Really? Do you have more info on that, it’s the first time I’m hearing about it and I’m genuinely intrigued
Oh we definitely have tons of tautological names for places, France has a big history of different cultures mixing and old languages merging together. What I meant is we don’t tend to add nouns to describe things, like in “X river”, “Y mountain” or even “Z fruit”.
Not sure if that’s specifically an English issue or if other language work the same way, but I do know that, in French, I would just say “le Sahara” and would only say “le désert du Sahara” if I’m talking to someone who really sucks at geography.
Same for rivers, I would just say “l’Avon” unless I suspect my interlocutor doesn’t know it’s a river, in which case I would probably simply add “you know, the river in Great Britain”
At this point just cut the middle man and have battery 1 directly charge battery 2, then reverse it when it’s done. Same results with way less hassle

General Memes & Private Chuckle@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Wish the world had this behavior more
31·10 days agoBetter to be the one setting the standard rather than waiting for a new standard to emerge and having to update your production line
You’re right i don’t think it’s either, it looks more like some kind of feathered animal
More realistically, you find tons of forum posts asking for help with a similar issue but all the answers are “Just Google it”

What do you mean “weren’t that great”? I got the Star Wars : Pod Racer demo in a cereal box and that was a peak gaming experience for 6-yo me
They wouldn’t dare touch our stinky cheese. Our rights, pensions and public services sure, but they know stinky cheese is a hill too many are ready to die on
Malfunctions? Looks pretty deliberate to me as they all have a big smile

LV426 - On Lemmy no one can hear you scream@lemmy.world•Alien: Earth hasn't been renewed for season 2, but creator Noah Hawley is discussing the show's future with FX (Misleading — A decision has yet to be made)English
11·30 days agoYep. Honestly it isn’t even a bad premise, those kids are a pretty good sci-fi setting that (to my knowledge) is very original. However I feel like it kinda stole too much space to the main reason anyone would watch an Alien series : the actual alien.

Moins De Voitures•Comment finir la bataille vélos vs voitures ? (analyse de complément d’enquête)Français
5·1 month agoJe connaissais aucun des deux avant de regarder cette vidéo, et vraiment le contraste est fou. D’un côté un mec qui parle calmement, qui cite ses sources, qui cherche du compromis tout en défendant son point de vue ; de l’autre un mec mesquin, qui infantilise ceux qui ne sont pas d’accord avec lui et ne se remet jamais en question. Même si je me déplaçais pas en vélo je sais lequel j’aurais envie d’écouter
Crazy how not being pro-deseases is now a political stance
A french YouTuber (Bolchegeek) calls that the Magneto syndrome : the writers make the bad guys make actually good points when criticizing the supposed “good guys”, but then proceed to completely discredit their character by making them do something obviously evil. He argued that it’s a way to pretend like you’re making a progressive movie that questions society, while still reinforcing the status quo, and to basically say “Don’t be fooled by those radicals, they may seem convincing but they’re actually just out for blood”
