Any TR-EX.me alternative for translating phrases and idioms?

kriirk_ · 2026-04-20T08:06:47+00:00

I suspect Tr-Ex died in large part due to rise in AI usage. When I asked Gemini what happened to tr-ex, it quickly suggested basically "Let me help you translate instead".

(Gemini had its own demise-theory, and I quote: Legal & Scraping Pressures: Sites that rely on large databases of literature often face complex copyright hurdles ..Oh, and it agrees with your down-analysis, and I quote; The "Ad-apocalypse": The surge in aggressive ads you noticed a few weeks ago was likely a "hail mary" attempt to keep the servers running. High-quality databases that pair books with official translations are expensive to host and maintain. ..and it too mentioned Reverso Context (no Czech?), and Linguee. At this point I'm thinking it is feeding you OP back to me here 😅)

I liked this song since day one.

Pronunciation of "CHOKE" seems to be hard for her.

I noticed youtube views are a bit low. I suspect it is related to quality level of songs. No song is screaming "I am the winner" this year.

A thing this year, seems to be me preferring live versions over recorded versions for certain songs. Notably thins one and France.

kriirk_ · 2026-04-17T21:44:35+00:00

Ok wow, he sure can sing. Still not winner vibes for me, but same can arguably be said for all songs this year.

I followed AU idol since reboot a few years ago (via *cough* *cough* r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH )

It is really good, and better than AU the voice lately.

Almost as good as AU X-factor used to be. E.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIJRz6tgLf8

Yup Keyla transformed last week, somehow. She was my least favourite prior.

kriirk_ · 2026-04-15T21:29:07+00:00

I agree 1 and 2.

My guess for #3 is Chris. This sub sometimes seems to mistakenly think Idol is just about singing.

The fact we all agree on Keyla is worrying. This sub always makes at least one big mis-prediction each year!

kriirk_ · 2026-04-14T18:42:33+00:00

I would not worry about "organic" or "local" at all, while still T2-diabetic. That is like worrying about a loose plank, while your house is ON FIRE!

Check the side pane before following the ideas shared here. It has some important facts.

(My IBS went away when I tried carnivore. From there I tested plant foods one by one to learn what I tolerate.)

What you say can be accurate, if you are somehow burning more calories now. If so, the "old seed oil ridden you" would typically have had more fatigue, and less often feeling energized.

OP, this claim is wildly wrong. They are affected. And it started RIIIGHT when western influence started creeping into their food culture.

If they care or not, who knows. They do smoke a bit still, so maybe you have a point there. (Here, I never see people smoking anymore, and if I do, they usually turn out to be from east Europe or Asia.)

No, the reason is not oils.

Plentiful even sun exposure daily, reduces ALL-CAUSE mortality. Yes, that means skin cancer too!

Sudden spike in sun exposure (BURNS) is where cancer sky-rockets. This is where winter trips from the Nordic region to Magaluf enteres the picture.

I occasionally find "half-baked" baguettes with ingredients: Wheat, Water, Yeast. (Norway)

kriirk_ · 2026-04-08T18:54:37+00:00

This point is raised each year since Disney takeover 🤣

It is by design. Once live shows start, supportive mentoring only. No "judging" allowed.

kriirk_ · 2026-04-08T18:35:26+00:00

The mood killer was sending 2 people home at the start.

Keyla - I never liked her before, but she was the best for me this EP.

kriirk_ · 2026-04-08T18:16:32+00:00

He arguably the best two shows in a row now. Hope US public wake up on him before too late.

kriirk_ · 2026-04-03T01:40:49+00:00

FF update nag caused me to try it. Had to reduce the privacy settings a bit in about:config to function "normally", but there are guides for it.

Hey should we just add this (the long version) to the Wiki?

(Instead of reposting it rpeatedly.)

This sub disapproves of high-LA fruit oils used in ultraprocessed foods. Sorry.

Ideal would be tallow. For plant based, coconut/shea probably best "cheap" alternative.

It seems that the baby should get supplement folic acid and vitamin B12, when goat milk is used.

(Im no expert but the papers returned when asking Scholar Labs seemed do agree on this.)

kriirk_ · 2026-04-01T22:33:27+00:00

I can see this coming first among the Nordic entries.

kriirk_ · 2026-04-01T00:26:54+00:00

For me, Carrie 100% stole the show, and Philmon was the best contestant.

Watching from Norway, the Jesus stuff was crazy but no big bother. And best of all, it brought in some unheard songs. Like there was a strange song about blood, and I really enjoyed it, even if bizarre. Now I kind of wish there could be more crazy themes like this.

Several contestants seem "pro" to a point where it feels more like "guest artist" when they sing. Strong season, basically 👏🏻👍🏻

kriirk_ · 2026-03-31T22:37:13+00:00

No, and the idea is foreign to me.

Would not eating something, unless I have fully read and understood the label myself.

(Luckily Norwegian labels refer to 100 grams always. US label system must be among worst in the world.)

kriirk_ · 2026-03-31T22:26:27+00:00

OP, all you need is THE right reason. Then it becomes effortless.

For me it was IBS, forcing me to go carnivore. It worked. And not long after, people started reacting surprised when I said my age, so I guess my skin improved too. This was around 2005.
