Ok this doing my head in a bit.

Meal is short for mealtide, not used in English anymore but is in other Germanic languages. And etymologists seem to be uncertain if the meal part relates to time or milling. But that seems weird to me because then mealtide would literally mean something like times-time.

Edit: the two definitions of meal seem to stem from the same word. Hitting/striking wheat is done in times.

I'll use Dutch to clarify since English doesn't have the time definition anymore.

Ik sla het tarwe niet één maal, niet twee maal maar vijftien maal. I hit the wheat not once, not twice but fifteen times.

Na het enkele malen te slaan konden we het malen in de molen. After hitting it a few times we could mill it in the mill.

En toen hadden we meel. And then we had meal.

I hope that somewhat makes it clear.

Dude they're raspberries, just pull/cut don't use herbicides. They won't grow wild.

 

Some videos are displayed like this. Has been happening for a few updates now. No idea why it's happening. Also, when tapping the three dot menu on a post I sometimes get a white translucent overlay on the app instead of a menu.

This annoys me to no end. My phone has more RAM than my previous pc and yet android keeps purging everything from the memory. No matter what settings you tinker with, it keeps doing it. My Lenovo P2 from 2016 "only" had 4gbs of RAM and would keep dozens of apps open and would only purge the memory with a cold boot. I hate what android has become and that it's basically the only other real choice besides apple phones.

Yole in French is a small sailing boat. It's also in the English dictionary. A more common word would be skiff.

Is it just me? This show is so bland it's like it's been written by AI. I just watched some trailers and it didn't even get a smirk out of me. How does this get 6.9 on IMDb and a second season?

I'm sorry to be the asshole here but ... She hasn't been on the charts for nearly 10 years... She probably amassed more wealth than most of us will in a lifetime. If she's unable to work a regular job now to keep up the lifestyle and has to sell feet pics... Sorry but boohoo

Sorry to do this again but it's Brouwer*. I'll chalk it up to autocorrect

 

So apparently Google finally provides this functionality as an opt in privacy option in your Google account. The thing is though.. the check box and line "Include visual search history" isn't there in my account settings. It's supposed to be under Data & Privacy => Web & App Activity. Is this still in AB testing or being rolled out per region or...??

Thanks for anyone who can help me find an answer. I've been wanting this feature for a long time and google can't provide me with an answer to this question.
