My country’s “evil socialist healthcare dystopia” is far from perfect, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I didn’t learn wtf “copay” was until last year.

I remember seeing the fox news manufactured outrage about “death panels” when Obama care was the big talking point an eternity ago. I always found it hard to understand how that’s not an apt description of a hospital board of directors with a profit incentive.

For roughly three milliseconds I thought to myself they shoulda used solar panels instead.

“Oh, wait…”

Not disputing your claim, as it doesn’t surprise me at all, but I’m curious: What are “the worst right wing instances” ?

I haven’t paid enough attention to notice any instances with a consistent and noticeable right-wing lean.

And the UFO nuts are going to be disappointed by this nothingburger release to the point where they start demanding the REAL files. What will be the next distraction?

I love that episode where the Fraggles decide not to eat the structures anymore. The result is that Doozers somehow succumb to poverty as they can’t work anymore. So instead they turn to knitting.

Later their usual song of how building and construction is the best thing in the world has been replaced by different lyrics about how knitting is the best thing in the world.

At the end when the Fraggles eat the structures again, the Doozers of course go back to building. Things go back to normal pretty quickly, and their usual building-song is back to how construction is the best thing in the world. But they’re all wearing knitted scarves.

Fraggle Rock taught me the concept of ecosystems better than any science teacher ever could

And here i was pouring paracetamol in the water supply, hoping for more focus on railroad and trains for the next generation

I just cut the onions on the stove with the ventilator running. It allows me to slice/dice/mince the onions however which way I want without any tears.

First of all: Thanks for stepping up

Secondly: Hopefully pedantic dorks won’t cause the mod queue to clog up

Thirdly: Reported for rule 4, “Self promotion”

Well, Darth Vader is one hell of a character…

I was pleasantly surprised by that one too. I like how they managed to make a sequel without trying too hard to recreate the past; The first movie is referenced in a nostalgic way, and Maverick serves as a continuation rather than just recycling the original movie.

And as someone with a far-above-average enthusiasm for the F14 (not because of Top Gun, just for the record), it was pretty cool seeing the protagonist trying to remember a start procedure he’d gone through a million times, but not for at least 30 years.

I for one love (most of) the traditional Norwegian dishes. But I will concede that I’m not expecting to see Lutefisk stalls in the UK anytime soon, (Although they have their own questionable things they do with fish), and I doubt street food vendors in Kuala Lumpur would be put out of business by someone selling Pinnekjøtt.

Used it in the past, and it’sa pretty alright desktop OS. It would work as a server OS, but that’s not really its main focus.

It’s debian based, so might as well go for actual debian.

“I have two copies of War Thunder running, and neither is working”

High IQ scores mean you’re good at IQ tests, and that’s it.

Eons ago, when I joined the army as a conscript, the officer said I scored higher than 90% of anyone taking the test.

The test results implied that I’m smart. My life experiences prove otherwise.

I always liked putting it in D&D terms: I’m not sure if I have high INT and low WIS, or if it’s the other way around.

It’s been a while since I selfhosted my email, but I found it pretty efficient to set up a spam filter that periodically logged into my Gmail address and used its spam folder to train a bayes classifier.

Firefox has been rewritten as a Perl/Tk script.

Even I, fluent in both, am appalled at the idea.

Been a hetzner customer for around 20 years. No regrets.

Non Japanese speaker here, confirming the confirmation 👍

I saw this earlier today, and now you have to as well:

Not sorry, btw
