And don’t need heating and lighting

It’s 30%, btw

and the problem is, that, as a developer, you can’t just go and release your stuff on gog

we had expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States

I don’t understand. that’s exactly what they got

“Is my brain a hoe?”

Ctrl A is easier to reach than the home key

tbf, teaching a lion how a condom works is quite tedious

In theory, absolutely. Sadly, not always followed

I’m using an old broken netbook to prop open my living room window

Not really true. At least in Germany, the health workers are also extremely overworked. From nurses to surgeons. It’s a big problem

sure.

You can attach an external display. Or turn it into a small home server

“listen here you little shit”

Sure, but if people are explicitly asking for vegan cookbooks, I don’t think they’d enjoy having a bunch of the recipes feature meat and even more some form of dairy

At least you’d want recipes that have known working vegan substitutes, so you don’t have to experiment yourself. You very often can’t just randomly substitute ingredients 1:1 and expect a good result

are you sure? From what I know about the cuisines there they do use a lot of dairy and a fair bit of meat.

I could be wrong, though

Change it to “no valid submarine registration”

DO NOT ANSWER

I can top that.

I queued for steam. the software. over night.

Back in 2003 when steam launched, hosting was still a bit tricky, and serving software to a ton of people at once, was not as easy as it is today.

When steam launched, you could download just the steam client like today, and install stuff via steam. But it was very slow and buggy as hell

So a couple days after launch, they started to release steam bundled with CS 1.6, so you didn’t need to install it via steam.

But that was of course a much bigger download. And a TON of people wanted it.

So they published it via a download service that integrated a queue, so they could still provide some reasonable bandwith to the people downloading.

I remember that I joined the queue in the evening before bed, let the family computer run over night, started the download before school, and the download was roughly finished when I came back home.

as a webdev: this is (mostly) not really chrome’s fault.

It’s the fault of devs not testing or not getting enough time to get something run on more than just chrome.

For too long the web standards were “eh, it’s stable enough. works on one browser, works on all”. But that only holds true for the basic feature set. When you start using features that are not super common, the browser implementations start to diverge slightly. And that needs to be tested for. But often isn’t

Alright. I looked it up some more. There’s not a lot of information about it out there, tbh.

Germans did coin the term “Schnorchel” for the air pipe in WW2 submarines (although they did not invent it). Which then later was used to refer to the diving equipment.

It’s derived from “Schnorgel” or “Schnörgel”, which is an old northern german slang/word for mouth or snout

What is interesting, as far as I can see, “Schnarchen” isn’t even super related to the same root as Schnörgel? And the real origin doesn’t seem to be really clear and is being discussed. It seems to be more related to schnarren, which is “making a repetitive rattling sound”

Yeah, pretty much what I expected. Related, but not really descended
