Sorry but could you mention some of these other business you talked about?

Most of my gaming this year has been on my iPad. There are a lot of enjoyable “real” games… Just to give some examples: Total War, Six Ages, Slay the Spire, FM23, Kingdoms Two Crowns, Vampire Survivors, and I’ve played many more.

Not sure what is fake about them.

That said, the Vision Pro will also push the envelope when it comes to software, or so it seems.

⇧⌘.

That screenshot utility is also accessible with ⇧⌘5, which might be invisible, but just letting you know.

As for where to save that screenshot, that is available in the Options section of the floating menu.

Saying hi can actually cause disharmony by confusing newer team members:

For example:

How am I supposed to respond to a bare 'hi' after I asked a question?

Well, it isn't possible because humans are not deterministic, but I imagine the manager in question could possibly have a high 'hit rate'.

I'm glad I could help. And yes, I can see how it can be difficult to distinguish them, especially since there really wasn't any word that truly has become obsolete in those sentences, except the specific meaning of estado, it was just a matter of how everything works together, both words and phrases.

Also note that even in the modern version I made, some sentences sound formal, or perhaps literary, such as "que en aquella tierra hay" rather than the super informal "que hay allá" or the middle ground "que hay en aquella/esa tierra".

Also note that I completely botched the spelling of lucuciones adverbiales by adding an accent and eliding the plural, oops.

Thanks! I had fun writing it.

It was my first encounter with Hamlet so I didn't have another frame of reference to judge the performance.

And I had already watched him in other movies such as Rebecca (I didn't like the movie except for the (some of the) end) so maybe I was used to his acting.

Maybe I just didn't encounter any such performance when I was less... to be perfectly honest, I don't think I've ever seen a Shakespearean stage play I've been able to fully follow, even though my English is OK nowadays.

I've always had to use captions and backtrack/pause.

Yes. The sentence in question is "Yucatán es una tierra la de menos tierra que yo he visto".

The section "la de menos tierra" sounds fine in isolation, as do the preceding and following sections.

But together they give off a very archaic feeling. Understandable since it was written almost 500 years ago.

A modern version, might be:

Yucatán es la tierra de/con menos tierra que (yo) he visto.

If you know Spanish and you read that sentence and the following ones here: https://www.wayeb.org/download/resources/landa.pdf (cmd+f or go to page 101) you'll notice that every single sentence is rendered differently as it would be in modern Spanish.

An example:

Yucatán es una tierra la de menos tierra que yo he visto, porque toda ella es una viva laja, y tiene a maravilla poca tierra, tanto que habrá pocas partes donde se pueda cavar un estado sin dar en grandes bancos de lajas muy grandes. La piedra no es muy buena para labores delicadas, porque es dura y tosca; empero, tal cual es, ha sido para que de ella hayan hecho la muchedumbre de edificios que en aquella tierra hay; es muy buena para cal, de que hay mucha, y es cosa maravillosa que sea tanta la fertilidad de esta tierra sobre las piedras y entre ellas.

And a quickly made conversion into modern Spanish, trying to preserve certain things while excising others haphazardly:

Yucatán es la tierra con menos tierra que yo he visto, porque toda ella es piedra viva, y tiene maravillosamente poca tierra, a tal grado que habrá pocas partes donde se pueda cavar (4-5 metros cuadrados) sin dar con grandes bancos de lajas muy grandes. La piedra no es muy buena para labores delicadas, porque es dura y tosca; pero, tal cual es, ha sido usada para construir los numerosos edificios que en aquella tierra hay; es muy buena para cal, de la cual hay mucha, y es cosa maravillosa que esta tierra sea tan fértil, sobre las piedras y entre ellas.

EDIT: so everything is understandable really, but some things, like the phrasal adverb (?) (locuciónes adverbial) "a maravilla" has become less used than using -mente to convert an adjective into an adverb. And some articles are used strangely, and some words aren't used anymore (estado as a unit of area), empero instead of pero, etc.

I really struggle to see how the earbuds being wired changes their social acceptability in comparison to wireless ones. I don't understand the retort.

Not a modern Spanish sentence structure.

The problem with the stage is that it is much harder to stay on top of the plot. Especially when you aren't used to the language.

Laurence Olivier is a great actor. I've enjoyed several of his films, including his Hamlet adaptation (which he also directed). I have yet to watch Richard III though.

Like many collections, they omit The Two Noble Kinsmen due to unclear authorship, and for this reason I’m omitting it from my list as well.

Also, around 20% of plays credited to Shakespeare were collaborations of some degree, though the collaboration details have been long lost.

Isn't it accepted that The Two Noble Kinsmen was a collaboration?

EDIT:

[On Hamlet] You’d be hard-pressed to find something that beats the faithful, star-studded 1996 major film adaption.

Personally, I liked the (less faithful) 1948 film.

EDIT2: I also found it amusing that the play he liked the best is the only Shakespeare play I've actually acted in (before his favorite adaptation came out).

why would wires make earbuds socially acceptable?

It is true that no one would call it almost Semitic, but some very common words are of arabic origin.

Taza, guitarra, almohada, albañil, algebra, elíxir, tamarindo, fulano, alfombra, acimut, cenit, café, azúcar, naranja, azar, ajedrez, arsenal, aceite, alcohol, arroba, azulejo, alberca, cero, etc.

And also several toponyms, the most famous probably being Andalucía.

Hmm, are you calling out the clickbait of the article? I couldn’t fully understand.

It is just this logo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps

WARNING, a download link: https://www.bvger.ch/dam/bvger/de/dokumente/2023/04/B-4493-2...

That is actually the source of this. They are trying to register Apple Corps' trademark/logo.

So what’s really happening: Apple is trying to prevent others from using apples, including ones that don’t look particularly like Apple’s apple (2d, monochrome, bite out of it) from being used to compete with them. You couldn’t start “granny smith’s headphones and use an apple as your logo.

As far as I can tell, the apple in the trademark application looks exactly the same (except for the color) as the green apple in the Apple Records logo.

Not only Europeans... It is simply more comfortable, AC or not. But honestly I imagine I can just leave the battery pack lying besides me or wear some shorts or even buy some underwear with pockets (no way I'm doing this last one though) so it shouldn't be a big issue.

The request to not use more than 70 characters for the answers was almost totally ignored.

I have an iPhone 6 and a SE (2020) and I can tell the difference. The SE feels like my Mac's (2020) touchpad.

I think they might mean AssistiveTouch.

The UI to browse these mods is something out of a geocities website from the 1990s.

Is the Steam Workshop that bad for Civ?

Civilization Revolution was great! It was the first Civ I ever played.

But isn't there a huge difference between the AI behaving 'realistically' and the AI playing 'to win'?
