I know to pronounce the italian gnocchi as ñoki (like it was also mentioned above) but believe it or not, people here pronounce it with like “guh-notchi” same in “guh-nat” It’s just some Slavic languages (I cant speak for all) pronounce every letter in words, so there is this tendency. PS: thanks for reminding me, the “g” in gnat is silent xD

As a non-native english speaker who thought I had finally grasped the english language can confirm I, in fact, hadn’t (I pronounce gnome as “guhnome” also as in “garden guhnome”, I had no idea)

Thanks for the painful laugh, Gugulethu

Ján Kuciak, murdered together with his wife in their house, in their bed while sleeping. Meanwhile our current (Slovak) government party at that time campaigned and promised to “catch their killer and solve the murder”. You can guess whether they delivered on that promise( spoiler: they didn’t)

Come to Czechia! I am working in an academic institute at my Uni. Besides experienced candidates we sometimes take students and post graduates (local and international) and we are always short on engineers. Pay is not much but the health and social benefits are worth it for a start. This is probably applicable in any EU state, more developed countries than Czech Republic will have higher salaries, higher living standards (ie Germany, Netherlands, France, etc) but also more expensive services.

Tl;dr: in EU you can work in academia, you get standard employment benefits, but “government” pay, still worth it tho

Oooh, that’s what Obama meant by “yes we can”

Yes

I agree that it was here at least since modern broadcast media, afaik. But now it feels driven more by something else. Maybe I am just getting old and cynical. Or paranoid as the other commenter suggested. Anyway, thanks for the rundown

Gonna check out Heroic. Thanks for the tip

I did the same with AMD+ NVidia gpu combo but it is not without problems. Do you play through Steam/proton db or are you using something else like Lutris?

why are you being downvoted? I didn’t see the movie, but it sounds like a solid review (I’d still watch it)

And one of them is an actual middle finger 🤞✨🖕

Same. In winter it doubles as a pocket heater. Summer is worse, I wish electronics could also feasibly convert waste heat to cooling, but physics be like “yea, nah”.

give it time. If we continue the parallelism arc to the nazi regime it took years since Hitlers party came to power, started rounding up people into concentration camps and until people saw through censorship (if they didn’t internally denied it as they denied the knowledge after they were asked)

Also, propaganda and censorship is a hell of a drug

Edit: grammar and also a disclaimer: I would rather see it wouldn’t go as far as during WW2

I worked on that a bit! Never realized it had such a crossover potential. Also considering how physicists cant stand biologists and probably vice versa.

wait, but it does, I just watched it, you just have to skip to the last 10 secs of the almost 4min vid

Hell yeah. Played the pre-release demo and it was great

Can you really understand zero? I mean, I get what it represents, but I still sometimes struggle to understand its usage…like, you can’t divide with zero thats for sure, but did you know you can divide a number with a really small number (like an infinitely small number) and you get a really large number (like infinitely large)? So, in that special space, if you suddenly replace “0” with a “number-so-close-to-zero-it-can-smell-it” feel free to divide and conquer, and get infinity.

Oh, and sometimes, if you feel like math is letting you down, remember, you can always use positive and negative zeroes, so your math-thing can now work!

…and you will be so happy for a few moments before you realize the machine never returned you back all your blood. You realize the machine never intended to give it back as you slowly fade into eternal slumber.
