Assisted suicide and euthanasia are absolutely not the same thing. There is huge precedent regarding these issues, especially in Swiss law. Also the mirror is trash.

Asciidoctor, now this brings back the memories I did my entire bachelor AND master in Swiss law with Asciidoctor. The total amount of notes I've taken was like 2 or 3 times LOTR. It worked great!

You misunderstood them. "Period" does not refer to the entire argument, as in "no one can change my mind", but to the sentence "people do not buy books", as opposed to "people do no bus books because they

If you're ever at EPFL or near Lausanne, there's Musée Bolo as well. Probably smaller than this one, but free.

When I was a teenager, I started one day to think about how I was using the stairs, which movements I had to do. Well for several months I had difficulty using the stairs afterwards. I had to force myself to think about something else so it

It's not "someone you don't like". It's a queen. A public figure. Her funeral is a symbol, a public moment, of course dissent should be allowed at this exact moment. They're sending a public message, why is it

Every single laptop does this, except bulky Lenovos. Is it really too hard to use both hands? How many times a day do you open your laptop anyway? Let alone with one hand unavailable?

The ONLY thing I want from a keyboard (well, the main thing) is the ability to wash it thoroughly. These things become disgusting. I had to buy an old logitech keyboard on ebay, one that's no longer in sale, to have this.

I'm a heavy Linux user, but please keep comments like this one on reddit. This is a waste of time and energy. No, you can't just convince your employer to suddenly use Ubuntu. That's not how the real world works.

Same with domain names. I'm a French speaker and I don't care if I have to renounce using accents in domain names. Nobody uses them for good reasons anyway. But it makes attacks so easy, see binance. Terrible, terrible idea.

I've been thinking about that quite a lot, but with Zelda games. I've come to the conclusion that the old games feel beautiful and mysterious and nostalgic because I played them as a child . I'm no longer a child, life is n
