The owl will have you study “the man has a red scarf” for two years before you get to words like “save” or “add to watchlist”.

One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.

Ah thanks, I googled it quickly and it gave me both (as titles on webpages, not like in a dictionary). But with the number of spelling mistakes on shopping sites, I shouldn’t have trusted the titles alone :)

The other commenters have already explained it diligently, but I wanted to hop on for something related.

As a German speaker, it actually irritates me a little, that English doesn’t agglutinate. Let’s take the word “gum ball machine”.

Which is it? It’s a machine. So are “gum” and “ball” descriptors of “machine”? Well no, they’re all nouns. But they’re not all subjects or objects of a sentence. They’re one subject together. But they’re not written together.

If I had a red gum ball machine, is it a red machine made out of gum that produces balls? Ok, it can also be spelt gumball machine. But that’s still multiple words per concept.

I like my nouns to be one word if it’s one thing and one subject.

No, it’s literally not. It is “tool” or “gadget”. Not just any object or dingsbums.

Zeug used to mean something different back in the day.

“Ongezellig” is dutch and means “unsociable”.

It’s a story about three adoptive sisters Maya, Coco and Mymy. It’s in dutch, but the subtitles are great.

You should watch “Ongezellig”, an animated pilot with 5 short episodes á 5 minutes.

You will get the relevance to this comment in the first episode.

A déodorant that’s made from more organic ingredients.

For example Cocos oil and soda. In my experience it has been streets ahead of a commercial déodorant. It allows me to sweat but eliminates all smell, even when applying after I’ve already started to sweat.

Having the wrong meter is worse than having colloquial grammar.

Empty landmass isn’t the only important thing.

I.e. Florida, the third most populous US state (21M), is about half the size of the whole of Germany.

But Germany’s most populous state (North Rhine - Westphalia / NRW) has a pop of 18M.

It’s waaaaay smaller, but the n of inhabitants is comparable.

To the point: I don’t think , it’s necessary to know the names of foreign states. But it’s good to know roughly what’s going on in the world. It is no secret, that US Americans are exceptionally caught in their own bubble.

Historically

You use that term rather lightly. Idk, if I think “historically” my mind goes further back than 120 years. At least to the Spanish Habsburgs’ occupation, maybe even Burgundian era, Lotharingia, the Franks or the Belgae tribes.

It is technically history, but that’s like saying: “Historically, I nourish myself with broccoli pizza” just because I had some yesterday.

No, it’s not

When the scene came up with his house burned down and some family member sick/dying, I thought, ok now we’ll get some emotional beats, something interesting.

BAM

Everything is solved, musical number

Reading is an art.

Yea, but a burning heart also works well as a symbol for Caritas

In countries, where metric is standard, we use the scale for baking and all our recipes are by weight and not by volume.

I was just jokingly remarking, that all countries should go full metric (so just the USA, Canada’s kitchens and the UK’s streets are missing)

You could build our repurpose something like a silverware organiser, but fitted to the items in there.

But the true travesty: the scale should be easily accessible and in constant use tsk tsk

(We don’t have such a drawer btw)

It’s not necessary to reclaim every kilometre with fighting. If Russia is brought to it’s knees financially, the peace can still be achieved.

Just look at ww1. For its entirety, the front was in France and Belgium and Germany held french territory. They still lost. And the Atlantic blockade and sanctions were a big part of that.

I think that for terrorism you need the goal to instill terror in the population. Since it was so specifically targeted and only one victim, I don’t know how well it fits. Also, most of the population doesn’t feel terror, maybe he should be hit with satisfaction charges.

There’s literally a province called Inner Mongolia where the Mongols not just used to live but live to this day.
