  • I'd say that's the difference between the house (the whole building) and the hall (dk if this is the corect term) inside of the building. In a usual theater/opera house you'd have the main entrance in the front (of the building), then the audience room, and the stage/backstage at the back of the building. So the audience is usually facing the back of the house.

  • Is this a kōan? If not, we could make it one.

    My dry take would be, it's commonly deemed the least significant one. Though, some cultures/languages might sort them somewhat arbitrarily. ... And how much final are we talking, anyway?

  • It's called hypodipsia or adipsia. The bad thing for me is that dehydration causes the brain to get forgetful of things. So i notice that i'm dehydrated and i remind myself that i should drink ... only to have forgotten about it after 10 seconds.

    What helps me is to always have a water bottle at hand, and preferably have it so that i'm often reminded of its presence. Frequently have it in the field of vision, or strap it to the belt. Then train the habit that whenever i get aware of the bottle i immediately take some.
    If you dislike the taste of pure water then try adding some flavour to it. Mineral supplement fizzle tabs, lemon, mint leaves ... are you also "hungry for salt"? As someone mentioned, you might be low on essential ions as well.

    When you drink beer, eat something salty to it (beer may cause sodium to get exchanged by potassium), and drink at least the same amount of water as you had beer. (hint for anyone for minimising hangovers)

  • Reminds me of a woman i know. She That woman could totally have written this. Basically, our conversation after months is still me trying to learn her that womans language. :-D

  • Besides all the very interesting comments and links here about the violent history of the area, here's an answer from one Israeli guy I once asked a similar question. His take was that it is basically a mafiose environment now ... "both sides are corrupt to their core" -- the religiosity of the people would be abused by profiteers.

  • https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048
    In a nutshell, many people are bringing in more or less useful comments although it has already been suggested how this could work; the changes required would touch some core functionality in the way federation is done/ links are handled, thus none of the new devs take the initiative; the two main devs are occupied with other serious stuff.

  • WP as it is is of course not useless. But don't confuse it with a real library. Then, imagine in the apocalyptical worst case, having archived only that summary of humankind's knowledge. There's a vast amount of detail that WP is just not the right place for.

  • The problem with such approaches will be human curiosity. Imagine today's scientists find such a site from the late paleolithic which has messages like "This site is cursed; we buried here what causes death and pestilence to us; go no further or it will do the same to you!" -- You bet they will want to see what is inside the "buried temple of death".

  • Wikipedia is basically useless without the sources, though. It's just a TL;DR summary of things.

  • Right about spelling. For a non-native, it becomes somewhat difficult when it is about the "right" pronunciation of the written language. There's a lot of French influence for example. Now they have a lot of French words, some feel horribly mispronounced and some aren't. And then there's a lot of dialects so that mixing pronunciations can hardly be avoided.

  • Confused here. Lasagna looks like several horizontal lines with some filling in between and cheese on top. Like none of the letters that i know. Then again, it's italian, so what to do ... espanicise it?
    lasaña -- there you go, that will take care of the cheese, at least.

  • I know, and i hope it isn't seen as rude when i make such corrections "at everyone's service".

  • English really lacks some throat-fricative analogue to the Greek chi (χʼ). Shoud be yaχt in the graχt. imo.
