This is above my linguistic pay grade as I'm barely able to string together a coherent sentence when working, but, I think the moral here is that English is a crap language (at the very least very messy and lacks qualities found in other languages).

It's a similar story for Swedish and German for example. Not exactly the same as Finnish, but the whole mashing words together for them to make better sense. I'm starting to think that English is the odd one out.

One example could be "kommunikationsdepartementssekretariatsanteckningar" (communication department secretary's notes). But an English example would be where Swedish, German, I guess Finnish, would say "blackboard" instead of "black board" to remove the ambiguity while English mostly does the latter.

Or maybe your expectations are off. Volvos have always been very safe cars. In my 2008 and 2015 Volvos the head rests are "uncomfortable" and immobile. But I, and others who are shorter, can adjust the seat so that it saves my neck in case of an crash. They're not there to be comfortable, they're there to save you.

Edit: fixed "your my express expectations"

Sorry to be that guy, but Scandinavia is just the "peninsula", so Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The Nordics is us three, Finland, Iceland, Färöarna, Åland and Greenland. Basically what you probably think of when you think of Scandinavia.

But yes, we rule 😎

Yes. Fuck Russia and fuck Russians. Slava Ukraini!

woosh

I had only fallen once with my bike as an adult. I live in Sweden and our cycling infrastructure in my town is g r e a t. The problem was that it was spring, so all the gravel/sand which had been spread during the winter was now on bare asphalt. I turned left and while the wheel turned, the bike did not.

There ain't much good infrastructure can do about gravel on asphalt.

Thankfully I didn't hit my head as it would've surely been a pretty bad accident. Instead I just hit every single boney part on my left side.

Ah you mean in the US? I see, well there's also the rest of the world

I've not been too keen on copilot, then we got it at work so I tried it. For my previous position working in an ancient java project which knows no rhyme or reason, a codebase which belongs in hell's fires, it was mostly useless.

I switched to a modern web developer position where we do a lot of data manipulation and massage it into common types to visualise in charts and tables, there it excels. A lot of what we do uses the same datasets and are then aggregated into one of a set of common types, so copilot often "understands" what I intend and gives great 5-10 line suggestions.

These last 3 weeks I've had the massive task of separating our data processing into separate files to finally add unit tests. Doing the refactoring was easy with IntelliJ, copilot quickly wrote tests as with 100% coverage which allowed me to find a good number of undiscovered bugs.

Tbf, I think it's translated to "give me a clap papa". But I'm basing that on interpolation as a swede

Same in Swedish, "sköldpadda". Literally shield toad.
