Anybody watched the video? What's the verdict?

I couldn't stop laughing when I heard this the first time at university. I still occasionally make a point to use the word in source code comments and stuff wherever it may fit. Love it! Nibble!

Finally, I am not the only one! Feels good.

Well in my case it's more about where to draw the line between blue and green.

I can differentiate the colours but just still call things blue that my GF (and most of the rest of the world, apart from Japanese and the german dialect I grew up with as it seems) already calls green.

[-] Rexelpitlum@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, exactly.

E.g. in Germany I don't have heard anyone using Indigo and Purpur as major colours but only in combination with blue : "Purpurblau" and "Indigoblau" describing certain forms of blue.

So only blue and violet in german rainbows. And ultraviolet because most of us are more engineer than poet nowadays ;-)

Interesting point.

And I am a little bit with the Japanese in this regard. At least my GF always complains that I am unable to correctly distinguish between green and blue ;-)

No, my fault, I only knew such stuff with real maps up to now.

E.g. a local natural park did something really similar, adding a bunch of plant and animal pictograms to their map as a mini game. You had to count how many you saw. Did really help to not letting the kids get bored during the hike.

And also there is geohashing which is kind of a "roll your destination" game...

Ok, so you don't do actual hiking, now I think I get the basic idea!

I was propably confused by your "take it on next trip" remark..

Don't quite get it...

Is it something like geohashing on a physical map?

What are the symbols for? (I guess you didn't actually encounter 20 bears?)

lt does but toilette had a different meaning during the time the term Eau de Toilette has been invented. So the funny cross reference is a random artifact of language change.

Although perfume has also been used a lot to cover the smell of unwashed bodies especially during Baroque.

So it is perhaps a fitting reference nonetheless :-)

l am using it to revive old phones since its cyanogenmod days. There has been a lot of progress on the installation and update side, much easier now, so perhaps just try it.

Much better than a phone without Seurity updates...

I have been using Neocities for years now. Because sometimes a simple static Website with a few images and some javascript just does the job.
