Kofola from the Czech Republic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofola

Just had this discussion/argument with my mom last week!

Tree fiddy!

Fair enough - I’d also go with ‘the data is corrupt’ so looks like I must eat my own words!

The singular of data is datum though?

🙂

Yesterday! At a concert. A LOT

Extremely fitting user name

I’d say that it’s almost completely different. With pour over you’re getting a longer drink, very different texture (in general a clean cup, varies a bit depending on pour over style) and with good quality light roasted coffee beans a ton of flavor and tasting notes.

you need the pressure to “crack”

I’ve never heard this (which doesn’t mean much) - my understanding is that pressure is simply another form of extraction.

Yes that’s a good example too! (I don’t know of any language where that’s a possibility but I agree it’s similar)

The spaces are used for a reason

That’s the thing though - my hypothesis is that it’s based on what one is familiar with. There are languages/scripts where spaces don’t indicate word boundaries (e.g. Chinese), or that are rather agglutinative (e.g. Finnish), or somewhere in between (like German), or on the opposite end of the spectrum you have Hindi/Devanagari where a space and an overline marks a word. Totally understandable that it feels perhaps rot13-ish due to unfamiliarity but I would be surprised if native users of those languages share that sentiment.

German infamously has a lot of long compound words but for those who struggle with them I have a question (I’m curious and there’s no judgment here - I totally understand that it’s hard): Canyoureadthissentenceeventhoughtherearenospaces? What about Orangecatsittingonamat? If yes, is it difficult in German due to having a smaller vocabulary in a new language, or something else?

German is phonetic though - once you know how pronunciation maps to the alphabet (and certain compounds), it becomes easier to spell any new word. It’s actually why there’s no Spelling Bee in German.

This is definitely a hot take. I’m yet to see broadcast content that comes close to streaming content in quality.

I don’t have a cat but the internet has me believe that this is normal cat behavior - isn’t that true?

Inflation

That’s what the investing is for isn’t it?

What would be the point?

Faye Wong, perhaps?
