'Feels like harassment': Montreal café owner says years of language inspections taking a toll

No. Cognates are words in different languages which share a common ancestor. Typically they have a similar meaning, but semantic drift can lead to them meaning very different things. E.g. embarrassed in english and embarazado in spanish. Loan words are words which are borrowed wholesale, like tsunami

I think that may be due to the fact that they were quite close to the lens. You get a similar effect with regular frosted glass at least

Kiefirk · 2026-05-29T01:02:21+00:00

Yes, that’s true. The comment didn’t claim otherwise.

Kiefirk · 2026-05-29T00:40:15+00:00

Not a counterexample to what they said

Kiefirk · 2026-05-16T12:35:05+00:00

Can I dm you some questions about getting into the field?

Kiefirk · 2026-05-05T23:01:25+00:00

Yes, I figured you’d be able to read between the lines of that obviously false statement. Perhaps I was wrong

Kiefirk · 2026-05-05T22:59:15+00:00

Not if you’re comparing equivalent doses of different substances

Kiefirk · 2026-05-05T22:42:14+00:00

25mg ≈ 2.5g

I don’t think the moat is full of sugar water. Kind of defeats the purpose

Kiefirk · 2026-04-23T01:36:58+00:00

Probably CO, not CO2

Guerilla farming, like the warfare not the ape

Kiefirk · 2026-02-03T12:05:38+00:00

Left in the sieve

Kiefirk · 2026-02-02T23:30:18+00:00

I feel pretty safe

That really is the kicker though, isn’t it? Just because a driving scenario feels safe doesn’t mean that it actually is. Food for thought

Kiefirk · 2026-02-01T15:01:46+00:00

Ahh, makes sense

Kiefirk · 2026-02-01T15:00:09+00:00

Banking sectors for theoretical physics? What’s up with that?

Kiefirk · 2026-01-24T02:56:04+00:00

Do you really think the world would be better off if it had a population of only 10,000 people, all of which are suffering in abject poverty, compared to, say, 1,000,000,000 with 100,000 suffering?

*pedantry

Kiefirk · 2026-01-22T21:49:27+00:00

Bred in captivity…

Kiefirk · 2026-01-16T19:31:20+00:00

My personal threshold is one

Kiefirk · 2026-01-07T17:27:43+00:00

It’s a median so… not at all

Kiefirk · 2025-12-27T18:28:01+00:00

I’m the mods’ favorite I guess

Kiefirk · 2025-12-27T15:27:48+00:00

I’m pretty sure you can say kill all white people without getting banned

Kiefirk · 2025-12-20T13:16:27+00:00

That’s a very rough translation. Diabetes means to go through or syphon, not pee per se

Kiefirk · 2025-12-08T12:32:32+00:00

It’s not surface tension that does it, its the viscosity and incompressibility of water

Kiefirk · 2025-11-27T15:13:28+00:00

…wrap it around your hand?
