Do you mean New Mexican Spanish?

You don’t seem to understand the difference between free as in freedom and free as in beer that is literally the cornerstone of the free software community.

He also says, Palestine supporters and Hamas supporters are, and I quote, one and the same.

I spent more than I’d like to admit wondering “what the fuck is a wel relation?!”

Yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen. The Switch OLED is already more powerful than the Switch but Nintendo artificially limits the performance because… reasons.

A couple of figures of speech from Mexico that I find equally nonsensical:

Simón: Means yes.

Nelson: Means no.

Mátala(o) (kill it): to finish a drink or a snack.

Jalar (pull): To go somewhere or agree to a plan. You may also hear its long form “¿jalas o te pandeas?” (do you pull or do you bend?) meaning “are you coming or not?”.

¿Se va hacer o no se va a hacer la carnita asada? (Are we doing or not the carne asada?): It means “Is the plan still on?”

Chapulinear: There’s no literal translation for this one but I guess it would be like “grasshopper-ing”. It means seducing a friend’s partner.

Tirando el perro (throwing the dog): Flirting.

Arma la vaca (build the cow): Gathering money for a small collective purchase.

Huele a gas (Smells like gas): To leave. That’s kind of like an advanced figure of speech because it comes from Fuga, which in and of itself is a figure of speech meaning “to leave quickly”. It literally translates to “leak”, as in a gas line leak, because you’re supposed to leave in a way that mimics gas leaking from a pipe. So, when we need to leave but not as quickly, we don’t say “leak”, we say “smells like gas” implying there might be a leak.

Here’s a modern one:

Quesadilla: Means “that’s so sad” because it sounds like Qué sad (illa)

I remember one time I was arguing with some guy about I don’t remember what but I left to do real-life stuff and didn’t check Lemmy for like 2-3 days and came back to find him arguing with someone else and being adamant that I created another account just to make it seem like more people disagreed with him. Some people prefer to make shit up than to face that they might actually be wrong.

Skill issue

You need to study up on your trolleys. That’s clearly a Vaporizer Trolleynator 3000.

So you’re saying there’s a 100% chance the comitees get vaporized by choosing the bottom track.

Fucking Hitman, man. It’s not only confusing, it’s bullshit. I had Hitman 1 and 2 and there’s a process to transfer them into Hitman 3 so that you only buy the Hitman 3 content so I tried it and… it failed. It just did. No error or anything, it just didn’t transfer shit. I tried again and it gave me an error saying I couldn’t transfer Hitman 1 and 2 more than once. Fucking Square Enix (or was it IO?).

This was written by someone with a raging Nintendo hate-boner. I’m certain because I have my own Nintendo hate-boner and even I’m not that deluded.

If it makes hipsters angry, it’s AAA.

I guess it wouldn’t make sense to measure energy used by gas-powered appliances in Wh since they’re not rated in Watts. Still, measuring volume and then converting to energy seems unnecessarily complicated.

Joules (J) are the official unit of energy. 1W=1J/s. That means 1Wh=3600J or that 1J is kinda like “1 Watt second”. You’re right that Wh is easier since everything is rated in Watts and it would be insane to measure energy consumption by seconds. Imagine getting your electric bill and it says you’ve used 3,157,200,000J.

I ate sushi today.

3-5 small houses to rent are still 3-5 small houses people who actually need it could be living in. So, yes, your aunt is a parasite.

We don’t need Batman, at this point, we need Manchester Black.

I also believe he should face an appropriate sentence. What’s the sentence for hunting without a licence in NY?
