I still get flashbacks…

Oh not this again…

If the permalink doesn’t work, it’s the 5th engagement bait thread on the same bullshit. Looks automated too.

The one that springs to mind is the German bekommen v the English to become.

They are basically the same word and at one point might’ve meant the same. Now there is no common meaning.

It’s the 1-person LAN party!

So… species which haven’t invented television (all others) are by this definition “smarter” than that which did (us), because they don’t suffer a downside of the technology?

Reminds me of a drunken conversation with a pubby about how he thought birds and fish were “smarter” than us, because they had to navigate in 3D instead of on a plane. At least that guy had half a point…

There’s a plot point about this in the Expanse. The series only mentions it shortly in that season where they had to cut half the stuff (though maybe not that).

Cool that we can achieve radiosynthesis without sci-fi magic. A pity Chernobyl had to happen for this discovery.

Maybe it’s wearing them, at all, when going out.

90% of everything I read/write is either plaintext, explicit .md, or some .md-adjacent proprietary markup language (Atlassian, BBcode,…)

Fluently? Hungarian, English, German, Romanian, and French, in that order.

I like to joke that Equilibrium had more member changes than the contestant field of a casting show.

The main point of making a project open source is the possibility of third-party contribution.

Ok to points 1. and 2.

But where is this Shangri La you speak of?

Finnish rap slaps. Here’s a classic: youtu.be/DsfSLemDYQg

According to an eyewitness, someone held a champagne bottle with a burning Roman candle in it too close to the ceiling (iirc she was already high up on someone’s shoulders), causing a quick deflagration through the wooden structure.

Here’s an article with a picture showing the sparks igniting what seems to be very shoddily installed, uncovered isolation foam.

Ah, now I see it… Yea, your edit might have lagged in federation.

ITT: people judging the vote and the voters by the magnanimous title alone.

The initiatives were worded and implemented so poorly, that it wouldn’t surprise me if the initiants wanted to lose both these votes.

1. The inheritance tax would have caused mass nationalisations and it had pegged the tax proceeds to go towards climate goals instead of let’s say the federal pension fund deficit (AHV-Loch). It would be incorrect to state that the voters don’t support an inheritance tax or climate goals based on this vote.
2. The “service citoyen” proposal would have made some kind of civil or military service mandatory for all, but would have essentially reduced the military to a volunteer force, which would be socially unacceptable. The Swiss have a historically repeatedly confirmed will to keep a citizen’s militia as the country’s only security force.
