Ooh nice, thanks :)

I recognized 打 as something on the lines of hitting or striking, but wasn't sure if it actually had that meaning here, or something (seemingly) unrelated as in 打的.

I don't know all the words in this, but I doubt it; it's a classic Chinese tongue twister.

The first line translates to "four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty. On the second & third line it's something along the lines of "whoever says 40/14 says <X>, <sth> 40/14", as far as I can tell.

Spoiler

No, I don't want to use a translator, where's the fun in that?

Only the first season

FIFY

Although I actually found the movie quite tolerable.

Is everything alright with his eyes? Looks like he's blind.

Gotta say, using 3 just feels like giving up due to laziness, even in 1200BC.

Also it's interesting how the Chinese entries basically stop between 1400 and 1949, whereas European names are far more present during this era. Some Japanese ones, too. I wonder how comprehensive this page is.

Tbf, it is "merely" a private prop plane, not a jet (which would be significantly more expensive still). But yeah, not exactly middle class material…

I mean, that technically depends on your perspective. But yes. Very much so.

Hang on, Nintendo fans are into findom? That would explain a few things. On a related note, I think I finally understood why people keep giving Chris Roberts money for Star Citizen.

And yet, translators are losing their jobs left and right, from what I hear. Sure, quality has gone down, but most people don't seem to care. Plus, in a lot of cases, instead of the AI doing all the work, translators proof-read AI generated texts and correct the worst mistakes. Fewer translators can translate more at a lower price this way.

Does the quality still go down a bit that way? Probably. But again, who cares? Not the people spending money on translations, that's for sure.

I can hardly even imagine one that's worse

You're welcome :) Terminator 2 is an incredible action movie, one of the best I've ever seen. This scene alone right at the beginning will forever live rent-free in my mind. So yeah, if you like action movies, both it and Terminator 1 are great to watch.

The twist is that it's a shapeshifting killer robot from the movie Terminator 2, specifically a T-1000 sent back in time to kill the child in question. The biker, on the other hand is an older (non-shapeshifting) killer robot model also sent back in time (to protect the kid from the newer model).
