Rail is required below Vyšehrad, or else Prague's transport gets severely crippled.
Now the corridor desperately needs a third rail. The main question right now is whether to:
I liked the takeoff ramp
I know, but I was wondering if they were also referencing the "If I could rearrange the alphabet" joke.
Why is the thumbnail drawing question marks around U and I being together? Even Dvorak does that.
A bit late to be an earphone cargo cult
Chess but NOT by the British guy who drew everyone's borders:
I've never played any Star Wars game, I just knew this bit of trivia
You got me, I've never watched it
I'm wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).
Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract's ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there's going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)
~~Netflix's~~ HBO's Chernobyl is by people who realized this and kinda conveyed the message.
Edit: I get the networks wrong because I pirate stuff
Today's news told in names of two Czech companies.
Unfortunately, it took backlash from EU to turn the needle but they did it. Now one "only" needs 2 doctors' recommendation, 1 year testing period, and then 2 more notes from doctors.

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.
Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.
Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).

"Ja, wie hast du's erratet?"

Ort: Titan RT über Rappbode, "weltweit längste (458 m) Hängebrücke Ihrer Art". Ein netter Fremde hat mit interessanten Pullover posiert.
Nun ernst: Genau wie „Hain“ ist tschechisches „háj“ ein poetisches Begriff für Gehölz. Warum wird aber ausschießlich in Harz die slawische Aussprache verwendet?
What movie?
