As a non native speaker, it really irks me when people mix up “brake” and “breake”, specially among car enthusiasts.

And these platforms will simply follow the money

This, remember that every single pride sponsorship and rainbow coloured logo was approved by a marketing department after extensive market research deeming it to be profitable

I was takings out the rubbish and I saw a girl trying to parallel park, a man walking his dog decided to help her and he couldn’t. Felt worse for the Samaritan than the person in need

I think the narration was great, the children just appear at the very beginning of the book

Used to live in an earthquake zone right in front of the ocean, so tsunamis were always a risk.

So I kept a bug off bag with water, clothes, blanket, cereal bars, lights and a battery pack ready to go by my bike.

I did use it once and skipped all over the traffic going to the shelter. Fortunately the water didn’t rise enough to be a threat, but I thanks to the peace of mind the bag brought, I didn’t even stress during the evacuation

I also paid for WinRAR, as a gag present for a friend who’s an Apple fanboy who never used Windows.

As a non American who has never been to the US, but grew up well within its sphere of cultural influence.

I thought that about half of the population was black, maybe 40% minimum. I was surprised to learn that it was just above 10% in reality.

they still own the twitter trademark, that might be their biggest asset

it does, or at least older versions of Android did

I tried then first N characters of my password until I found out the threshold was at 8, then I tried with the first 8 chartacters of my password and then random junk and it worked.

I also had two friends in the same bank to validate

a previous bank used to have a max password length of 8 characters, then proudly announced that they will increase it to 32

Then I made a typo at the end of my password and it let me in anyway, and I realised they were just trimming the first 8 characters to give the illusion of security

I watched Event Horizon when I was 10 not knowing it was an horror movie and I had recurring nightmares for weeks

I absolutely agree with you. My former flatmate didn’t like to use the dishwasher because according to her, it wouldn’t clean the dishes properly. Yet she would load the dishwasher by stacking the plates horizontally… as you would store them in a cupboard

no no no, that was just Apple being brave /s

Not a younger person, but last concert I attended, the artist was selling bandcamp codes for their albums (I got two for €5 each). On top of that CDs and vinyls, each would include a bandcamp code too, so I assume people without CD players or turntables can get the physical item and still enjoy the music digitally

I managed to pass this as a kid and a friend invited me to his house so I could pass it for him. That was my peak and my life has gone downhill ever since.

Once I had a mission critical service crash because the disk got full, turns out there was a typo on the logrotate config and as a result the logs were not being cleaned up at all.

edit: I should add that I used the commands shared in this post to free up space and bring the service back up

That’s exactly the point I don’t get. Every single mouse I owned, I’ve replaced it because something physically broke. My previous mouse (Logi btw) was replaced because the scroll wheel and middle click stopped working, no software or firmware update would amend that!

everyday I’m thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It’s the only thing stopping him

corrected, thanks
