Is Powerline ethernet based off of the same tech?

Where does nixos fit in here

Finally

Language dependent maths

Apparently ruffs (these things) were originally invented as a way to prevent clothing from getting dirty from food and such

Same with the polish word - oko

Not at that scale, they can do larger text fine but at a certain size it just breaks down

Wasn’t the “inuits have dozens of words for snow” thing kinda disproven? Afaik they only have like 5 or something, the reason people were saying there were so many is because Inuktitut, Greenlandic, etc are polysynthetic languages, meaning you can pack a LOT of information into one word (it’s possible to make complex one-word sentences for example). This does mean that there are a lot of words based off the root for snow, which is where people got the idea

yeah, plenty of Jewish non-zionists and non-jewish zionists

I thought it was mostly made out of oil based chemicals nowadays?

Sticking bottles up your ass may lead to unintended consequences such as causing the collapse of a country

I’m actually aware of that term lol (I used to spend a decent amount of time in rocketry circles so)

No no, they meant “broken up” as in what happens to deorbited satellites

A lot of languages have that, it’s not just English

In fact I feel English is relatively low on the scale of word inventing, some languages get crazy with it

That’s because “ph” is a combination of two letters to make a single sound

Using the IPA, an alphabet designed for writing down sounds of words, where one sound tends to correspond to one letter, “phlegm” is /ˈflɛm/ and “phlegmatic” is /fleɡˈma.tɪk/

That’s perfectly fine, as long as others understand you the exact was you pronounce it doesn’t matter

I was just saying what tends to happen, not what always happens

The reason why the p in “pterodactyl” is silent is because the consonant cluster /pt/ isn’t allowed as the initial part of a syllable

When words are borrowed into English but have consonant clusters like this, English simplifies the cluster (in this case, /pt/ becomes /t/)

However, if the consonant cluster is preceded by a vowel, it splits up and the first consonant becomes the coda (final part) of the preceding syllable

So while it might have been he-li-co-pter in Greek, it became he-li-cop-ter in English

This also explains the silent g in “phlegm” and why it’s pronounced in “phlegmatic”

The first part works better with a polish ESL accent compared to a more native one btw

One of the polish words for luck is “fart”
