the letters are "supposed to be" for Latin, a language with only five different vowel sounds.

everyone since has just been making a bunch of shit up.

They don't do any parenting, either. Nor do siblings ever team up. Baby octopus just has to take care of itself, alone.

It's weird, they're so intelligent, but don't teach anything to the next generation.

Can confirm, at least for Acast distribution, I generally get no ads when I'm not in an English speaking country at the time of download.

However, iHeart podcasts are always absolutely crammed full of ads everywhere.

it's normal for unstressed short vowels in English to all come out as a "schwa", which the most common phoneme of the language.

this is why h264ify is a pre-installed extension in RPiOS' builds of browsers.

made sense, until the Pi 5 dropped h264 hw decode. still waiting for a good explanation of that.

It's a good thing projects like Armbian are steadily improving support for Rockchip-based SBCs, to open up the market beyond Raspberry.

prisons used to have treadmills to power machines. six hours a day, with rest breaks.

when there's an engine to replace that, of course they'd explain it in terms of how many men it could replace permanently.

saying "but look at how much power Usain Bolt can produce for a few seconds" is not relevant.

the hp unit is reasonable based on whole-day power from typical farm horses.

it's bizarre without context, but i recognise what they mean - Sony's headphones app suggests you send them photos of your ears so they can analyse the shape to improve the noise cancellation.

This one probably was a Ukrainian (pre-war stock) S-200 SAM - it was wayyy beyond Patriot range this time.
