- Comment on Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the `Accept-Language` HTTP header? 1 week ago:
I’m in England and my language is set to English, yet for some reason when I was browsing AliExpress a few weeks ago it was stuck in German and I couldn’t see how to change it. Go to the homepage - German. Click on a result from a search engine - German.
I don’t know where it got that from, it wasn’t the IP either as from a computer on the same address it was fine.

I’ve not been to Bucharest airport so I don’t know how big it is or how it is laid out. However, usually you will go to check-in and baggage drop for Lufthansa - they will have an area which is labelled up, you might need to walk around a bit but the check-in areas should all be next to each other - and they will give you a boarding pass. You then need to follow the signs to the gates. That will take you through security and usually to an area with duty-free shopping. You’ll see some boards there which will tell you which gate you need (look for your destination and the flight time or number). Sometimes they don’t announce it until the last minute. You’ll then need to follow the signs to that gate, it can be a bit of a trek if it’s a big airport (allow plenty of time to get there). When you are at the gate, wait until they call you for boarding. If it’s a big plane you’ll walk down a tunnel directly onto it, otherwise you’ll be sent outside and have to climb up the steps.
Airports can be a bit daunting but they tend to be very well signposted and lots of staff around to ask if you get lost.
Enjoy your trip!

- Comment on Drivers to be able to pay for parking using just ONE app under new Government plans 4 weeks ago:
The platform will work for all motorists, not just car users, and you’ll be able to use it both private AND council-run car parks – provided operators sign up to it.
Hmm.

For the record, that’s exactly what I used to do as a child. It’s only recently-ish that I’ve started eating them upside-down - and that’s mainly to stop getting chocolatey fingers.

Guessing it’s the sales tax? Most countries will price things with tax included, not add it on afterwards.

Wixams station has been on the cards since that was developed, and it’s only recently got the go ahead. That argument has been raging for a long time.
Universal is rather newer.
- Comment on Universal theme park for Bedfordshire confirmed by Starmer 2 months ago:
Only since the end of 2023.

Yes, it’s being bulldozed to make way for it.

- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 months ago:
Her advice to anyone planning to travel to the US is simply not to go. “First, because of the danger of what could happen to you. And, secondly, do you really want to give your money to this country right now?”

If you have a grill directly above the oven, put them in there whilst the oven is on. They’ll warm up nicely.
- Comment on Why Titles Are Written Like This? 2 months ago:
Yeah, little words aren’t supposed to be capitalised, but I’m never quite sure which ones to leave off so usually I just capitalise everything.

- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 3 months ago:
Greek, Roman, Norse gods had a mix of male and female, although I think “head god” was still male.
In Hindu there is also a mix, although I’m not sure if they are all equal or one is in charge.
Shinto has animal gods (I’m again unsure if there is a particular “head god” or whether they are male or female, but at least it probably isn’t “a man”).
