Whatever old hardware you got lying around is pretty great. Especially old laptops because they’re usually power efficient.

And in terms of tutorials just plain old Linux stuff should work everywhere.

And I think we’re pretty lucky to see Saturn’s rings. Wait a few million years and they will collapse into a moon.

Enough to influence pole vaulters.

There are stations that offer this exact service.

Do you have a bike with a dynamo powered light somewhere? You could try hooking that up somehow.

Finally something not making Valve’s hardware more expensive.

While I love that someone has done it. I’ll never want to go back to juggling physical media.

She’s soooo ugly, she has glasses and a pony tail!

It’s good to be ugly after all!

Fuckin finally.

Now I just need a working Android tablet.

If I were to rant about iOS devices it would be in !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world.

The misreading of the Jedi was

Jedi = light side

Well, that’s like, Disney’s opinion, man.

I know nothing of SW. I just made this up.

It’s pretty much spot on.

Balance is just another name for the light side. The dark side brought chaos. The Jedi themselves were also unbalanced themselves because they were serving a corrupt government, so they wouldn’t have survived Anakin either way.

Balance to the Force meant basically all light side.

Trouble was that the Jedi have become arrogant and hypocritical. They were also corrupted by the dark side, they just weren’t realising it. They had become political puppets instead of guardians of peace and justice.

I wish George Lucas had been a little more overt about that.

A funny one is Pizza Hut. “Hut” means “hat” in German. And since the Pizza Hut logo kind of looks like a hat many Germans believe that they gave it a German name in Germany. So they pronounce it in a German way and if they were to talk to an English speaker they might say Pizza Hat in an effort to translate.

Words in two different languages that sound the same but don’t have the same meaning. Real example from my last work: The German word for “topic” is “Thema”. So our programmers called the database field and variables “theme”.

Exacerbate the problem by using your own style that’s not been used before.

Preferably in English. Nothing is worse than reading code with a mixture of languages. Although false friends can also be quite annoying.
