You sure that there are penguins in Scandinavia?

Not sure about that tbh. Seems only tangential related

The “defence” of Newag is wild: they claimed that the repair company (SPS) installed these malicious parts of the software. Why would SPS would do that and lose the repair contract back to Newag? That’s just a cartoonishly dumb claim

Driving with unsecured dogs is never a good idea:

Unrestrained Dogs in Cars Create Serious Risk of Accidents

In a car crash you endanger both yourself and the dog

German already had this: as soon as the judicial branch is corrupted, the downfall begins

It’s in their milestone 1.0.0 (issue 29) but no ETA given.

But they sound really good

As an engineer I fully agree. Engineers¹ aren’t even able to do basic arithmetics. I even cannot count to 10.

¹ Except maybe Electrical engineers. They seem to be quite smart.

Physicists be like: whitness me

Well, you have a point here.

IIRC it depends on the frame of reference. Relative to a magnetic field, the only thing a magnetic force does is changing the velocity direction of affected objects. All work regarding the absolute magnitude of the velocity is zero (no lateral acceleration).

Yeah that seems really far fetched. Humans are generally bad at communicating with mostly body posture and scent. We have no tail to wiggle, no easily movable ears and no chance to use cat pheromones.

So naturally the cat has the best chance to get a response by using vocalication/sounds. It is just coincidence that their kittens do also mostly respond to sounds in their first weeks.

Not to be confused with

SWOL

Regarding speed dreams, there is an announcement from a month ago: current status

TL;DR So they are currently switching from SVN to GIT and maybe use forgejo to host the project

There are no innocent cats, that is the reason why there are no catties

I just updated my answer with more examples but I think you are right with the nickname thing

I mean it only works with nouns that are not ending on vowels and also not every noun works good. But I heard this from people all over Germany. Mostly in a mocking way, like someone was eating too much and complaining about stomach pain:
“Oh, tut dir der Bauchi weh?”

Other commonly used examples I can think of:

• Lurch - Lurchi (amphibian)
• Frisch - Froschi (frog)
• Hund - Hundi (dog)
• Mutter/Vater/Oma/Opa - Mutti/Vati/Omi/Opi (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa)

In German this literally translates to something like “cute sand man”. Because in German you can just add an " I" at the end of any noun to make it sound cute and small. So “Sandi” can be thought of as a kind of diminutive of the noun “Sand”, similar to “Bauchi” from “Bauch” which is stomach. The correct dimunitve of “Bauch” would be “Bäuchlein” but this refers more to the perceived size of the object.
