in reply to Tombe la pluie - Theespookje

Update: be kind, seeing your answers I understand I was wrong and got so thrilled to try that I ended up with an encouraging 2nd start using what I had.
1 - looking too much like a B still
2 - it's something. My handwriting is always dramatic, perfect fit.

Words included
Schießen: tirer, shoot
Zeitluße: délais, résultats; final time, conclusion
Ersießen: couler, verser; poor (out), drain

Well done :)

(On a side note: Zeitlupe is slow motion in English - I think you mixed up the p and the ß; erschießen means “to kill someone with a gun”; ergießen is an old fashioned verb for “pour out”)

in reply to Muscaria

@Muscaria Hum from the context the last one would be more appropriate, even if the show being set as late as the 1800s also makes it possible, I don't remember the scene, will write both).
Also thank you I couldn't find the right translation using deepl, which is strange. That's the result I had with the ss, but it was not veru coherent between french and english for both (french sucked apparently), so both times I took the one that made sense with both. I'll note that. And note both once again



It's bizarro Schibsted. The Scandinavian company just executed a similar split to leave the news in the hands of a foundation. This split leaves Springer's news in the hands of the miniMurdoch, Döpfner.
I also wonder whether this sets up Döpfner, who already owns Politico, to buy the MurdochJournal if that family feud ends up in a split.

"Strong-arm." "Tougher governing style." "Forceful rhetoric." The #MurdochJournal finds many white-gloved and admiring euphemisms for fascism.

Rabid Trump licker Kristen Welker just said on national TV that Harris was wrong to keep Trump from talking about his "policies" at the debate

and how Harris avoided answering questions re her policies

and never acknowledged that Harris won

and literally said because of Harris not answering questions and interfering with Trump's responses, voters cannot tell how a Harris presidency would be different than a Trump presidency

You can't make this sh$t up

It's MSM malpractice

I revived an old laptop with Linux! An HP DV6000-series, which had become really slow. Saved files, format hard drive, install Linux, and it ran like new again.

My first laptop, I did dual boot out of box. Under Linux, same types of software installed, there was more drive space available, more memory available, better performance, and the battery lasted longer.




On Linux, file types determine how the kernel interprets and handles files at the filesystem level, impacting operations like reading, writing, and execution

Here are a list of available file types used on #Linux 😎👇
#sysadmin #infosec #devops



Went to the Royal Academy last week to see ‘In the Eye of the Storm’: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s. A jewel like show…

“Oleksandr Bohomazov’s Sharpening the Saws, from 1927, hangs in pole position in the final gallery: a wild vision of labourers tending to their perfectly geometric tools, long planes of violet, green and crimson, lying among tree trunks and walls like the musical instruments in some celestial Quattrocento vision of paradise.”

I made a standalone #Python script (one file and no dependencies) that runs with Python v3.9 and can download/install the correct redistributable Python package from github.com/indygreg/python-bui…

Maybe someone will be interested ;)

Suggestions for improvement are welcome ;)

Would You Look at That

This rock pigeon (Columba livia) looks as if it is trying to absorb a confusing scene

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Take a look:

That Columba livia is keeping an eye on you, just in case you are up to some funny business with that camera thingy. 😄🕴️
