Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi."
Historians study their motives, but there is a broad understanding: their motives don’t exonerate them.
The German word "Schläger" can mean:
- racket, bat
- ruffian, rowdy
The word "kaputt" can mean:
- damaged, destroyed
- tired
So, the sentence "Der Schläger ist kaputt" can mean:
- "The racket is damaged"
or
- "That thug is weary"
And now enjoy translating "Der Schläger schlägt mit dem Schläger alles kaputt, bis der Schläger kaputt ist."
Enjoy our language!

Happy to report that a Linux build of #Jurism has uploaded without mishap via the deployment chain, and that a test download has succeeded from a dynamic "latest version" link under the Beta tab of a development copy of the Jurism project website.
Further, yesterday I accidentally ran the J6 client against my large personal database—and it upgraded without error.
And the Google Chrome plugin works.
All of which means we're just days away from a beta release.

How did Dennis Ritchie produce his PhD thesis? A typographical mystery
"Die Tatsache, dass die Niederlande, Norwegen und Dänemark sowohl zu den radfreundlichsten als auch wohlhabendsten Ländern der Welt gehören zeigt, dass man ein entwickeltes Land nicht daran erkennt, dass arme Menschen Auto fahren sondern daran, dass reiche Menschen Fahrrad fahren."
