  At the moment, I would not trust the US farther than I can toss Trump.

  Happened not long ago that, for the same reason, police raided a tomography & XRay clinic. Guess what, an MRI needs serious power to work…

  These-phase 400V is the standard house connection here in Europe. Wall sockets are 240V/16A (any phase to neutral), but we also have devices running on three phases, like the oven or the geyser in the kitchen.

  They had no Linux driver back then at all, but there were some rudimentary from the community that printed Ok. They just did not support special printing modes, which i wanted to add.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden Tech⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely normal here. Three phases, now 400 instead of 380V back then, 64A. Standard house connection.

  A former coworker was abroad most of the time. Still, his power meter showed lots of usage during his absence. A tenant in the same house had used such a cord to leech power across the common laundry room.

  Now that coworker knew his way about electricity. So instead of the 220V between common and a phase, he rewired his washing machine socket to two different phases, aka 380V, and left for a week.

  When he came back, he saw a number of kitchen- and other appliances waiting for trash collection.

  I contacted both technical support for commercial systems and later their booth on a big technical trade fair (CeBit Hannover), and got basically the same opinion both times. The first was definitely no “Sales Rep”, and the people at the booth were a manager and an engineer.

  But I agree, their opinion is stupid.

  Canon is on my personal blacklist for decades. I bought a printer from them, not just a normal A4/legal, but a professional, wide one that uses rolls of paper, etc. I was unhappy with the state of the driver under Linux, so I called and asked for a programming documentation to write my own printer driver. Their opinion on Linux/open source was that “open source is theft of intellectual property”.

  If its stupid and it works, its not stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For me, “civilized countries” explicitely excludes the US. Does this make me a racist, or just a fact checker?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you put a ship inside a Klein bottle?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The specifics were already covered by the term “Klein bottle”. Everything is inside all Klein bottles. You, me, and the universe.

  If someone is so far out of the world, I wonder if he sees traffic signs and -lights just as funny flowers or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm baffled⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The baffled king composing a calendar…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you put a ship inside a Klein bottle?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All ships actually are already in all Klein bottles.

  I would also prefer not to listen to him. Regardless of the daytime.

  I got a login on an IBM system. I logged in and moved to the change password mask. Changed my password to something filling out the 12 character new password field. Logged out, and got the login mask again. With an eight character password field.

  Not that I would have bought it - not my type of game - but this game gets on my blacklist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you read and understand this passage?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew I have read it before somewhere.

  Well, like every craft, skills develop over time. What was a blacksmith hundreds of years ago is now a CNC operator. Likewise, writing styles have evolved over time.

  Yes, he has been a great storyteller, and his stories and characters stood the test of time, but his writing style did not.

  That’s why you always buy oversized and mill it down to size and squareness.

  OSHA loves those people.

  Been shopping at Metro recently, stumbled over a sign for Snickers with a >€100 price tag. It was a seriously big box with 10kg.

  As always, Microsoft is a few years behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope Joan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, just like they did in Nazi Germany back then, measuring skulls to find inferior people. They called it “Rassenhygiene” back then. It is amazing to see how many Nazi Germany ideas they unearth and recycle in the US nowadays.

  Oh, they have seen in the US where conservatism is leading to. I’d say they understood perfectly.

  I have seen someone grating cold butter and put it into a bowl with whiskey. Leave that in the fridge for a few days. The whiskey is supposed to taste better, and the butter was used for a whiskey buttercream cake.

  Found the American.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And irritate eyes to drink tears⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a fantasy world I designed, a butterfly is one of the worst killers. Its touch is toxic, landing on any exposed skin is deadly, but in a horrible way. The victim is just paralyzed, not killed, and the butterfly returns to the victim to lay its eggs, and the larvae eat their way into the still living body…

  Great! I’ll hand this to my daughter to annoy her co-students who struggle with probabilitiy ;-)
