Tourism to sea. Our country is landlocked.
- Comment on JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ 2 days ago:
Yup. “Public” is not a useful qualifier as it could mean decompiled or leaked.

I finally realized the bottom of graduated cylinders is shaped like a graduation cap 🎓

As seen in the tongue twister “Strč prst skrz krk,” the most famous sentence without vowels. The longest one is “Blb vlk pln žbrnd zdrhl hrd z mlh Brd skrz vrch Smrk v čtvrť srn Krč” and makes even less sense.
- Comment on Feelin the Bern? 2 days ago:
Yeah but people said he was too old in 2016 but in retrospect, he could have made it through two terms.
- Comment on Feelin the Bern? 2 days ago:
Is he planning a high-profile assassination like in 1963?
Reference
In the podcast Behind the Bastards, host Robert Evans has a running joke that 22-year-old Bernie killed JFK.

Oh yes, reverse psychology

At least it was in an auxilliary place in the body with well-established surgical procedures. Such swelling would have been deadly almost anywhere else.
Either way, this must have been terrifying for the woman. Now anyone who knows her IRL can find her topless pics online and threaten to reveal her identity.

Yup, I’ve been to Krk and it’s pronounced the same. Usually one click of the rolling R unless you’re doing an over-the-top one (over a low-quality sound connection, perhaps).
- Comment on Coincidence? I think not :3 3 days ago:
It’s also pronounced the same if you use a rolling R.
- Comment on THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come 3 days ago:
ACF is a known good way to create an array of conductive/isolating paths based on thickness. However, the heat and pressure during the curing process destroys the chip sometimes. Therefore, COG is the standard for low-res LCDs (monochrome like character ones and color like a feature phone) but high-res panels (TV, PC, smartphones) where a small bezel is needed and/or low yield would lead to too much value lost use COF (chip on flex), where the LCD driver is soldered to the FPC (flex printed circuit, which is also the flat cable) and then the wide FPC connector (with connections to the thousands of rows and columns, not just the serial interface) is bonded to the glass with ACF.
What is the other COG, anyway? Church of God? Children’s Oncology Group?

Actually, anisotropic conductive film is used to keep chip on glass and provide the electrical connection, plus it may be covered in resin or epoxy.

Yes, this is the same as the Czech “hodina”. For extra confusion, “godina” or similar means “year” in most East and South Slavic languages.
Advanced translation software like Weblate allows categorization into zero, singular, plural-few, plural-many, unknown with if-statements for each for this reason.
- Comment on xkcd #3140: Biology Department 4 days ago:
Then there’s Slavic languages like Czech:
1 den
2 dny
3 dny
4 dny
5+ dnů/dníAt least we’ve mostly gotten rid of the posh “21/31/41/… den” etc.

She has “MAGA” in her display name. Why listen for dogwhistles when there’s a red alert siren?
BTW I had several teachers that described themselves as expats from the UK or US, and they were alright.

There was a popular egg app at some point. It counted how many times you’ve tapped an on-screen egg. Presumably, it would crack at 1 000 000 or thereabouts and reveal something.

That’s the conjecture by Randall and Explain XKCD wiki editors. We can’t tell either way, he just wasn’t specific enough.
- Comment on Chirp in Fahrenheit 1 week ago:
In Galen’s scale, the 0 point is 22 °C, an alright room temperature, but the others are described too vaguely for us to convert. It might also be nonlinear. See the explainxkcd.com article
