- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 5 days ago:
Back when I studied in that city, I did commute by bike, 20km each way, and was much faster than public transport. I am happy that I only have business there two or three times a year.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 5 days ago:
The problem is that it does not remove cars in that city. People still need to get to work, and public transport is so bad, it is hardly an alternative.
The mayoress simply f-cks up car traffic, only marginally improves bike traffic, and public transport (busses) have been victims of cutting into car traffic, too.
Better make a big detour around that place.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 6 days ago:
I would not mind. In the mean time, I skip that city and actually drive to the next city over and use their tram to get to the city center. Even though it is much farther, it is still quicker.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 6 days ago:
Be happy that you can use an e-scooter or bike. Imagine being unable to use such a device, crappy public transport, and that in a city that cuts off cars…
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 6 days ago:
Well, AIX (one of IBMs UNIX variants) is old, and, AFAIK more or less legacy stuff. The other is RHEL, which is s Linux.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 6 days ago:
Windows? On a mainframe? Microsoft may be ambicious, but that is a few number to big for them.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 6 days ago:
For closed and proprietary stuff, and things that still run on FORTRAN and COBOL, yes. But about anything running a web frontend, it’s Linux (RHEL).
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 6 days ago:
Guess what most IBM big irons are running nowadays?
- Comment on I need a cheap part to fix a bread machine that's under warranty. "We can send you a new machine." 1 week ago:
I once bought a 12V, Dremel like drill kit. One of the thin (1mm) drills was broken. They send me a new set.

That kind of fuckery drove me off a company-sponsored training course.
- Comment on Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today] 1 week ago:
About every country forced to hoard USD for business purposes subsidises the US.
- Comment on Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration? 1 week ago:
He is a Narcissist. He needs to be loved, that’s why he thrives in his role of Almighty President-King.
Polls are showing that he isn’t, so he pushes ads here and tries to buy love there.

There are people like me who occasionally read all/new.

Get a book on German history 1930-45.
- Comment on Chinese Factory Worker Can't Believe The Shit He Makes For Americans 1 week ago:
Fun fact: from another post I just learned that sex toys are a really booming domestic market in China at the moment.
- Comment on EBay binding arbitration 2 weeks ago:
There should be a law making such clauses illegal.
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 2 weeks ago:
“I have to clean here!” - lifts fat barbell, that some steroid man just lifted with both hands, with one hand and moves it elsewhere.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
That is as old as customs and tariffs and is called “smuggling”.
And about equally as long it is frowned upon by those who impose customs and tariffs.
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 2 weeks ago:
Well, that’s why you still have mens and womens sections in the shoe shop. But it definitively makes it easier e.g. to find a shoe for a woman with wide feet, just take a mens’ sneaker in the same size.
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 2 weeks ago:
Shoe sizes are Unisex here in in Europe as well as in Asia. And in Asia they are even smarter - they simply use centimeters, while we use “Paris Points” of 2/3s of a centimeter.
- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 2 weeks ago:
Thumbs up for reporting it as spam.
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 2 weeks ago:
You have different shoe sizes for men and women? WTF?
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 2 weeks ago:
Not as in “FOSS alternative”, as it is already open, but simply a Linux version: Tortoise SVN, the file manager integrated UI for SVN. That is actually one of the two things missing in the Linux portfolio. The other being a native port of Notepad++, although this at least runs fine under wine.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 weeks ago:
I absolutely support dolphin over explorer. Whenever I have to deal with Windows, having to use this crappy excuse for a file tool feels like pain incarnated.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 weeks ago:
For me, it is the other way round. Probably depends on what you are doing.
- Comment on He is disappointed in all of you 2 weeks ago:
Wear that to church. Sit in the front row so the pastor can see it.
