  If it’s the only thing you drink, price adds up fast.

  Sadly your average person just doesn’t care about consumer rights, in any matter.

  I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer’s DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.

  I’d love to start over with 50 million, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a magazine goes out of print and/or out of business, do the original 'master files' for each issue still exist somewhere?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know the Finnish National Library acquires and files a copy of every newspaper or magazine issue released in Finland, and many Finnish language ones released outside Finland. Other countries probably have something similar.

  I’m not a Marvel guy, but I’m vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it’s something I only learned of after the movies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are they just typecasting him???⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, he does play Nick Fury.

  And gives them time to reflect.

  Also ammonium chloride. So delicious.

  Here in Finland, since their return in 2013, Burger King has sought to differentiate from other chains by having self serve drinks and unlimited refills.

  I’m in a long distance relationship, recently my girlfriend suggested we read books together by one of us reading to the other one over the phone - usually me, but occasionally the other way around. It’s turned into quite a precious bedtime story routine. Sometimes I also read to her while she’s cooking or doing other chores.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I debated whether I should say NA or American, but I figured I don’t know what Canadians use, so there we go. Anyway, nice to see that debate is still alive and healthy. I gave up on it ~20 or so years ago. Writing unitedstatesman was exhausting after a while :)

  Not a native English speaker, but my hunch is, soccer will almost certainly be understood. Also it will identify you as American.

  You’re reading it a bit more literally than it was intended. “Flying sardine can to the Canaries” being the gist I was going for.

  I was on it just this Tuesday…
