Just for funsies Caesar is also the ancestor of Tzar and Keizer which covers a lot of European country words for emperor. Emperor coming from Imperium, also Latin but Roman empire actually used Augustus (like English augment meaning elevated as in the citizen of the empire that was elevated). Eastern Roman empire (commonly referred to as Byzantine) used Basileus which survives as basilica and basil the herb.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your weird talent that you almost never show anyone?
2·4 days agoI also check outside temperature with my nose. It’s very reliable since the nose has a very even temperature, the cold sting on the nose is good for -10 to 10 degrees. Also outside just smells very different by how hot it is from 15 to 35. Celsius that is.

1·6 days agoYeah, they probably were a bit conservative before but when you can fill a whole production line with back orders it’s really a no brainer.
I’ll kill it by removing it’s food source

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What basic or everyday thing did you recently find out you were doing wrong?
2·8 days agoI made an upgrade on my shoe tieing technique a decade ago. Here’s a guy doing it. It’s 2x faster than standard method of looping around the loop and is not a granny knot. After initial wrapping the laces step finishing is one second.

1·8 days agoI think both are easy. Gripping the stem and putting a nail into it pierces the skin then instead of squashing the banana you pull on the skin until it comes apart. It needs just a tiny bit more force, no squashing and when finishing pinching the bottom pops out the last piece.
Both completely valid.
Wait a month in the hut, if it dies on its own I win, if not I live anyway.
Would eat the onion for a 100, rest for 1000
I’d eat all 4 lol

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Learning Rust to make my perfect Linux programs launcher (rofi is perfect, except it isn't written in Rust)
5·13 days agoIt’s not all good but the memory management and no undefined state is a huge plus for libraries to have.
I’m autistic and my hand needs something. I otherwise pain stim and destroy my nails.
When I was 10y old I got to cut a thingy for my younger sister to choose. A third had sprinkles so I cut just that third of. My mom implied I was gaming the system but I said my sister is free to choose the bigger one if she wanted.
It was a gambit but I got 2x bigger piece.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Learning C++ for my perfect Linux programs launcher and themes (because I refused to have the limitations of rofi or wofi), wish me luck
5·14 days agoBest of luck, my pro tip is that learning by doing is a lot faster. Text based tic tac toe is a great project to get the fundamentals down. Text tetris is next for code organisation, reusable functions, interfaces and whatnot. After that it’s off to the races.
Not sure what I would be able to get that’s an improvement on my current body. Maybe something that behaves as a mouse/keyboard? It could be interesting to have something that skips songs playing or can click the TV interface but not sure why I wouldn’t just get 5 mice or have a programmable IR blaster on the phone. Even something minor like a chip in the hand for RFID sounds better served with a smart ring since a power source, replacements and programmability sounds better than essentially just having a card chip in the hand. Make the ring into a solar panel with a physical on/off switch and it fits all my requirements.
So probably not anything, only possibility is that I lose something such as hearing, vision, leg and I get a replacement.
Hip replacements with a step counter coming soon

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Let us end the stovetop war with the real champ
1·22 days agoEasy to wipe true, but what if instead of a capacitor button we can have a magnetic control board with magnetic push keys?
It would be fully removable, attachment magnet snaps it into place and then it’s essentially a button with a magnet physically travelling up and down.
The I really hate the capacitor buttons since if you get pasta that boils over it fucks with the buttons pretty fast and the “off button” is just not good for quickly turning it off when flooded. It’s same for pan cooking sauce that splashes a bit, wiping the surface moist rag can have mixed results, paper towels become a requirement. There’s just a lot to not like.
A standard knob, as long as it’s not designed by an idiot, can be very simple by having a piece of heat resistant non corrosive material stuck out of the stove top and the button having a 1cm gap under it. Just make the pin chonky and you can drop a pan on it without anything happening. Lift the button off and it becomes still very easy to clean.
For any finincial anything always do a round trip with a $10 too see if it’s possible.
