There are several actually, and usually for the same reason, but I'll pick
Handschuh - glove (de) "hand shoe"
kaus kaki - sock(s) (id): litt. "t-shirt for foot"
😉

Solarpunk by default because it is the one currently available mode of human thought that allows for being pro-technology while being anti-capitalist.
Post about #languages and #sailing mostly.

sorry to hear that. Well, if you do find, please share. As you say, always nice to have one more tool in the box 😉

ok. Shouldn't they be on the graph with zero then ? Would make sense to me 😉

Indonesian has several very "graphical" expressions, which makes sense since the language pre-dates (by far!) the arrival of the colonizers with their specific clothing.
glove is "sarung tangan", the sarung being the piece of cloth you wear wrapped around you that covers the legs (kind of skirt) and tangan being "hand/arm" .

@ShaulaEvans Probably for the same reason than Indonesian 😉
All germanic and slavic languages can make words at will by combining, so it's less fun,ie: kranken: ill, Wagen car, Haus house =>Krankenhaus (hospital), Krankenwagen (ambulance)
Indonesian transposed with rumah sakit: house for ill people from dutch ziekenhuis.

je ne connaissais pas la chanson, alors je viens d'aller voir. C'est assez dingue, parce que cela s'est vraiment passé.
je m'explique: une des différence entre l'espagnol d'espagne et l'espagnol latino américain est le "lisp" du Z.
Et cela vient vraiment du fait qu'un roi avait un bec de lièvre et était incapable de le prononcer correctement. Donc sa cour d'abord, le pays ensuite l'ont imité.
Donc bien vu Brassens (mais ce n'est certainement pas un hasard)

Dunno if generalized practice. All I can say is that I work in a repair cafe, so I get all sort of computers and that did the trick on a specific machine...

All languages have the official word and what people actually use 😉
for example in greek, a remote control is officially called τηλεχειριστήριο (tilecheiristírio) but everybody uses "komputeraki" and a computer υπολογιστής (ypologistis) but everybody says "komputer"
etc...

Does it means something else ? I mean is it a construction of existing words ?

I had a similar problem and this is how I solved it:
In my case, the "admin password" field was empty. I put an admin password, and all of a sudden I could enable USB boot. I did the install and removed the pwd.
Job done.
I really recommend https://outside.ofa.dog/book/196361/s/teach-your-cat-welsh for a gentle (and very basic) introduction to #Welsh. It is really funny and well done.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net why isn't Luxembourg, which is in Schengen, not in the Graph ? and Greece ?
Carlitos Comedy Club last night, last Red Mic session of the season unfortunately.
A real laugh - recommended if they come to a place near you !
