  • As far as I understood, @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz was talking about the phonetic alphabet used in the armies of NATO countries, which is standardised by ICAO as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, ... and is not the everyday phonetic alphabet in each country, e.g. in Germany commonly Anton, Bertha, Cäsar, ... but there are plenty of different versions and variants for each German speaking country.

    If we would go back to Latin, it wouldn't be the Latin as spoken by Cicero but some Vulgar Latin, as it is the origin of Romance languages like Italian, with simpler grammar.

  • AfaIk, posts and comments cannot be exported.

    For the rest you may use the "export settings" function in the "personal settings" section on the webpage of your Lemmy instance (yet I don't know what is actually exported).

    Alternatively, you may use one of the tools mentioned in this post (the post is in German, the linked webpages are in English): https://slrpnk.net/post/10923543

  • Ah, ok. You mean another satellite on suicide mission. The russkis probably have some available. I was thinking of some anti-satellite rocket missile like it has been used for destruction of the satellite Kosmos 1408. However, as it is launched from an airplane, I doubt it produces a splash, like heavy rockets do, that would be visible from space by espionage satellites.

  • Ah, obviously you're right and bash is less tolerant to spaces than I've had in my mind:

    You can declare aliases that will last as long as your shell session by simply typing these into the command line. The syntax looks like this:
    alias alias_name="command_to_run"
    Note that there is no spacing between between the neighbor elements and the equal sign. This is not optional. Spaces here will break the command.

  • I miss windows 9

  • A similar issue appeared in Linux, when the kernel version jumped from 2.6 to 3 "just because". At least it was not recommended for normal users to upgrade their system out of curiosity.

  • AfaIk, the Rosetta stone contains a Ptolemic decree which was, to be broadly understood, usually published in all three official languages / writings in Ptolemic Egypt, i.e. Greek and ancient Egyptian in Hieroglyphs and Demotic writing.

  • Not civil but mechanical engineer here. There are some rule of thumb formulas involved during the construction of a gearbox, e.g. the diameter in mm of a shaft at the bearings: cubic root of the torque in Nm. The 'necessary volume' of a gear wheel is another formula involving adventurous math.

  • What's missing in the above article is that the Marburg virus is transmitted through direct close contact with skin or mucous membranes or through contact with body fluids, not via aerosols like Covid 19. The student only had mild influenza like symptoms and no feaver yet. Thus, the other passengers have been informed, but supposedly are not in danger and don't need to quarantine.
    All the best for the poor guy and his girlfriend.
