Is it 100 GB in addition to what I already have saved or 100 GB of total storage? Because if it's 100 GB of total storage then I wouldn't be thinking about downloading, I'll be thinking about what I want to keep.

Yes, you really need to rewrite that constitution of yours and declaring something "unconstitutional" doesn't win you an argument, it makes you look like a brainwashed idiot. Just saying.

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

An Essex girl is involved in a car crash and is trapped and bleeding. The paramedics soon arrive on the scene.

Medic: "I'm a paramedic and I'm going to ask you some questions. OK?"

Girl: "OK"

Medic: "what's your name?"

Girl: "Sharon"

Medic: "OK Sharon, is this your car?"

Sharon: "yes"

Medic: "where are you bleeding from?"

Sharon: "Romford, mate."

(I was born in Essex so I think I'm allowed to tell these :p)

It comes from the Esperanto forĝejo meaning forge (noun, literally a site, ejo, where forging takes place). So soft g, and j as English y. /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/

https://forgejo.org/faq/

Not many names come from Esperanto so that's interesting. :)

As a non-American I don't normally care about US politics or what "literally half of America" think but I am concerned with far-right politics spilling over in to my country. So I would naturally want to resist organisations aligning themselves with those politics, whether they are scandalous to Americans or not.

That's my question too, do they not have a secret ballot in the US? If they do (and I'm pretty sure they do) my advice to OP is to deny who they voted for until they can get to safety, "was just joking about voting Harris" is a perfectly reasonable lie if your safety is threatened, the family would have no proof or way of finding out.

Can you not just post what the use-case is and the list? I'm not going to watch an unsolicited 20 minute video.

“If it’s clean enough to put back on your body, it’s clean enough to be put back”

I think I disagree there, clothes that are clean enough to be worn for another day aren't necessarily clean enough to be stored over a period of time. Think of it like food; there are leftovers that are probably OK to eat the next day but you would probably would want to treat them separately from your fresh food.

It hasn't had a meaningful update in ~10 years, and the problem is it still has the brand recognition which keeps potential users away from LibreOffice. It's an embarrassment to Apache if you ask me.

All the time. For websites that are no longer online, it's invaluable, what's the alternative?

Things which happened get forgotten because they're deleted. If something like Internet Archive exists that's no longer a problem.

Fish consumption, of course, being a famous cause of obesity?

Edit: Look, I'm making fun of the guy, I'm British, you don't need to all take it upon yourselves to explain fish and chips to me.

I used to think that there was a country called Cyclopedia, that was full of all kinds of fascinating things. I had a book all about it called "In Cyclopedia".

Page load: The biggest and I mean biggest reason someone leaves a page is page load speed. If you’re deep in researching some information, regardless of your internet speed or if the fault is on the user side and your page load is over 3 seconds, you will leave the site. Loading only 1/4 of the page helps with this along with other tricks like caching at the CDN and lazy loading.

The thing that always bothers me about this is that I've been using the internet since 90s dial-up, and even 90s dial-up never had a "page load speed" problem when loading text-based articles. An extremely conservative estimate is that modern broadband speeds are 1000x what they were then so "page load speed" is entirely about the design of the website, and it seems that mostly the excuse is "we want to spy on people". Am I wrong? Otherwise why not write an HTML page that would be just as compatible with Geocities as it would now?

When I was a lot younger, on an old forum back in the early 00s, someone called me a "know-it-all". This sounds silly now but it really hit me in just the wrong way at the time, I was sincerely trying to fit in by showing off my knowledge of the subject with no idea that that's how I was coming across. I guess it was a learning experience.

I'm really surprised by this, as someone in the "never" category I honestly didn't realise there were men who sat down (obviously aside from physical disabilities), or that it would be a cultural thing. I've never thought about it.

In fact sometimes if I go for a "number two", I will take it in two parts, pee standing up then sit down for the second part, or vice-versa. It's just more comfortable like that.
