First business day after the election was called, but not after the election itself (i.e. people couldn't vote after 11/02). Or are you saying that they were planning on not releasing this at all in case of a Trump win and not jus

It is really distressing to see how many of the videos in my, admittedly quite large, favourites list are gone by now. Even ones that I only added in the past few weeks. Either simply "Deleted", "Private" or "Remove

Thank you! I will read through that later. Sorry for the late response, I didn't see your reply until just now.

> In the first place ( incidentally a phrase that originates in mnemonics) [...] Do you have a source for that or is it a gut feeling? In a quick Google search I couldn't find anything about the history of this idiom.

Here I was thinking that I didn't care all that much about the mandatory Facebook login for the Oculus Quest 2, and now, just a few days later and before I've even received my device, Facebook threatens to "quit Europe".

Off-topic, but I just have to ask: does "TFA" mean what I think it means? (i.e. the same as in "RTFA") I have seen that acronym used more and more lately, and I always trip up when I read it in a rather polite sentence.

If you offer compelling arguments for changing certain aspects of a country to be more similar to another country that handles things better (in your opinion), then I don't see the problem. Sure, some people will always be offended if

Are you perhaps talking about Manufactoria? http://pleasingfungus.com/Manufactoria/ Probably my favourite flash game.

"Frontlines: Fuel of War" perhaps? It does have a satellite dish in one level, and the gameplay prominently features drones as far as I can remember. https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/fron

Austrian here. I regularly drink pure milk, sometimes a full litre at once (sometimes raw, which probably isn't a wise decision). Though I have to add that I rarely drink milk outside of my home, i.e. in public or at friends' plac

The comments below are fascinating too. Some claiming that it's two separate recordings even though you can easily see that it's a single six second video, and others even talking about Russian brain washing.

The point is that the "brainstorm" bit can also sound like "green needle" if you focus on it.

I don't know. It could be traumatizing to kill someone in a rather unspectacular car crash just because they weren't using their seatbelt. Same for helmets.

This struck me as a ridiculous statement, so I just checked the front page and not a single thing I saw could be classified as anti-white by any reasonable standard.

Oh interesting. I recently ordered "How To Invent Everything" because it seemed interesting, but had no idea that the guy behind Dinosaur Comic wrote it. This makes me think that I made the right decision.

The "Terms of venery" section[0] of the Wikipedia page for collective nouns will probably answer some of your questions. In German, as far as I'm aware, we don't have that many different collective nouns for groups of an

You can have fun at all those levels, jumping back and forth between them at your leisure. Just because you can program a computer to solve a sudoku doesn't mean that you can't enjoy solving one by hand from time to time. Digging

A selling point in comparison to what? A "one evening project" installation doesn't seem to be all that amazing by any standard, in my opinion.

I don't have to use WeChat to know that it would be a huge deal for me if messages were censored. Not only does this conflict with my sense of privacy and freedom, but it would also be annoying apart from the censorship aspect, simply

There shouldn't be a clear line between "good" and "cheap" for vodka as well as for wine. There is good stuff being sold quite cheaply and the other way around.

What I like about GNOME apps is that they usually have a "Keyboard Shortcuts" entry in their hamburger menu, which shows you all, or at least the most important, shortcuts you can use in the app. On the other hand it took me a bit

I've never been on a train and wished that I'd taken the bus instead (or that the line was replaced by buses). The ride is much smoother, I have more space for myself and my baggage and I can more or less comfortably use the toile

Can you empty that box yourself and reuse it? Just asking because I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I could do this for a similar box in our office copy machine (this one catching waste toner particles) when the machine from one m
