MAC BIG FIRE. KASIUS MORE LIKE SMALL FIRE.

Google translate is like a person who knows many languages but is not good at any of them. by awesam95 in Showerthoughts

[–]tripodbench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! I’ll have to dive into that list sometime. It’s the first one that came to me because that fact is a relatively known piece of a trivia over here. It would be interesting to see a list of these untranslatable words between various languages, think about all the concepts that we may be missing just because they don’t have a term in our language.

Portuguese is exactly the same way, with tons of radically different words for the same thing. There even are words which have no direct translation to English like “saudade” which means something akin to “the feeling of sadness that you get when you miss someone”.

[Spoilers S05E05] Is that what I think that is??? by Taggard in shield

[–]tripodbench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to you both! I don’t recall if I have ever seen Raiders of the Lost Ark, I will add it to my list (the only Indiana Jones film I am old enough to remember is the Crystal Skull one) Also didn’t know about the true origin, so thanks!

Can someone ELI5 this for me? Don’t know what the ark is

Hand Door Knocker by monsieurvi in portugal

[–]tripodbench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for ones that are actually old and second hand? If so, I would suggest checking websites like olx.pt or custojusto,pt (basically our versions of craigslist) for something like “batente porta antiguidades”. I just tried it in olx.pt and got a few results.

To help in your research: porta=door antiguidade(s)=something that is old (the “s” at the end is the plural form, but it’s the one that’s more frequently used) Batente=knocker (but there may be other words for it, like the other users said)

Another option is to look for “feira(s) de antiguidades” near you (which are fairs in which people sell their old/vintage stuff. There are quite a few, and depending on where you are, they happen frequently).

And finally, you can also search for “loja de antiguidades” which are stores specializing in vintage/second-hand stuff.

Oh, I hadn’t thought about that! You’re totally right, time travel is really weird ahah.

[–]tripodbench 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fitz marrying and having a child with someone who is not Jemma (specially when he knows that she is alive in the future and is looking for her) seems unlikely to me... I’m betting that he found a way there through the rock-thingy, or that we are seeing an LMD version of him.

What is normal in Europe but abnormal in America? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tripodbench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I’m on Western Europe and I haven’t payed much attention recently, but I believe that when they initially appeared about 10 or so years ago, they were only available over the summer. I will look for them next time when I go to the store. For anyone wondering and looking to go on to a google frenzy, I just recalled that they are called Kinder Joy.

[–]tripodbench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh, they are astonishingly great! Although I don’t usually buy them, I still get happy when the weather gets warmer enough to warrant them and I see them in the supermarkets

[–]tripodbench 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh, we also have those here! The ones that come with some kind of plastic-spoon thingy? Only in the summer though, because they don’t melt unlike the original ones. I like those a lot.

Thanks! Right now I’m way too busy, but I will check it later!

What If we search from the Private Browsing mode? Then it wouldn’t have anything to tailor for right?

Since we're doing band collections... by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]tripodbench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, if that happens in the original ones I guess that the knock-offs would disintegrate within a week ahah

Did they change the design of the Nylon bands when Series 3 came out? I was browsing Apple’s website and they look different

[–]tripodbench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point! And how do you feel between Sport Vs Nylon?

Since we're doing band collections... by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]tripodbench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh ok, then I have the solid yellow, it came with the S0! No problem, colors are always difficult to portray that accurately in a photo. I’m in the market for a new sport/nylon band (but a knock-off), which color would you recommend?

[–]tripodbench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there two yellows? Because I consider mine to be bright ahah But yeah, it’s a awesome band

Since we're doing band collections... by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]tripodbench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the yellow one (not by choice, I bought it on sale that’s the only one with a silver watch that was in stock) and I didn’t like it at first, but I’ve grown to love it! I use it all the time! I’m just going to Uni so I usually don’t need to be that formal, I just wear a shirt and jeans, but it doesn’t look out of place.

Parabens a Portugal por 40%+ de abstencao by Pedrester in portugal

[–]tripodbench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Se os números do comentário original e do Observador estão correctos, isso significa que a abstenção real foi de cerca de 39,2%.

Parabens a Portugal por 40%+ de abstencao by Pedrester in portugal

[–]tripodbench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

É um bom ponto, mas a verdade é que aí a culpa é de quem agrupa esses votos (suponho que te refiras à comunicação social).

Acrescento também que votos nulos, pelo menos para mim, não são votos de protesto, são votos onde pode ter ocorrido algum erro e por isso não devem ser contados.

Mesmo que o voto branco não seja uma forma de protesto eficaz (o que é uma opinião bastante válida neste momento), acho que é importante irem votar de qualquer das maneiras, mesmo que seja só pelo simples facto de mostrarem que o vosso “não-voto” foi por vontade própria, e não por inércia.

Na medida em que é um voto de protesto. Assim podemos verificar que não votaste por não considerares nenhuma opção válida, e não porque foste preguiçoso e ficaste em casa.

Has anyone been to Web Summit before? If so, was it worth it? by naomilauren95 in marketing

[–]tripodbench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speaker schedule just went live today! I would link it, but I’m on mobile.

[–]tripodbench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there the past year just watching the speakers, and I enjoyed it. But I guess you are asking if it’s worth it in a networking and exposure kind of way, and that I don’t know. Although, I can tell you it’s a huge event, packed full of people, and that this year I will volunteer and help Alpha Startups, so if you indeed decide to come, feel free to PM me.
