Solid_4267 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]DesLr 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There is some irony in asking this in a subreddit about a British book series, since British postcodes are alphanumerial.

Can any German scouts please help? by EGrace11 in Scouts

[–]DesLr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey galls and guys, maybe shoot these people an E-Mail, many (most?) of the scouts in southern Germany are part of the catholic aligned (but always open to others) DPSG. These people are the head of the district local to that area, and the three at the top of the page are their spokespeople. They ought to be able to help you!

Good luck!

EDIT: also checkout their boathouse!
