That does depend on the cheese, ricotta and mozzarella for example do contain lactose (enough to cause me quite some discomfort unfortunately). And processed stuff which shouldn’t be allowed to be called cheese may contain amounts that spell instant doom for the guts of the lactase deficient.

This doesn’t even faintly resemble German, so I doubt that.

So good job by the dutch? Yes, if this was Dutch. It isn’t though, looks like Afrikaans to me.

Nah. But I would recommend not trying to go for orange next you you try the vending machine. You might end up with lemon-lime.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök will require a PSN account to play on PC 3 weeks ago:
Thanks, I know my way around the high seas should the need arise. But I can’t play every game out there anyway, so as long as I can get my gaming needs satisfied through non-shittified legal means I prefer that.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök will require a PSN account to play on PC 4 weeks ago:
Well, another game I won’t be playing in that case. Fortunately my backlog is large enough to keep me busy for the next couple of years, so I feel no need to play every new title. But still: my wallet thanks Sony for making the choice for me.
- Comment on Multiple displayport monitors setup 4 weeks ago:
Also keep in mind that there are limits that depend on the resolution(s) you want to use. Don’t expect to be able to have a monitor @ 4K in your chain for example. displayport.org/…/driving-multiple-displays-from-… has a table with some examples of resolutions and the corresponding maximum number of monitors you can add to your chain.

I prefer the IUPAC name: Oxidane. Terrible stuff, it’s even used as an industrial solvent and yet we are exposed to it every single day of our lives!
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 1 month ago:
Sony forced the studio behind Helldivers 2 to make a PSN account obligatory after the game launched. That’s a pretty crappy move because PSN is not available in roughly 120 countries, so if you live in one of those you can suddenly not play your game anymore. And Sony hasn’t got the best reputation when it comes to securing and selling their user’s data, so players are pretty upset and vocal about this.
But I would say that present day Sony’s dick moves do not really fit in a topic about PS2.

I just ruined a whole bunch of people’s days with 2 names.

Yeah, but who would want to wear plutonium rings or necklaces?🤔

- Comment on Does middle name on plane ticket gave to match passport? 2 months ago:
My surname contains spaces. I’ve yet to encounter an airline that is able to handle that properly, so my last name on a ticket never matches my passport name. Either parts are missing, or they just print it as a single word. Never given me issues, so I doubt a truncated middle name is going to pose a problem.

Or getting a “quest failed” because you told an NPC “we’ll meet up later” instead of “we’ll travel there together”, and see his unarmed ass getting pounded into the ground by a group of bandits camping along the road. 😂

- Comment on World of Warcraft Subscription Numbers Are Higher Now Than at Expansion Launch in a Franchise First 2 months ago:
You used to have to wait until level 20 to buy a mount. Level 20 took forever, and then you could only buy the slow mount for your race. You didn’t get a fast mount until level 40, which took a very long time.
Ha, rookie numbers. In my time you had to wait for level 40 to buy your slow mount. Fast mounts were bound to level 60 I believe and were insanely expensive (I sold much crap in the auction house to get the money together in those days). Around level 20 or 30 Hunters got an aspect which increased their running speed before that and druids could shapeshift to travel form.

Well, technically the meme does not say he’ll actually do it. And as Paul had to option to go down that road, but choose not to, it’s not truly incorrect.
- Comment on Tax time 7 months ago:
Yes, you are quite correct. Here you can file your taxes either on paper, which means you’ll have to fill in everything yourself, or you can use the website of the tax authority (Belastingdienst). In the latter case the most important stuff is usually already filled in, like your earnings, remaining mortgage & interest paid over it (which gets you a tax deduction), etc, so you’ll only need to check if the prefilled data is correct and add the stuff that the government doesn’t know about.
Bit of a correction on what you said, you not only have to add deductions yourself (some of which are actually already filled in, like the previously mentioned mortgage interest), but also other kinds of taxable income or wealth that couldn’t be filled in in advance, e.g. that bank account in a sunny country that doesn’t share data with our government.
For standard cases you can be done in 30 minutes tops, it is actually a pretty good system, and you indeed immediately get to see either what you have to pay or what are getting back. Although you’ll need to wait for the official message from the Belastingdienst which can take a month or two. But usually that won’t differ from what you were already shown.
Also nice, if you made a mistake you can simply correct it by opening your previous filing digitally, you can adjust a filing up to 5 years ago. Depending on what you adjust do expect to have to deliver some proof, as those adjustments are checked by an employee of the Belastingdienst. The regular filings are checked randomly.

- Comment on On Starfield And Hogwarts Legacy’s Single TGA Nomination Between Them 7 months ago:
Funny thing is that when Morrowind came out using the grandfather of their current engine, they even advertised how every single stone was hand-placed and how that made the world feel more alive than a procedurally generated world. Guess some things still hold true.
- Comment on ‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Seeing Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M+ 7 months ago:
Having grown up with the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman movies and having enjoyed the Dark Knight trilogy, no, I honestly do not know what ‘a second Batman movie’ is supposed to mean. But admittedly I also haven’t really kept a close eye on what DC and MCU have been up to the past few years.
- Comment on Rockstar Games regarding Grand Theft Auto VI 7 months ago:
The core development studio is literally the best in the world.
Every time they release a game it is so far ahead of everyone else in its commitment to a living open world that it moves the entire industry forward by leaps and bounds.
And yet I haven’t finished any part after Vice City. At some point Rockstar Games just bore me out of my mind. Same for RDR2. Yes, it is a technological masterpiece with an incredible attention to detail (although it took them years to get the map and UI working properly on 5120*1440). But how ever much I tried to like it, for me in the end the quests feel tedious and just… not fun.
- Comment on Why do dinosaurs have big heads and tiny arms? 9 months ago:
The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it’s beneficial for them to be that small. They’re tiny because there’s no reason for them to be big.
It is theorised that it might actually have been an advantage to have smaller arms, so there may have been some selective pressure:
“What if several adult tyrannosaurs converged on a carcass? You have a bunch of massive skulls, with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth, ripping and chomping down flesh and bone right next to you. What if your friend there thinks you’re getting a little too close? They might warn you away by severing your arm”

In case of larger species with a tremendous bite force getting bitten in the arm would result in very bad, and probably very short, times.
