Suddenly realise that the Dutch informal second person plural pronoun "jullie" LITERALLY means "you guys".

@gavi Have a small human meeting a small donkey.

A human toddler is walking at their parent's hand. A baby donkey domes running up and the two investigate each other while the human parent and the donkey parent facilitate that.

Thinking about the 1900's coin.

Don't think anything else I currently own - aside from perhaps books (if kept correctly) - can feasibly last 120+ years into the future.

This is a sobering thought.

Do you own anything that you think will will still be functional in 120 years? *

@Faintdreams Most of our furniture, cutlery and kitchenware probably will. (Some of it is 120 years old already, it can go another lap.) And art, though I don't know if "functional" is a good term for that.

  • Looks out window at: three bus stops, 2-5 pubs, a row of restaurants, and a busy shopping street at ground level *

Reader, those things were all there before I moved here. They're a big chunk of the reason WHY I moved here. 17 years ago …

@cstross We live in the centre of a provincial town. It's so nice to have everything in really short walking distance. (Well, the restaurant across the street is annoying, but that's because the boss is an asshole, not because it's a restaurant)

@cstross Furthest away is public transport: 8 minutes to the nearest bus stop, 12 minutes to the railway station.

@irina@wandering.shop avatar

@cstross For me airports aren't essential (I stopped flying years ago) but the nearest one (Schiphol) is less than two hours away by train.

People who know how printing from Okular (or other PDF programs, probably) works, help please? I have an 8-page A4 document that I want to print as an A5 brochure, double-sided, with all the pages in the right order (so I'll have a landscape A4 with page 8 and 1 side to side, and 2 and 7 verso; and another sheet with 6/3 and 3/4) Is there any way to achieve that short of putting it in a LibreOffice document as screenshots, because I do know how to print brochures in LibreOffice?

irina,
@irina@wandering.shop avatar

Yay! Scribus can open PDFs and preserved all my notes and layout!

... Boo, I have far too little experience with that. Can't even tell it that A5 exists.

"The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars)." --Er, we don't know that. All we know is that they are the only spacecraft made on Earth to ever fly in interstellar space.

Hey writer, if your teenage protagonist is supposed to be a math genius, don't let him say "day 4,583, seven months into the twelfth year of my mundane existence". It's his thirteenth year; he's twelve and a half.

@AmiW Baffling that they call the building "modern", it's at least 60 years old (I lived about two streets from there as a small kid, in a similar building).

@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

Baking math help please?

[Edit answer given thanks muchly. I need 3/8th of a teaspoon]

A bread recipe calls for 3/4 of a teaspoon of yeast.

I want to cut the ingredients list in half, how much yeast is that?

[This is hurting my brain, but I have dyscalculia].

Thanks in advance

irina,
@irina@wandering.shop avatar

@Printdevil @Faintdreams Just a bit less than half will do fine. Yeast is forgiving.
