Cheeses - emmenthal, gorgonzola and brie in special.

I shouldn’t have checked those 6AM. Now I’m hungry - they do look delicious.

Yup - the core idea is the same, only the “implementation” is the opposite.

I’m calling it “swapping” because, in some branches, what’s currently reconstructed as *o ended as *a: for example PIE *h₁óynos “one” → Proto-Balto-Slavic *aiˀnas, Proto-Germanic *ainaz. So if his hypothesis is true, in those branches the mid vowel becomes the low vowel and vice versa; this does happen but it requires some specific conditions (like gliding, length, or some other secondary articulation), otherwise the vowels end merging midway.

*e, *a, *o, and then *ə (trad. *o) > *o, which might(?) be a more natural late PIE triangular vowel system that would then

On its own *a *e *o wouldn’t be too natural, but if we include *i *u it does. And by then odds are that the later were already “promoted” to vowels.

Alterum memum:

Banana [slug] for scale.

If I got it right, this is like Synaptic but across multiple package managers, right? It sounds useful, I’m going to give it a try.

EDIT: in Linux Mint, I couldn’t install it through the command sudo pip3 install bauh; I think the system is throwing a hissy fit for trying to install stuff outside a sandboxed environment. Downloading the AppImage works fine.

It looks off in Cinnamon, as it relies on the Qt styles installed. It works great though - specially for AppImage and Flatpak applications.

I wish it had a deborphan-like filter, allowing you to see only packages that do not depend on other packages. That would be a godsend for system cleaning.

In a lot of Indo-European languages you’re stopping right at 5, *pénkʷe. For example Greek (πέντε pénte) and Sanskrit (पञ्चन् páñcan).

If you’re from USA: it’s like Conservapedia, but your government hates it. It’s widely used in the free world though.

Uh, funny coincidence - to see this when I spent my day there.

“We observed that most of the metals detected came from vehicle and industrial emissions,” says the researcher.

No surprise - it’s an extremely car-centric city, and it has been like this for decades. And it shows that high demographic concentration isn’t enough if people want less cars on the streets, you need to actually design it with pedestrians in account. Add the fact it’s a strong industrial pole and here you go.

Breakfast for dinner. Then dinner leftovers for breakfast.

I don’t eat beans, soy, peanuts, and most* derivatives of. Without going into details, let’s say that my bowels doesn’t handle them well.

*e.g. soy sauce and oil are OK, but tofu makes my body scream murder.

PTB. You highlighted immoral shit done by one of the two governments that the .ml admin team licks the boots of, then you get banned while they lie that you’re being a bigot (rule 1), since they have the same transparency as a chunk of charcoal and that makes them too dishonest to list “don’t criticise the RF or PCC here” as an actual rule.

“I’m whatever you aren’t, you fucker” - water, to the substance you mixed with it.

Cool. Get dunked, hipsters’ Electronic Arts Paradox Interactive.

Thank you for linking this paper. His take is the opposite of mine - he proposes current *e was actually *a, instead of *o. It’s actually worth investigating this because at least some of his arguments are fair points, specially #2 (o-grade behaving like zero-grade) and #3 (*o limited distribution).

It does create a problem, though; in plenty languages you’d have *a *ə→*e *a, as if they swapped places. While phenomena like this are attested (Dixie English comes to my mind*), it’s messy and cross-linguistically rare.

*e.g. Southern US English renders /äɪ̯/ as [ä:] and merges /ɛ ɪ/ as [ɪ], so if you look from Middle English to now it’s like the vowels were swapped - /i: ɛ/→/ä: ɪ/.

If I need to prove something stupid and immoral, and it relies on the assumption that 2+2=5, then 2+2=4 is woke propaganda. Simple as.

Yeah, nah. Your sentence is completely fine. When I read the title I was expecting you to have clipped it midway, without including the most crucial bit of info. (I know someone who does this. It drives everyone around her crazy, so I get why a mod would scold people for doing it.)

The mod is clearly a troll, and the modlog being full of similar occurrences reinforces it. PTB.

Dinner leftovers, cup noodles, microwaved eggs…

inb4 “eeeew microwaved eggs!” - fourty five seconds! No cleaning required! (Except for the glass bowl and spoon.) There are some tricks though, otherwise you’re cleaning your microwaves oven 4AM.

As other users highlighted, canola is a specific cultivar of rapeseed. The name is for Canadian oil, low acidity. It was originally a brand.

Wiktionary also lists “colza”, ultimately from Dutch koolzaad (cabbage seed). I never saw it in English, only in Portuguese (and even then it was an “ackshyually” moment).
