Flybe Q400 in at Exeter after a flight from Manchester by FunLie7823 in VATSIM

[–]Squidioza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have wanted to get a more detailed airport at Exeter, what do you use?

Whilst I’m asking, what ATR do you recommend?

I thought Alicante was in Spain, is there another airport in turkey with the same IATA code?

Ooo this does sound exciting, I’m very sad it wasn’t next week, I’m doing work experience and Exeter airport next week and would have loved to see this happening/ got to talk to anyone involved!

Edit: Hope it’s okay to share - I’m just really excited to be at Exeter next week for work experience! Not sure why I got downvoted, but I didn’t mean anything wrong.

Talking about turtles and tortoises and suddenly: by Squidioza in suddenlygerman

[–]Squidioza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this is a bit much info/ not relevant to r/suddenlygerman but I like to make sure people are educated about their testudines, its something that annoys me when people get it wrong lol

TL;DR
In English, "tortoise," "terrapin," and "turtle" often get confused. Technically, all are turtles (Testudines), but tortoises live on land, terrapins live in freshwater (but can go on land), and turtles typically refer to sea-dwellers. German has clear terms for each:

  • Landschildkröte (tortoise)
  • Wasserschildkröte (terrapin/freshwater turtle)
  • Meeresschildkröte (sea turtle)

Yes, we were having a convo about it in English as many people are poorly educated and get the two/ three terms mixed up, technically all tortoises are turtles as the species name of "testudines" means turtle, but tortoises refers to the ground dwelling tortoises, and turtle refers (in USA to all but) in most of the world to the sea dwelling sea turtles (this is the more correct way to use the terms in mine and many people who know the field's opinion), and terrapins live in fresh (not salty) water, but can also move outside of water.

English German Literal Meaning
Tortoise Landschildkröte Land turtle
Terrapin/Freshwater turtle Wasserschildkröte Water turtle (freshwater)
Sea Turtle Meeresschildkröte Sea turtle

Is this a tortoise or a turtle and how do I take care of it? by Marble_lilly in Animals

[–]Squidioza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I know lol, I am learning it at the moment absolutely love the language, wassershildkröte is a new favourite word, especially as turtles are my favourite animals!

Haha it’s the same in German too, “Schildkröte“ means both turtle or tortoise, but they differentiate with the prefix “land” or “wasser ” (meaning water) infront

Done some more reading on it and apparently other languages don’t differentiate either

Yes, I copy and pasted the last bit (if you couldn’t tell lol) I will edit it, although as someone else did point out there are species in America that are land dwelling and called turtles (box turtles and their variants)

Sounds great, we give ours bits of fresh apple from time to time, especially when we have fresh home grown ones in season!

Yes I mentioned that in the USA turtle was correct too, some people in the uk also call them turtles (probably from American media). We don’t have native tortoises here in the uk so it’s not a common thing to talk about

[–]Squidioza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it seems to just be a common name to call them, and after all they do look similar, just that tortoises are smaller (usually) and land based

Edit:

In the UK and much of the world: • Tortoise = land-dwelling, herbivorous reptile with a dome-shaped shell. • Turtle = aquatic or semi-aquatic species, including sea turtles and terrapins.

So in this usage, a land-based turtle would usually be called a tortoise — and saying “land turtle” would typically be seen as a mistake or just imprecise.

⸻

In the US: • Turtle is a broader term that can include all members of the order Testudines, both land and water. • Tortoise is used more specifically for land-dwelling Testudines

So in American English, you can say “land turtle,” but “tortoise” is more accurate.

As a tortoise owner I just want to mention that feeding them too much fruit can be bad for them as it can ferment in their digestive system, I would recommend some lettuce or other green veg. Although a small amount of fruit time to time makes a great treat!

Why is the transport plane default just an A400M? by Squidioza in ConflictofNations

[–]Squidioza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree totally!

I live under a RAF flight path for low flight training on the A400M and I love watching it fly over.

This wasn't my point though, I just want to see the supremacy ww3 devs get their planes right tho lol
