Everything You Ever Need To Know About "Cis" And "Trans"*

* but are too woke to ask.

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand,
⁠Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation,
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land,
⁠Praise the Power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto—"In God is our Trust;"
⁠And the star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

“The terrible truth of software security isn’t that people are incompetent or lazy (though that probably happens sometimes.) It’s that the interactions between components, dependencies, and overall systems are now so awful that they may be impossible to secure at a reasonable cost." trenchant.org/daily/2017/3/6/

Mit der humanistischen Bildung isch's au nemme dees.

Ich habe gerade beim Einkaufen in Tübingen ein hübsches junges Fräulein mit schwarzem Top und völlig bekritzelter Khaki-Hose getroffen.

Ich hab' sie gefragt:
Haben Sie überhaupt das Abitur?

Das hat sie bestätigt.

Aber bei meiner nächsten Frage:
Was bedeutet:

Si tacuisses, viridis mansisses

war sie
—trotz soeben bestandenem Latein-Leistungskurs-Abitur—
mit ihrem Latein am Ende.

O sancta simplicitas!
