It's definitely not for free. You can buy several Windows laptops and Office licenses for a single Mac laptop.

Metal tires and metal roads. Kind of slippery, so we might need to make some sort of ridges to guide our vehicle's direction. Stopping will still be hard, but if we just lock cars together and do it all at once it might be feasible.

The Chinese government are a ruthless immoral authoritarians. Say what you want about economic systems, but fuck authoritarians.

It's kind of funny how McCain and Romney were/are the voice of reason in the GOP. We didn't know how good we had it. Or rather how much worse it could get.

And are under the impression that what's going on in the US is going on worldwide. Apple is doing fine worldwide, but isn't nearly as dominant as in the US.

Neither should the EU

We don't choose which app we use. Our friends, family, and colleagues do.

I could live with Signal's functionality, but there barely anybody there.

You all keep saying that, and I'm not saying I can't ultimately make the move, but there's always something that doesn't quite work as easily.

Then there's always a solution to that which isn't quite what you want and involves a lot of terminal which isn't really something casual users want.

For me this time it was OneDrive which I want to be able to use, trust, and have control over without terminal commands and a half baked GUI. I get it, fuck Microsoft, but it's already paid for and we're not moving because my wife, who is doing dome contracting work, doesn't want to mess with what she is familiar with.

83 degrees Celsius is too hot in any month

That's Limmy, not Lemmy.

GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn't do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.

But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.

As a European with a higher than average interest in North America, I can say with some confidence that Europeans don't think about the Upper Peninsula at all.

I couldn't activate my W11 with a genuine W11 key taken from a previous W11 install.

Bucket of water with potatoes and a drill with a toilet brush for a drill bit.

Where I live you could buy a very decent RV for the equivalent of $100k. Hell even the $60k variant gets you quite a bit.

I'd much rather have that and be able to work "from home" from the south of Spain rather than drive a geometric shape.

Too late. I work with Microsoft professionally, but I'm about to install Linux Mint privately.

I think it's a clever way to get rich people to pay high taxes. Singapore is just not a place suited for private cars for the able bodied. The same policy in other countries wouldn't be fair, but I could probably see it work in Manhattan or in the canal district in Old Amsterdam.

At a certain point these individuals aren't really contributing much. They're keeping themselves busy with unnecessary meetings, networking activities, etc. It's easy to get to an 80 hour work week if you include an afternoon playing golf.

If upper management takes a month off work at a steady company, not a lot of things slow down.

In Dutch there's this joke: "netwerken is net werken." Roughly translates to "networking is almost like working."

A continuous 30 day vacation is only 20 working days or so. In my country that's the government mandated minimum.

I think 25 or 30 workday paid vacation mandate is better for your mental health and productivity.

I actually get "unlimited" paid vacation days, which sounds like a bit of a shady practice. But I've already taken 30 days this year and I get absolutely no complaints. I'm planning on taking at least one more week this year.

I can't imagine not having any vacation days. America sounds nice and all if you're making 150k+ but I'd hate to work there at median income.
