  • "Of course, smartypants. Green is for imaginary and complex numbers, yellow for transcendental real numbers, orange for other irrational real numbers, and brown for rational numbers. If you encounter any other kind of number, I'll tell you which color to use."

  • Try it with Intel integrated graphics, sucker

  • You are correct, I just don't really buy stuff from big online marketplaces.

  • they only sell bs anyway

    • They don't always sell BS, many creators link to gear they actually use
    • Most sites will attribute a sale to an affiliate link even if you end up buying something else ftom them.

    The main concern of yours is legit. Definitely a "too good to be true" situation.

    I don't buy from affiliate links either btw.

  • they're not you are books

    ...

  • Yup, this is what my parents think happens when you play computer games.

  • There is "metráž" ("metrage" with French pronounciation) and "kilometráž" in my language. The former is used for items sold by the meter (carpets, film stock) while the latter is very rare and refers to the little numbers between pin-marked intersections in road atlases. Both are falling out of fashion and so is the literal translation of "footage" (stopáž), now replaced with délka ("length") and meaning duration, never the footage (recording) itself.

  • Literally never seen one before. I thought the Atari 2600 game featured a charriot of sorts, not a motor vehicle.

  • As a European: What's a drag race?

  • I'd guess it's indeed "půl kiláku" in Czech but I can't be bothered to check.

  • There is a modern-style (awful-UX) site that gathers phrase translations, via opensubtitles.org and other sources. Examples for German:

    Ich lebe sowieso immer nur für die nächste Kurve."I always only live for the next curve anyway"

    ich lebe meinen Leben in Viertelmeilenschritten."I live my life in quarter-mile steps."

    Ich lebe mein Leben in Halb-Kilometer-Abschnitten"I live my life in half-kilometer sections."

    Polish:

    Żyję szybko i nigdy nie patrzę dalej, niż na pół mili."I live fast and never look farther than half a mile."

    Przeżywam moje życie w niesamowitym tempie."I live my life at an incredible pace."

    Moje życie to te krótkie chwile na trasie."My life is those short moments on the road."

    żyję od wyścigu do wyścigu."I live from race to race."

    Which ones are official? Dunno, it doesn't say. The more literal ones are probably subs as opposed to dub CCs.

    15 more languages are available but I don't understand them enough to check an automatic translation. It's not needed now but you need desktop mode to see the "view in context" button and instead of an account, I use a custom CSS file to unblur the bottom examples.

  • Why would there be an employee handing out carts? Isn't self-service the whole point of a supermarket in the first place?

  • Is there an audio version other than TTS? I know Ed does podcasts but the newsletter isn't one of them.

  • I hate how English overuses personal pronouns.

    "Know your ABCs?"

    Nyet. I refuse to take ownership of the modern Latin alphabet, which is used by billions of English speakers worldwide and with minor variations by over a hundred more languages. An ordering of its letters is a common good by and for the public domain. Its entire point is being standard so it would lose all value if there was "ABCs" of mine, yours or any other single person rather than "the ABCs".

  • Sorry, my mirror image got hold of the phone. He's not real, he doesn't count.

  • Also the required diacritics use the number row on Czech keyboards so you need a numpad or type numbers with Shift.
