Where I live there are two official languages, the one from the country, Spanish, and the one from the region, Valencian, so you have places and streets named in one and translated into the other and both are valid. Some important places have only one official name in Valencian.
Well there is a huge historical railroad station called Estación del Norte (North Station) that people called it by translating it into Valencian, and now the official name is Estació del Nord.
The thing is that the station was never located on the north of anything in the city, it is called Norte because that’s how it was called the company that built it.
Making the translation official not only increases the confusion about its location for people who doesn’t know the city, but it also hides its history, I know a lot of people living here that don’t know where the name came from and who build it.
I don’t have issues with making official naming in Valencian as long it does not change the name of a person or company.


That’s how it was taught to me.

He even lost his superpowers and without the super strength he couldn’t swing across the city despite having the technology, it taxes the body a lot.


You should separate the art from the artist.
I cannot do it when the artist is using the money to hurt people.
Just give me a moment
Breaking news, popular book series enter public domain as the author was Luigied last night.
Where I live the water is very hard, poor quality (but inside of the allowed limits), and also the pipes in my flat’s building are fucking old, so yes, I only drink from bottled or filtered water.
It might not pose a real risk, but I prefer err on the safe side. Additionally the Brita filter removes the nasty taste that the tap water has here and the kettle doesn’t have lime stains.


My university had groups for the afternoon, so if someone is working on the morning can still go to class.
I joined the afternoon group and it was fantastic, the classes were less crowded, easier to find a parking spot and no traffic jam when returning home.
The downside was that activities (extracurricular courses, sports clubs, etc) were on the afternoon.


I get targeted ads based on IP location… for different regions of my country.


As I said, AI is just an example, and it doesn’t work when they share the same instance as the communities I’m interested in.


I’m noting down the restaurants.
And thanks for the advice.


You’re right, I didn’t noticed the 7 passwords line.


Since the password has to be changed every two months, I would assume that it means no repeating previously used passwords.

Instead, he encouraged Lovatt to press on with teaching Peter English. But there was something getting in the way of the lessons. “Dolphins get sexual urges,” says the vet Andy Williamson, who looked after the animals’ health at Dolphin House. “I’m sure Peter had plenty of thoughts along those lines.”
“Peter liked to be with me,” explains Lovatt. “He would rub himself on my knee, or my foot, or my hand. And at first I would put him downstairs with the girls,” she says. But transporting Peter downstairs proved so disruptive to the lessons that, faced with his frequent arousals, it just seemed easier for Lovatt to relieve his urges herself manually.


Mainly it is convenience of not having to lug a cable and I have a bit of fear of breaking the interior of the usb-c, it feels fragile to me.
I have an iPhone with MagSafe, so I can use it while charging.
Using a charging pad without MagSafe and cannot use the phone while charging can also be a plus for some people, it forces you to not being constantly on the phone.


Since I watch little to none content on my language (Spanish) so I changed the YouTube app language settings for the interface to English.
However sometimes it still fuck the captions, like setting them on German if the video is in English, or on Thai/Hindi/Japanese when is it in Korean.


I had a blog on my RPi and bought a domain on Namecheap. Years later the project died and cancel the renovation of the domain.
Many months after, I self hosted some services and wanted to use the domain again. I tried to purchase it but Namecheap kept it as “security against losing the domain” but to recover it I was asked to pay much more that I paid before when using the service.
Came with another name and bought it from cloudflare instead.
Why an HOA would deny access to the ISP?
I’m not from the states and the HOA stories I’ve read are crazy, but all were about aesthetics and how supposedly hurts neighbourhood value.
Fiber/cable doesn’t go buried hidden from sight? A place that doesn’t have modern internet connectivity doesn’t have its value negatively impacted?
