Knife game

The knife game, pinfinger, nerve, bishop, knife fingies, five finger fillet (FFF), or chicken is a game wherein, placing the palm of one's hand down on a table with fingers apart, using a knife (such as a pocket or pen knife), or other sharp object, one attempt to stab back and forth between one's fingers, trying not to hit one's fingers. The game is intentionally dangerous, exposing players to the risk of injury and scarring, and, before antibiotics, an incision or penetration risked sepsis and death. A foldable blade carries the additional danger that, "as the faster you go, the more likely the blade will fold back in on itself trapping the finger of your stabbing hand." It may be played much more safely by using another object, such as the eraser side of a pencil or a marker with its cap on. In European culture it is traditionally considered a boys' game. However, its focus on motor coordination and dexterity is comparable to...

A user error is an error made by the human user of a complex system, usually a computer system, in interacting with it. Although the term is sometimes used by human–computer interaction practitioners, the more formal term human error is used in the context of human reliability. Related terms such as PEBMAC ("problem exists between monitor and chair"), PEBKAC ("problem exists between keyboard and chair"), identity error or ID-10T/1D-10T error ("idiot error"), PICNIC ("problem in chair, not in computer"), IBM error ("idiot behind machine error"), skill issue ("lack of skill"), and other similar phrases are also used as slang in technical circles with derogatory meaning. This usage implies a lack of computer savviness, asserting that problems arising when using a device are the fault of the user. Critics of the term argue that the problems are caused instead by poor product designs that fail to...

Haushund

Der Haushund (Canis lupus familiaris) ist ein Haustier und wird als Heim- und Nutztier gehalten. Seine wilde Stammform ist der Wolf, dem er als Unterart zugeordnet wird. Wann die Domestizierung stattfand, ist umstritten; wissenschaftliche Schätzungen variieren zwischen etwa 15.000 v. Chr. und 100.000 Jahren. Im engeren Sinn bezeichnet man als Haushund die Hunde, die überwiegend im Haus gehalten werden, und kennzeichnet damit also eine Haltungsform. Historisch wurde ein Hund, der zur Bewachung des Hauses gehalten wird, als Haushund bezeichnet. Eine weitere Verwendung des Begriffs ist die Einschränkung auf sozialisierte (Haus-)Hunde, also Hunde, die an das Zusammenleben mit Menschen in der menschlichen Gesellschaft gewöhnt und an dieses angepasst sind. Damit wird der Haushund abgegrenzt gegen wild lebende, verwilderte oder streunende Hunde, die zwar auch domestiziert, aber nicht sozialisiert sind.Der Dingo ist ebenfalls ein Haushund, wird jedoch provisorisch…
