As an American: I used to actually think that solder and "sauter" -- which is how I heard everyone else saying it -- were actually two different things.
If it makes you feel any better, though, I pronounce it correctly (rhyming perfectly with e.g. "folder"), and greatly dislike the way everyone else mispronounces it.
Gamers had two options for games that preinstalled games: Solitaire and Minesweeper.
So, which games did Solitaire and Minesweeper pre-install?
Combined, these disparate events swirl together to create the stuff of dreams for
What is "causal" science fiction? Is that where someone writes about something absolutely fantastical (but scientifically-plausible); and then, some ambiguous amount of time in the future someone makes the fantastical, seemingly almost-magical thing a reality?
I know that in this instance, it's actually a typo of "casual" -- but playing it straight here, what really would "causal sci-fi" be?
I think you've got the wrong coastline there: Spider-Man doesn't protect San Fransisco or Los Angeles, he protects Miami.
My first thought was, "I doubt it. Who wants to spend ages scanning cards with teeny-weeny dot codes (that frequently refuse to read because the sensor got blocked with dust) just to get their car's paint customized the way they want it?"
Of course, Nintendo's e-Reader peripheral for the Game Boy Advance hasn't been relevant for a good eighteen-ish years now...
Still, e-ink paint is pretty cool. Might kinda suck for anyone whose car gets badly scratched/dented and the place they go to tries to match the paint color without realizing it's special paint -- 'cause if you change your car's color, then you're stuck with spots of the wrong color --, but as long as they're not changing their car's color very frequently, they probably won't even notice.
It looks like someone finally got hit by the Y2K bug.
You know how we call a mobile or cellular phone? "Handy". Because you hold it in your "hand"? Without a wire? Not really sure how that term emerged but it is as it is.
Well, it's a "hand-held cordless/wireless telephone", so I assume it was abbreviated to "hand-held" (and later, to just "handy") for convenience.
Before I read one of the other replies, I'd been thinking that "rainbow press" was a word for "extremely 'colorful' (i.e., heavily embellished) news articles". It certainly seemed accurate: Bild is some tabloid thing in Germany, right?
I'm inclined to agree with you, especially since they misnomered the River Thames as "Thames River" in the beginning of the summary; the latter is not the river in England, but is instead a river in the State of Connecticut that was named for the river in England.
THREE, actually!
... Windows 11 SE defaults to saving all files (including user profile information) to students' OneDrive accounts,
According to this part of the summary, I think that there's also some planned obsolescence involved. Didn't Microsoft mention that they're shutting down OneDrive?
I disagree: a fucking novel could've at least been a fun read.
A Møøse once bit my sister
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
She's not the first, and she won't be the last: they brought back Agent "Phillip" Coulson* first, then Infinity War happened and they brought back a LOT more people (including Gamorra).
Though that's only if they don't decide to just reboot the whole universe wholesale, which also happens remarkably frequently in many superhero comics. (Or they could decide to follow a different facet of the Multiverse for a while.)
*According to a snark from Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, Coulson's first name is "Agent".
"Me fail English? That's unpossible!"
2021 will finally be the year of Linux on the Desktop!
