Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb

Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess…

I loved the books and found the netflix series to be a pretty enjoyable westernization of them.

There were a few changes/choices that were a bit strange or missed the point, but overall it’s worth watching

When they say something like “60 days battery life” what they mean is using the device for half an hour everyday for 60 days.

OP is arguing that it would make more sense to just say the continuous use battery life, which in the above example would be 30 hours (60 × 0.5)

That’s true for the US but not everywhere else

As a fan of both tofu and basically anything fermented…this sounds great!

Alive and well in Bosnia!

Yeah, this bit is unfortunate but understandable

I haven’t but it sounds like a winning combination

Everyone here saying how awful this sounds, and I’m just sitting here excited to try a new food. I ate mealworms before and they were pretty good, so why not?

It’s certainly not what I’m used to but it’s definitely less weird than some common foods we typically eat like cheese (which I fucking love, but if you think about it its weird as shit!)

Ah yeah I see!

I was just thinking of trying to do it without erasing anyone’s game or making them start over.

Doesn’t the original only have a single save slot?

So you’d need at least a third copy for both of you to get all three.

Welcome to the UK where the same rental would be twice the price without any security or rights to your place.

Renting is fucked basically everywhere, but in Germany it’s less fucked than most places, if you can believe it.

I Moved from Germany to the UK a little over a year ago.

The UK (at least London) is soooooooo much worse as far as renting goes. I rented a few places in Germany in a couple different cities and every place had some annoyances, but I just wasn’t prepared for what a free-for-all shitshow it is in the UK.

Literally hundreds of people coming to viewings for a single place. Landlords can basically raise rents whenever they feel like it and force you out. The places are generally absolutely terrible quality with very little incentive to improve things. I had places trying to force 3+ year contracts with no break clause. I’ve never experienced so many colleagues constantly having issues with “the landlord raising rents by 30% and when we refused or tried to negotiate we got forced out”. Then you have to scramble to find a place in a month.

They price everything based on number of bedrooms rather than size, so landlords are incentivized to subdivide flats into multiple units and minimise space. A 4-bed flat-share with no living room? Fairly standard, even for working professionals.

Plus, after you pay the extortionate rents the TENANT pays the taxes (council tax).

I encountered issues in Germany with renting (particularly when I first moved there) but the German situation would be a HUGE improvement for most of the UK

Yeah, I kind of intentionally avoided saying AFPS because unfortunately these days that tends to mean (like with diabotical) games which are desperate to be the most hypercompetitive aspects of quake. Duels or FFA aren’t really my thing, give me teams and objectives!

Perhaps unsurprisingly UT2k4 is one of my favorite of all time

Valorant I can’t speak to, since I can’t play it on Linux.

CS I’ve played a lot of and it’s fantastic just a bit too slow paced/tactical for me. Your right though that it’s a fantastically designed game and a really good shout.

Overwatch I strongly disagree with. The maps have clean lines, but with the character design, abilities, and UI they clearly prioritise being flashy over anything else. It’s really visually loud for the sake of it and too much for me.

I’d like multiplayer shooters that put emphasis on clean visuals designed to transmit information as well as more emphasis on movement.

Even with all the hats, visibility in TF2 is a masterpiece compared to 90% of games. One team always bright red, one team is always bright blue. The maps aren’t full of noisy scenery and still look great.

Thing is, those who are against immigration are much more motivated. This is generally how politics goes, that a motivated minority can eventually get their way against a less-interested majority. As great as it is, that was largely what happened in the other direction with issues such as gay marriage.

For those who are anti-immigration this is often the only topic they care about, or they care much more about this than anything else. On the other hand, those who are pro-immigration are largely either mildly-favorable towards it or they care much more about other issues.

Personally I think that left-leaning parties in Europe basically have two options currently:

-Fight against anti-immigration stances and then lose power.

-Focus on other topics while getting tougher on immigration.

It might not be the smartest move to be anti-immigration, but unfortunately in a democracy feelings are usually more important than facts and one of the biggest issues with the left is not being able to accept that.----

For me it’s less about bandwidth and more about not having to worry about building/ maintaining ratio. It’s just one less thing to think about.

I love seeding so I thought private trackers would be for me, but it’s so hard to go positive when EVERYONE is trying to. Yeah, there is freeleach but then I was downloading a bunch of stuff that I didn’t want, just for the sake of it.
