Related: 12-hour AM/PM time, at least in written language, is dumb compared to 24-hour time. I don’t want to have to infer from context if 8 is morning or evening. Build that disambiguation into the written time, ffs!

Why did I expect a rickroll there?

I’d say I usually prefer cut. Otherwise its length becomes completely unmanageable. I don’t have all night to watch only a single film, y’know?
AI will not replace software engineers, exhibit fuck knows how many.
I also heard a claim that such patterns can (marginally) discourage graffiti of the seats. And if branding is a thing you care about, they can reflect some parts of that. London S-Stock trains’ seats point to the lines where they run, and there have been Danish trains that straight up feature the old DSB logo in the seat pattern.

A city. Or a small town with city level amenities and reachability. Some place where I don’t need a car for regular and even some irregular errands.
I’m quite pleased with where I am right now, a provincial capital in NL. If I’d have to scale down, Houten looks quite promising. If I’d be forced to scale up and leave the country, the four places that pop to my mind that interest me are Freiburg (DE), Vienna (AT), Helsinki (FI) and Oslo (NO).
I heard there is talk of a projects for the EU to increase its digital sovereignty. Now would be a great time for those projects to come to fruition.
As for me, if this means that there’ll be an EU-wide reboot of Hyves, I’d be thrilled. Extra so if, on the back-end, it works on a Federated system.
If you want the most extensive, expansive, awesome emergent story base building game out there, there’s of course Dwarf Fortress. You can download it right off the devs, where it’s free but takes a PhD to begin to make sense of the UI. Or you can buy it on Steam, where it will cost you a little bit, but thanks to massive UI improvements, it’s actually playable by regular people.
If you want something where you can just unwind & chill, look into the Slime Rancher games.
It ain’t called Cracktorio for nuthin’!

6·5 months agoThis. Comparing them to my national parties (NL), my rough estimate is that the Dems are more right wing than D66, and they’re pretty much centre-right.
Come back to me when your left is on par with GL-PvdA
Orange? Wait until Dutch football fans hear that. Would make NL during a Euro Cup or World Cup an absolutely ✨ fabulous ✨place xD
Use chapstick
How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.
It’s a bit of a running meme between us.
That’s one way to describe the guy, indeed.
Sometimes the Foul Bachelor Frog was (is?) used for gender-agnostic scenarios. Foul Bachelorette Frog is for specifically female things.
Still working on wrapping my mind around that.
That said, I have wrapped my mind around 10-day weeks, which in work division work as follows:
⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️🛋️
Do this 12 times in a year, add a leap day every three months, say to start each season, plus another extra day for new year’s, and another extra according to existing leap year rules.
