They call me a womanizer, but it’s been years since I’ve womanized anyone.

Lol, what mask do you have that blocks NO₂?

You don’t get flayed by cartels for visiting Mexico. I’ve visited Mexico for work more than once. It was fine. I didn’t need a police escort like I did in actually dangerous countries, and I never felt unsafe.

Seriously? After I’m done at a urinal, I press the remaining urine out of my urethra and shake it off. There shouldn’t be any stray drops if you’re doing it properly.

That’s not normal at 37. In fact, that’s not normal at 60.

‘I’VE been to a day-school, too,’ said Alice; ‘you needn’t be so proud as all that.’

‘With extras?’ asked the Mock Turtle a little anxiously.

‘Yes,’ said Alice, ‘we learned French and music.’

‘And washing?’ said the Mock Turtle.

‘Certainly not!’ said Alice indignantly.

‘Ah! then yours wasn’t a really good school,’ said the Mock Turtle in a tone of great relief. ‘Now at OURS they had at the end of the bill, “French, music, AND WASHING–extra.”’

‘You couldn’t have wanted it much,’ said Alice; ‘living at the bottom of the sea.’

‘I couldn’t afford to learn it.’ said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. ‘I only took the regular course.’

‘What was that?’ inquired Alice.

‘Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,’ the Mock Turtle replied; ‘and then the different branches of Arithmetic-- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.’

‘I never heard of “Uglification,”’ Alice ventured to say. ‘What is it?’

The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. ‘What! Never heard of uglifying!’ it exclaimed. ‘You know what to beautify is, I suppose?’

‘Yes,’ said Alice doubtfully: ‘it means–to–make–anything–prettier.’

‘Well, then,’ the Gryphon went on, ‘if you don’t know what to uglify is, you ARE a simpleton.’

Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said ‘What else had you to learn?’

‘Well, there was Mystery,’ the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, ‘–Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling–the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: HE taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.’

‘What was THAT like?’ said Alice.

‘Well, I can’t show it you myself,’ the Mock Turtle said: ‘I’m too stiff. And the Gryphon never learnt it.’

‘Hadn’t time,’ said the Gryphon: ‘I went to the Classics master, though. He was an old crab, HE was.’

‘I never went to him,’ the Mock Turtle said with a sigh: ‘he taught Laughing and Grief, they used to say.’

‘So he did, so he did,’ said the Gryphon, sighing in his turn; and both creatures hid their faces in their paws.

‘And how many hours a day did you do lessons?’ said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.

‘Ten hours the first day,’ said the Mock Turtle: ‘nine the next, and so on.’

‘What a curious plan!’ exclaimed Alice.

‘That’s the reason they’re called lessons,’ the Gryphon remarked: ‘because they lessen from day to day.’

This was quite a new idea to Alice, and she thought it over a little before she made her next remark. ‘Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday?’

‘Of course it was,’ said the Mock Turtle.

‘And how did you manage on the twelfth?’ Alice went on eagerly.

‘That’s enough about lessons,’ the Gryphon interrupted in a very decided tone: ‘tell her something about the games now.’

I think you’re replying to the wrong comment, but I know what you mean - nostrils are called “Nasenlöcher” (nose-holes) in German.

Same in Russian: пальцы ног (fingers of the foot).

And in German, Dutch and Afrikaans (at least), we call gloves hand-shoes (Handschuhe / handschoenen / handskoene)

Hey, you don’t have to be the super AI detective. You saw something funny and you posted it. However, other people have seen posts by this dude before and they know that it’s AI fiction, so it’s also perfectly reasonable for them to comment as such. That’s discourse.

Read up on this. These are made-up stories written by AI based on prompts in Japanese.

It’s not about “hot beverage” vs “cold beverge” - the Japanese study that I linked showed that people who drank their tea very hot got more oesophageal cancer than those who drank it at a moderate temperature. Same with this newer study: “Consumption of drinks at a ‘very hot’ versus ‘warm’ temperature was associated with a threefold greater SCC risk but not with AC risk, after adjustment for consumption frequency”

I don’t see what connection that would have with the temperature of the beverage.

That hot drinks cause oesophageal cancer has been known since 1998 - I was working in green tea research in the early 2000s and read this article back then. From the abstract:

There were 440 oesophageal cancer deaths during the period from January 1966 to December 1981. Person-years at risk were 3,065,182 in total. Rate ratio and 95% confidence interval adjusted for attained age, prefecture, occupation and sex were (RR (95% CI)): 1.6 (1.2-2.0) for hot tea (drinking green tea at high temperatures) in comparison with not-hot tea (drinking green tea at moderate temperatures); 2.4 (1.8-3.1) for daily (4 times/week or more) alcohol drinking in comparison with non-drinking; and 2.3 (1.7-3.1) for heavy smoking (15 cigarettes/day or more) in comparison with non-smoking.

So they found that hot tea increased the risk by 1.2-2 times, which is not completely out of line with this study - the Japanese study was 220 thousand people, and this one was almost a million, and it’s in a different country at a different time, so there will be other factors.

That’s the cool thing about git. You can just create a blank codeberg repo and then do:

git remote add codeberg <URL>
git push codeberg --mirror

Of course, this won’t include issues and other GitHub specific stuff, but it’s much more robust than most other tools.

If Linus had only ever created git, he’d still have his place high up in the programmer’s pantheon.
