No they are not. The literal equivalent would be 'It rains'. Tenses just work slightly different in English.

Come on, this is just a joke adults will understand while children will not. If you think double entendres are censorship, I don't know what to tell you.

But if you don't have the D-ticket, good luck figuring out how the local ticketing machine works haha

Because the plague specifically did not reach Europe before 1347 as far as we know. Now of course there could be plague in Europe before this, and we modern people don't know about it because of poor recordkeeping or something. But it would be a bit surprising. Therefore: weird.

Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes... I wonder what it is.

Please don't! Or at least make it possible to change the app language instead of following the system if you do. Plenty of apps have faulty 'translations' that just make the app unusable. Especially because app text typically has no context, so you get these weird literal translations.

Enjoy finding a literal english translation that corresponds to something I may want to do in your app!

No, you may disagree with changing the minimum time from 3 to 5 years, but this is not 'a Nazi'. Let's keep that word for actual Nazi things, instead of 'things I vaguely disagree with'.

I feel like I should point out that this is an opinion piece by this dude, unlike the Hitler one above.

I don't know if first authorship needs to go away. I've definitely been 2nd or 3rd author for a few days of work (as compared to months of work for the first author).

You can give detailed attribution (many papers require them nowadays), but no-one ever reads them.

Haha, DB also does this with foreign delays. I've been in a German train starting in Amsterdam that left 5 mins late - they mentioned it at every stop until Munich.

Polar is not supported by Gadgetbridge (yet?), you can find the supported devices here.

Normally I would advice Bangle.js, but it is not great for swimming.

In the order of 40000 people, so pretty tiny compared to the big search engines.

 

I was always kind of skeptical of the type of person that swears Ritalin got them to the finals, bit happy there is now some evidedence as well.
