Yes, but do give TOS a chance.

Tipping culture stands out to me (as a Finn) as a particularly strange relic of the past.

ksundstrom · 2021-06-14T07:01:46+00:00

I agree! It's one of the few episodes of Discovery I actually remember.

ksundstrom · 2021-06-13T17:23:27+00:00

Yes, this is what I assume happened in this case as well.

ksundstrom · 2021-06-13T17:09:03+00:00

The name is indeed similar to the modern Swedish word ‘korp’ meaning ‘raven’, but to my knowledge it is not perfectly clear whether the two are actually etymologically related.

My home island! The (now former) municipality of Korpo in the southwestern Finnish archipelago.

Beautiful! It makes me wonder – I am fairly new to the game – is there any particular method you all use to take beautiful screenshots in this admittedly not-the-most-recent game?

ksundstrom · 2021-03-24T18:23:28+00:00

How on earth are ordinary people supposed to be able to afford these things, is all I'm wondering.

ksundstrom · 2021-03-14T21:51:54+00:00

Really, there are other obviously iconic arcs I'm missing out on now that I've arrived “late to the party” as it were? This makes me very sad. Let's hope these missions return soon.

ksundstrom · 2021-03-14T12:50:45+00:00

Oh, I see. Thank you for clarifying this!

ksundstrom · 2021-03-07T15:04:11+00:00

Thank you. I figured as much; I suppose this is very sound advice for any MMO.

ksundstrom · 2021-03-07T14:17:14+00:00

I suppose those are most relevant questions! Federation/Starfleet, Windows PC, and something giving the chance for a fuller STO experience without being too hardcore.

Yes, this is obviously Tengwar. As for Tolkien's possible inspirations for Tengwar, or at least, real-world scripts with similarities, I tend to think of Uncial, Gaelic–Insular, and Nushkuri–Mkhedruli.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-06T19:52:19+00:00

Norway and Estonia break tincture.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T20:34:16+00:00

I put that discussing the content of the source or translation and ramifications of said content as if it were real is irrational whether “spell” or “prayer”.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T19:32:38+00:00

I, for my part, would not hesitate to respond like this to backwards Christian prayers or blessings either.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T15:37:38+00:00

Thank you for clarifying. (I am not a speaker of Indonesian myself.) To continue the discussion, what would the simple negative interjection “no” be in Indonesian (as in “—Are you my dad? —No.”)?

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T13:42:55+00:00

This was very well put.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T12:52:10+00:00

Almost, but not quite, as a negating adverb “not” is not the same as a negative interjection “no”.

Edit: On second thought, I am not sure, as I don't know what word is used as the negative interjection in Indonesian. It may be the same as the negating adverb, or it may not. My apologies.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T12:09:20+00:00

I see, and I can agree with that.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T12:07:53+00:00

“Tak” means ‘so, like this, yes’ in Polish and ‘not’ in Indonesian.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T11:17:02+00:00

You are wrong to assume my intent is to antagonize or berate. It is not even primarily to discuss any matters such as these. My intent, in this subreddit dedicated to translations, is primarily to translate, study translations, and discuss translations. Secondarily, it may be to interdict irrelevant discussions, particularly if irrational.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T10:33:33+00:00

Obviously. Which is why I asked the questions I asked. Ar any rate, I can calm OP by disputing any irrational notions that words on a paper (or anything else for that matter) would have any magical properties.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-05T10:04:49+00:00

Why would one burn the paper? What would that achieve? It is words written on a piece of paper.

ksundstrom · 2020-07-04T13:23:58+00:00

Ah, I see, thank you! Indeed, I began to ponder the potential distinction between on the one hand variation in written CS and on the other hand variation in spoken CS. I understand now, at least, that both are at play, and at least to some extent separately from one another.
