That's pretty much the Finnish language :D

Just check out the difference between these two phrases written in our goose-y language:

Tapaan sinut.
means I will meet you.

Tapan sinut.
means I will kill you.

(You can use your machine translation of choice to check the meanings of those two phrases, if you wish.)

I've been often wondering, how will we use all this car infrastructure once people advance past private cars?
What will become of that drive-in McDonald's?

I could imagine some sort of a small-scale factory using the building?
Multi-storey parking garages could also serve as storage space, maybe? The tilted floors make many things more difficult, though.

Glad to be of use!

Oh, and here's an incomplete Wikipedia article about that cow (and the almost not main character, which is a crow): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Moo

[–] Tuuktuuk@anarchist.nexus 8 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Once upon a time there was a crow who was befriended with a talking cow that really, really liked to sit in a swing! (The original name of the book actually implies that the cow has a child, which is kind of freaky, because there is zero mention about the child, and actually reason to believe the child is nowhere around anymore. Why is the book not talking about the cow's trauma at all?!)

In any case, once the cow had climbed to a tree for fun, and it was very important that the farmer won't notice, because cows are not supposed to climb trees. The crow did a good job warning the cow when the farmer was approaching and damn it, I cannot remember what the hell the book tells, wait, maybe in the children's room there's another book about the same two animals!

...nope, couldn't find it. But, would you like to hear a story of a father who recently found three children's books that should have been brought back to the library a week ago?

I hope this story about a crow sated your appetite for crows!

Sorry for getting your hopes up. It's there a couple comments up from this one :)

Crows are generally awesome! I've only ever met one that I really didn't like. Want to read a story featuring that one? 🙃

[–] Tuuktuuk@anarchist.nexus 2 points 4 days ago

Awesome, thanks!

Something even more seagull-compatible than that. I don't remember what food I happened to have with me, because this happened some, 5-ish years ago? (It also was not a surgical mask, BTW!)

I think I saw her once, actually! A crow was harassing one of the small ones – it looked like it was trying to catch it to eat, probably?

A seagull saw what's going on and went full-blown "I'm a parent as well, you absolute damn fucker!", and chased the crow away. And really not just a few tens of metres away or so, but really chased them away from the whole general area where the mom with really cool hair was swimming with her family!

When the seagull came back, I gave it something nice to eat, because, damn, flying rat or not, that was a cool move! And I happened to have something seagull compatible, not just some bread that will do more harm than good.

Anybody know how much each of these two pays the artists? Tidal has been trying to profile as a service where the artists get more money than at competitors, but that does not necessarily mean Qobuz is really different from it in that manner!

Anybody know something about this aspect?

[–] Tuuktuuk@anarchist.nexus 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm using Tidal on a family plan. No such controls to any extent seem to exist on it.
