Easy: Don't translate proper names. Translators often don't do that anyway.
Man, I wish someone still distributed their distro via CD/Box. Just as something to display.
Are Canadians ootraged?
Which rock you been living under? The current administration is itching to ban trans people from owning guns.

I finished "In the Land of Invented Langauges" by Arika Okrent this morning.
I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in languages or linguistics. She goes through the history of constructed languages more or less chronologically, mainly focusing on a few highly influential ones. It's not a stuffy book about analyzing grammar (although there is some of that). Instead, it's told from a very human perspective. Why did these languages creators do what they did? Who where they? How were they influenced by those that came before?
It's not a humor book, but I found certain parts funny - like when she tried to translate "shit" into a very obtuse language from 1668.
If you like language, it's a kind of cozy feel-good book about the human condition.
I was speaking of philosophy not as it is today, but as it was - a precursor to "science" before the word even existed.
Armchair philosophers are a historical creature - they sat in their armchairs and deduced how the world works without getting up from their chairs to test any of their assumptions.
The armchair philosophers I am talking about have little to nothing in common with modern philosophers.
This is a corn maze. (Not maize) This is a maze made into a corn field by selectively cutting away some of the corn.
The sign is a joke, because you can just walk through the corn in any direction to leave the maze. This is, however, discouraged. (The mazes usually are for the whole family and not particularly hard in the first place.)
In American English at least, "maize" is only used when discussing old varieties of corn developed by Native Americans.
Based on a couple responses, I think it is important to remember that science depends upon testing of hypotheses, no matter how "obvious" they may seem. We are not the armchair philosophers of yesteryear.
Now that we're starting to establish that autism may be a whole series of conditions, (which will still need further validation and hence more studies of the exact same thing) we can start identifying them in order to better understand them.
I've been meaning to do something like a portable library myself. Your version of that sounds interesting.
Do you mind if I ask what the AFAQ is? A Google search didn't lead me to a concrete answer.
I made myself a wallpaper to force myself to study toki pona. Maybe someone else will like it too.
Since I went through the trouble of making this for myself, I figured I would post it in case it might be useful for someone else. Prices are in millions of credits, rounded to the nearest decimal.
Hello all!
My new phone (Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 running Android 14) keeps giving me this alert that an app is giving full screen notifications. The app in question is the freaking telephone app, which I of course want full screen notifications from! There's no option to disable the alert. (The two choices are "go to options" and "not now," by the way. And "go to options" takes you to the telephone app's notification settings.) I cannot seem to find a setting related to this, and I've disabled every Motorola app (including system apps) that I can find in the app list. Although, some of them don't allow disabling.
Anybody familiar with this by chance? I'm getting this stupid alert for every other phone call.
Thank you!

My husband and I are both gamers. However, I hate online games and he loves them. Our problem was more with him being ridiculously loud (literally screaming) while playing.
And the solution was to talk to him about it and be patient with him as he transitioned into enjoying his games at a more reasonable volume. Relationships of all sorts often involve compromise.
Don't just tell her you want to go out. Explain to her that you want to do something together, just the two of you. Explain how you feel and why you want to spend time with her. She might have a solution you never even thought of.
