You realize, of course, that the frame with "Report your data or we'll never get that grant money!" is now a giant meme in academic circles?

2024-05-22 12:50:01 +0000 UTCIs how she's a short, black-eyed, brunette another "fact" which amuses you? I had a gf in HS who was six-foot-tall (back when that was uncommon) blue-eyed and blonde. Her parents were Dutch immigrants.

2024-05-22 00:49:58 +0000 UTCI saw a joke that Dutch is what German sounds like to the permanently drunk, an homage to Dutch beers.

2024-05-21 12:37:27 +0000 UTCEven though gramatically it doesn't make much sense, 'im' and 'nach' are German words right? And 'deen' looks like 'dein'. Then again the 'je' of 'holdje' seems to hint at Dutch more than German. :-D

2024-05-21 01:25:27 +0000 UTC"Hold the hand, flu in the after" almost works, as a bad poetic way of saying "Social distancing can prevent disease transmission". Perhaps Liz is actually undermining herself by telling this would-be friend I AM A DANGEROUS VIRUS.

Abhayakara
2024-05-21 01:20:58 +0000 UTCGoogle translate detected it as German, translated it to "Holdje Deen hand flu in the after." Manually selecting Dutch results in a different translation entirely: "Hold the handgrippe im nach." Thusly I posit that Liz's 'saying translates to "Hold the hand flu in the after." I don't know what a "hand flu" is, but I don't think I want one.
