Ty fámy o rozšiřování PIDu jsou zjevně notně nadsazené, značná část mého sleďstva je jím ještě nedotčená.
Taky furt čtete „pid lítačka“ jako „pidilítačka“?
Moc se s tím nepatlej, stejně se to bude brzo předělávat
Ano, vím, že mám víceméně na výběr mezi variantami 1) moc se s tím nepatlala a zůstalo to tam dlouho viset odfláknuté a 2) trošku času tomu věnovala a hned se to zahodilo.
Ani na jednu nich zatím nedošlo.
Ukázalo se, že existuje varianta 3) odfkáknout to nejde, protože je tam víc věcí k ručnímu řešení než obvykle. Doplněná o to, že v rámci šetření času pracuju s jedním obřím souborem místo opatrného porcování na menší a počítač… si… jaksi… dává… načas… s… každým… úkonem.

Torpenhow hill, England.

Note that this seems to be a ghost word, the story does not seem to be real ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill https://quiteinteresting.fandom.com/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill ) - Thanks @jantzen
Torpenhow Hill
Torpenhow Hill is a hill in Cumbria, England. It's name consists of the Old English ‘Tor’, the Welsh ‘Pen’, and the Danish ‘How’ - all of which translate to modern English as ‘Hill’.Quite Interesting Wiki

Don’t know about a Torpenhow Hill, but - as various online sources will attest - there is a place called Torpenhow in Cumbria.
Its pronunciation is an excellent test of one’s Cumbrian roots or local knowledge…

#listopiš 23 – Batoh
Říkali mu Šnek, ne že by byl pomalý, ale kvůli obrovskému batohu, který nosil všude s sebou. Měl v něm snad všechno: tužku, svačinu, multimetr i ručník. Skládací lopatku a čisté prádlo.
Jednoho dne našli batoh odložený v lese. Opuštěný, široko daleko nikdo. Volali, pátrali, vše marné.
Po dvou hodinách vystrčil hlavu. „Co je to za hluk? Jen jsem si na chvilku zdříml.“
A zalezl zpátky do batohu.

One advantage of the word "meowlogism" is that it can easily be translated into other languages: Miaulogismus (German) and others. And people know immediately that "meow" = "cat". Felines would not work in German, I think. But don't quote me on that. My English is better than my German, haha

@PalmAndNeedle @kkarhan @IPEdmonton In Austria where I live, we do not really differentiate the two sounds /k/ and /g/. It's kind of the same for us. So we would use Gadse and Gadser.

"Furrever home" is a common expression in the animal shelter world, referring to the cat's home of definitive adopters (as different from foster carers). Found often on Instagram (see e.g. @catsburypark and @bushwickcats).

Yes, I have come across that: 'furever home'.
What I am not really sure about is the difference between 'rescue cat' and 'shelter cat'. In Austria, animals are never killed when they are not adopted
linguistics group reshared this.
In the US, where we sadly do have places that euthanize animals, this is the key difference:
•Rescue cat: a cat that’s rescued, not purchased from a breeder. This is also used for rescue dog.
•Shelter cat: a cat currently residing in a cat shelter awaiting adoption. Can also be termed rescue cat; the terms are interchangeable in this circumstance.
Hope that’s helpful! 😺

But.
Obsidian is markdown. Shortly before I started with it, I started learning and using asciidoc for work. And switching between them messes with my head more than I like.
Also, it feels wrong to use markdown when taking notes about asciidoc.
Anyone in the same boat?

Postava několika doteky otevřela portál a proběhla skrz. Symboly pod jejíma rukama nejsou na zrnitém záznamu skoro vidět, raději pečlivě studuju postoje a postavení rukou, abych je uměla zopakovat.
Konečně jsem na místě, všechno je tak malé! Osoba na záznamu musela být dítě. Dřepám si ke stěně poseté znaky a doufám, že i v téhle poloze všechny trefím. Mám jen jeden pokus.
Když jsem si dřív prohlížela příspěvky na různých mastodoních serverech (třeba místní tajmlajnu nebo profil nějakého uživatele), mohl si tam člověk kliknout třeba na tlačítko odpovědět, nebo na sledování uživatele, a jako člověk z jiného serveru jen do okýnka zadat svoji adresu a danou akci na místě provést. Někde na pozadí si mě to akorát ověřilo.
Teďka mi to nabídne jen adresu uživatele/příspěvku ke zkopírování a musím se s tím odebrat na svůj domovský server, dát do vyhledávání, načíst a reagovat tam. Trochu opruz, první varianta byla rozhodně přívětivější.
Neví někdo, proč to zmizelo? Je to nastavením serveru, nebo nějakou aktualizací Mastodonu, nebo je to něco u mě?

1. V práci skener po ruce nemám, nevadí, udělám to, až budu pracovat z domova.
2. Doma vytáhnu skener - moment, já mám na noťasu málo USB portů. Ale ne, USB-C je ještě volné. Máme někde redukci? Máme.
3. Wokna nemají driver. Hledám a instaluju driver. Driver vyžaduje restart.
4. Před restartem pozavírám aplikace. Aha, tady u té jsem před pár dny odklikla aktualizaci po zavření. To byla chyba. Tak ještě nechám doběhnout akutalizaci aplikace, pak opravdu restart počítače.
5. Skener skenuje. Ještě najít vhodný papír, co bude vidět v náhledu.
6. Mám jeden obrázek do dokumentace.
Kdyby se někdo divil, proč přesnímání obrázků do celé dokumentace trvá několik měsíců, můžu ho odkázat sem.
