Do not spill water

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: You won't spill water.

Meaning: Do not separate, do not quarrel.

Origin: In large peasant farms, there was a bull for every herd of cows. He felt like he was in full control of the situation. If, God forbid, there were two bulls in the pasture, a fierce fight would break out between them for "a place in the sun." It was better for the shepherd not to interfere at such moments - if you find yourself between two fires, you won’t be able to collect the bones at all. The only way to separate the fighting turned out to be buckets of water. Having seized the moment, the shepherds doused the grappled from head to hooves. Until the bulls came to their senses, they were in a hurry to part them in different directions. So what does "do not spill water" mean? In the original meaning - a strong connection, a bow, like a fighting bulls. And then they began to say so in relation to male friendship.

Random phraseology:

Tidy up your planet every morning.

Meaning:

Quoted as a reminder of the need for order, cleanliness, as well as harmonious relations with the outside world (jokingly ironic).

Origin:

From the story "The Little Prince" by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944). The words of the Little Prince: "There is such a firm rule ... You got up in the morning, washed yourself, put yourself in order - and immediately put your planet in order."

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 ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Fastest JFET Input Amplifiers 28.02.2010

Texas Instruments Corporation announced the launch of the OPA653 and OPA659 op amps (op amps) with a driven pn junction (JFET), providing a slew rate of Vout up to 2,675 kV/µs - three times faster than the nearest competitor, which improves impulse response.

These op amps combine a broadband voltage feedback amplifier and a high impedance JFET front end. With its wide signal bandwidth (SBR) and low total harmonic distortion, op amps meet the requirements for frequency analysis and fast Fourier transform.
