That’s a really great point.

It worked out just fine for her. Gave him a chance to dig his own grave, which is what he did and what she wanted.

All files are made up of “text”, or rather, numbers. How each program interprets those numbers differs depending on the kind of work they do. Any program can open any file, but the way it translates those numbers won’t make any sense if the file wasn’t intended to be opened by that kind of program. So, if you opened an MP4, you might see a little bit of metadata that was encoded in a way the text editor can understand, and then you’d get a ton of random symbols, some that are numbers and letters you recognize, but a lot of them would be specialized characters from farther on in the list of characters whatever font is being used might have.

Think of it this way: take two human languages that use the same writing system, like German and French. Suppose you ask a Frenchman who also speaks English to translate and write down a few specific sentences. You then take those sentences to a German who also speaks English (but not French) and ask her to translate it into English. Obviously she can’t. She might be able to sound out the words, but neither of you will know what it means, and it probably wouldn’t sound right to a French speaker. Or better yet, you can ask her to try and guess what each word means. She’d likely come up with mostly nonsense (minus a few cognates and loanwords). This isn’t an exact analogy, but that’s basically what’s going on.

That one really is a banger. But watching that video again, I can’t get over how terrible the vocals would actually sound if she was up on the mic like that.

Psychopaths.

I was thinking a nice golden throne. More appropriate for a god-emperor.

If only!

Guten taaaaaag!

Doch nicht allen! Es gibt Dutzende von uns. Dutzende!

They may have tried that once before…

Stöckl, probably, if you’re Austrian.

Weirder than Dutch? I do not believe this.

Okay I’m curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?

How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That’s my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.

Was that Edelweiss? I don’t know what to do with this.

It is. I’m American and millimeter was my first thought as well

I think autocorrect got your “compromised”.

Oh no, not Lucas!

Well in that case I’ll have a rum and Coca-Cola.

Haha no it’s a Run the Jewels lyric.
