Denmark advised citizens to have some emergency cash, but then also advised people to use it sometimes — explaining that otherwise, the systems that deal with cash won't necessarily function properly in a crisis.

My guess is many KDE users have one or two adjustments they make, but we're all different. I add a "keep window above others" button to the window title bar and set the "menu" key on my keyboard to be Compose.

I often do my laundry at night, what's the problem? I set it to finish roughly when I intend to get up. Turning the lights off made a lot of sense in the 1990s and earlier, when each bulb was 60W.

The EU Energy label on the first (more expensive) washing machine I looked at said 440Wh for a cycle, so 800Wh for an average one isn't unreasonable.

It's not quite as clear-cut as it might first seem. The school was either within or bordering a military barracks, depending which way you wish to spin it. Al-Jazeera's article has obvious bias, but plenty of pictures and diagrams

The UK plug is probably not as tightly secured, but the pins are rectangular and almost twice the width of the round CEE pins. I think the result is it's pretty much equivalent. Unearthed UK plugs simply don't exist.

I'm only a tourist when I visit places with NEMA sockets, so I'm sure I see much more worn sockets than a resident of America. But I often find sockets that have a loose grip on heavier plugs, like a phone charger, or a NEMA-CEE a

I agree (Except British plugs which are also fine if made properly¹). Denmark made installing CEE (the French version) sockets legal in 2011, but the only place I've seen one is a friend's house — he's German and swapped the

You have to click twice more (on two more web pages) that you can't/won't use the app to start the online application. The "Start now" button ought to skip all that.

It's just the impression I get. Buses I've used in the USA are usually older and tattier than here, and the cord is part of that.

I've never seen the pull-cord things in Europe, but they seem to be common in the US. To European eyes they seem old fashioned, untidy, and possibly dirty.

The article clearly says only Bill had overstayed, not Karen. "Bill’s US visa had expired; Karen’s had not.". The B2 visa seems to be because the length of the trip exceeded the ESTA limit, "over two months", perhaps the

I assume court orders against Cloudflare have been tried. How come they are not effective? Edit: according to this article, Cloudflare have not been ordered to block the sites. Very odd. https://cybernews.com/news/cloud

Very few people would use 100% rapid charging. Even on a long journey, they can arrive home with, say, 5-10% remaining, and recharge at home. (The car calculates this automatically.)

"Wif" meant woman at the same time that "wer" meant man and "man" meant person. Man changed to mean only a male person, and we lost wer except in the word "werewolf".

In that case I think you just take hundreds of photos by hand, probably with software which varies the focus as you take them so everything has a chance to be in focus. The device is a way to automake taking those ~300 photos (number from t
