One I like is the phrase "the tell-tale signs", which refers to a sailing boat's tell-tales. These are small strings attached to the sails to indicate if the sail needs to be trimmed for optimal performance.
>also tell-tale, "discloser of secrets," 1540s, from tell (v.) + tale. As an adjective from 1590s. Phrase tell a tale "relate a false or exaggerated story" is from late 13c.
Is it maybe that the nautical term comes from plain English?
Quite a lot of folk etymology tries to, incorrectly, assign nautical origins to common words and phrases. I used to read a column by an etymologist that jokingly referred to this using the term CANOE - the Committee to Assign a Nautical Origin to Everything :-)
In Austria, the price per kWh has quadrupled since May 2020, which is when I moved in to a new home. Unfortunately this [0] chart from my provider only goes back 12 months, but you can see even during this short time that the price increased from 5.81c per kWh to 12.43c per kWh, which is more than 200%. I checked some of my statements, and in May 2020 the electricity price was 3.13c per kWh, which represents an increase of about 397% compared to today's price.
Still cheap compared to Denmark. I'm not one for optimizing my electric bill, so I've probably got a fairly bad deal by paying between 27 c/kWh and 34 c/kWh. 75% of the electric bill consists of fees to the state anyway, it's quite ridicules.
The upside is that these fluctuations are kind of mitigated and smoothed out.
I remember having fun of two different bills one from transfer and taxes and one for power itself. The monthly fee for just having connection in apartment building in a town was more than what I paid for power it self... Not to even mention the taxes and fee for power transmission...
Yeah well these are the raw prices per kWh, there are also a lot of fees added by the state and the state run suppliers who provide the infrastructure. Pretty sure you can double whatever I have quoted for the actual per kWh prices.
dtrx - Do The Right Extraction. It's a tool "for Unix-like systems that takes all the hassle out of extracting archives": https://brettcsmith.org/2007/dtrx/
In Debian/Ubuntu you can install via apt.
Also, I'd second tldr which has been mentioned here already. It provides simplified man pages which common usage examples that normally fit on a few lines on screen: https://tldr.sh/
Yeah it looks rather unmaintained, but can still be installed via apt on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. So yeah should be fine for a few years to come if you are a Ubuntu user (the system I use, I have no idea about other distros).
Nice project - just one bit of feedback, on a German keyboard y and z are swapped and it makes playing pretty difficult. Maybe alter it so that y or z can be used for A.
Edit: Also, the buttons are mapped the wrong way around. On a NES controller B is the leftmost button and A is the rightmost button.
