In my embellished mental image of this, you’re careening down the wrong side of the road, puzzled why everyone’s flashing their lights at you and honking, until one of you says, “Oh, it must be the number plate.”

I eyeballed an edit, because the horizon line and lack of squareness bothered me:

I think the BBC has made the wrong assumption when cribbing from ABC or another news source.

Ms Brown has tracked down the great-nephew of one of the soldiers, Private Malcolm Alexander Neville, who came from Wilkawatt in South Australia.

He said his aunt, who was now 101, always told stories over the years of “Uncle Malcolm” and how he never returned home from the war.

I guess she, born in 1924, had heard a lot of stories from her parents or other families about him.

I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.

The news source, Roya, is Jordanian and does not recognize Israel as a state.

Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

We’ve got a poll going in Discord. Peter Thiel was the frontrunner before the mods did a bot purge; now the American people seemingly want Hornet from Silksong.

It looks from the head of the post like there was once a top pole.

Probably got damaged from someone sitting on it or climbing over. Or someone interpreting the “dispose of trash” sign too enthusiastically.

*boucey – they’re Irish, not Scotch

He rejected the Polish government’s offer to send a member of the Polish foreign office along with him, on the basis that he thinks they’ll offend Trump and his officials.

Ok, now we’re cooking with gas! They cite The Sharks of North America (Castro, 2011) which says:

The name “nurse” comes from “nusse,” meaning fish, which appears in print as early as 1440 in the Promptorium Parvulorum, an early English/Latin dictionary. […] “Nuses were there so plentie, that they would scarcely suffer any other fish to come neere the hookes” (Hakluyt 1589).

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “nusse” is derived from the earlier “huss,” the ancient name for the catsharks

The Promptorium Parvulorum has an entry for husk:

Husk of fyshe: Squamus, -i; Masc.,

with a note against that entry:

‘Huske, fyshe,’ Harl, some kind of fish.

• ‘Hush, the Lump, a fish,’ JAMIESON.
• ‘Husse, a fysshe : rousette,’ PALSGRAVE.
• ‘Huss, the dogfish,’ HALLIWELL.

So we have to trust the OED about the transformation from huss to nuss. I guess it could be the classic misdivision/rebracketing (“an huss” becoming “a nuss”) that gives us “nickname” and “newt”.

Did you find any convincing linguistic or etymological source for nusse? I can find a lot of near-verbatim articles repeating it, including the NatGeo article you’ve linked, but nothing independent and scholarly about the word.

Did some quick reading on this. A few articles linked back to Belgian news site 7sur7, so I’m referencing that article here:

• The group who did this was Stop Arming Israel, not Palestine Action.
• They targeted OIP Land Systems because they’re a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, who are a major manufacturer of weapons sold to Israel.
• OIP used to sell military vehicles to Israel, but haven’t for a couple of decades.
• The result was a one-month delay in delivering the vehicle shipment to Ukraine.
• The CEO described the activists as “sympathisants du Hamas”, which personally makes me mistrust anything else he says.

I don’t mean to condone the damage they did - Ukraine needs all it can get - but it would be easy to read your message and think they’d deliberately taken action to hurt the Ukraine defence effort by raiding a company unconnected with Israel’s genocide.

Doubtful, but it could perhaps be The Nightmare Stacks by Charlie Stross?

Do we have any evidence or indication of that, other than this one spurious article?
