The more confusing thing is a change on February 8th, where they add a Russian edition to their game if I interpret it correctly.

Thank you for preaching and proving my and others point.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 days ago:
Providing a decent vegan option is easy
As someone who knows his ways around the kitchen: No. It is definitely not easy, even if you just go for the salad option. Have you ever looked at any ingredient list? Some store-bought “fresh” pasta is not vegan. A lot of things you would not think for a second about them containing animal products like salad dressings are actually not vegan. In a lot of countries, McDonalds fries are not vegan.
And as soon as it comes to the necessity to replace non-vegan ingredients with vegan ones, you’ll fall down a rabbit hole of “this can be used to replace that, but only in those circumstances”, “Yes, you can replace X with Y, but you have to be careful to cover up some flavors”, or even “The replacement for X is basically a doctoral thesis in chemsitry”.

think there’s nothing wrong with explaining your ideas and why you believe them
That’s actually not the problem. The problem are those who repeat themselves ever louder, even to people who have expressed disinterest.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 days ago:
Because the experience of the loud-mouth preacher vegan has become the stereotype of that movement. It might be frustrating for the rest, but it even more frustrating for the recipients of this preaching.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 days ago:
Specifically the annoyingly loud, self-righteous, insists-everyone-must-join-them vegans.
Unfortunately, most people only really see this sort of vegan
If all you can see of a movement are the annoying loudmouths, it will quickly taint the overall image of that movement, regardless of goals of the the movement itself.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 days ago:
You can accept that they are making a better choice,
That’s exactly where it starts. You simply assume that vegans are the better people. And then you preach. That’s exactly what people dislike in vegans and similar people.
- Comment on Putin Orders Russian Tech Companies To Somehow Make Competitive Game Console In 3 Months 4 weeks ago:
Should be easy. Just take a AY-3-8500 chip, and the gaming console is basically done!
- Comment on New Scam: Asking to download Signal/Telegram? 4 weeks ago:
They lag behind on many topics. Banking is just one in a long list.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
The british didn’t quite overcome the old ways of measuring.
Not completely, agreed, but they are miles ahead of the Americans. :-)
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
Blame the French and British, we got it from them!
Like 99% of the world, the French and British long ago managed to overcome the imperial system. Actually, the French spearheaded the metric world.
America just failed, time and again, to follow the times.
- Comment on With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key? 4 weeks ago:
Basically, asymmetric key cryptography is based on the idea that some algorithms are one-way roads. Or trap doors - falling down is easy, climbing up is much, much harder.
For a simple example, take adding numbers. I’ve got a thousand numbers, I add them up, and hand you the sum. Will you be able to find the thousand numbers I have from that sum? Probably not. The math involved in the actual cryptography is a bit more complex, but the principle holds.
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 5 weeks ago:
That is one of Germanys foreign politics problems that for historic reasons it cannot critizise whatever Israel does. If they started beheading children in Jerusalem or bombed orphanages, the German government will turn a blind eye.
- Comment on English, old 5 weeks ago:
I am maintaining the list of langages for a discussion and simultanous interpretation system. The two oddballs in that list are Latin and Klingon. And yes, both langages have been used in the past.

I don’t even have xz installed on my machine. Could anyone clue me in for what it is normally used?
- Comment on Have you ever seen coal in real life? 1 month ago:
Having grown up in a house without central heating, coal ovens in the kitchen and the living room were the two points of warmth in the winter. I have learned to light the coal oven before I was old enough to attend school. And whenever coal was delivered, I was tasked to help moving the coal to the coal shack behind the house.
Dirty business, 0/10, can’t recommend.
- Comment on Staying for the week at an AirBnB in Rochester, MN. This is what I just found out I'm stuck with. 1 month ago:
Here, too, in just a few weeks (at the moment I still have the 100mbit contract). And we are more or less out in the country, the next field is maybe 50m from our doorstep.

Every other minute, a woman in China gives birth to a child. We must find this woman and stop her!

Or, as mathematicians put it: Don’t drink and derive.
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
Central Europe. Most roads in the city are narrow two-lanes, a few main roads have four or even six lanes. Mayor just sacrificed two of the four lanes of one of the main arteries of the city center to bike lanes which are only sparsely used. Extensive pedestrian zone in the city center.
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
Cars don’t care around here.
That’s what they say about bikers (especially electrical) here in the pedestrian zone and the sidewalks, too.
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
Thanks. How far does it take you to brake down from top speed to standstill?

What is a “class 3”? Is that an American classification?
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
It is not the brakes as such, but braking, which has a number of factors. One key factor is friction between wheel and surface. Your brakes might bring your wheels to a quick standstill, but that might not stop the bike.
And the 28mph stem from the point that there are electric bikes that go up to that speed.

I never dienied that some states are terminally stupid. I mean, some states in the US don’t even require regular safety checks for cars.
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
Yes. Way before that.
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
The braking characteristics are not all that different from a normal bike to an ebike
That’s the point. That’s what makes them dangerous.
And: If cyclists only did 28 meters per hour, they would actually be quite safe :-)
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
Yes, you can easily get that fast, but can you also brake fast and reliably enough, too, so humanity is safe around you?
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
So, are you insured in case you run someone over?
- Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes. 1 month ago:
How many people can really control a bike at 28mph?
