You could maybe just stuff the inside of the sharkfin full of tinfoil.

Schon, aber doch mit anderer Bedeutung.

And we have more of those, like "schon", "gell", "fei" (in some dialects), "halt", "eben". Maybe a few more I cannot think of right now.

…

Just because all the other languages are inferior for the lack of a "doch" equivalent... ;)

If you cheat a little, you can get to similarly low numbers in German:

"Zuviele Abschiede von ihr" - 8

"Ihre zuvielen Abschiede" - 8

"[Sie] verabschiedete sich zu oft" - 8-9

If you accept "trennen" ("separate") for "saying goodbye", you can do

"[Sie] trennte sich zu oft" - 5-6

If you accept "[weg]gehen" (go [away]) for "saying goodbye", you can also do "[Sie] ging zu oft [weg]" - 3-5

The "Sie" (she) is optional, but leaving it out sounds hurried and informal.

The literal translation also isn't very idiomatic imho, I'd rather expect to hear one of the latter ones if it was really about separations and going away, the former phrasing suggests more something of literally saying too many greetings.

If you want to keep it very formal. Informally one would say something like "Trau dich, trinks!", or even shorter, "Komm, trinks!" or "Hopp, trinks!". Also depends on the exact intentions, if it were a bet, one could translate it as "Wetten dass dus nicht trinkst?", which would also state which side of the bet the speaker is on. "Herausfordern" is also more something like "challenge", as in "one knight challenging the other", less like "dare" as in "one child trying to get the other to do something".

Not quite. Edges can break from excessive rolling and bending which is the usual mode if the steel isn't over-hardened (Excessively hardened steel will not roll over, only break, and is usually impossible to sharpen). You can get breaks from hitting something hard like another metal or ceramic surface, but those accidents you cannot fix with honing. They should be rare if you pay attention. Wear can also be fixed with frequent honing if your hone is either hardened steel (usually the ones with the very fine structures and the dull darker surface) or diamond surfaced, because both are mildly to very abrasive.

I also sometimes do this (although not with tomatoes). But my knife for this is very sharp and hook-shaped (I think the english word is "turning knife"). Only thing you have to pay attention to: when cutting "against your thumb", never press your thumb into the knife, otherwise things will get bloody. The technique that works best imho is to e.g. hold a carrot in one hand, knife in the other, thumb fixing the carrot and knife edge cutting in a rotating motion around the carrot's axis beside your thumb.

You cannot even backup all of the playstore apps, tons and tons set the magic "don't backup" bit.

You are totally right in that there are basically no useful backups on android whatsoever. The closest thing is "adb backup" when you have root and developer settings enabled, which is saying a lot.

SafetyNet was always about DRM. The Play Store contains tons of malware despite SafetyNet, and malware does malware things despite SafetyNet.

Also, SafetyNet makes alternatives to Google Cloud e.g. for Backups non-viable, so win-win for Google I guess.

ssh-ing somewhere strange on a small laggy connection is standard operating procedure. Not having internet is normal. Not being able to write gigabytes of crap into root's home is normal. Not to mention not installing some weird language environment like Kotlin just so the config is highlighted properly. Including all the bazillion libs i'll need. And all the editor configuration that i'll of course have to copy around everywhere. And then debug first, to get the language server working on old CrapHeadDistro 17.9 from back when Obama still ruled. Only to get chewed up in the next security audit for having installed too much useless old crap, because I need that to edit some config files...

You can pry vim from my cold dead hands. After pressing <Esc> thrice of course. You may even get me to install a syntax highlighting file somewhere and maybe use netrw if possible. But a random server you are adminning just isn't the same as your average developers single laptop.

"Better" is very one-dimensional, but cooking isn't. You can get worse at taste but better at health. Better at health and taste but worse at time consumption. Better at price but worse at hygiene. Many things are possible, but without an audience or at least your own critical acclaim, you cannot prioritize.

And, of course, "there is no accounting for taste" meaning that some of the aforementioned dimensions are very subjective.

Disagreed. Practice is just one component in a cycle that makes us better:

We watch something, think of something, read something.

Then we try it out in practice.

Then we observe or have someone else observe the practice and result.

Then we take suggestions and improvements into account from that observation.

Then we start over at one of the points above.

If you only just repeat the "practice" step you'll get set in your ways, get used to doing the same mistakes all over, etc.

Even the American CDC disagrees: https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/communication/salmonella-and-...

"*Pasteurized eggs have been heated to a high enough temperature for a long enough time to kill Salmonella."

I'm a fan of the various Jacques Pépin videos on youtube because they give a lot of advice on technique. There is an hour long one I cannot find right now that basically has almost everything you'll ever need in a video. And I like (also on youtube) Italia Squisita, because they nicely show what variations you can do, showing italian classics and their michelin-star version of it side by side.

Edit: found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CshkecuFfMc

Thank you for your answer.

Side note: I very much love pasteurized carton eggs. Pre-separated, no guessing the size ("my recipe wants 3 medium eggs, i only have large, do I use 2.54?") and peace of mind when making stuff like fresh mayonaise.

Wtf, dairy mayo? Is this an american thing? Mayonaise is oil, egg yolk and optionally mustard/garlic/spices/flavourings.

This is sensationalist nonsense, as evidenced by "just 100 warheads" without giving any yield or burst height. And if you read the Wikipedia article I've given you, the evidence points to the effects of any exchange in the 100MT range (which is far more than one would expect from e.g. India vs. China or UK vs. France) will be noticable, but far from catastrophic. At worst, it will cancel out global warming for a year or two.

It is hard to assess, so this is just speculation, but I would guess that it is far easier to keep a facility in good working order, shining, nice and presentable when you don't actually use it but just pretend.

Also, the Soviet Union as well as Russia do have a culture of corruption, plan-fulfillment-only-on-paper, diversion of public funds and organized inefficiency on the job. E.g. from the current Ukraine-Russian war, there are reports (to be taken with a grain of salt of course, but there are dozens of confirmed, similar stories from Soviet times) of food shipments containing just canned water instead of canned meat/vegetables because somebody embezzled the money and shipped water to cover it up. I can't really decide either way: maybe all this is even easier, given the secrecy surrounding everything military and nuclear. Yet maybe it is harder, given the increased scrutiny around all things nuclear.

If they are coming, it will take about 30mins. Far too quick for a headline to make the rounds.

What you might notice (depending on if your country thinks it useful) will be siren signals and radio/TV broadcasts. But I guess it is even too short a time for those, and you cannot do more than "move into the cellar" anyways.

No, it wouldn't. Nuclear winter from a small-scale exchange was a simulation result many decades ago, to be disproven only a few years later by more advanced simulations and observation results from volcanoes, forest and oil fires. Larger exchanges will have a noticable effect, but how large is up for debate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter has a fairly detailed elaboration on the various points of view and their history.

Foreign inspectors might warn the Russians about the risk of theft, accidents and so on. But would they warn them if they noticed that the weapons were degraded or nonfunctional, unbeknownst to the Russians?

What do you mean? Yes, of course the ambulance might take the kid to the hospital. And then I'll follow the ambulance in my car to be there for my kid in the hospital. Or the kid has already been brought to the hospital. In any case, as a parent, I need to get that urgent call informing me about it, and I need to be there asap.

Life is poorly designed. Kid had an accident, gotta go to the hospital? Of course that call is urgent.

Even at work, there are things that really are urgent. But those shouldn't occur often, otherwise you would be right, poorly designed process.

In Germany, there is "case law" to that effect. Letting someone suffer of thirst is "unterlassene Hilfeleistung", roughly translated "neglecting to give aid". Not giving someone suffering of thirst any water is considered as an example in legal literature, however, I know of no real case where someone was convicted solely for that. And it isn't really straightforward to argue that a restaurant not serving tap water would fulfil the criteria of "unterlassene Hilfeleistung", at least because the usual restaurant-goer isn't suffering that badly.

Also, aforementioned aid doesn't have to be free, the person benefiting from your aid owes you the cost of that aid.

They used chariots not only in the hippodrome, also for processions and other "shows".

But Roman warfare was a no-nonsense kind of affair, so no chariots. https://acoup.blog describes this really well.

From the article that was linked:

> The research will also provide Infineon with a fundamental understanding of the design and reliability challenges customers face with the new material in their core applications.

That is corporate-speak for: they have no idea.

Which is a researach-stage idea with obvious drawbacks: Moisture in air will also slowly decompose PCBs, making them age much faster than traditional epoxy-based PCBs. So then you either limit the maximum age of all your products severely (not very green) or you need additional materials to moisture-proof all your casings (also not very green).

My significant other worked in a recycling plant. To elaborate on the "rest" and how it is done:

PCBs get delivered, sometimes without big components (coolers, screws/brackets fans removed), but also sometimes with those. They are shredded as a whole, including all soldered components, to a particle size of 2mm. Iron and aluminium are separated magnetically (in case of aluminium with an eddy current separator, iron with a static field). All three components, mostly-iron, mostly-aluminium and the rest are then melted down separately. Adherent plastics, electrolytes, epoxy, etc burn off during this process. Gas and ash are lead through separators that filter out the fly-ash as much as possible, which is buried somewhere as toxic waste, the rest is entered into the atmosphere after cleaning (afaik various liquids to bubble through to wash out soluble chemicals, which are then dried and buried). All three metalllic liquids are then metall alloys of various purities which are then cleaned and separated further by skimming off the slag, adding flux, electrolysis and other chemical separation methods. Most of the "other" fraction is copper, which is the main product overall, other rare metals such as gold occur in far smaller amounts and seemingly add only a little to the overall earnings in the process.

Please note that this is the process used in a relatively new plant in a Western European nation. I guess the "advantage" over the rest of the world is that at least there is a fly-ash separator and exhaust cleaning.

It isn't even thinking ahead. It is pure, plain and simple arrogance, of the most despicable and stupid kind. The German auto producers are used to be able to strong-arm politicians and their suppliers. What they say goes, because usually they can threaten whole regions with unemployment and whole companies (the ones that produce car-parts such as seat cushions or engine parts mostly/only) with bankruptcy. Don't want to accept a mandatory 20% price reduction mid-contract? We'll just delay payment until you do, good luck surviving long enough for the courts to recognize your claim...

With chip makers, it is different, because chips can be used in lots of different products and there is lots of demand from all corners. So car makers tried their usual strong-arm tactics and failed miserably. Chips being a sellers market, after all. After which car makers went whining to their politician puppets, getting them to OK billions in subsidies for "supply chain security".
