For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

1H?

[–] cosmo@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago

1-handed (as opposed to 2-handed) which means you can wield two 1H but only one 2H. Usually 2H has the higher damage dice, while 2 1H allows for two attacks in one turn instead (which means either slightly increased base dmg or flexibility of attacking multiple targets) ;)

half

I've never seen "1H" used before for what I'm guessing means Q3. Where's that from?

I'm pushing 40, have a mind like a steel trap for phrases and terms that crop up in pop culture, and have a business degree. I have never heard "H1" or "H2" before, let alone "1H". To me that suggests that it's not a common term in British or American English and instead is common in another language. Kind of like Swedes and numbering the weeks of the year (perhaps the other Scandinavian countries do it too), or the various languages that interpret "half one" as meaning halfway to one (i.e. 1230) rather than half past (1330).

Of course it could just be a bizarre blindspot and it's passed me by but damnit, I'm curious now!

I think it is a central European thing where we used to structure the business year into two halfs - erstes Halbjahr and zweites Halbjahr - in regards to reports etc while the anglosphere has tended to structure it into quarters. And it's still done for things like release dates. But don't quote me on that, as I have no sources.
