Equally divided in to those that don’t give a fuck, and those that couldn’t give a fuck.

Found my spirit animal.

Shrimp are way too labour intensive to enjoy.

It’s that… Thing… Where if you know stuff, you realise how much stuff you don’t know. And if you don’t know, you don’t know you don’t know.

So because they know English a bit, but it’s not as much as their primary language, they realise how much they don’t know.

Whereas people who only know English don’t know how bad they is at it.

FYI I only know English, but I’m pretty great at it.

I think it’s “tipphoffzetongue”

“Ach du lieber! Das ist not eine boobie!”

If you say so! Place was the same from coast to coast from our outsiders perspective.

let’s not forget that America is a big, diverse country

We just did a 5 week trip in the US which was LA, drive to Vegas, fly to NYC, then drive 5000k to the middle of Texas, and man… I keep hearing about all this diversity but that joint is the same all over. Having some mountains in the background instead of a desert, and having a majority RAM 2500s instead of majority Teslas is not the “diversity” I’d been led to believe existed. It’s all just chain stores, tipping, and bad coffee anywhere you go.

Ah, aren’t I an idiot… I was racking my brain trying to work out what an S.D. was, and what OP was calling the delivery driver one of them.

Since you mentioned Thunderbird, I assume you are on a very cheap ISP or self host mail system with poor filtering.

Crikey, that’s one heck of an assumption. Based on that comment, I’m going to assume you use an iPhone. Since we’re doing that.

I feel like there’s an opportunity to combine these things.

I found it many years ago. 15-20ish? I have no idea where I found it, but I’ve not seen it used anywhere else so I kind of just keep using it.

Don’t really know what I bother since I use a client that doesn’t display profile pictures anyway.

My other avatar I use gets me banned on most forums because apparently a clip from “nuts in the ass” is not suitable for public display anymore. It’s political correctness gone mad tbh.

Because I don’t want people seeing my terrible code

Are you copying and pasting the same reply as someone else? I swear I keep seeing this exact reply on anything to do with Israel / Palestine, but it doesn’t show up in your post history (as far back as I could be bothered going anyway).

How does it make more sense??? They’re both just numbers in a scale, but at least one had a useful couple of data points.

Someone looking for particularly spicy memes

We’re travelling in the US at the moment, and as an Australian this habit of posting prices that aren’t actually the price really grinds my gears.

In Australia, the listed price is the price you’ll pay. The only exception is if they specify that it excludes GST, in which case the total price will be 10% higher.

In the US, the listed price is the starting price. Then you’ll have a city tax, a state tax, a federal tax, a congestion fee, a service fee, a minimum gratuity, and then of course the optional (but not really) additional tip on top with a suggested minimum of 25%.

It’s making buying things a really sour experience. Just yesterday I bought some clothing that came in a little under $250 and I had $300 cash on me. Easy, that’ll cover it. Nope… ended up having to bust out the card because the total was closer to $320 once all the fees and taxes got thrown on top.

Totally agree. Having recently done 13 hours in economy, the fact my knees are constantly wedged against something and I can’t straighten out is the biggest discomfort. I don’t speak Italian so I don’t need acres of room to swing my arms around, lift the person in front up and give me leg room instead!

Add it to our list of embarrassingly backwards decisions as a country.

Once upon a time, Swype / FlexT9 / whatever other names it’s had on Android used to have an option to bring up a virtual D pad in the keyboard area. It was really easy to swap to as well, and being able to flip over to a functional set of arrow keys (as well as select, copy, paste, etc) made text editing so much easier.

Like all things I used to enjoy about Android, it got removed in the name of copying Apples simplicity.

We set the AC for 18°C heating in winter, and 23° cooling in summer. I’m happy in 18-23 temperatures, doesn’t need to be the same temp year around.

18 when it’s 10ish outside feels nice and toasty, and be 23 when it’s 35ish outside feels nice and cool.
