There is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics. Might be an Abel or Fields medal recipient, though.

She literally mentions the KGB in some scene. Maybe that part is retconned later, but I literally cringed back from the dissonance.

Eh, it’s just dumb, imperialist propaganda. Not like we’re not completely immersed in this shit. And they’re mediocre action films with some competent actors in them.

 

After avoiding anything Marvel for 16 years, and the films aren’t what I would call good, but the character of Black Widow is just a blatantly flawed. First, her name: Natsha Romanoff. It should be Romanovna. Second, she war born in 1984. She was in the KGB. The USSR dissolved in 1991. ????

Backhendl is a German term for roast chicken (at least in some dialect), Friedhof means graveyard. Backhendlfriedhof is a derogatory term for fat person.

It wasn’t supposed to mimic a blowjob, he was complaining about mic stands being too short and him having to hunch over to be properly audible. It’s just way funnier without the context.

Nah, he just gave form to well established brain damage.

When cigarettes are just a bit too healthy.

“We are happy to announce that years after the development of the Torture Vortex, we have finally built the Agony Nexus from the cult novel WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE GODDAMN TORTURE VORTEX, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS? ANYWAY, DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BUILD THE AGONY NEXUS!

The fact that they don’t even get the SPD’s acronym right tells me more than I need to know about their understanding of the Weimar Republic.

The Mediterranean Sea isn’t exactly an ocean, but yeah, the point stands.

 

Smdh my dick head

 

Just doing research over here. Also by "good", I mean quotable in an academic context.

 

Most of the historic record of the GDR has been set by FRG historians running victory laps and is based on anecdotal evidence at best, mythology at worst. A lot of people also attempt to equate the GDR with the third Reich (which is insane to begin with, but that's what people are taught here).

Preferred languages would be German and English. I could make Russian work, but not very well.

Edit: I know about John Green.

 

As many of you know, 80% of the Wehrmacht were stationed on the eastern front. And where did the Soviets decide to engage them? On the eastern front. If the soviet leadership had any regard for the lives of their soldiers, they would have engaged the Wehrmacht on the western front.

 

According to her it was only used a handful of times and rinsed thoroughly. Which begs the question WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

 

Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like 90% of the work) but as I don't see them quite as often and I would like to be a little more self-sufficient this time around, I implore thee, Linux users of Hexbear. So here are some general questions:

  1. Which distribution is right for me?

I have some experience with MINT and kubuntu. I really liked the KDE environment of kubuntu and generally preferred it to MINT. My friend uses archlinux, but they also warned me that arch requires a bit of expertise and isn't necessarily user firendly. It looked really cool, though. I am willing to learn, but I generally suck with computers. I will mostly use my PC for basic programming tasks and data analysis (mostly python using jupyter, but I would like to learn some basics in C++), similar work related tasks (using TeX-Studio, the pdf editing functions of programs like okular, Libre office on rare occasions etc.) and the occasional Minecraft session.

  1. Where can I find useful resources for learning about a given distribution?

Keep in mind that I suck absolute shit at computers. I know how to access/use the basic functions of the terminal and how to superficially navigate the PC, but anything beyond that is magic to me.

  1. Y'all got any good wallpapers?

A FALGSC themed wallpaper that doesn't burn your eyes out due to being perdominantly red would be cool.

 

Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?
