- Comment on What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything? 1 week ago:
Sure that is one option. Another one is to just keep them. The Brit chose the latter.

Brand Finance, which bills itself as the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy, estimated that the royals contributed 1.77 billion pounds ($1.95bn) to the UK economy in 2017 through a combination of the Crown Estate’s revenues and indirect benefits for tourism, trade, media and the arts.

Pretty sure the French King isn’t bringing in any revenue anymore.

I’m pretty sure the people calculating the number could distinguish between tourism for castles and the monarachy.

They provide about 1.5 billion pounts of tourism renevenu per year, far outweighing the sovereign grants they recieve from the the government.

So like any other social media.

Breaking Bad. I watched S01 when it came out but then totally forgot about it after that. Didn’t finish it until S05 was out.
- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 1 week ago:
It’s a bit of an oxymoron. A detterence is about discouraging your opponent from doing something, not preventing them. So kind of by definition it can’t be fool proof.

My boss already puts up with me being the only mac user in a managed windows environment, so I’m not gonna rock the boat.

You have 24TB storage in your laptop? How?
- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 2 weeks ago:
Ey, it’s not that bad. I’ve been using it for over a decade, never made an Apple account (so not app store apps) and I never use any of the built-in apps (except for super basic stuff like the calculator or preview).
Still beats windows.
- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 2 weeks ago:
Take any usb-c charger, plug it in and it will charge. We just covered 90% of use cases.
Beyond that:
old phone: slow data transfer.
new phone: faster data transfer but still slower then computer.
So very confusing.

It already is (depending on the country).
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 5 weeks ago:
No it’s not. Plenty of countries that never had any colonies are doing the exact same thing in their local languages.

Oh no. They could have almost broken even if only they had made it in the Lebanese market.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 5 weeks ago:
Learning phonetics markup might be even more annoying than learning extra letters. I always hated those in school.
English does use Türkiye now
That’s news to me. But this is also not an American/English thing. In German Turkey is called “Türkei”, which is also proncounced differently.
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 5 weeks ago:
Why can’t they just allow kids in schools to learn the true names of things no matter how hard they may be to pronounce?
The problem is reading, as some langauges have different letters. For example English doesn’t have a “ü”, so using “Türkiye” in English makes no sense. It it just get’s worse with langauges like Chinese or Japanese, which have completely different writing systems.
