u-boot und es heißt eigentlich unterwasserboot

Ha. So I wasn't wrong, except for the spelling. :)

Also, you need to capitalise nouns! D:

ahhh, i meant unterseebot

m(

Aw. So close. >_<

*boot

Haha.

damnit

hahaha

:-)

fatfingers

we say "U-Boot"

nobody says "Unterwasserboot"

ah, yeeeargh already said that

In WWII films, even we (the US) called them u-boats

ah, I didn't know that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-boat

JonnyJD, how was my grammar, poor vocab choice aside? :)

similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer though

like say panzer to german tanks_

derwin: for all those links, I see the import ot mb link. try force refresh or something?

(I had to do that for the pro site)

Leftmost: auf einem gelbem U-Boat, though I can't explain why exactly..

Even war can't stop loan words.

Hey, I got auf right.

JonnyJD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuDtACzKGRs

oh hey, they'recalled Ubåt in norwegiant also

Leftmost: you can also say in, not really sure if "auf" would be correct or not in this case. You see "auf" for ships, not sure if that also counts for submarines..

hibiscuskazeneko: lol

that came to mind from what you guys were saying

ZaphodBeeblebrox: Well, it's "ubåd" in daily speak here too, just like "automobil" is simply "bil".

Freso: in german it is worse, we say "Auto" for Automobil, not that "auto" would make it technically distinct

What /is/ the deal with those beer boots? They always remind me of something my mother used to say. "He's so dumb, he couldn't poor piss out of a boot if the directions were on the sole."

Freso: well that's what I assumed too :P

oops, s/poor/pour/

he's poor in the inteligence levels

grr

freso, though afaik the "bil" denomination was a result of a vote in amagazin/newspaper for what a the danish word for "car" should be. and "bil" was chosen (from automobil) and was further imported to norway and sweden

while "ubåt/d" is just a simple foreshortening of "undervannsbåt" afaik.

ZaphodBeeblebrox: Just 'cause a word wins a vote in a paper does not mean it automatically gains acceptance in the public daily language.

ZaphodBeeblebrox: lame,bummer.

Freso: urhm.. any what else do we today call cars then?

also I didn't say it was fact, i seem to remember this reading itsomewhere

ZaphodBeeblebrox: I'm not saying we're not using "bil" or that it didn't win some vote in some paper.

ok fine. I'm not saying that it's not possible that people used "automobil" aroudn the time

ok? :)

Just that B) might as well be caused by A) as the other way around.

(That is, people might as well have voted for "bil" since they had already started using that word.)

well it was picked because it was part of "automobil" so

uhm.. oh well oh is that your arugment uh

Part of it anyway.

i thoguht that it was tht people used "automobil"

in anycase

They did way back.

i dag sier vi "bil"

in german bis das "auto"

and the english are speical as usual and use "car"

:D

I still think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWd0hCqcqLg is great.

ZaphodBeeblebrox, of course we call them cars. "Horseless carriage" is kinda cumbersome.

ohh, fun anectode

There's this car repair discounter chain called "Autowash" in GB

it's called "Carwash" in Germany

*glass

not wasb

*wash

Leo_Verto: Do they play this when you go through it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkxaunLybuM

(oh wait, you probably can't see it)

it's the car wash song

surprisingly not GEMA'd :D

wow, we got lucky

What should the 'album artist' be for a karaoke compilation of remade songs. legally, the artist is the production company. Should I do [unknown] or 'Various Artists'?

Probably either [unknown] or [no artist]

k,tnks i'll go with [no artist]

no prob

doesn't [no artist] mean literally that there was no artist?

they aren't artists, just paid anonymous employees

any attemp to find who played drums would be impossible ;)

that's what [unknown] is for.

ok... so for example, sound scapes of running water and waves splashing at the beach fir for [no artist], literally

that's my understanding, yeah

hmmm

Should I merge https://musicbrainz.org/artist/86b28414-0f2b-47... and https://musicbrainz.org/artist/1ee76ba8-e405-48...

They're the same person, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcie_Free

davygrvy, I'm going by https://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Unknown_...

adding a release for [unknown] is ok?

yes, under limited circumstances (of which this may be one)

[anonymous] seems to fit

i would use the company name

Or company name.

the "karaoke players" hehe

doesn't seem to be any different than say: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/eff39ac9-2a33-453...

IOW, a lot of editors prefer to use any plausible "artist" over [unknown] et al. I fall in that camp too.

with one notable exception

only one? this is a good day.

(you know who I'm talking about)

as long as everybody is editing/voting in good faith, a little bit of dissent is good :-)

ok, for some reason dragging the url?tport=8000 over to picard isn't working

i don't see a green tag on the page either

sleezio: Picard doesn't care about the ?tport=...

yeah, just append ?tport=8000 and you're good

sleezio: If Picard isn't getting the releases when you click the green "button", something is off in your system.

Are you using NoScript?

it's disabled

Completely disabled, or just "allow scripts on all sites" or however that goes.

globally

Yes.

So is it disabled on about:addons or just having scripts allowed globally?

The latter option will still block some non-script things.

(Like trying to load localhost pages.)

I have...

# Allow MusicBrainz to ping Picard

Site http://127.0.0.1:8000

Accept from beta.musicbrainz.org musicbrainz.org

Deny

ti's working now without ?tport=8000

... in Advanced → ABE.

no script is fine

Alright.

thanks again

Np.

I am very much in the "use any plausible artist" camp

unknown is getting fatter every day

I am also in the (lonely) "don't use unknown for ar's or credits"

camp

aka, adherents of the artist-of-last-resort doctrine :-)

imho [unknown] should be just that

ok, back to torchlight

I just found another stored box a couple hundred of CDs to rip.. There is no end in sight ;)

my wife is correct claiming I'm becoming a crazed hermit

does she say that like it's a bad thing?

What kind of music is on these CDs?

I don't know yet.. it was from the very mixed shelf of compilations and other weird stuff

The stuff from which crazed hermits are made

"of which"? whatever
