Interesting, didn't know this. Thanks for pointing it out.
This list has some issues, Booking.com is Dutch and Philips' Consumer division is just a name that whitelabels other companies products and is owned by a Chinese investment company.
Is this from a movie?
LTO cartridges are shaped so much more efficiently, for so many reasons, so why specifically compact cassette format?
Although I'm also just realising now that LTO is specifically optimized to be used linearly from start to finish (It's even in the name) and is pretty inefficient if you'd want to use it a bit, remove it and using reading it later.
Feels bad, but doing my part
The other guy sucks
Wait, you open attachments from spam?

Who knew they did more than release an annual puzzle?
Even that wouldn't be an excuse: https://winworldpc.com/product/acrobat-reader/3x
I've always wanted a real life "Global" from Earth Final Conflict. Can't wait to find out how badly I won't be able to afford it 😭
reboot -f
Because real men login as root and don't care about such silly things like an init system or file system syncing!
To quote the man page:
-f Does not invoke shutdown(8) and instead performs the actual action you would expect from the name.
A horse with no name (in my ass)
Heard them all by now I think. But if you want to try and kick my ass, you'd better bring a step ladder 🤣
Okay, now it's my turn to be surprised, people actually do that? (Mind you, I got married before online dating was even a thing, so I'm probably a 'bit' out of touch)
Overall I like it, I'm a pretty introverted person and tend to stay in the background by nature, but being this tall means that I get noticed no matter what.
That being said, I'm writing this from the back of an Uber and i can't put my head straight up here. And the only way to fly is in an emergency exit seat.
I can only buy clothes in specialised shops, but these days most have web shops, so that has become a lot easier.
As someone who's well over 2 meters tall, I can tell you that no matter where I travel, people always ask. Just depending on the country, they just stop me walking in public, or only after some small talk.
I can't speak for all European countries, but at least in the Netherlands they're not a thing. We might still have money orders, which are similar, but I've never seen one used.
Instead we can just make instant bank transfers, even using a QR code, which you can generate in your own banking app and can be used with any other bank.
Same here, I used to have this image in my head of a eccentric entrepreneur pushing technology to the max with 'fuck you money'.
Sure he said some crazy shit sometimes, but it kind of felt like he didn't have much of a filter.
Around the time of the Thai cave thing this started to change, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt until that point.
After that, things just went down hill...
Same here, similar age.
When i got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, ny psychologist mentioned that I'm probably on the spectrum as well, but that getting an official diagnosis wouldn't really help anything and she wasn't sure I would even get one.
But having the realisation really opened my eyes though, I now understand better why certain situations always made me irritable and made me have much more peace with my own limitations.
I always knew I was a bit 'off', and knowing I'm on the spectrum kind of felt like the last pieces of the puzzle fell in place.
