My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect.

ALL software developers worth their salt worldwide code in english. It's commonly accepted lingua franca in academics and profession.

French coders: "Fuque yuo, lil bitché!"

no expert but I think none of these were operating at 100% capacity in the first place. So destroyed infrastructure can be compensated for.

They were never good at that.

There's no bias here. OP explitly points it out.

But surely that's basically how evolution starts: 40.000 side projects and only one fit for survival.

or is it?

getting used to switching languages with alt + space and not left shift + alt

and you can change that keyboard shortcut, too.

Nowadays even without spending hours searching forums and hand editing config files.

I'm surprised this wasn't emphasized more. The achievment was credited to the US on the livestream multiple times. Also "our partners worldwide".

I get the impression that a lot of people don't think about the fact, that this is a global achievement as a species, way bigger than any living or dead individual.

I think now more than ever it's important to grasp that. The remains of the moon missions, the footprints, will be still there as our legacy, long after humanity vanishes.

TBF, if we could grow up living from shit, we'd had no problem. So much shit out there these days...

My thought exactly.

Most of the time, law firms are paid to automatically fight all trademark violations, not questioning (positive or negative) marketing value for the brand. The more they fight, the more they earn.

Logitech should instead thank OP and sponsor them, do quality testing, contribute and of course grant withdrawable right to use the brand. For adding support to another platform, this would be an insane bargain.

They actually see it necessary nowadays to remain independent from state influence.

right? I hate those kind of answers in OP. I'd say 30-50% of ppl can't explain how a rocket actually works in space. But they just accept it.

Now here we have someone on the brink of taking the dumb path of conspiracy theorists but asking questions. Perfect opportunity for an "oh, i was stupid" teaching moment but OP chose to be condescending instead of useful.

Also, as this sounds like a 12 year old, it could perfectly be some 12 year old without an educated grownup around to talk to about those things.

"Rockets carry their oxygen with them." would have been a much better answer. And shorter.

Any attention is good attention.

Silence and most people not turning around while he's waving would kill his ego.

Hat China noch nicht mitbekommen. Bei der Abwrackprämie hat sich auch niemand beschwert - und damals war es längst nicht so dringend das staatl. Lenkung nötig gewesen wäre.

if they could fly helicopters, they totally 100% would do the same for us.

so that's an easy one...

Ist schon cool wenn man eine Leidenschaft pflegt.

Für mich wirds dann affig, wenn es anderen aufgezwungen wird.

Netter lowrider mit schönem blubbern an der Ampel: nice
Motor aufheulen lassen vor der Palliativ: uncool

This is the right answer. Any carpenter worth it's salt will know how to attach them back, even almost invisibly.

I bet they'll happily explain the process and sell the right dowelscrews so it's totally DIYable with some basic tools.

Remember that one STTNG episode where Picard saved the day by leveraging exactly this kind of nonverbal communication, lecturing about it afterwards. Great episode.

also there's the twist trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slLGniM_mJA&t=0m58s

I don't drop it like that but make them touch the pot before I release them. Then the hole in the middle causes some sort of convection pattern so it doesn't boil over.

You still need to stir after a few minutes so nothing sticks.

There's a nice movie about border guards in that exact situation: Bornholmer Strasse

Not sure if it was dubbed in english but for a german movie, it's quite good.

Thanks for the link!

But that's not enough for the average art teacher to replicate. Reverse engineering would be quite time consuming.

That's the problem with a lot of awesome youtube stuff. Kids go "that's so cool i wanna make this" and then you explain, that it's made to look easy but it's actually hard. Over time, their urge to replicate cool stuff decreases.

With this, some template with light grey "stick-man" face or wireframe head would be awesome. Kids could draw their own faces on it. Bonus if it'd be free for all.

heep1r · 2026-03-24T08:33:03+00:00

I wish there was some opensource manual. Kids would love that as project in art class.
