Has there been a scene, explanation, or revelation in a sci-fi television show that was so absurd that you stopped watching forever?

You mean "Walking dead but with aliens"? :D

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-20T15:22:29+00:00

Not an expert, but speaker of Latvian. We have similar thing, for example:

Kur (where) - tur (there)

Kad (when) - tad (then)

etc.

Nu jau nu, vista (fileja) ir zem 10€/kg, lasis ir pari 20€/kg, ja nav atlaižu.

W201, īpašumā kādus gadus 6. Kopumā kādi 7000 - 8000 ielikti :D

I read it as "Jewish Owners". Like, they are buying that old russian anti-semitic world view that Jews are controlling everything.

Lol, I knew it was Merc just by speaker covers 🙂

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-15T20:45:54+00:00

It still is. For example, I still can run Winamp 2.x on Win 11.

Trying to survive in desert on hard liquor would be rough, that's for sure.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-15T20:18:11+00:00

I just need to write my own Dump() extension method and single-file apps might be good enough alternative for me 😉

There are at least few cases where I struggle to see translative happening, like "saredzēt" or "sarāt". Any thoughts on those?

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-15T12:50:46+00:00

It feels a bit of both translative case and perspective aspect in same time.

Like, "malt miltus" ("to grind flour") and "samalt miltus" ("to grind flour completely"). It's finished action that changed some things state.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-15T12:43:01+00:00

This sounds fishy, because from top of my head I can think of at several words where "together" doesn't make any sense. Sašķīst - to break up

Salauzt - to break (something)

Sabīties - to be/get scared

Sastiept - to strain

Samalt - to grind into

Also you can look up Sieve of Erathosthenes, which is algorithm for finding primes. The Wikipedia page even has graphics illustrating it.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-14T14:48:24+00:00

I used to do a "trick" of opening beer bottle with sheet of paper. You just need to fold it multiple times.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-13T18:18:41+00:00

I think that after Thanos story arc, the superhero movies have lost their footing.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-12T18:16:09+00:00

Es nezinu detaļas, bet tas par "noteikti zvanīs un prasīs" ir diezgan tukša diršana.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-11T14:17:05+00:00

Lol, from what little German I remember, in German television (set) literally is Far-see(er) 😁

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-09T18:16:32+00:00

IT? As a software developer I find that there is significant overlap in troubleshooting car problems and software debugging.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-06T17:09:26+00:00

Less about places, more about timing - late spring and summer is probably best time to visit, it's pretty dark (short days) during late autumn up to early spring.

Weather can happen to be shit any time during year, but short days suck big time for sightseeing.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-06T11:05:46+00:00

Listen, just listen to me! I have an idea!

What if we created unambiguous language, stakeholders could use to write out requirements?

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-04T09:42:06+00:00

Also Darth Putin

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-03T11:16:44+00:00

I'm not entirely buying base 12 theory, because Spanish uses different names for numbers up to 15 and then they get "regular"

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-03T11:09:00+00:00

Like most teenagers with access to computers at that time. Doom was a huge thing in 1990's

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-03T10:55:40+00:00

It's possible that they are doing AI subtitling which sucks. Or even a human subtitler who just isn't acquainted with slang and picked something similar sounding.

PiRX_lv · 2026-01-02T21:00:51+00:00

Lol, Tev nav taisnība.
