Where is the meme?

When will be the next elections there?

Here, in a drunk tourist district residents always complain about the noise of the drunk tourists leaving the bars at night. Local government doesn’t want to limit bars too much, because they pay a lot of taxes, but the residents elect the government. So similar back and forth going on, before election they make it a bit more strict for the pubs, but later slowly everything goes back to the previous situation.

In my city you have to apply at the local government if you want to have outdoor seatings, you can request only a given amount of square meters. Then sometimes they even check it, local police measures the area the tables and chairs cover from the sidewalk with a rolling measure tool. Pubs have to pay a fine if they use more space than they were allowed to.

In some other parts of the city car parking spaces are converted to terraces in the summer, and in the winter, when no one wants to seat outside locals can use the same space for parking.

So this can be done a bit more better than all or nothing, I love to have a coffee or beers outside in the summer.

Ncmpcpp is short for NCurses Music Player Client (Plus Plus). Its ui is top notch, its name is super memorable.

It’s strange that a French site misses the accent, as the same character is also present in their language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/É#French

Uh, I haven’t seen this video for 20 years, almost forgot it.

Yes, and it’s stupid, because a basic bot could master this type of test, as it requires only very basic object recognition. This is just an annoyance

It’s Fractal, a matrix client, not a webview: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal

In the core2duo era I overclocked a cpu to 2.4GHz, and It killed the wifi in the computer similarly, it took a while to figure out why it was happening, and connect the 2 seemingly unrelated thing.

Microwave ovens also work in the 2.4 GHz range, at one flat my torrents basically stopped when my neighbor used their oven.

Tanks and jets also pose some amount of obstacle, and they may have a better roi.

Until the Helsinki Talllin tunnel is built it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

It doesn’t matter much, changing bogies is a relatively quick and easy task, they could use that money better for other defense development.

The Russian military recognized as early as 1841 that operations to disrupt railway track did not depend on the gauge, and should instead focus on destroying bridges and tunnels

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_ft_and_1520_mm_gauge_railways

Actually Russian gauge is not 1524mm, but 1520mm! Finland has unique gauge not used anywhere else in the World, although that 4mm difference allows most bogies to be compatible with both of them, international trains can run through the border without bogie exchange.

So the point of the article is right, butnot perfect in details. I love trains.

I write in English because most of you can read only that. We can continue the conversation in Hungarian if you would like that better. I also know basic German, and I learned a bit of Latin, Italian and Russian in school, you can choose from that if you have some problem with my English spelling.

What if he just asked something so unhinged or stupid the pope couldn’t bare bear it anymore.

Well, if Mr. F. Sense would buy some shares we would consider his wishes

An american court ruled about the Hippos in Columbia, so it 's just theoretical:

“The ruling has no impact in Colombia because they only have an impact within their own territories. It will be the Colombian authorities who decide what to do with the hippos and not the American ones,” said Camilo Burbano Cifuentes, a criminal law professor at the Universidad Externado de Colombia.

There are 170 hippos in Columbia, they are all descendants of the 4 animals Escobar brought there in the 1970s. Their number will reach 1000 in 2035 if they can’t find a solution. They are trying to sterilize them, and transporting them to mexico and india, more info about current efforts on wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamuses_in_Colombia

Me too, but later I learned a bit of german and latin. The thing is you can fake english easily, like “why use lot word when few do trick” is a totally understandable sentence. Word order is not as stict as in german, no cases, no grammatical genders, verb tenses are mostly optional. Pronunciation is messed up though.

English is a global lingua franca, not just european. And it’s not just because of the american and british influence, but because it’s a relatively easy language.

Also the translator programs are better and better, this is actually a good and fitting usecase of current LLMs. I think we are not far away from the babel fish.
