Sounds great, yeah. I am not good enough at computer stuff to start an instance, but I would be really happy to join one. So keep me illuminated, please.

 

I haven't been able to find any communities dedicated to our Lord and Saviour Eris, and I am perplexed by this fnord. Where are you hiding, my fellow popes?

It's the same in Afrikaans. But there's a 60% overlap in the vocabulary there, so it makes sense.

 

I'm just wondering, because I have seen some negative comments on here about him, but they don't usually provide specifics.

What a beefy comment.

Thanks for the stranger, kind gold.

 

Edit: Wow, this really blew up. Thanks for the updoots, kind strangers.

So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.

Where is Ned Ludd when you need him?

Right? These kids walked so The Chats could run.

 

Don't you just want to give this kid a hug?

I know I'm a month late, but I just came across this comment. Joel Haver is one of the most beautiful filmmakers I have ever encountered. He just has so much empathy for his subjects, and it feels like he really loves his characters. I discovered him a few years ago, and I am definitely in for the ride. There is not enough ass in the world for that man to kick.

Might I direct you to [email protected]? Boox devices have a fantastic generic reader app which can handle just about any file type and is very customizable. If you are willing to navigate certain sites, you can get many books for free, and the Boox reader app is an absolute champ when it comes to opening them and tweaking the experience to your liking. It's more effort, without a doubt. But it's worth it for me personally.

So I have a story related to this. I teach English in Korea. One time, two 11-year-old students chose kopi luwak as a topic for their in-class (no research) project. I asked what that is, as I had never heard of it. They explained in pre-intermediate English that there is a cat that poops coffee beans. I didn't believe them at first, because it sounded so silly. But they urged me to look it up. At first, I got confused between 'kopi' and 'coffee', because Korean has no 'f' sound and substitutes a 'p' sound. But when I finally found the Wiki page, I was blown away. The fact that this is real would be so funny if it weren't for all the abuse another user pointed out.

 

My theory is that chihuahuas are so on edge because they know something is wrong with them, and they know it's our fault.

 
 
 

Hi, all. So I am a South African living abroad, and I have a question. See, I'm an amateur musician, and I want to record a cover of the song "Blou Blou Lug" by Seeleeu Leipoldt for my next album. The problem is that I can't seem to find out how to navigate the copyright situation. I don't want to step on anyone's toes here. Is there a database somewhere that I can search to figure out who owns this song?

TL;DR: I need info on the copyright of an old Afrikaans song for the purpose of releasing a cover version.
