My grandparent’s desktop computer. I didn’t break the hardware, but i set the default font size in windows 98 to some ludicrously high value. That made it so large the OS became unusable and the dialog to change it back was also unusable. Probably a quick terminal command would have fixed it within a couple seconds but I wasn’t old enough to understand that and my parents weren’t very tech-savvy.
Dried grasshopper does really taste like prawn crackers.
Including comic sans. German website with aesthetic from the previous century, what else is new?
I think 5 or 6. I’d get to experience living in different cultures without having to abandon friends and family in my current location.
The mammoth one is uncanny valley for me.
I laughed a lot reading that series. Lots of profanity, but really fun.
Some suggestions
As a Dutch resident, I seriously disagree here. We are just coming out of a 15 year long neoliberal period that has caused the following:
All these things are having the effect of pushing people IN cars, because the alternative is getting more expensive for reduced service. Heck, road congestion is significantly up from pre-pandemic levels and that’s with the neoliberals investing billions upon billions in new asphalt.
Not Just Bikes is in a bubble, and it’s seriously irritating to have foreigners believe we’re this utopia.
And nearly all of that is usually prefilled correctly to the euro by the Belastingdienst.
Why did this take the IRS so long where other nations have been doing this for decades?
For decades I pronounced albeit like “al-bayt”, instead of “all-be-it”. I only ever saw it in writing, and never hears anyone say it. Meaning made also so much more sense when I finally heard it being said out loud. Eye opener.
The stern warning is iconic tho.
You never talk about what you did in the weekend over the water cooler?
Also: she, not he.
My employer is the same. I was almost fired for attending a (unpaid!) hackathon during a weekend. A colleague was fired for doing volunteer work in weekends.
Yes, I’m looking for a new job.
For the Netherlands: Katwijk, even had a genetic disease named after it.
To be fair, drive-in also exists in Europe and really took a flight during Covid.
So wait, bit-shifting some integers is now considered being malicious? Is that really the defense here? Using that definition just about all software in existence is malicious.
