Good cat thread.
Also, all cats are good. If you have a cat in your life, you are now obligated to pet it an extra time from me.
I thought there was an I Went Off To America To Escape Poverty But Found Only More Poverty And Now I’m Also Homesick category? (Or is that a subset of Ireland Is Pretty?)
Also, if somebody can't board a plane or buy alcohol, that's not really a democratic problem. If they're prevented from voting? That is a fucking problem. Voting isn't supposed to be restricted to people who go on airplanes.
"Vi kalder dem rige svin og beskylder dem for grådighed. Men hvis de flytter ud af landet, hvem skal så betale for den velfærd, vi elsker at kalde gratis?"
Måske de samme som betaler for den i forvejen?

For the record, I'm happy to refer to krauts as krauts, even if they're not American.
I bet you're more *reliable* on trivia than the machine, though. Like, if I ask you the name of, say, the Prince of Sweden, and you don't happen to know, you'll just say you don't know rather than confidently claiming he's called Gösta-Pär (he isn't).
Actually my first computer was a Lambda-8300 followed by a Vic-20
🎵Got my first computer
Bought at a department store
Typed until my fingers bled
It was a Commodore 64🎶
Counterpoint: the window of time in which you can own a Switch 2 is tiny. Even if viewed within the brief blip that's human lifetime, it's a tiny interval.
If you regret your Switch 2 purchase, millipedes will still be available for you to enjoy 10 years from now.
I’ll even settle for having the original Oni updated to run on modern hardware. Let me play it on my Mac again!
Like when they made that show, twenty-some years ago what was it called? Oh yeah, Firefly!
Vi opfandt et spil på den, som vi kaldte "Edderkoppe-Splat" som gik ud på at træde på en edderkop. Vi lavede flere forskellige varianter og iterationer, og jeg har tastet det ind så mange gange, at jeg faktisk tro, jeg ville kunne rekonstruere det i første forsøg, hvis du satte en lambda foran mig.
Den havde ingen farver - alting var i sort/hvid, og hvis den skulle afspille andet lyd end et simpelt "bip", kunne den ikke også vise noget på skærmen samtidig.
Det var ikke ret pålideligt, så vi skrev i stedet omhyggeligt koden ned på ternet papir, og så kunne vi bare taste den ind igen. Det var både hurtigere og mere pålideligt.
Den havde ingen lagerplads, så hvis man ville gemme noget, man havde lavet på den, kunne man tilslutte en kassette-båndoptager og lagre det på et bånd og håbe, at det ville lykkes for den at indlæse det fra båndet, næste gang man tændte.
En af mine to bedste kammerater dengang havde fundet ud af, at man kunne købe den for … 300,-(?) i BILKA i Hundige Centret. Vi boede i Indre By, men det var i 80'erne, hvor ingen så noget odiøst i at to knægte på 12 tog en tur med s-toget til et sted, de aldrig havde været før 45 min væk.
I do like a rhubarb pie.
I feel a little bad about using Apple Music which is pretty dodgy too but still better than Spotify on every parameter.
(Its ability to mirror my music library copied from my cd collection is an important feature for me.)
I once again remind everyone that Spotify isn’t the only, the best or the least expensive music streaming service but I think it’s the one that pays the least per stream to the actual artists.
Provided violence counts as two because it appears twice.
The MacBook Neo would sound very enticing if it had twice as much RAM, a proper chip and were two inches smaller.
Hvis de rigeste synes, at noget tils6er for hårdt for dem, så er det sgu på tide, de lærer at økonomisere med pengene og at sætte tæring efter næring.
Hvis friværdi medregnes i formue, er jeg god for lidt under en million. Hvis vi starter fra 0 i stedet for 25m, så skulle jeg betale ca 200,- pr måned eller hvad der svarer til tre kopper kaffe på Frederiksberg. Det kan jeg nærmest ikke mærke i min økonomi.
Denmark has neither. I doubt there's any strong correlation let alone causality.
Hver gang, jeg hører Socialdemokraterne tale om pension, får jeg lyst til bare at stoppe og gå på pension øjeblikkeligt.
Jeg kan godt forstå, at så mange af politikerne hellere vil finde på måder, at gøre tilværelsen sværere for dem, vi er blevet enige som samfund om, at vi skal tæske på.
Det er ikke sympatisk, men det er jo nemt.
Det er kompliceret, at finde på noget, som faktisk er til gavn for nogen.
My uncle and I got caught by The Queen stealing the royal nuts.
