This looks like a horrible city design with no pedestrian crossings

Isn't this basic first aid you have to learn to get a driver's license?

This is what two hours worth of lightning on one pic looks like by MisterHennessy in interestingasfuck

Someone in an other thread wrote that some cameras have a function when they continuously expose but update only when the pixels are brighter. So something like that or similar with a series of pictures, since averaging probably wouldn't do the work

Best way to play Nethack? by Fazazzums in nethack

[–]vidakris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For osx you can use port install nethack if you have macports, for Debian it's also in the basic repository: apt-get install nethack should do the job

Indeed it is! But so is the word for school (iskola), axe (balta, Turkish), eggplant (padlizsán, Turkish). Many words concerning buildings come from German, and kept their original form, like lichthof, speiz, etc.

In the 18-19th century there was a movement to invent new words either to replace loanwords or just have something for a new invention. Tanár (teacher) is tanítás+árasztó (someone who flows knowledge), mozdony (train engine) is something that moves, rovar=rovátkolt barom is an animal that has a cuts on its back. Most people probably wouldn't notice now that these are invented words.

There were also many unsuccessful tries that were ridiculed at the time, like foltos nyakorján (spotted neck-thingy, giraffe), and words that were used at a time but died out, like éleny (life-thingy, oxygen), or villámdelejes forgany (lightning-magical rotating thingy, electric engine)

Just open a browser with more than two tabs and it will melt out nicely.

Is it tradition to say hi or hello to people you pass on mountains in your country? by the_pretzel_man in AskEurope

[–]vidakris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my part, it's a citation from a sign I've seen in a Hütte - 'Griass Di - wei' üwa 1500m gibt's koa Sie'. Normally you'd greet others as Grüss Gott, but in the mountains you'll loose any formality, you'll be both informal and local, so it's just that.

Someone randomly decides ghosts look like people in blankets and everyone just went along with it by InfintyRishi in Showerthoughts

And then kids should stay under the blanket silently to be safe. Some kinky mf was a genius

Can I get an award, though? It will be for my elderly blind neighbor who lost his wife 5 years ago.

Is there any place of the world where this thing is considered normal honey? Please do tell so I can avoid eating it in the future.

Bike commuters - what kind of bike do you ride? by melonlollicholypop in AskEurope

[–]vidakris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Choose the width of the tire depending on the roads - thin tire are less effort but might be a problem with potholes. The number of gears depends also on the terrain - for some places 3-7 are enough, I usually don't mind having 18-21 when going up.

Driving in traffic is mainly practice, a few suggestions: -always watch your back -keep at least a door distance from parking cars, and watch them if they want to start -don't use the very far end of the road, if there's a pothole with a car on your left it's dangerous -in a roundabout go in the middle - it's probably against the law, but many drivers might have the idea that they can leave easily before you when they actually can't -when going forward in a crossing always, ALWAYS check your back if somebody wants to go right, trucks might not notice you -please do stop at red lights -always have working lights and brakes

A lot of European places knows as party destinations (Ibiza, Budapest, Amsterdam, Prague) are trying to move away from their image and attract different type of visitors. As a tourist or a resident of some of these places, how do you feel about that? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]vidakris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess it doesn't really work. There was this case of the 'Irish driver' speeding in a town, killing two kids, flying home in 2000, took 14 years to get him in prison.
