I have a an automatic $2/mo donation to Wikipedia set up. Of all of the sites I’m more than willing to support with hard currency, it’s the one.

$2 isn’t much, but if we all do it, it’ll keep the best online resource for general information we have on the planet operating. Very worth it.

The labor class finally going to fight in the class war they’re losing.

Socialism is the long term solution, but you don’t get that without first dethroning the wealthy one way or the other.

Not Romania and Chad?

Maybe Ireland and Ivory Coast?

… And then there’s Hawaii.

COO. Cow in Scots.

Been there. Multiple times.

Panicked at the wrong moment.

These stupid vehicles and ones that are noisy for the sake of being noisy have one root element: attention. They’re designed to force you to pay attention to the owner. Admittedly it’s for negative attention, but still it’s a cry for help.

Too many people grow up where the only attention they can get is negative. Since humans crave any attention, they’ll seek it any way they know how. We’d rather get positive attention, but if you don’t have a source or tools to get it you’ll go negative in desperation.

I hate that these vehicles are designed to hurt people and they’re often on the road because the owner doesn’t know how to get attention any other way.

If he buys a longer truck, then maybe his dad will hug him just once.

Why does he keep coming back?

It only happened in the last year, or even the last six months to truly be in effect. It was a huge position shift for the German government as part of their effort to increase skilled worker immigration and retention.

Even a toga is an option. It’s not “normal” most places, but if you wear reasonably covering clothing and get your work done anyone worth working for won’t really care.

One to change it and seven to file the paperwork.

When we had flagpoles we had a pile of flags to fly. I’d get most of them on AliExpress for cheap.

Universities, states, cities, vikings, pirates, scifi, pride, peace, extinction rebellion, etc. I love flying something for larks more than anything else. Fly what you feel, it’s your flagpole.

Vertical spinning wheels to pick the hours suck donkey balls. WTF is up with those? You want to set it to 9 pm, so we get to spin the hour wheel up and down until we hit 9, then it always defaults to the current minute, so you get to spin it up and up and up and up until you get to 00 minutes, overshoot to 05, and then dial it back down.

There’s WAY better solutions for this available. Why use the ones invented 25 years ago?

I just pulled out a spare laptop to try some new distros to help advise someone about their options. I installed a few and gauged how easy/simple it would be for each one in regards to their needs.

It wasn’t distro hopping in that I wasn’t really using them beyond testing, but it was checking out options, settings, and tools. In the end, they’ll have to decide on what works best for them.

Given that there’s no proof he exists and (if you’re a Bible person) he claimed he’d be back before the original followers in 0 CE would die, he’s well behind on his own schedule. He’s about as fast as California High Speed Rail or any small construction project in Germany.

Once Cali HSR is finished, your “Lord” would consider taking it to SF for some R&R.

Cocktails. Just need some bottles.

I agree with jay: unless you’re already an EU citizen, you’ll need to look at the visas and immigration rules for each of the countries more than just which languages to focus on.

I don’t know a lot about their immigration rules or LGBTQ+ situations. I moved to Germany because of the work visa options I had at the time.

Berlin is such a melting pot. “Whatever, just wash your hands and recycle that trash properly.”

Mülltrennung (waste separation) is a big deal in Germany.
