Funny coming from a CMS that breaks every time you update it or update the underlying PHP version.

Some are so rotten inside by politics that they don't know how foolish they look.
I only count 6. Switzerland and the UK are not part of the EU. (The article is about the EU, not Europe)
>The European laws are not some random thing we made up because we are lazy. It is to ensure workers are well rested and ready for a new working year.

If that was true Europe would have the highest productivity of the world, but it doesn't.

>Nobody wins.

You just described regulations.

That is so absolutely false. Any game you run if you don't cap fps it uses 100% of your gpu and potentially your cpu. As soon as you cap the framerate to 60 fps it starts behaving normally.

He provided his rationale, you didn't provide shit.
>photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail averages approximately 46.7 °C

>have midday peak temperatures of approximately 34 °C during dry periods, with a long high-temperature tail that can exceed 40 °C

So basically they have found absolutely nothing of concern

Do I really need to specify "unless you have put the bottles in the sun, which the label tells you not to do"?

Neither glass nor plastic add or detract from the flavour of a beverage.

Glass sucks. That's why we stopped using it.

It's expensive, it's brittle, it's heavy, it takes up a lot of space.

The obvious solution is not let the plebs drink coffee.

You think this isn't already happening?

This was 2005, there was no attention to sell and they would gain nothing from equipment damage since there was no in-game shop.
Wasn't it tremendously naive of Microsoft to trust that SSDs did encryption correctly? So naive that it borders incompetence and/or malice?
If someone eats froot loops and can't see by themselves that they are too sugary do they even have the intelligence to make decisions based on those black hexagons?

>Once Loris was the sole moderator, he decided to change the subreddit to read-only mode. However, this was thwarted today when a troll (check their comment history) performed a hostile takeover in broad daylight and reopened the sub.

I would say you are the troll for closing a programming language sub for ideological reasons.

>They did, Discourse is basically just a plain old forum -- with a somewhat newer coat of paint.

Compared to traditional forum systems such as vbulletin or ipboard, discourse is a pain in the ass to use.

Because what I'm mentioning is a phenomenon that occurs in all Indian-related submissions regardless of content.
If he wasn't Don Hopkins he would've been banned a long time ago - years ago he insulted me in a comment (yes, a real insult, not a figurative thing) and nothing happened to him and never will.

All he does is argue in bad faith, edit constantly, going off on tangents, etc. Constant violations of the rules over the years.

Re:Live telecast of Chandrayaan-3 Soft-landing on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @09:48AM (#37235798)
That's not what my comment says. Personally I don't know how impressive or unimpressive the mission is since I am not interested in space exploration and I know almost nothing about it.

Indians are numerous and they display a lot of patriotic pride, which "inflates" these news, especially when they are in websites/platforms that have a voting score.
In the context that we are discussing, those aren't scooters. This is a scooter: https://motosnuevas.formulamoto.es/galeria/4671/Vespa_Primav...
It's not snobbery, a cheap scooter like the one in that ad makes it much harder to kill yourself than a real motorcycle, which is why there is a different licence required.

Here, a scooter like that you can't even drive in a highway - restricting its use to a city makes it much safer.

Re:Your Brain On Emoji on Tuesday August 22, 2023 @05:53PM (#37229034)
Russians do that. The first time I noticed it was in Counter-Strike. They would type ))) and the messages would look like this:

Vladimir : )))

So I thought that they "reused" the colon that separated the name from the message. That was my theory at least...

Maybe so, but thankfully you don't have to use it if you don't like it.

It's your font rendering that looks weird, maybe you have a BGR monitor?
Not really, which is why I clicked to confirm.

When you have someone saying that everybody has a certain problem, the problem is usually them.
