Yeah in Holland the average work week is less than 30 hours.

Sorry what’s the g-word?

I used this movie as the basis for at least three school assignments in high school. Brilliant.

By the way, my tinfoil hat uses Arch Linux.

EDIT: now I see that I’ve just repeated the same joke that someone already made better in a different post. Leaving my post up for posterity so I remember my shame.

If you watch The Brainwashing of My Dad, this is basically what worked. The documentary maker’s parents moved to a new house and they deliberately didn’t connect Fox News, and then blocked a few web sites. A short while later their dad was back to being a jovial, friendly person again.

.TV is not new. It is a country-code TLD (ccTLD) and has been around since the 20th century.

I was on vacation in the USA recently, and the existence of pharmaceutical advertisements was shocking. The amount of them was even more shocking!

I think that ISO 8601 is available for free. But agreed that the RFC version is superior.

Are you saying this is what you would change?

Because there were definitely civilizations without currency.

Why would that matter?

Hold it… proof of gym attendance or gym membership?

Because I thought standard practice was to pay for the gym but not go, whether out of your own pocket or on the company… 😏

Yes, and in the video Australia says, “WTF, mate?”

WTF, mate?

My parents are American and I spent almost half of my life in the USA. Like you I have also traveled around the world. Possibly my view is skewed because I’m currently traveling around the Gulf states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) on vacation and they are super poor, but to claim that the US is better than almost anywhere in Europe is crazy to me. Japan and South Korea and New Zealand also seemed nicer. Heck, you only have to cross the border to Canada to get to a place more more rational. Every place has problems, and not every place is great for every person, but the US is far down on the list of places that I would want to live ever again.

I’m not sure since I haven’t really used Windows for 20 years or so. I don’t think though, since there are separate CURSES libraries for Windows which don’t operate using escape sequences.

It’s a good idea, although some terminals will pause output when they play the sound. I always disable any sound from my terminal anyway, because computers should be seen and not heard. 😆

For some reason I remember a lot of ANSI terminal escape codes. They were used all the time on DOS machines, and work in a similar way on Unix terminals.

According to this page there is no quarantine in Finland, you just have to wait a specified time after vaccinating your cats:

I’ve only been to Helsinki, and only in the summer. It was lovely but I couldn’t really say if it makes sense to live there. My wife’s best friend is Finnish and is a bit mad, like every other Finn that I’ve ever met. So… good luck!

Dutch does that but there are limits. Four, five, six words smashed together?! Doe normaal! Germans… always going a bit too far… 😉
