Things being forbidden does not necessarily mean that jail time is the response. Many societies (and oh how I want to write “most civilized societies”, so I do) also apply different standards to kids than to adults.

No no... this does look like a proper downward dog, but no way you could do that!

yes, one tree with multiple trunks. Many trees will drop their leaves annually, then recreate new leaves next spring. Turns out the spruce can do this with its entire trunk. I found it fascinating and enlightening, and learned something new

As a Norwegian, I have never seen the Norwegian word “mil” translated into English, because there is no English equivalent. Instead, we always convert into kilometers or miles, depending on the audience. This was a first, and I blame someon

Hit me! (But seriously, I'm curious. But also, out of privacy, don't.) I presume that your name is then not a typical English name?

I did this myself a month ago or so. In addition to the process and the multiple downloads, I was very fascinated to discover that many reports were delivered as PDF. Why would that be, if not to make it more difficult to access?

Whenever people go "it's been four years, this law is too complicated", I am reminded that every now and again the US Supreme Court has to deal with issues that relate to the constitution.

Cycling drunk probably involves a violation of the same laws that are managed by your driving license. So it’s somewhat like “since you can’t obey the license-free part of this law, we will not allow you the licensed privileges”.

The ones outside Ukraine are operational, it seems. A Norwegian army platoon is on the way to Lithuania in one of those, pretty much as we speak. (Yes, left Oslo 16 minutes ago. https://www.flightradar24.com/ADB5090/2af

So, five years and a pandemic. Not too shabby of a prediction, that!

There is also the option of not messing around with personal data. It would get rid of all the cookie notices that are there, as well as not adding new ones.

Using Wolt, there is a separate step where “a human at (restaurant) has seen your order”. Presumably that resolves this problem.

It sure sounds like IBM were bad. But it sounds like your company was even worse, the way your bosses' boss behaved.

Out of curiosity, how do you know that it's Aah-zhur? Does Microsoft offer any guidance on the topic? (Honest question, I'm confused myself. An authoritative source would be awesome.)

Non-goals does not mean that they are bad goals, only that this particular project will not try to reach them. It’s a good way to manage expectations and scope creep.

Yes, that! On Monday, I will travel from Basel to Berlin. By train, that’s eight continuous hours of work or whatever. By trains it’s a bus, security controls, a somewhat stressful waiting period for birding, cramped seating, waiting for lu

In a court case, you should probably be prepared to argue how that is an error, based on the legal mechanism that allows you to use Spotify in the first place. Then the court would answer your question. (No, I think you would not get away b
