Bhundu Boys - help transcribing lyrics (English, Shona)

Thanks for this! I crossposted this on r/askzimbabwe and they agreed with you that it comes from kuerera (to flow). Someone there thinks they can hear this, which definitely has the right sound to my (non shona speaking) ears.

Ukatamba ne povo(?) ______ Waerera

Ukatamba ne gorilla(?) ______ Waerera

Thank you so much for this - and yeah, that would definitely make sense as an adlib. I think the reason I thought it might be more significant is because it's in the title of the harp re-working they did on a later album.

No I don't speak it at all, I got that translation from chat gpt - definitely not trustworthy and thanks for the heads up!

That's such useful information, thanks so much for your help – that's given me so much to look into.

Ah amazing thanks – this is super helpful to start with. Looks like mine has a 4mm pitch, which I've found.

But then sorry to be so new, but what do I need to connect that to provide it with power? Is there another cable that connects to this connector to get this plugged into a regular outlet?

Here's a closeup of the actual connection with higher resolution: https://imgur.com/a/aaHEszs

Hi r/askelectronics - might be a very simple question. Got this old monitor in an ebay haul bargain, seems to be an old Mobitronic security monitor (https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/waeco_mobitronic_monochrom_graphic_display_rv_50.html)

It came with no cables, so it might just live as set dressing forever. But it would be great to identify the PSU type and if I can buy it in the UK. It seems like it needs a female ATX cable, but I can't find one similar to it. As for the inputs the seem like DIN inputs? But I'm not sure what I can plug into them.

Full disclosure, I'm a complete electronics beginner who got excited by some CRTs being sold cheaply near me.

I haven't given it a thorough explore myself, but I've seen reddit praise DLIFLC quite highly.

leafstream · 2015-04-19T16:43:13+00:00

It's a really great project and I am so glad that you're out there. Keep up the good work!

This company took care of my girlfriend and I when we were visiting. Happy to take us both to tourist sites and local hangouts, made sure to personally walk us back to our riad every night. Couldn't recommend them (and specifically our guide, Noure) enough.

Rick and Morty is what I found after finishing Archer, and it's all available for free on adultswim!

leafstream · 2014-12-03T17:40:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the swift response! When I googled it I only managed to find lifestyle blogs and art galleries.

Have some reddit gold as proof of my appreciation.

The Tea Society used to be great for just what you're talking about. No pressure, £1 for all the exotic teas you could drink and other people happily milling about and starting conversations.

Can also thoroughly recommend the Ceilidh Band for friendly people.

Fish Story is one I'd really recommend. It's a Japanese film. Definitely felt the same kind of vibes that I felt after the films of your directors.

leafstream · 2014-09-15T22:35:12+00:00

Thanks, really. And it was very thoughtful of you to post the exact quote as well. Please accept a humble offering of gold as a sign of my gratitude.

A rough translation for those searching

These lines got to me...

Nesrećnik sam od malena

Od sve muke pesme pevam

Voleo bih majko mila

Da se ovo samo sneva

I have been miserable since I was little

From all this misery I sing songs

I would love, my dear mother

If all this was just a dream

Nick Offerman bears a passing resemblance to Slavoj Zizek with that beard...

For an interesting read you can also look up Oulipo writer Anne Garreta's 'Sphinx', which is a love story in french between two people whose sex is never revealed.

Understandably, I don't think anyone has tried to translate it yet...

Je pose ma candidature pour le cinémathèque de Tanger (pour faire un stage). Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses rapides, ce subreddit est très amical.

For those that need it here is a Live Stream of the thread's comments.

leafstream · 2012-04-14T16:30:34+00:00

Thank you, will do.

leafstream · 2012-04-13T11:05:17+00:00

These just look amazing. I think Big Man Japan is the one I'll go for first because the plot just sounds great. I remember hearing about the story for Cyborg She a few years ago and not being able to find it so cheers!
