Fun fact: you’d think you could easily type capital à, è, é, ì, ò, ù on an Italian keyboard. Wrong. There’s no way you can do that, unless you have a Macbook. Italians are just forced to type A’, E’, I’, O’, U’ instead. But you know what we CAN type? Ç and ç. That’s right, a letter we don’t even have in our alphabet.
actually Ç is very useful because we have that letter in the albanian alphabet. so don’t assume keyboards are only for certain languages.
well the italian keyboard was in fact designed for the italian language, my guy
I have an Italian keyboard on my Chromebook, which I’m using right now, and I can type à è é ì ò ù as well as ç just fine.
I was talking about typing those… but CAPITAL
All I can think of is that post talking about how the reading comprehension on this site is piss poor, and someone responds with “how dare you say we piss on the poor”
i refuse to believe this because i have a portuguese keyboard which you’d assume to be similar (as it also has ç) and i can type capital accented letters just fine
ÀÁÈÉÌÍÒÓ
you just hold shift when pressing the accent key and the letter key for something like À and you don’t hold shift when pressing the accent key and hold shift when pressing the letter for Á
@aeritus back me up here can you do capital accented letters
The reason why they can’t is because their keyboard looks like this:
whereas your keyboard should look like this:
As you can see, you have a dedicated key for both ´ `, whereas Italians have keys with the vowels already with the accents, which they cannot capitalize.
Compare it to other romance language keyboards.
Spain:
Hispanic America:
Brazil:
and France which doesn’t even use QWERTY
When it comes to switching between languages, the Spanish and Portuguese ones are superior.
Hope players can now make Brain Ghosts of other players (especially those they pay attention to, or the Heart player). Brain ghosts look like regular ghosts, except they aren’t stuck in bubbles. Look at the chaos this HopeStuck session caused.
Meanwhile, players with a skill in Alchemy (or who just really fucking like robots) have a chance of making a robo-doppelganger of themselves or their best friend or, you know, the Heart player. Especially useful: Now we all know where all those robo-time players were coming from. Somebody in a doomed timeline lacked a time player and just fucking built one so that they could F1X TH1S. Here you see KR, the dream player, being kick ass at Alchemy.
I fucked with the way relationships work a bit (hopefully I didn’t break anything) because when the session crashed the first time a player tried to date a robot I realized that I had a unique opportunity to NOT automatically assume robots have less rights than people. This guy gets it.
hey did anyone hear the news that scientists have actually been able to figure out the most common key that old pirate shanties were sang in
imo it’s really interesting? like, they found and analysed lots and lots of sheet music that they suspect was inspired by all these old shanties, since all the music was written by people who are believed to have been former sailors or even former pirates. and the neat part is that statistically speaking almost 90% of them are written in the same key. i mean, obviously it’s not confirmed 100%, but it looks like almost all pirate shanties were sang in a high C
honestly y'all need to start being more critical w the animal content you reblog
reptiles interacting with cats? wild animals purposely in someone’s house? different big cat species interacting? a fish in a barren, little tank? literally anything involving brian barczyk?
most likely, those animals are in unsafe situations that are bad for their welfare and quality of life. those pictures and videos aren’t actually cute, don’t treat them like they are
This got way more notes that expected, so before this takes off fully I want to go through and explain why for those of you who don’t know! No worries if you aren’t aware, everyone is always learning, including myself.
Any other questions are best directed to my pet blog, @elemental-kiss
Reptiles interacting with cats First, cats will almost always see a reptile as a fun toy or a cool prey item. That means interacting, with their mouth or paws, as cats do. Even if you are watching closely, your cat could very easily kill your reptile. Next is the fact that cats carry a certain kind of gram negative bacteria under their claws that is harmful to reptiles- so even a small scratch can prove fatal. This post explains it well!
Wild animals purposely in someone’s house They’re wild animals and should be in the wild. If a deer wandered in and you took a picture but otherwise left it alone, fine, it happens, we’ve all gotten some wild critter in our house at one point or the other. If animals enter your home, do your best to provide ways for them to leave without interacting with them or habituating them to humans more- you don’t want them seeking out people, that’s how animals get shot. If someone put a wild animal (that isn’t like a leopard gecko or an american toad and therefore a pet that can safely be kept with humans) in their home, be wary. If the animal is a rehab case at a wildlife rehab, they’re not really going to have people take it home, even if it needs a lot of care. They don’t want to habituate it to humans, that makes it harder to release. Big cats and all those fancy zoo animals that aren’t native here and are dangerous? Have no business being in someone’s home. No responsible zoo would let their animals be taken home, and big cats and those critters don’t make good pets. Keep in mind appearance can be misleading, so check the source. The Minnesota Zoo used to bottle-feed their baby tiger, and they bottle-fed her in one of the zoo kitchens, which in photos looked very much like a domestic setting. So check for an explanation of why the animal is there!
Different big cat species interacting Obviously I’m not a big cat expert, so I’ll link some things here. Unfortunately the blog that had the posts I wanted to link most is now password protected, but it really should go without saying that you shouldn’t put two predator species that don’t live together in the wild together. I can’t name a single reputable zoo or sanctuary that would do that. It’s very much a gimmick done by “roadside” zoos. People love what they think are interspecies friendships. Also, hybrids between lions and tigers (for example) are possible, and not a good thing. Pxnthera has a good post here with lots of links on that. I couldn’t find the posts I was looking for specifically on big cat interspecies interaction, but here’s pxnthera’s interspecies interaction tag.
A fish in a barren, little tank There is not a single species of fish that should be kept in anything less than 5 (and honestly, really, in less than 10) gallons. Full stop. No exceptions. Most fish kept in home aquaria come from areas of dense planting- bettas, rasboras, pretty much most fish from Asia. South American species like cichlids and tetras generally need less, but every fish needs some form of cover! They need to be able to hide if they so choose. Every schooling fish? Needs at least 20 gallons or for some species, much more. Fish are complex beings with needs, they are intelligent and capable of learning, but most importantly they are living breathing feeling animals that regardless of cognitive capabilities and our ability to understand their behavior, deserve proper care and a good quality of life. Yes, even your betta. I talk fish a lot on @elemental-kiss so you can head over there for more info.
Literally anything involving brian barczyk Brian, also known as BHB Reptiles, or Snakebytes TV, is a glorified puppy mill for snakes and lizards. Check out my BHB critical tag, the Reptile Keepers against Brian Barczyk facebook group, and their companion instagram for more details- I couldn’t possibly name all of his horrendous care issues in one post. His husbandry makes me sick, its disgusting and even someone with no knowledge of reptiles can tell.
Any more questions about these topics specifically, or if a video or image involving fish, reptiles, or amphibians (my main area of knowledge) is actually cute, can be directed to @elemental-kiss which is my pet blog.
