estos invertebrados no tienen nada que ver con las medusas, por lo que no son urticantes, (...)
"Son el paso intermedio entre los invertebrados y los vertebrados, puesto que tienen una primitiva columna, y forman parte del plancton, la sopa marina que es la base de la cadena alimenticia en el mar", ha manifestado.
These invertebrates have nothing to do with jellyfish, so they are not stinging, (…)
“They are the intermediate step between invertebrates and vertebrates, since they have a primitive column, and they are part of plankton, the marine soup that is the base of the food chain in the sea,” he said.

Awesome! Thank you very much for the heads up.
It seems to be working perfectly, even with videos. This is great!
This is really promising, thank you very much!!
I did a quick test and the only issue is that "extra elements" are not placed from left to right, but from center to the sides. See image below.
If that's not how it works by default, I will take a deeper look to see if that's caused by other CSS properties I have.

I think is this one:
daniel everett is the guy who worked on pirahã. he has all sorts of fantastical claims about the language but chief among it is the idea that the language doesn't include recursion because the speakers avoid relative clauses (not what recursion means in this context but ok). the papers are basically unfalsifiable because the pirahã people distrust outsiders, rightly so, and he steers very close to outright calling the people primitive savages, which is very uncomfortable. if you call him out on his shit he just calls you a chomsky shill. super toxic guy.
I find it funny that it's from the same user that wrote this comment in another meme I posted about it:
everett's papers are incoherent and contradictory
yes we should be skeptical of any theory. but finding proof that one part of a theory might be wrong does not make the entire theory wrong (also evidence keeps emerging that everett had an incomplete understanding of pirahã as for example didn't someone prove that recursion is actually possible in pirahã, just marked by prosody rather than syntax?). and then framing it as "fuck chomsky" rather than "fuck universal grammar" is disingenuous at the very least.
i dunno i could say more but i won't. i will say though: the way that everett frames this discussion as being either with him or with chomsky is frankly delusional

In this case, Dan is speaking Pirahã, to ensure that the lady he is working with won’t get any additional clues through his language use. > > This is a great example of how you can do monolingual fieldwork – in particular how to start monolingual fieldwork. > > After the presentation, there are numerous questions from the audience (again: really helpful in showing how this works).

returning to the old magic of RSS feeds
I love to read that, RSS-powah!
I've been missing this
You probably already saw it, but just in case, the WEBTOON page of The Weekly Roll has RSS feed (lnked above):
https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-weekly-roll/rss?title_no=358889
such a hard time getting RSS feeds added to Feedly
I cannot help with Feedly, I use www.commafeed.com (2000 feeds limit on the public instance).

Indeed! The style looked familiar and I was not able to identify it.
Most of the ilustrations of Lorenzo Colangeli are in a very similar style.

AFAIK that would be ok, a lot of subreddits don't even require the posts to be approved, so that would be the same as setting your sub to not require approving and posting to it with a different account.
I was never downvoted on Reddit as hastily as I am on Lemmy.
Note that, unlike reddit, lemmy shows negative vote values. So it may seem a bit more dramatic compared to reddit.
Sadly, that also hides all your own posts, even from your profile page. Which is invonvenient if you also want to keep an eye on them.

I can only assume it was an engineering challenge of some sort?
I would say so, James Bruton has some videos of the type "let's see what happens if I try this very impractical idea".
There’s be zero use for it as it’s presented,
Agree. For me, the fun part is that it's not a 100% fail :D.
Source (Full video): Can I ride a Bike with an Omni-Wheel? - (James Bruton, YouTube)
1 minute edit: https://i.imgur.com/ywsDJ2f.mp4
From the video description:
> Last time I built a giant omni-wheel. An omni-wheel can move in multiple directions because it has lots of smaller wheels around its circumference, so it can roll like a normal wheel, or slide sideways. Normally you’d use at least three omni-wheels on a vehicle so that you can move or rotate in any direction. But in this video I’m going to put my giant omni-wheel on the front of a bicycle, and with some clever electronics I’m going to control the wheel so I can ride it. I’m using the back end of the bike from the Makers Secret Santa Christmas video which Colin Furze left on my driveway. I’ll need to modify the bike so I checked it wasn’t Colin’s bike from his childhood or anything and he said it sounds cool. As I mentioned last time, the wheel is going to be mounted the wrong way around on the front of the bike so the two wheels make a T-shape. So first of all I need to make some modifications to the front forks of the bike.

EDIT: removed querystring params from URL to fix preview
The em dash is called the em dash because on old typewriters it was as long as an M. Why do I feel closer to this punctuation mark than the others? It could be partly because I ignored it for so long that it is the last punctuation mark that I got to know, and when I found it, I learned that it coul...
Prepositions are hard, and these are the ones that confuse me the most:
- It seems (...) [to / for] me
- It looks like (...) [to / for] me
- It feels (...) [to / for] me
- It sounds like (...) [to / for] me
- (...) makes more sense [to / for] me
Questions:
- Are both valid?
- If both are valid; is there any nuance as to which to use?
- If they aren't: is there a general rule or is it a case-by-case (as it usually is with prepositions)?
Thanks!

I don't really have anything to add, I just love this book. I searched for "The NeverEnding Story" in this community, saw that there was no post about it and wanted to fix that :).
Image found on Facebook. I think the source of that specific printing is the Spanish version of the book, [EDIT: as pointed by @alvarolh@lemm.ee, the version on the link is also a Spanish version, I may have had a brainfart because of the font (?)] but it's very similar to some German version covers.
