I want to support tuxedo, as an European brand, but the last one I bought had such a shitty screen that got worse and worse over the years. They seem to have improved the hardware somewhat but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Yup. I’ve never seen it before. A toast oven that is also a microwave. But instead of a dial to select the mode, you have to go through a touch menu 🤮

I briefly rented an apartment with a microwave that was also a toast oven. Grandet, it had a dumb, slow, digital screen to control. But it was really nice inside. There was no turn table but still heated everything evenly, and due to its size, it was much more efficient that a normal oven at baking. The door also opened forward like an oven.

That is to say, I agree with you thst I want a dumb dial, but there are some nice features out there that I wouldn’t mind having.

That’s exactly the other meaning I described. In Portuguese it was/is used to separate the vowels so they are not pronounced together.

Well, my point is that it’s not considered a u, and Austrian and Swiss don’t use it.

Also, fun fact, some romance languages like French and Brazilian Portuguese have an identical diacritic to umlaut but it’s different. It’s meant to mean the vowel is separate (like in the word naïve)

Für is short for fuer. The umlauts are tiny “e” on top of the letters

I’d love to swap else with alors in all languages

The Greek didn’t realize his head was tilted

The question was asking to draw a bull from memory

It would matter in the sense that the time you’d have to wait for a vacant room is between 0 and infinity.

Actually, the time you’d have to wait would be proportional to (rooms / demand), and since both are infinite, that’s undefined. You’d be waiting for undefined time, which IMO is worse than waiting infinite time!

But there’s also infinite demand for rooms, otherwise the hotel would have long gone bankrupt.

Heard a comedian say the other day that hair implants is a form of gender affirming care for cis guys :)

I understand that and agree, but in the case of many trans people, they go after medical procedures that go beyond plastic surgery. So I don’t think it’s perfectly comparable with being gay

Sorry, but I have an honest question. Isn’t gender disphoria a mental issue? And isn’t it addressed with medical procedures? I don’t understand the consequences of transmedicalism.

I’m afraid that the whole discussion is so polarized at the moment that it is hindering progress. On one hand, conservative people want to completely ban hormone therapy and puberty blockers. On the other hand, progressive people want to ban the pathologizarion of gender affirmation. There a huge lack of nuance in the discourse.

And one fast head turn

Losely speaking, prisionaires are people who committed crimes, while hostages are innocent civilians. I’ve no idea if that accurately describes the situation here, I’m just answering your question.

Just pair it eith a generous salad and you’re good

How about placing your laptop in an uncomfortable place? Mount it on the wall so that it’s usable but unpractical to use it for more than a few minutes? I don’t think the problem you describe can be solved with a specific computer.

You want to be able to find information in a YouTube video or reddit thread without getting sucked into the rest of YouTube or reddit. Your only solution is discipline.

Listen, if you think a BRICS currency won’t be controlled by oligarchs, you’re just fooling yourself. But at least there would be more oligarchs controlling things, not just a few Americans.

I think the best outcome of a BRICS currency is that, like in the Eurozone, a common currency nudges countries to cooperate more with each other instead of fight, and this can have a broader positive effect on other countries.
