Do you prefer the Nintendo S or the Nintendo S Lite?

Im Deutschen spricht man ja die Einerstellen vor den Zehnerstellen: 42 ist "zweiundvierzig". Mich stört das schon lange, und dachte, ich probier mal eine Weile aus "vierzigzwei" zu sagen.

Stellt sich raus: Es gibt seit 2004 den Verein https://zwanzigeins.jetzt, der sich für diese "unverdrehte" Sprechweise einsetzt! Sie führe zu weniger Lernhindernissen und Zahlendrehern.

Der Verein hat unter anderem ein 60-seitiges Positionspapier ausgearbeitet, aus dem ich ein paar Sachen berichten mag! 🧵

@DerMolly Minerals for private machines, mountains for work stuff (if it's pet machines).
There's osmium and osmeth (two laptops of the same model), sodalite (media center), onyx (black router), fulgurite (outdoor AP) and others.
@nev Compost Flies (Ptecticus trivittatus), no?
Perfectly normal behavior in my book anyway, especially for such nice photos.

TIL why (in British English) we don't use a dot after the “St” short form of “Street”.

The “t” in “St” is *not* the second letter of “Street”, but the sixth. So it's not an abbreviation (like “Prof.” for “Professor”, “etc.” in “et cetera”, etc.), it's a contraction (like “Dr” in “Doctor”, “Mr” in “Mister”, “St” in “Saint” and so on) and contractions don't have a dot.

I assumed it was just a weird English thing, but turns out I found the only language feature that's entirely consistent

The Occam/Chekhov/Chesterton Razor/Gun/Fence matrix. Summer’s off to a productive start.
@malwaretech True, memory as such isn't new, but it gained new behavior under that same name.

@Anarchoesel Der verlinkte Ring arbeitet auf 125kHz (LF), dein Handy auf 13,56MHz (HF) - deswegen siehst Du da wahrscheinlich nichts.
Lesegeräte für LF RFID gibt es aber zuhauf.

@CosmickTrigger god forbid a woman do anything
@CosmickTrigger Maybe they’re just working. 🤷🏼‍♂️
@CosmickTrigger You can smoke through a dinosaur head?!

@Cassandra @CosmickTrigger

Certainly we must build dinosaur heads capable of smoking, drinking, eating and... whatever else comes to mind, don't you think?

@angelastella @Cassandra @CosmickTrigger Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
@CosmickTrigger what kind of society are we living in when a girl can't even open the door, get on the floor, and walk the dinosaur in peace.
@c02613 @CosmickTrigger I see what you did there ... I'm getting old.
@CosmickTrigger
1. Yay!
2. I am pretty sure I have seen this image before years ago
@CosmickTrigger @Feroquill AI pics btw, this was shared/figured out awhile ago.
@colinstu @CosmickTrigger @Feroquill so what was the deal?

@rothko @CosmickTrigger @Feroquill

(also this is a parody account, if not already obvious by the "seriff" typo, there's a real account as well for that office)

@colinstu @rothko @CosmickTrigger @Feroquill also, for the folks who both didn’t realize this and also have never spent time in hagerstown… it’s like three times funnier if you know the place, sorry 😅

@colinstu

Still a good reason to copy the stunt in the real world.

@rothko @CosmickTrigger @Feroquill

@CosmickTrigger i truly do love hagerstown. it's a funky little town with interesting people.
@CosmickTrigger @benda i… i too need information about them
@CosmickTrigger Seriff's Office? Is that a font thing?
@CosmickTrigger @Viss Oldie but definitely Goldie! This is around for a few years now, but I love it! 🤣
@CosmickTrigger
This looks entirely too much like AI.

@CosmickTrigger

Maybe they're dinosaurs in woman-costumes?

@CosmickTrigger
sorry to say, ladies in Hagerstown are not that chic.
@CosmickTrigger obligatory "clever girls" comment
@CosmickTrigger "Seriff's Office." 🤔 is that a cop for fonts?
@CosmickTrigger I don't think these are constumes
@CosmickTrigger can women do nothing fun anymore? :P
@CosmickTrigger Oh my oh my oh dinosaurs!
@CosmickTrigger
How do they know the Sex or gender of these persons 🤔

@CosmickTrigger

I mean yes, information needed to congratulate them on those incredible costumes!
