Even if you're right about that, it still doesn't make the word Latin. Latin speakers wouldn't say it as one word, and there would also be a verb in a Latin sentence - "de fenestra" by itself is nonsense.

(I had the displeasure of studying Latin in school)

Defenestratio is not a Latin word, you wouldn't describe the act like that as a Latin speaker. You'd say something involving the words "de fenestra", but definitely not as one word.

It was the Czech person who first combined the Czech/Latin prefix, the Latin stem and the Czech/Slavic suffix in a decidedly Czech sentence.

> Listing some examples would strengthen your argument immensely.

You said one yourself. Nobody would say it because there's already a better way to say that, but everybody would understand the meaning and the grammar is fine.

Hmm, a lot of Czech words aren't actually Czech, then. I think that makes even less sense. The fact is the Czech language loans heavily from many different languages (Latin being one of the top donors) - but that doesn't mean we speak a mix of languages in one sentence.

The prefix de- is not used only in loanwords, you can construct new words with it just fine. It doesn't sound right in your example but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.

Samsung as a company, I agree. Most of their lineup isn't really good and I agree they have weird ideas and invest into them too much - just admit it's going nowhere, damn it.

But the Samsung Galaxy S22 is a comparable phone to iPhone.

Well I guess it depends on how you attribute words to languages. In Czech language it's standard practice to compose words with Latin stems. The word was originally written by a Czech person in a Czech language text using specialized Czech grammar for integration of Latin stems.

The prefix de- is used in Czech normally since forever and to this day (originally Latin though), the stem fenestra is Latin (not normally used in Czech), and the suffix -ace is Czech (Slavic origin).

BTW the quote you posted says the first usage in English language was in reference to the Czech text which actually coined it (thus the English text adopted it), not that it's English in origin.

Because most people buy Androids that are much cheaper than iPhones. Buy an Android phone that's priced similarly as iPhone (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S series) and the quality is just as good.

Also extremely expensive. Going from Poland to Switzerland is 2-3 times cheaper by car than by train (counting 2 adult pax), and I drive a hungry car and am counting current gas prices. I thought trains were supposed to be super-efficient or something.

It also takes much more time even in the perfect case. And since trains are frequently delayed, and trains of different companies don't wait for each other, sometimes you sleep in front of the railway station (the police will expell you from the building if you sleep there, and they close it for the night...).

I really like trains - I mean the physical thing itself. I also like the concept of train travel in theory. But I fucking hate everything about trains in actual reality.

I tried to go carless for 2 years, but it's impossible even at the place with supposedly best public transit infrastructure of the world. It's kinda doable if you have a lot of time to waste, don't need to be somewhere on time, have a lot of money to spare, don't travel a lot and only travel between major cities or inside a small region. It was okay-ish when I was a student. Any other case, like 2 working adults with no time to spare trying to visit family and then go back to work - impossible.

Domains weren't decentralized at any point in history. IP address allocation is also managed centrally.

> but at least it means that I have a recourse if something goes wrong

Have you actually tried it out? I lost several domains through no fault of mine (2 times fault of registrar, 1 time fault of national TLD manager) and absolutely nobody helped me. Even tried suing - in 2 cases (the registrar fault) I got small monetary compensation for lost profit (so good luck with personal domains) but the domain was always lost forever. And when it was the TLD's fault I got nothing whatsoever.

Defenestration is a Czech expression (the Czech language works with Latin roots a lot, even has special grammar for it). Russians only adopted it.

How so? No children involved - no harm done.

Slower means around a minute per picture. It's amazing! Guys with GPUs more expensive than my whole computer can't run it, but a laptop without fans can. Well done Apple.

It's pretty common to encounter a toilet where that part which closes the water flow is broken. No amount of whacking is going to help.

What if there's a way to generate it without involving any real children pictures in the training set?

To ban something you need evidence that it's causing some harm, not vice versa.

Not sure what you mean by "mainstream internet", it's a normal page anyone can access by typing its address into the browser. Well known, too. And if you're looking for this kind of thing it's the first suggestion you're going to find.

Sure, it's not on the most visited homepages of the world - but it hardly went away. Even on the most visited homepage it's just few clicks away.

The more "system" you have the more often you'll hear "sorry, but that's just how the system works" and nobody will ever be able to (or want to) do anything about the problem.

And there's a lot of system around here in EU. Applies to healthcare, social care/security and of course police as well.

I think you're just not looking. It might've disappeared from Twitter and Facebook, but it's still on Reddit, 4Chan and many other sites.

I kinda liked J2ME...

My point is, I don't think people really said that about telephone and telegraph. Not every new technology was taken as being worse, so dismissing problems of Twitter just because it's new and "people hated everything new" isn't really good.

For example: Keeping a record of the user getting a ban. Keeping the data that led to the ban. Keeping the user data in case the ban needs to be repelled.

How is telephone and telegraph detrimental?

There was like 1-2 flights with Russians per year, SpaceX flies much more.

Seems like we just don't know much about what they did there, yet. Let's see how many mass graves are there once Ukraine gets the land back. Are you going to put your money on it being 0? Or maybe they simply planned the genocide for later, you never know with these crazy dictators.

> Certainly this is not true of Crimea, where people have been independently polled by Western NGOs and the weight of the evidence is they want to be part of Russia.

You mean "a very slightly bigger half of them", right? And that was before all this shit went down and Russians started to mobilize them. I wonder how they feel now, don't you?

> Your thesis is that if Russia won they would murder a substantial %-ge of the population in mobile crematoriums?

Nah, my thesis is that Russia started with it immediately.

I don't think it suggests anything other than 10 hours being reasonable when you're paid $400k. Why would it be a separate thing? Everything hinges on the money. It's not reasonable to work 10 hours a day for $40k, but that's very much not the case for $400k.

These people would rather be dead than under Russian rule. Why would 97% of them support continuing defense if not?

And don't forget that when Russians still thought they're going to win, they brought in mobile crematoriums and started filtrating people and sending them off to Siberia if not torturing and murdering them. It was never a question of "no war and survive" VS "die in war" - but "no war, die anyways" VS "war, possibly survive"

It seems very funny until you get investigated and fired for reporting made-up hours. I've seen it used as universal "we need to fire you ASAP" tool, since as you say everybody does it.

I live in a major EU city and even though they really try hard to make driving unbearable, it's still the best option in many cases. And you don't have any other option if you're going to a less major town nearby - even with worlds' best public transport infrastructure, it's still not good enough. Makes me very sceptical about mass transit.

for $400k? yes definitely.

Below freezing air, but it's not freezing just few centimeters underground or underwater.
