english translation
today i discovered how the translations of metazooa work
it's horrible.
if you have spanish as your language, for example... the game will use google translate to translate the common names of animals from english to spanish. however, in fact, it translates them from "detect language" to spanish.
this game thinks that in spanish they say "como" (aka "as") to refer to yaks.
hoy descubrí como funciona las traducciones de https://metazooa.com/ .
es horrible.
si tenés castellano como tu idioma, por ejemplo... el juego usaría google translate para traducir los nombres comunes de los animales de inglés a castellano. sin embargo, de hecho, traduce los nombres de "detectar idioma" a castellano.
este juego cree que en castellano dicen "como" para referir a los yakes.

it is my considered opinion that makers of mixed drinks are entitled to call themselves alchemists

meson seems like it could be really cool.
build tool that can automatically fetch and build dependencies if they're missing.
sadly upon attempting to build any project using it one quickly discovers that this functionality does not actually work
not sure swings at the bat is a real idiom for reasons of you don’t swing at a bat in any bat sport i think.
not the first time we’ve answered a question in perfect sync. but to be fair we have watched like four or five seasons of University Challenge together. so a lot of swings at the bat.
get you a girl who answers quiz show questions "spontaneous generation" at the exact same moment as you
instagram is somehow the least usable social networking service. i’m a regular tumblr user.

locro kinda rocks btw. stew is best food group after grains. but there's maize in locro so it works out

plan D did in fact work out. sofi also actually had a somewhat more seasonable if slightly less dessert-y option in mind so we might have gone for that as plan E instead of the unseasonable one

strike that, time for #4. with luck we won't need to go to the rather unseasonable #5.

our first eeveelution in PLA was sylveon

empanadas also good even if not as amazing as the medialunas
very amusing that the spanish wikipedia article for mate makes sure to clarify that water boils at 100 °C at sea level

ey we found a place with vegan medialunas that delivers. delicious. also vegan empanadas. those i havent tried yet since those are for dinner (we ordered early since it closes at 1930 and this way we could have the medialunas for a merienda)
i start to say "ok so" and the entire first verse of chapstick chapped lips and things like chemistry runs thru my head
