Been using Linux since the early 2000's and I've dual booted a few times, but mostly had Linux as my main os for this time. This has happened so many times to me, the last time like 4 years ago, I just will live without the software that doesn't work in wine...

Jokes on you, because just that you learned to read analogue clocks, makes your brain more plastic. I am sure you know what that word means, but for anyone else, plastic means adaptable. The more things you learn the easier it is to learn more things.

You sound like someone who doesn't know how to read an analoge clock.

I bet you could figure it out if you looked it up. And you would be better for it ❤️

To be fair, this is my experience in academic computer science also

I don't know how to speak music, but I'll try. I think the dissonant notes together with i believe micro tonal pitch bending (maybe I don't know i have bad pitch) in the original better illustrate the discomfort of Trent very poetically.

Also Cash sensoring the original lyrics is okay, but it doesn't deliver has hard.

Don't get me wrong, both versions are beautiful, and this is just nit picking

What I am reading from your comment is: Norway is not perfect, therefor the argument you were replying to is invalid or diminished. Might not be what you intended, but that's what it reads like.

I don't think oppression of the global south is a valid criticism of Norway. I do think the things Norway needs to improve upon are largely similar to things the US has to improve upon. Only Norway is miles ahead in many of these key aspects.

Like corruption, most Norwegians want less corruption.

Equity, most Norwegians think there is not enough equity

Healt care and welfare, most Norwegians think people don't get good enough help with low enough friction

Of course there are more points, and some points don't have overlap.

Maybe it is to get non Maga people to actually vote. You know, so the Naranja doesn't win from gerrymandring

Note as a non-Spanish speaker I don't understand the first word

Got to make sure it's not behind the refrigerator, just to get the possibility out of your mind, so you can focus on other places it may be

I don't think outdated maps is as important as other things. Because two reasons. Maps are expensive to replace, and maps are politics. So no matter how you print the map, someone will think it's wrong.

Now if they thought you this knowledge about the maps, that would be really cool.

 

I hope this fluff post will be allowed if I actually share some facts about DnD and etymology

Balders Gate is named after the Norse god Baldr/Balder/Baldur

Baldur in DnD is named after a legendary explorer Baldurian from Faerûn, name obviously inspired by the norse god's name.

The word Gate means street in Norwegian, as well in Swedish/Danish/Icelandish but its spelled differently in those languages

The word Gate in English is a cognate with the word Gate in Norwegian, meaning they stem from the same root word, incidentally they are also spelled the same way today, which is not a requirement to be a cognate, Gate in English is also a cognate with the word for street in other nordic languages even though they spell it differently.

Swedish still spell it the same as in Old Norse, Gata, which at the that point meant path, road, or way, which is how it is used in current day nordic languages, but you can see how the English word Gate is now used for an entrance with a door of some kind. Other English definitions for the word gate, like a manner of walking or even a path, among others also stem from the same root word.
