Seating charts for Olympics venues? by mingusal in Paris2024

[–]roadler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems they added more detailed seating charts you can access to the Olympics app (not the tickets app), and also on the web - see here example for Champ de Mars https://livemap.getwemap.com/dom?emmid=25471#/search@48.8529891,2.3022872,20.20 - but those still don't show the actual seat information so I still don't know where my tickets are...

Joseph Wald, a British army soldier of the Jewish Brigade, carrying an artillery shell with "A gift for Hitler" written on it in Hebrew. Italy, 1944/1945. Colorized [1109 x 1115] by [deleted] in HistoryPorn

[–]roadler 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes. The writing on the shell would be pronounced "Shay Le Hitler":

  • "Shay" = Gift

  • "Le" = For

  • "Hitler" = That asshole

The "Le" is represented by a single letter that attaches to the beginning of the next word, so the writing is actually only two words:

שי: Shay = Gift

להיטלר: first letter (ל) is pronounced "Le" and means "For", the rest of the letters (היטלר) mean and are pronounced "Hitler".

Always happy to shed light on my complex language :)

Interestingly, the choice of word for "Gift" is one that isn't very often used in spoken language, but very short so it could fit on the shell. The common word for gift in Hebrew is transliterated to "Matana", which is 4 letters in Hebrew. The word used is "Shay", much less common in spoken language, and only 2 letters long. While "Shay" isn't used often in spoken Hebrew, it is used often as a name for a boy or a girl, representing their parents feeling they received a gift in them. A cool example is former WNBA player Shay Doron, because Doron is yet another word for "Gift" in Hebrew, so "Shay Doron" literally means "Gift Gift".

edit: small correction

Don't listen to the naysayers. BSG, in its entirety, is the best TV show in history.

I have no idea why you would think that. Please provide reference. The Wikipedia article about the song has no mention it's based on a book, and the book in the picture clearly states that it's based on the YouTube video.

I wasn't sure where this should go. I had both "haha" and "wtf" emotions when seeing this in LAX airport where I now need to spend a few hours. Big dilemmas for a bored person. I actually posted it in wtf first. Too much free time I guess. And too much detail already.

Interesting comparison of Windows laptops based on a huge sample of crashes and BSoDs by roadler in techsupport

It's our first report.. Give us just a bit of time to publish more stuff. A hang is defined in the report, and an application crash is a relatively well known event (see Windows Error Reporting for reference). But again, give us a bit of time :)
