Good everyone, have a good weekend. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Mar 24, 2017

Amazing, isn't it...it's the weekend already! Have a good one, amiga. :) - rac1, Mar 24, 2017

I think you're missing the word bye between the good and everyone. It's your way of saying I've had enough of SD for now and I'm taking a break this weekend. lol - Sassette, Mar 24, 2017

I should say bye tacked onto good since it's one word. :) - Sassette, Mar 24, 2017

Answer 1

¿Como hará para sacarla por la puerta?.

How will he does to bring it across the door?

Edited. And Corrected What will he do to move it through the door .

I'll change my Spanish version to make it more closer to the English one.

Qué hará para moverla a través de la puerta.

I Would prefer to choose the verb to get more than to move but in this context it has been imposible to me find a word equal in Spanish . I allways have translate to get as conseguir. And in Spanish I would need other assistant verb as conseguir llevarla. Conseguir arrastrarla, conseguir empujarla ...

. Se quejan los angloparlantes del ser y del estar, pues sepan ustedes que yo me quejo del escurridizo to get. But some day I will get it.

I would say “what will he do to get it through the door” or “how will he get it through the door” There are other options as well (“out” for “through”, “get it to go through”, etc.). - bosquederoble, Mar 24, 2017

How will he do to move it through the door ? Would be ok? - 000a35ff, Mar 24, 2017

Graciaa bosque - 000a35ff, Mar 24, 2017

How is he going to move it through the door. How will he move it through the door, what will he do to move it though the door. - bosquederoble, Mar 24, 2017

How does not go with do in that way at least in any way I can think of right now. How plus do sounds like "cómo estás?"= how do you do? - bosquederoble, Mar 24, 2017

How will he be able to get it through the door. How will he be able to move it through the door. How can he move it through the door. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 24, 2017

How will he be able to bring it through the door? - is better Astotxua :) - ian-hill, Mar 24, 2017

What will he do to move (get) it through the door might be the best option to keep do for hacer. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 24, 2017

thanks mates. I'll try to keep it on mind - 000a35ff, Mar 24, 2017

Answer 2

En un intento para resolver tanto el problema de qué hacer con los desechos de poliestireno como el de cómo albergar a la gente sin hogar, los arquitectos están experimentando con nuevos diseños de casas pequeñas.

In an attempt to solve both the problem of what to do with styrofoam waste and that of how to house the homeless, architects are actively experimenting with new designs for tiny houses.

A la gente. Los arquitectos;) - 000a35ff, Mar 24, 2017

Gracias, Astotxua. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 24, 2017

@astotxua Thanks for corrections. I learn from it too. :) - Sassette, Mar 24, 2017

I also learn from what I get right and doesn't need correction. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 25, 2017

I don't know if anyone saw the news that Portland has a new program- if you sign up to house a homeless family in it for five years, they will come build a tiny house on your yard, and it is yours after the five years. - bosquederoble, Mar 25, 2017

Answer 5

This is not really a work of art, but a new 'state of the art' technology, a super-intelligent computer system made from reinforced polycarbonate and designed to look like an art exhibit so as to blend in with its immediate environment! It was created by genius, a computer scientist, profesor John Harvey McDonnell and is specificlly designed to incapacitate (disable) all incendiary devices in the event of an emergency!

En realidad, esta no es una obra de arte, sino una nueva tecnología de vanguardia, un systema de ordenadores superintelligente que es hecho de policarbonato resforzado y diseñado para parecer como un objeto en exposición para camaflajearse en su ambiente inmediato. ¡Fue creado por un genio, un científico en informática, profesor John Harvey McDonnell y es diseñado específicamente para incapacitar todos los artefactos explosivos en caso de una emergencia!

Editor's note/s: This kind of computer-controlled incapacitator (disabler) does not yet exist as far as I am aware! Disclaimer: Any resemblance to any person or object, including materials is completely unintentional!

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Interesting that you mention that because it's my understanding that polystyrene is very flammable...unless there is a way to treat it with flame retardant. - Sassette, Mar 24, 2017

I never said that it was made of polystyrene lol - FELIZ77, Mar 24, 2017

Polystyrene is one of the most dangerous plastics, it causes devastation to all sea life . - ray76, Mar 25, 2017

Ray, when I did a childcare placement in a hospital nursery/creche, the manageress told me that polystyrene was banned from their nursery because if children swallowed it , it would not show up on the X-ray! Yes, definitely dangerous to man and beast! - FELIZ77, Mar 25, 2017

Artist: I'm just following in the footsteps of my great uncle M.C. Escher, but I prefer working in three dimensions.

Answer 9

Ahora sé qué debo hacer con todas mi las cajas de huevos que he acumulado.

Now I know what I should do with all my egg cartons that I have stored up.

Thanks, astotxua, for the correction

I have egg cartons stored up because of Styrofoam's noise reduction properties but it's unlikely I'll be able to cover whole sections of walls with it. - Sassette, Mar 24, 2017

lol @ Sassette what an eggcellent (excellent) idea hahaha - FELIZ77, Mar 24, 2017

las cajas de huevos. cajas de huevo means box made with eggs. and mis cajas de huevos would be ok but sound - 000a35ff, Mar 24, 2017

sounds weird because if you have stored it then they are yours. - 000a35ff, Mar 24, 2017

Thanks, Feliz. I like eggcellent. :) - Sassette, Mar 24, 2017
