- Comment on Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel 3 days ago:
In France it’s illegal to refuse serving tap water in restaurants, and it is always free.
You can also drink water on public taps anywhere, usually in public parks. For free.I know it’s not quite as good in the rest of Europe, but I am not sure how you got this idea we are stingy with water. At least it’s potable!

It is extorsion. When you live in a touristic place, I think at some point you just stop seeing people as people. I know I can’t stand living in such a place anymore, personally. Not necessarily tourists themselves, but the absolute corruption that tourism brought to the place and its surroundings. So much greed.

Yes but here I was referring to Sun Tzu’s Art of War in which he explains that if you know yourself (your own forces) and you know your enemy, you will win all your battles. Sorry for the confusion.
But yeah, perhaps the people in this picture were referring to that one?

Business people are used to KYC so that makes sense. Unfortunately for them, I’m from the Internet…

I’m still amazed that this keeps happening but somehow, no one is ever caught?

Plurals in English are always a bit of a roll of the dice…
- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 5 weeks ago:
Could you just clarify one thing? I was told that the plural wouldn’t be octopodes, but octopoda, similarly to what you used for modern Greek.

Looks like a front and back view. Front is CRT screens with nice colors. Back is the computers these screens are attached to. Art installation I presume?

Oh yeah, no hate on the local specialties! I always looked forward going to IKEA as a kid, for the cardamom based pastries and such. But like… I can’t really imagine what a traditional Swedish cuisine restaurant would serve.
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 1 month ago:
Saw a map today, on reddit or around here, showing the dominant kind of restaurants across european countries : local food or foreign food. And sure enough, most of northern and Eastern Europe prefers foreign food. Anyone who’s traveled around Europe will have a fairly good idea why.
All I’m saying is, the bit about food doesn’t work for all countries.
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 1 month ago:
That was thirty four years ago or thereabout and I still remember the absolute panic of not being able to start the game I had just spent a year of pocket money on… The feeling when I found that bug was very similar, except I never found a way out.
Still, amazing memories! - Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 2 months ago:
Ultima Underworld.
Saved a whole year for that one. Took a whole day to figure out how to configure the EMM386 line that would enable me to have enough memory to run the damn thing (tears of frustration were shed).Absolutely worth it. Blew my little mind. Never got to finish it though, because of a bug in the quest in the last level T_T

Meh. I named my first born after a joke signature from my early forum days. Just happened that the wife and I loved the name so it worked out in the end.

- Comment on ard 2 months ago:
Un animal de bât is indeed a pack saddle animal, and bâtard is indeed a bastard so that’s pretty cool. Never realised the connection! -ard in French is also often a negative suffix, like connard which would be a… “cuntard” if you will.
-asse is the feminine variant, although there are inconsistencies, such as pétard / pétasse which are probably related but one is a firecracker, while the other is a tart (the lady kind)Rude language is always so much fun!

It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you’ve none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I’ll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I’m like “do you really think I say those things by accident?!” :,D

I just want a nice, useful address book I can actually search. But those morons don’t even have that, so instead we have abominable emails like did.ssi-sii and such. Sure it all means something, if you can just remember what fucking letter soup the department you’re looking for is. You want the service desk? did.dsi-sdk Rolls off the fucking tongue, doesn’t it.
What’s the point of this piece of shit Outlook if we can’t even search for team addresses?
- Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity 3 months ago:
Yeah, if we had a small start-up sized network, for sure. But as soon as you go into dozens of servers it becomes unmanageable :/ I need to know at a glance what the function of a given server is, my colleagues in sysadmin need to know what rack, what layer in our archi, what os, is it prod, etc. Hence TV model style names. Don’t roll off the back of the tongue, but at least we all know what we’re dealing with without knowing an encyclopedia knowledge of anime / star wars / etc trivia.
I compensate by making fun (for me) jpeg to ASCII welcome messages when I connect to remote servers :P

Meh, I like cute names like the next nerd, but I’ve never seen any in practice. It’s all TV model number like codes.
