An old Czech song just played on the radio…
An old Czech song just played on the radio…
Well, then you’re going to hear
most of the time, much like Spotify.
(Last time I was in a Spotify-“enhanced” waiting room was 6 years ago so no idea if that still holds.)
He absolutely nailed it, actually. The fact that you posted it speaks to the success of the viral marketing campaign. If you’re in doubt that this is an ad, either turn on sound or notice that the weirdly big URL tag on his pullover goes unpractically over the zipper.
In the Czech Republic, a surprising number of yoghurt ads feature an animated skateboarding cow.

The Ion launcher for TI-83 calculators has existed since 1999. Why did the Android port take so long? /s
This is false. Cars for sale in India need to be made with 3x more honk because the standard package would run out too soon.
It’s a minix clone, so… mimix?
We should make a donation campaign, pretty sure somebody has a spare SATA drive around. This minix clone sounds good
I’m glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(
I feel like drinking any more water will make me become a solution
In Czech, they used to be called “křemenné hodiny”, which has the same ring to it. If you told someone these words today, they would imagine a clock meticulously carved out of a quartz block.
I didn’t, it’s from a spiegel.de article
I know but you need to be the right amount of pedantic. Too little and any sufficiently large curve seems straight, too much and you point out that there is no straight line on the surface of a sphere.
I KNOW IT’S BASICALLY A CIRCLE IN 3D SPACE. There is an exact amount of pedantry at play here, and you’re going over.
The line was published by David Cooke in this YouTube video. It lies on a plane but is not quite a great circle (in practice, you’d be turning slightly) and good luck sailing over the Antarctic ice shelfs this decade.
It can get a few percent longer if sailing between Madagascar and the rest of Africa but Pakistan-Russia does not have the same ring to it, I guess.
Edit: source (German), they also show the longest land route (across Eurasia of course)
Not to mention, India’s coastline is very much not straight on a local scale. You’re bound to find a place where it turns perpendicular to the journey close to the theoretical starting point anyway.
around Antarctica in a straight line
No, that’s not Earth’s great circle, you’ll be turning slightly. It only seems straight on most map projections because they want latitudes to be horizontal.
In the Czech Republic, BILLA uses them and they respond to the RFID reader on my phone. It’s a different kind though, most have black-white-red displays.
Well, dojít also means “come to” as in “understand” or “deduce”, besides the usual meaning of “finish walking”. However, dojetí is the gerund-like form of either the verb dojet (“come to”/“arrive” but not on foot but by a land vehicle; though dojezd or příjezd is used more often) or way more commonly the verb dojmout se (“get moved [emotionally]”).
The most accurate translation of the song title would be “[I Am] Afraid To Get Emotional” but “Resisting Being Moved/Touched”, close to what Google came up with, is the best if syllable count needs to be preserved.
