Ok this doing my head in a bit.

Meal is short for mealtide, not used in English anymore but is in other Germanic languages. And etymologists seem to be uncertain if the meal part relates to time or milling. But that seems weird to me because then mealtide would literally mean something like times-time.

Edit: the two definitions of meal seem to stem from the same word. Hitting/striking wheat is done in times.

I'll use Dutch to clarify since English doesn't have the time definition anymore.

Ik sla het tarwe niet één maal, niet twee maal maar vijftien maal. I hit the wheat not once, not twice but fifteen times.

Na het enkele malen te slaan konden we het malen in de molen. After hitting it a few times we could mill it in the mill.

En toen hadden we meel. And then we had meal.

I hope that somewhat makes it clear.

This annoys me to no end. My phone has more RAM than my previous pc and yet android keeps purging everything from the memory. No matter what settings you tinker with, it keeps doing it. My Lenovo P2 from 2016 "only" had 4gbs of RAM and would keep dozens of apps open and would only purge the memory with a cold boot. I hate what android has become and that it's basically the only other real choice besides apple phones.

Yole in French is a small sailing boat. It's also in the English dictionary. A more common word would be skiff.

Fuck swearwords!

This is so stupid that even I understand it.

It always applies. But they always have some leeway in the shows. Sometimes they're more relaxed and sometimes they're more strict. Depends on how far along they are compared to the federation, civilization wise.

My Haswell box gave out last year. Didn't bother trying to revive it cause it wasn't cost effective. Gave me a good 9 years of service though. Anyone want an rx580?

I think a lot of scripts are already, at least partly written by ai these days. Has to be the reason a lot of stories and dialogue are so nonsensical and inane.

You mean POST, Power on self test. DOS hasn't been a part of Windows since XP. And yeah replace the Knopfzelle (usually a CR2032) on your mobo. Your mobo is resetting everytime you power off cause the mobo isn't getting any power. That's what the battery is for.

The menu is still grey on my devices, was it grey before? Everything else seems to be fixed.

Same here. Everything is grey instead of black. Nothing in settings helps. Hope this gets fixed.

Is the last word supposed to be in jest? Like a "no regerts" tattoo?

Besides the writing not resembling anything Roddenberry would've made, the bad acting and pandering were really off putting. I'm genuinely surprised it even got renewed 4 times.

On a rollercoaster ride where you had to wear VR headsets. Didn't notice they weren't in my shirt anymore untill I was outside.

Yeah I don't see any curtains

Just finished watching the last episode 5 minutes ago... still kinda high of how good that just was.... I haven't seen/read anything this good/all encompassing in years. How have I not heard or seen anything about this show until I saw it pop up on torrent sites a few days ago. Just WOOOWWW.... If you're into literature def go out of your way to see this. It's very very modern though. I notice people have a hard time grasping what is actually being told. It has some minor flaws throughout, but the culmination at the end is ... WOW... Very happy to have lived and experienced this.
