It’s almost always bigger languages.

Karel nese asi čaj by Jiří Korn and Vilém Čok

This Czechoslovak song is mostly in Czech but also features number sequences from (in order of appearance): German, French, Italian, English, Czech. (The younger singer, Vilém Čok, was not explicitly anti-Communist but the censor ruined his career anyway because this song was “too weird”, and it didn’t recover except for the 1-minute intros to Ducktales and Chip’n’Dale he sang in 1990. That was recently ruled illegal even by 80s standards but the censor got a slap on the wrist. Čok was audibly laughing at the verdict because there was little else he could do.)

Another non-English ones that come to mind are 1980s parodies of the countless Italian hits from back then (Sarà perché ti amo, Made in Italy, Ti amo, L’italiano etc.) by Jaroslav Uhlíř and Karel Šíp with some self-referential humor. I think that’s why my aunt, a language teacher, learned Italian first and only got good at English after failing to find a job in the 00s.

But otherwise, the foreign-language content people mostly consume is English, and the songs reflect that. (Even imported words − do you think „fajn“ (pronounced fine) as seen in „One, two, three, všechno, co je fajn, se smí“ (a line from the aforementioned song) is from German fein meaning “delicate”?)

I’d love to write the actual explanation here, but it’s a long one.

At least the TNS one has a YT reupload as part of a collection.

It starts with the animated “Mr Egg” who announced ad slots

Also, some products had English on the package despite never being sold abroad, to increase the appeal… Maybe that’s why this ad is in English? (OK is the Czech(oslovak) aviation country code, we should have got CZ or CS but our delegation to ICAO screwed up)

And did you know about bagged milk and syrup in motor oil bottles?

Edit: ripped the loosely-DRM-protected “ČT-Mediatheque” video playable in the Czech Republic (or if you have a VPN) but couldn’t be bothered to get higher quality, enjoy 288p

The church is a small part of the complex. The “Mordor of Prague” is the Emmaus Monastery, whose 17th century Baroque towers (on the otherwise mostly Gothic building) were destroyed by American bombardment meant to target Dresden, and the spires replaced them during a rare Communist-era (1964-1968) reconstruction of a church building. During the time, a Brutalist “mushroom” was added into the monastery park (thankfully too short to be seen from the river), and the Architecture and Urban Planning Centre is located there now.

Not to mention, agender ∈ enby but not every enby is agender… unless you only accept 2 genders

Technically, identifying as a different gender from AGAB is the most widely accepted definition of transgender, and almost nobody was assigned non-binary at birth or never had their gender assessed before becoming sufficiently self-aware so just about all enbys are trans. However, AGAB is sensitive info and trans people can choose to not be “proudly trans” and this should extend to enbys. Especially since they might not share many typical characteristics of trans people, such as dysphoria or trying to pass. I like how @[email protected] described it.

Not happening. Surgically implanted coils would either transfer too little power or overheat. The pocket idea is less far from viable.

With default settings, I do. Every document I remember. The only difference is semitransparent header and footer in the GUI. Maybe you’ve enabled the fullscreen/reader view that usually breaks everything, or it’s default on web or mobile.

I achieved high proficiency with Office 2013 and honestly, it’s not fully WYSIWYG, you have to do things like toggle field codes for some advanced stuff but 99.9 % of work done by Word users is in WYSIWYG mode. As for what-you-see-is-what-you-want? Well, hard no.

My calculations say that YCbCr(0, 0, 0), which is presumably the default state of the video framebuffer, will become RGB(0, 73, 0) after ITU-R BT.609 colorspace conversion and gamma correction. Not exact but very close, the video might just be using a slightly different color profile from the standard. Or maybe I made a miscalculation.

Oh, turns out it really is YCbCr, I should have done the conversion the other way around! The gamuts of both spaces are different so doing the raw matrix multiplication on YCbCr(0, 0, 0) results in RGB(-179.2, 134.9, -225.9). This is obviously outside valid subpixel values in RGB24 (integers 0-255) so the values get set to RGB(0, 135, 0). There will be gamma correction applied, for example the ITU-R BT.601’s gamma correction will change it to RGB(0, 74, 0) - not quite OP’s measured value but very close, and we don’t know the video’s color profile or hardware gamma settings (yes, GPUs can apply various corrections to HW-decoded video before sending it to the screenbuffer that OP saved by screenshotting) so there is some margin of error.

That’s the U+2105 ℅ CARE OF symbol, not %. No idea why it’s so prominent on Android System Keyboard because it’s so niche.

They’re not assasinating elites, are they? That’s why Luigi was a bigger deal than all killings by ICE combined.

Yup. There are exceptions, cold-blooded animals’ ideal body temperature is very close to the environment’s. But they have relatively tiny brains so the fact you typed this is literally linked to your inability to live at 36 °C ambient comfortably.

Trump-appointed Supreme Court judges can be removed by a single person. They need to be at the right place at the right time and have a good kit and aim. While this could physically undo the appointments, it would decrease the trust in the country’s safety, as all assasinations do.

Apparently you hate cashiers too (unless it’s a self-service supermarket like those in countries where night shifts legally pay well)

There are artsy, nonfunctional PCBs…
