Whatever, I’m not convincing anyone with my use of metric and username. I’m avoiding some other weird phrases though, for example you won’t usually see me type “14 days” in English although Czech speakers prefer it to “2 weeks” (idk why, it’s the same number of syllables).

FTFY

Outlines are fine, the tell is the utterly different lighting (could have been solved with a non-lightbox photo)

“Cheaper” means “less expensive”. 2x cheaper means 2x less expensive, or less expensive by a factor of 2, or 0.5x as expensive. I can say 2x shorter, 2x slower etc. and I don’t see a problem. The adjectives “cheap” and “expensive” don’t relate to a number quantity called “expensiveness” or “cheapness” but “price” or “cost”, which is what the factor applies to, and the word specifies if it’s an increase or decrease. Everyone I know would understand that it’s the reciprocal of the original price, although I get that in a country whose president can say he slashed proces by 500 % without instantly having to resign, fractions and percentages might have to be specified but that’s longer to say for the same number of significant figures.

Yes, I can find people debating “two times cheaper” (English) but not “zweimal billiger” (German) or “dvakrát levnější” (Czech), in fact the phrase is often used in promotional material. The only results suggesting it’s wrong are English Reddit discussions’ automatic translations to German or Czech, and Google’s AI summary that cotes them.

I won’t stop using it just because people with inferior education sometimes don’t get it. Similarly, I provided the metric value and conversion rate, it’s Americans who need to practice mental math.

Here’s some KDE lore.

Canonically, they hatch from eggs, but as usual for child-friendly characters, the genitalia question is not explored in the lore. Kiki is a robot representing an antropomorphic squirrel. In general, animal and robotic characters don’t need to wear clothes to be considered “appropriate for all ages” as long as they don’t have genitalia or sexualized antropomorphic features like boobs. However, the fact that Kiki, Konqi and Katie are canonically a boy and girls means they should not be sexualized, ever.

It’s fewer syllables, what’s the problem? And yes, milk is cheaper here than the same quality in the US (despite our 12% VAT) so I don’t see why “cheaper” next to it would feel wrong… And don’t forget that we don’t get the crap “regular” gasoline with as low as 87 octane rating, the lowest widely available one is 95. Similarly, 75 % of milk drunk here is UHT-treated, as opposed to 10 % in the US.

That’s the mascot ambassador, a boy dragon with a headscarf and “K” horns antlers, but there’s canonically an entire village valley of them, and they created Kiki.

Edit: changed terms to reflect official lore

The build quality is not great, they saved on backlight heatsinking so the LEDs will bake and delaminate, causing dark spots, discoloration etc.

The fuck? Milk is 2x to 4x cheaper ($0.50-$1.00) than the most common gasoline, Natural 95 ($2.10) here. I thought you’d get something from those crazy “Got milk?” dairy subsidies…

(Multiply by 4.5 to get US units rather than liters)

Before someone asks why so much current to earth: blue N wires are connected to it too, so it’s the PEN pole of the mostly obsolete but still very common TN-C system. Such current to PE would instantly trip GFCI/RCD in a modern TN-C-S system, now it’s just overcurrent through some appliance or wiring gone short circuit and non-compliant breaker/fuse that failed to trip.

She would follow an online guide to change the emoji font, not noticing that it’s for Windows 10, not back up the registry before editing the seguiemj.ttf entry to Noto Color Emoji.ttf and thus freezing any program trying to render emoji, breaking the OS because there’s one in her username on the login screen. No, Windows 11 can’t handle her.

Changing the default emoji font is easy and safe on Linux with fontconfig, just add the font name among aliases to sans-serif in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (user) or /etc/fonts/local.conf (global) and you can use any emoji font you can get your hands on. Heck, even grub comes with emoji (monochrome, obviously) in its default unicode.pf2 font.

Only asocial media

Of course, they helped build the pyramids.

Also, this is canon:

(Minions, 2015)

Which Czechoslovakia? The states over its history were quite different.

• First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938)
  • Declared as Austria-Hungary fell apart at the end of WWI.
  • Industrial powerhouse dismantling Austro-Hungarian power structures, investment in modernizing rural Slovakia
  • Some people see the creation of this state as attempts of entitled Czechs to legitimize their country stretching far east but Slovaks were not organized as a nation before this point so joining Czechs was their best option (days before Czechoslovakia was declared in Prague, the few Slovak intellectuals who knew about their nation’s extent and situation reached this consensus and informed the Prague AH-separatists in a letter). Frankly, the inclusion of German-populated Sudentenland (establishing historic Bohemian, rather than ethnical borders), Transcarpathia and Upper Hungary were way more problematic, not to mention Trans-Olza, settled in a minor war with Poland over Cieszyn Silesia They do have a minor point: the prevalent push towards “Czechoslovak” national identity as opposed to accepting CSR as a country of Czech and Slovak (and Ruthenian, plus Hungarian and increasingly problematic German) nationals (some were even trying to classify Slovak as a Czech dialect) was ignoring many ethnical differences, and Slovakia only got represented on the flag as it changed from the not helpful Poland🇵🇱-with-slightly-more-contrast to still-controversially-used-today-🇨🇿 in 1920.
• Second Czechoslovak Republic (1938-1939)
  • Beaten into submission by superpowers signing the Munich agreement that was supposed to appease Nazi Germany but nobody believed that would hold. Prior to the agreement, Czechoslovakia could likely defend itself long enough for Allies to come but didn’t want to start a war that Chamberlain insisted wasn’t inevitable.
• Protectorate of Bohemia & Moravia + Slovak Staat (1939-1945)
  • Two Nazi puppet states, not actually called Czechoslovakia. Created after Czechoslovakia, weakened by the Sudetenland loss and other Munich Agreement consessions, plus flanked by the now-annexed Austria, surrendered to Nazi Germany in exchange for not being bombed.
  • The democratic government fled to London and helped organize dissent via radio & sent elite paratroopers to sabotage the arms industry and assasinate the Protector
• Third Czechoslovak Republic (1945-1948)
  • Created after the Prague Uprising and liberation by Soviets (most territory) and Americans (West Bohemia)
  • Struggling to restore democracy with the Soviet-puppeted Communist Party’s influence
  • Controversial expulsion of Germans that was a humanitarian disaster and a massive brain drain
• Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (1948-1989)
  • After Communists gained majority vote, they did a coup d’etat and Czechoslovakia became a Soviet puppet state.
  • Collectivization and Stalinist purges in the 50s, hopes of democratization in 1968 crushed by Soviet invasion (the only success was that Slovaks gained more independence and CSSR became a federation because the Soviets didn’t care), largely passive submission until Gorbachev (1988) but moderate living standards increase in the 70s and 80s
• Czech and Slovak Federative Republic (1990-1992)
  • After the Berlin Wall fell, it was obvious the Soviet sphere of influence wouldn’t hold so on the next protest opportunity (legal marches on 1989-11-17, 50th anniversary of protests for a Nazi-assasinated student), dissent members spoke out and a general strike was announced; police beat some protesters but nobody died, hence “Velvet Revolution”
  • Democracy, unrestricted import of foreign goods & media and wild privatization started, people could get rich or poor overnight as the economy turned inside out
• Czech Republic + Slovakia (1993-present)
  • Created after Slovak politicians wanted more independence and everybody was just trying to comprehend the market changes so nobody really complained and a no-fault divorce was scheduled on 1993-01-01
  • The countries have a brotherly relationship but went their own ways and it’s clear there will most likely never be a Czechoslovakia again

There are 2 likely original word orders, just search for both

Show me an old post of it then. I can’t find one from before 2026. Or another photo from that place.

Probably fake

I like how many kinds of leftovers can be given to chickens. The only limitation is that they have to get curious enough to peck at it. They’ll ignore some delicious shit on their regular food plate if it’s the “wrong” shape and color.
