The fact north american English-speakers forget that "good morning" and the rest can be closing messages just as much as "good night" makes me sad.

Fun linguistic fact: the Dutch word for "lawyer" is "advocaat" and that word shares the same etymological root as the English "advocate"

Is that not perfect or what?

A digital CAPTCHA verification window titled "Select all squares with PIPES" against a plain white background. The window contains a 3×3 grid of numbered squares, mixing literal hardware, smoking pipes, and programming syntax.

These captchas just keep getting harder #rstats

Not one but two map-related things for my cartophile friends buttondown.com/levisan/arch...

My first thought (watched before reading what you wrote fwiw) is that they're targeting people with a ~$500 Windows laptop or Chromebook but already using an iPhone. Hence the promotion of the Continuity features and such. Something like "you like your phone, now you can afford this too"

So old it's in museum exhibits! Amazing

It amazes me, a person to young to have witnessed the source material, when I see kids who learned about All Your Base because their parents riff on it

Keep posting about it so I can remember to tell the the librarian next time I go in because I keep forgetting!

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Every time I go search for a "meme generator" to generate a "meme" of a certain meme, I hate what I have become.

Two current favourites:

Wat je zegt ben jezelf met je kop door de helft
Literally, what you say is what you are with your head cut in half. Figuratively similar to "it takes one to know one"

доверяй, но проверяй
Romanized: doveryay, no proveryay
Trust, but verify (US President Regan's favourite)

I recently, at work, identified myself as someone who likes foreign idioms that rhyme. I guess I need more of them. What are you favourites?

Not a bad price it it wasn't for shipping!

I think I've figured out why I don't like mixed drinks: they taste too good.

Shots: too small, Beer: perfect

I lived through both the "you won't always have a calculator with you everywhere" and "you can't trust wikipedia because anyone can edit it" eras of schooling, and you'll forgive me for seeing how those turned out and being unimpressed with any new moral panic either

Can't have PEBKAC if you use a standing desk 🥸

Haha I woke up with this question on my mind… how did you know‽

The people who fund/push these renovations aught to focus on the truly ugly ones

If you ever wanted to dive into all the names/titles given for Jesus in the Bible, this is a great podcast ancientfaith.com/podcasts/nam...

What are people’s opinions of tattooed rings these days?

I did very very badly. I guess that means I have to come visit one day.

>15 years later, I think I've just come to the realisation that the actual, honest reason why I quit taking piano lessons was because I hate the idea of a mandatory twice-yearly recital.

I've got one for you! St. Emeric in Edmonton, originally a cultural parish for Hungarians and built in their chosen style.

(Now still bilingual but English and ASL because Fr Pastor is the token deaf priest in the archdiocese)

I have to assume that with Brave built on the same codebase as Chrome, at least some of the Chrome issues also are present in Brave… I keep trying other things but keep going back to Firefox or Waterfox

Here's a wild idea: how about the municipality takes responsibility for keeping the sidewalks that it installs—and maintains in the summer months—for the sake of the people who travel on them instead of guilting the townsfolk into helping people so they don't get fined?

Cut flowers are an interesting gift. Not cheap plus fleeting makes for a relatively high required perceived worth considering the value they provide. What other gifts are like this?
