It’s such an immigrant thing to do. At this point my conversations with my partner almost always have English and German mixed in. But even back in my country, I’d use a lot of English because I couldn’t remember the word in my language or it was simply easier to do so in English, lol.

Austrians say “Sackerl”. And they will always giggle if you say “Tüte” instead. From my experience 😂

6·7 days ago+1 for Fedora. I’ve been using the same installation for 3 years. That’s multiple dirty upgrades. The only reason I’ll be most likely reinstalling is I got a new SSD and it’s a nice opportunity to start fresh.
I have seen that play out almost in real time with a friend’s girlfriend. He has money, but he grew up poor. She has no money of her own, doesn’t work, doesn’t contribute in any way to society. She also comes from poor background. And yet ever since she’s gotten cozy with his money—getting clothes, new laptops, phones, jewelry, traveling—she started sounding like a bitch. Shitting on other working class people while riding on the money she did not earn. It’s absolutely wild to me.

20·11 days agoHaha, that’s the former head of my department. They asked for a good raise (after building the infrastructure from ground up), the company said nah, so they left for a better position and much more money than what the current dept. head is making. The company now pays for their consulting, and the management still hasn’t learned their lesson, because they’re still stingy with the raises.

I can’t speak for low battery, but I can for different brands of calcs.
Back in high school majority of students had this specific model, and I had a different one. My entire answer to a question on an exam was correct, but my calculator somehow calculated different decimals to the ones from the popular model. And it was like 4th, 5th decimal or something. The asshole teacher took all of my points away on that. Meanwhile, one of her fave students forgot a very important part of the formula which made the calculation completely wrong and the teacher still gave them half the points for it. God, I hated school, lol.

1·1 month agoI’m not sure if this is the exact study I read, but it’s at least very similar. I’ve also seen tourists disposing of their waste and garbage directly into the sea.

1·1 month agoThe reality is even the small ones aren’t good for sea life. They’re destroying the sea floor and it’s quite detrimental to the ecosystem.


If only I didn’t get distracted and completely forget to set the timer… or remember where I placed my phone.
