I had a blast playing the Czech-localized version of Bioscopia until the CD got scratched and it started crashing. I was terrible at gaming (still am but can look up guides now) so I never got past the starting area and reception. Still, the interactive encyclopedia kept working and I went through most of it. I recently pirated a working English-language copy (developed by Tivola together with the German one, I think) and had a blast. It would still crash at later points but I was able to hack the required items in through the plaintext XML save file, as well as 99 credit on the keycard (not as interested in biology anymore) and finish the game.
Look up Ironlily. Most of her works are slice-of-life wholesome drawings set in a fantasy medieval European-like military camp but everyone is a cute girl (including a landsknecht with a sus codpiece). Toplessness happens casually in non-sexualized ways such as at bathtime but it's not common. The girls show varying degrees of fondness and romantic pursuit among each other, and it never gets explicit. It's arguably ecchi but as mild as it gets.
Definitely, you can see some lines in the top left zigzagging back left, which would not be possible if each was a function of the x-axis. In fact, both axes are a function of the hidden z-axis, which is time and comes in discrete yearly steps, the latest of which (2021) is highlighted.
Well, the capitalization is not as bad as the fact that it's kWh (kilowatthours/Kilowattstunden), not kWh⁻¹ or kW/h (kilowatts per hour/Kilowatts pro Stunde). It's a measure of energy so it goes up as power is consumed (or generated or whatever) over time, not the other way around!
The capitalization is not as important here but sometimes, it absolutely is - mΩ is 10⁻³ Ω while MΩ is 10⁶ Ω - a billion (Milliarde) times more, or data units like Mb (megabit) and MB (megabyte) where one is 8x larger than the other. Sometimes, the people inventing units made really stupid decision, like 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 1000 cal, with both "Cal" and "cal" being called "calorie". It's almost as bad as "a billion" (American, recently also British English) = 10⁹ vs. ein Billion (German) = 10¹².
However, I still think that capitalization is very important for all units, if only to show non-metric plebs the superior status of our standards. We have rules while they use MPH/mph and PSI/psi interchangeably.
This reminds me – they denote "per" as another letter (MPH = miles per hour) or, unacceptably, not at all (PSI = pound forces per square inch). We denote inverse relationships like mathematicians, with fractions (slashes) and exponents. The ridiculous aforementioned offenders should be written "mi/h" and "lbf/in²". Just imagine atrocities like this in metric, how does "going 60 kph on a 50cc bike" feel instead of the correct "km/h" and "cm³"?
In short, we should be respectful to the people who made a better system than the alternative by following the good standards to ensure continued ease of use, error resilience and language independence of our system.
unit ÷ h
I thought Germans used the : symbol for division, like us Czechs.
Encore rant for all the upvotes:
All this kWh and Cal nonsense could have been avoided if we just used the SI unit "joule" and its multiples for all energy, which is one of my few metric system woes. Still, a factor of 3600 is better than 5280 feet in a mile, and imperial people have their own mess with energy units (kWh, Cal but also BTU, gallons-of-gasoline-equivalent and horsepowerdays or whatever). They can't even get distance measurements to convert easily: you might remember 5280 but can you recall and apply the inverse logarithmic formula to convert between AWG and inches??
It's a stupid unit because it averages long-term output including resting periods, and was inveted for steam engine marketing. At least it reflects the quantity it measures, reducing confusion some people have with kW and kWh.
There is another country that would not exist if high Chile consumption was a real thing.
This is real title gore, the sentence structure barely makes sense too. Unwinding the journalistic word order and even correcting for the missing word "report" and the chilli misspelling, it basically says
Autopsy was conducted on a teen who had a tortilla, and it[s report] says: "He died of high chil[li] consumption and had a heart defect."
The logic is technically correct but the following bizzare statements are suggested (not implied):
If you are a teen and eat a tortilla, a doctor may decide you need an autopsy. Prevention first, amirite?
The cause of death of the teen in question was high chilli consumption, which caused a heart defect, and subsequently the autopsy, either of which alone would be enough to kill him.
It still does, provided you use the "Save as" keyboard shortcut (F12). No such way, however, to prevent Outlook's OneDrive shilling whenever you attach an Office file.
Medzi češtinou a slovenčinou sú poriad hocjaké rozdiely. Ťažko rozhodnúť, ktoré majú najväčšie vplyv na srozumitelnosť, ale tipoval bysom výslovnosť, ktorá je v slovenčine podobnejšia východnárom. Pripadá mi čudné, o koľko viac slov nemeckého pôvodu sa v tomto jazyke dá naísť: spomenám fľaša, marhuľa, cvikla, bravčový, kaleráb, štrajk.
Typical. Prague is the most liberal, pro-West part of the Czech Republic, and they don't spare tourists from their views. There is undeniably a portion of tourists that could genuinely use a Czech history lesson beyond "look at all this stuff Charles IV built in the 1300s" but I get why unsolicited ones can get annoying on a longer stay. You can always retreat to the countryside far from any attractions to get a hillbilly's perspective but good luck finding one who speaks English well enough and is willing to talk.
The website title says "Arm Developer", not "ARM Developer", in a clearly non-acronym way so it's a guide for making prosthetic hardware. Of course you want a cyborg arm to parse JS natively, why else even get one?
Yup, we are trying really hard to stop being associated with the Soviet Union. Our Senate meets to celebrate Israel‘s birthday and promises to fulfill NATO obligations while Israel representatives order a radar system from a Czech company and promise to shout “Czechia is in Central Europe!” at anyone suggesting we're in the East.
