  In my country its usually required for new builds to have 2 methods of heating. People usually have gas or heat pumps as primary but almost all of them puts a fireplace as well in the house, so chimneys here are very common.

  I also have a fireplace additional to a heat pump, but I would only use it if there was a power outage for multiple days during winter.

  So yeah, fireplaces are mainly for the vibes :)

  I don’t know what restaurants you go to, but during my adult life not once “water please” failed to get me a glass of water.

  Sometimes the waiter asks if bottled or tap, but thats about it.

  Agree, the internet is full of useless AI trash “informatio” and “articles”. Its more and more difficult to find accurat information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cry cry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its just sad that people who know how internet search works for the sake of comfort let someone else decide what they see when searching for stuff.

  Stupid people and internet illiterate people exist since the dawn of the internet. Thats not news.

  Whats scary is how a new generation of people will lose or not develop basic critical thinking and research skills, and let an algorithm serve up content to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cry cry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Many people I know are also using LLMs for searching stuff.

  Its just baffling how they can trust a single answer frankensteind together from often unknown sources served up in a confident style.

  Jeez we are fucked, aren’t we?

  Bought one when moved to a different country and had to pack a lots of big boxes.

  Its great time saver, only downside is how god awful loud they can be.

  Sorry bad phrasing, by most I meant a lot of americans. Thanks for correcting me :)

  I am somewhat familiar with the type of gun owners from US media and movies.

  For me the most mind-blowing thing is how easy is to get a gun at some places. I just imagine some shady people I know in my country, even some of my family members and can’t imagine them having access to guns :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon breaks up⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this just a vicious cycle? You own a gun, because other people also have access to guns. The burglar might bring a gun, because the home owner possibly has a gun, etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon breaks up⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny to read the comments. I don’t want to judge anyone as Im not american and I grew up without even touching a real gun.

  Its just amazing how big role guns play in US culture. I can’t imagine owning one, but most americans can’t live without them. Its very bizarre.

  Wow, Im glad Unbound had such poor reviews I never bothered to buy it.

  Love the game, but hate the soundtrack with passion. Its full of mumble rap, auto-tune and weird electronic shit. (apologies if someone likes it). I just couldt listen to it for more than 10 min.

  Two Worlds 1-2 There are tons of youtubers making joke videos about these games, but against all the jank I alway found them both enjoyable and even I dare say good games. The magic system in particular was amazing.

  Heard the manual vs automatic argument million times. I learned to drive using manual, my first few cars were all manuals and this is all I knew for a long time.

  When we bought our first car together with my wife we got an automatic. She is a less confident driver, and wanted an automatic car. I dont mind it at all, got used to it and now I don’t miss manual at all. She is a much safer driver, under stress or in a sticky situation the manual transmission is a an extra thing to worry about and I feel calmer knowing that she can fully concentrate on the road instead of shifting.

  I think manual is great for experienced drivers, but automatic is so much safer for beginners and people like my wife.

  A friend of mine had a similar issue. Also UK, West London a guy was blasting his car stereo every night in front of his garage, often till 8-9 pm, in some cases during the night while having some weird people over. It was very loud, walls vibrating, etc

  Various neighbours called the police on him at least 5 times but nothing happened, he turned off the music for a while, ignored the cops and turned it back on after they left.

  They told them they need hard proof to do anything, this would involve getting a regular recording of the music and they should measure the decibels and vibrations to prove how disturbing it is to start anything. It was just the most bizarre way of telling people the local council and police will do nothing. Who the fuck has this kind of equipment and knowledge to do this?

  Needless to say nothing happened. My friend moved to another place because of work within 6 months.

  I do hope in your case the local law enforcement will be more competent, I wish I could give you an actual advice instead of a story :(

  Airlines store their airplanes on airports most of the time when not in the air. Airports charge them a huge amount of money for this. Even if if there is a few minutes delay, they get big fines for occupying a gate.

  Imagine having extra planes on standby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes a modern game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The below comic existed before the game even was announced. Some people just looked at the leaked pics and decided to start hating the remaster.

  Everyone has a right to like/dislike things but this is just pure dishonest depiction of the game to fuel the hate circle jerk.

  if only MK, Fortnite and CoD would be the only three options for gamers then probably MK would win this round.

  Unfortunately you comparing your favourite game to two vomit piles full of microtransaction and battle passes so cant see your point there.

  If you enjoy the games Nintendo sells go for it, in my opinion the inflated new prices are ridiculous and will have a negative impact on the gaming industry in global as other big corpos will start copying them if Nintendo can get away with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vote with your wallet, and don’t let the FOMO pull you in.

  Nintendo is just a small slice of the gaming industry. If you don’t like what you see there are other platforms and game developers.

  For 80 usd you can buy a handful of bigger titles during a Steam sale. Just saying.

  Its cool, your choice, you spend your money as you see fit.

  I personally would never spend 60 usd on a game in 2017 and will never spend 80 usd in 2025. Its just too much.
