Not salty slurping

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Not salty slurping.

Meaning: Having been deceived in their expectations, not having achieved what they wanted, having met a bad reception.

Origin: The expression "unsalted slurping" is due to the fact that salt in Russia was an expensive and hard-to-find product. “Sipping with salt” was considered to be about the same sign of wealth as “sweet eating” is today. The owner always salted the food: the one whom he loved and respected - more, and sometimes the humble visitor did not get salt at all.

Random phraseology:

Open secret.

Meaning:

A secret that everyone knows, an imaginary secret.

Origin:

Polichinelle (French Polichinelle, from Italian Pulcinella - Pulcinella) is a character in the French folk theater, a hunchback, a cheerful bully and a mocker. The open secret reported things known to everyone in secret. It appeared on the stage of the fair theater at the end of the XNUMXth century. In the XNUMXth century, Molière introduced him to the comedy The Imaginary Sick.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Tiny electric car Rimono 25.05.2016

The Japanese company Rimono has demonstrated a prototype of an unusual mini-car with an electric power plant, designed for operation in urban environments.

The compact electric car has dimensions of only 2200 x 1000 x 1300 mm. It can carry two adults who sit down one behind the other. If necessary, two child seats can be placed in the rear.

In its current form, the main body elements are covered with a durable waterproof fabric, which is usually used in the manufacture of various canopies. The machine weighs 320 kg. In the final version, the developers intend to endow their offspring with a body made of special lightweight plastic, which will reduce the weight to 200 kg.

The car uses an electric motor with a power of 5 kW. The maximum speed is planned to be limited to 45 km / h, which will reduce the requirements for drivers: persons allowed to ride a moped will be able to drive a city car.

On one charge of the battery pack, the car will be able to cover a distance of up to 50 km, which will be quite enough for trips around the city. Batteries can be easily replaced, which will save time on recharging. It is planned to bring the car to the market in the summer of 2017.
