You could maybe just stuff the inside of the sharkfin full of tinfoil.

Schon, aber doch mit anderer Bedeutung.

And we have more of those, like "schon", "gell", "fei" (in some dialects), "halt", "eben". Maybe a few more I cannot think of right now.

…

Just because all the other languages are inferior for the lack of a "doch" equivalent... ;)

If you cheat a little, you can get to similarly low numbers in German:

"Zuviele Abschiede von ihr" - 8

"Ihre zuvielen Abschiede" - 8

"[Sie] verabschiedete sich zu oft" - 8-9

If you accept "trennen" ("separate") for "saying goodbye", you can do

"[Sie] trennte sich zu oft" - 5-6

If you accept "[weg]gehen" (go [away]) for "saying goodbye", you can also do "[Sie] ging zu oft [weg]" - 3-5

The "Sie" (she) is optional, but leaving it out sounds hurried and informal.

The literal translation also isn't very idiomatic imho, I'd rather expect to hear one of the latter ones if it was really about separations and going away, the former phrasing suggests more something of literally saying too many greetings.

If you want to keep it very formal. Informally one would say something like "Trau dich, trinks!", or even shorter, "Komm, trinks!" or "Hopp, trinks!". Also depends on the exact intentions, if it were a bet, one could translate it as "Wetten dass dus nicht trinkst?", which would also state which side of the bet the speaker is on. "Herausfordern" is also more something like "challenge", as in "one knight challenging the other", less like "dare" as in "one child trying to get the other to do something".

Not quite. Edges can break from excessive rolling and bending which is the usual mode if the steel isn't over-hardened (Excessively hardened steel will not roll over, only break, and is usually impossible to sharpen). You can get breaks from hitting something hard like another metal or ceramic surface, but those accidents you cannot fix with honing. They should be rare if you pay attention. Wear can also be fixed with frequent honing if your hone is either hardened steel (usually the ones with the very fine structures and the dull darker surface) or diamond surfaced, because both are mildly to very abrasive.

I also sometimes do this (although not with tomatoes). But my knife for this is very sharp and hook-shaped (I think the english word is "turning knife"). Only thing you have to pay attention to: when cutting "against your thumb", never press your thumb into the knife, otherwise things will get bloody. The technique that works best imho is to e.g. hold a carrot in one hand, knife in the other, thumb fixing the carrot and knife edge cutting in a rotating motion around the carrot's axis beside your thumb.

You cannot even backup all of the playstore apps, tons and tons set the magic "don't backup" bit.

You are totally right in that there are basically no useful backups on android whatsoever. The closest thing is "adb backup" when you have root and developer settings enabled, which is saying a lot.

SafetyNet was always about DRM. The Play Store contains tons of malware despite SafetyNet, and malware does malware things despite SafetyNet.

Also, SafetyNet makes alternatives to Google Cloud e.g. for Backups non-viable, so win-win for Google I guess.

ssh-ing somewhere strange on a small laggy connection is standard operating procedure. Not having internet is normal. Not being able to write gigabytes of crap into root's home is normal. Not to mention not installing some weird language environment like Kotlin just so the config is highlighted properly. Including all the bazillion libs i'll need. And all the editor configuration that i'll of course have to copy around everywhere. And then debug first, to get the language server working on old CrapHeadDistro 17.9 from back when Obama still ruled. Only to get chewed up in the next security audit for having installed too much useless old crap, because I need that to edit some config files...

You can pry vim from my cold dead hands. After pressing <Esc> thrice of course. You may even get me to install a syntax highlighting file somewhere and maybe use netrw if possible. But a random server you are adminning just isn't the same as your average developers single laptop.

"Better" is very one-dimensional, but cooking isn't. You can get worse at taste but better at health. Better at health and taste but worse at time consumption. Better at price but worse at hygiene. Many things are possible, but without an audience or at least your own critical acclaim, you cannot prioritize.

And, of course, "there is no accounting for taste" meaning that some of the aforementioned dimensions are very subjective.

Disagreed. Practice is just one component in a cycle that makes us better:

We watch something, think of something, read something.

Then we try it out in practice.

Then we observe or have someone else observe the practice and result.

Then we take suggestions and improvements into account from that observation.

Then we start over at one of the points above.

If you only just repeat the "practice" step you'll get set in your ways, get used to doing the same mistakes all over, etc.
