I could easily see this being really hard to understand, to an American with no French. "Unkufay? Un days err?" I mean, lots of us have trouble understanding various British accents, before slang even enters the game.

Watch out with those assumptions though, false friends lurk. Don't tell the waitress how excité that dessert makes you.

What's supposed to be at that link? I see a bunch of shit about Hunter Biden and what may or may not be this guy(?) gloating about wage theft.

BR 2049 is a very bad idea ("an actual sequel to Blade Runner, this many years later? LOL no") that ended up amazing and worked great both as a film and as a sequel, somehow (and by "somehow" I mean "Villeneuve is a

I get what they mean, though. Computers have made every "making of" for FX-heavy movies super boring, except the few that still have some notable practical work, too.

The companies think it makes enough of a difference to be worth lying. So I think it's worth forcing them to stop lying. You're probably right that it wouldn't have a catastrophic effect, but it might be enough that they do

I mean... "fuck around and find out" or similar was a pretty damn common response when people who chose to publicly ignore common-sense precautions died of Covid.

When I was evaluating options for a self-hosted web git service, I ruled out GitLab because I regard such high resource use as a serious architecture smell. Just asking for trouble. Also went with gitea. Runs on a potato. If you have few en

Yeah... I was mostly in favor of Covid restrictions but it's bizarre to say that "no doing [huge list of normal things everyone does]" is fine and if you don't play along you're a plague rat, but balk at "maybe

Right—it's not a subsidy, at least in the US, because much or all of the gas tax goes to road maintenance, so if you're not driving on public roads, you don't have to pay it. Doesn't make sense to make e.g. farm tractors

Farmers are a rounding error in the claim "the vast majority of trucks are used for work". [EDIT] I think, assuming you're posting all this in good faith, it may be a result of expanding a local perspective to the entire coun

There's probably some amount of a valid point there, but making it about a Hummer, specifically, undermines it, since they suck at most of the things one might think they'd be good at. Incidentally, I saw tons of Hummers on th

I live in a truck-loving part of the country. This cannot possibly be true.

Large trucks and SUVs tend to be so expensive to buy and operate that you can pay for a lot of deliveries and truck rentals per year—maybe a boat slip at the local marina, too—while still saving money. Farther out in the sticks, sure, tho

Well, right, it's the intuition/viewpoint that takes it to "huh, neat and a little surprising, but believable" rather than "no fucking way!" that's similar, I'd say. If you're familiar with one o

Yep, that's the one. Ballpark 7% of the Earth's surface, or 15% of the land-surface area (guesstimate based on the whole circle being about 22% of the land surface area—but much of the circle is over water). Over 50% of the popula

Seems related to the fact that you can draw a surprisingly-small circle over part of Asia and have more people inside the circle, than out. Human geography is very uneven.

I think given your (evident—correct me if I'm wrong) view on how political positions must be supported in order not to be invalidated by contradiction, you're going to find a lot of "contradictions" everywhere, and littl
