When we see elevator signs: “Max. 8 people”, we silently add: “or 4 Americans”.
Likewise, this is a toilet “Not suitable for Americans”.

- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 1 week ago:
Of course a rubber band reaching to the edge of the atmosphere most likely exceeds its own tensile strength by far. And even if it was short enough just not to, it would simply be pre-stretched by it’s own weight, you would not even need to hold it down.

I burned so much time with those games. Where will it be published, and how much will it cost?

We just got an offer for a conglomerate worth €700, that we had put in for €350. The first offer was someone who only wanted some of it (basically all of the good parts, which is 90% of the value), and only offered €100.

Like with any other ability, like painting or playing an instrument, learning a language is something that some people can do better than others.
And while starting to learn a language as a baby or toddler has it’s advantages (Our kids basically grew up bilingual), I started learning English in school when I was 11, and I still managed to learn it. Yes, native speakers will still tell me that I have an accent, but I’m good enough that they cannot place it, just that it is not native. With only 2-3 weeks a year in the UK, it is probably the closest I can get. Written English is another matter, anyway. I’ve probably read way more English books than the average native speaker…

Same here, elementary school. Teacher: “When water boils, it produces a lot of steam.” Me: “One liter of water produces 1700 liters of steam under normal pressure conditions.” Teacher: “Write down: When water boils, it produces a lot of steam.”.

The first thing that comes to mind here are prostata problems or kidney stones. While the ring muscles can’t counter the pressure from a full bladder, the other two can seriously obstruct the urinary tract. In case of a kidney stone, it could even be that sharp crystals support or cause a rupture.

There you might be right. Shows that they are to dumb to know the meaning of it.
“Homo” in the sense of a taxonomy genus is Latin and means human, while the “homo”-prefix from e.g. “homosexual” comes from the Greek “homoi”, meaning same, equal.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 3 weeks ago:
I remember installing a fresh PC with win98. During installation, I disabled some windows bloatware (Imagine! You actually could do this!), and ended up with an unresponsive, non-windows app blocking the system. I killed that app and removed it from the system. Keep in mind that at this point, no network connection was set up, nor did I install any driver or program yet, this was straight from the windows install medium.
After reboot, the app was back, and again blocking the system.
Wiping the harddisk and starting installation over did not help either.
Turned out this was some bloatware installed by the BIOS whenever it detected at boot that there was a) a Windows installation that was b) “missing” their “register your PC with us” app. This needed some Windows bloatware to work, and thus failed on this machine.
This was the only time I angrily screamed at a hotline worker.

Well, they probably consider them to belong to the “homo superior” species.

Yes, yes indeed. Remove brown people, enslave black people. That’s the plan.
