the letters are “supposed to be” for Latin, a language with only five different vowel sounds.

everyone since has just been making a bunch of shit up.

do you mean Satellite Reign? is it “recent”?

They don’t do any parenting, either. Nor do siblings ever team up. Baby octopus just has to take care of itself, alone.

It’s weird, they’re so intelligent, but don’t teach anything to the next generation.

Can confirm, at least for Acast distribution, I generally get no ads when I’m not in an English speaking country at the time of download.

However, iHeart podcasts are always absolutely crammed full of ads everywhere.

Fabric Bellard’s body of work is fairly strong evidence for time travel having happened already.

nor decoding 264 :(

a rather annoying regression from the 4 to the 5, especially when the 5 now supports more MIPI cameras where live encoding is crucial.

at least on a 4, this command will misleadingly return “disabled” even though your programs are able to use hwdec, because the h.265 decoder isn’t part of the Pi 4’s GPU, it’s elsewhere.

So… do they need external cracks?

The Andes are so tall, they slow the winds. (My guess. I am not a geographer)

It’s from 台风 (sounds like typhon, more than it sound like typhoon tbh) and tbh the “ty” part might just be from “dai” meaning “big”, so just “big wind”, but I’ve heard it’s just as likely to be “wind from Taiwan”, the same 台 ty as in 台風, Taiwan.

And yeah, this map proves that Taiwan (and northern Philippines) is the world capital of strong typhoons.

This map is a great illustration of why the “ty” of typhoon is from the “Tai” of Taiwan in the original meaning of the word.

Bonus fun fact - “hurricane” is from a native Caribbean word, from the same language family as another loanword “hammock”.
