Well, dojít also means “come to” as in “understand” or “deduce”, besides the usual meaning of “finish walking”. However, dojetí is the gerund-like form of either the verb dojet (“come to”/“arrive” but not on foot but by a land vehicle; though dojezd or příjezd is used more often) or way more commonly the verb dojmout se (“get moved [emotionally]”).

The most accurate translation of the song title would be “[I Am] Afraid To Get Emotional” but “Resisting Being Moved/Touched”, close to what Google came up with, is the best if syllable count needs to be preserved.

An old Czech song just played on the radio…

He absolutely nailed it, actually. The fact that you posted it speaks to the success of the viral marketing campaign.

In the Czech Republic, a surprising number of yoghurt ads feature an animated skateboarding cow.

The industrial revolution resulted in climate change that makes it borderline impossible to be active outside in the summer.

This is false. Cars for sale in India need to be made with 3x more honk because the standard package would run out too soon.

Series

Please edit that (you can) or I’ll keep thinking of puns instead of what I tried

The pattern-seeking brain would be driven crazy trying to predict when the next tick is going to happen, as this pattern is not easy to analyze without tools. Experienced musicians could figure out that the shortest time between beats is half the second-shortest, and perhaps figure it out from there.

Anyway, you could make a website that simulates this or generate a long YouTube video, send a link to unsuspecting people and see what they think. If you want to be extra sneaky, use rain sound as background and “close-up” recordings of single drops for the beats. If you can’t code, make sound files of all the different possible measures in Audacity and use a media player with seamless playback and naïve shuffle.

I feel like drinking any more water mill make me become a solution

In Czech, they used to be called “křemenné hodiny”, which has the same ring to it. If you told someone these words today, they would imagine a clock meticulously carved out of a quartz block.

I didn’t, it’s from a spiegel.de article

I know but you need to be the right amount of pedantic. Too little and any sufficiently large curve seems straight, too much and you point out that there is no straight line on the surface of a sphere.

I KNOW IT’S BASICALLY A CIRCLE IN 3D SPACE. There is an exact amount of pedantry at play here, and you’re going over.

The line was published by David Cooke in this YouTube video. It lies on a plane but is not quite a great circle (in practice, you’d be turning slightly) and good luck sailing over the Antarctic ice shelfs this decade.

It can get a few percent longer if sailing between Madagascar and the rest of Africa but Pakistan-Russia does not have the same ring to it, I guess.


Edit: source (German), they also show the longest land route (across Eurasia of course)

Not to mention, India’s coastline is very much not straight on a local scale. You’re bound to find a place where it turns perpendicular to the journey close to the theoretical starting point anyway.

around Antarctica in a straight line

No, that’s not Earth’s great circle, you’ll be turning slightly. It only seems straight on most map projections because they want latitudes to be horizontal.

I agree. As long as anonymous voting doesn’t cause obvious trolling/spam issues, it should be preferred.

One of the reasons I’ve always found Facebook off-putting and never used it (even before learning about the shady practices) are the very visible votes. I tend to overanalyse any reaction and would judge people based on their votes on my posts, even if I consciously tried to avoid it. Similarly, I imagine some other people would do the same and I’d feel like I’m under surveillance.

Multiplication. It’s why it’s on the numpad.

Also, normal non-technical text also never uses these keyboard characters @^\|_ ` but they are there. If the computer keyboard was designed for proper typography, there would be keys for nbsp, curly quotes or the em dash.

Auch, wenn es sich um Kategorie abartige Kostüme handelt?

(Ist “abartig” das richtige Wort? Der Übersetzungsdienst, den ich normal verwende, bietet etwas anderes an.)
