I honestly think it has more to do with culture. I've never been to the US so this might be completely wrong, but my observations from talking to people and just observing: - if you move to the US and have a name made up of non-ASCII c

The funny thing to me is how these inofficial transcription rules differ from country to country. Seems most people with ö or ü from a Turkish name are happy to drop it to o and u (cf Mesut Özil) but Germans are absolutely not. (Not saying

I can tell you that German bank thing I signed up in 2023 and can't be older than ~5 years asked for my FULL name as written on my ID, in my case it's "First Second Last" but I go by "First Last" but in their i

I've only had Ghost Pepper (once, not keen on repeating) but the pain wasn't really so bad because it was a complete endorphin (or adrenaline?) rush with just sitting there for a bit (and crying). Interesting experience.

yeah, from the ones I a have used (Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Maxdome) only Prime is atrocious, all others are not perfect but usable.

I guess it depends on your definition of rural. Here in southern Germany that is mostly "not far from a bigger town" but still enough space for a house with a garage and the ability to charge. Even if you manage to have a house in

I was recently recommended English (Canadian) for that reason but I've not yet managed to get Google Maps on my mobile to show me km instead of miles, no matter what setting. (It's not the account, because a desktop browser on a W

Now that's something I kinda disagree on because I think this has much more to do with personal preference than with either tech being outdated. There's basically zero reason for me to use a phone at home for anything longer than

It's not my opinion but apparently most manufacturers' that headphone jacks are outdated. I recently got my first mobile phone with BT only and I hate it, so I at least wish I had my headphone jack back. All my computers use wir

I guess the idea of "outdated" is different, as you're not the first person to mention checks still being used (in the US I assume). Not 100% sure but I am relatively certain the last check I used here in Germany was in the 9

I read nothing about cars, isn't that the same stuff? (As you can see, I'm neither an expert on drug use nor on tuning cars.) I suppose the system itself is street legal in many countries, even if maybe not the use. But even if yo

If they pay an agreeable salary and the work sounds interesting, why wouldn't they? Even if you're wary of startups you have a founder that seems set for a predictable direction instead of hypergrowth and you might have a better c

Every time I read something like this I am wondering if I am just missing out or using products the wrong way. Sorry to anyone from SO reading this, but I have been using the site for.. probably 10 years (or how long it has existed) as most

Not really. There are dozens of reasons why you would want to do some thing the non-standard way and not "the one recommended" way, but it's mostly impossible to ask that on SO because 3 people will jump in to tell you "

I think that depends on the problem. My main use of SO is figuring out badly documented DSLs or configurations or magic annotations that have nothing to do with programming per se . I can dig into a language I don't actually know and

You and I seem to have a different recollection of the past :P 95 was only good in its final iteration, 95c. 98 was a bit of a shit show, 98 SE was kinda stable. 2000 had lots of driver problems for about the first year because it was decid

I'm not arguing for a blanket ban but please elaborate why I need to see a poster by a local candidate on every 2nd tree on the road I take. Maybe it would help if the laws were stricter that they need to take them down sooner after th

I know you're joking but maybe screaming into the void for 5 minutes every morning would be cathartic enough to lift my spirits for the day. No need to annoy the team mates.

With 20 years of hindsight I am not saying I can objectively talk about it but I kinda hated Pascal, with syntax and everything and so I didn't really try Delphi. Visual Basic 5 was kinda awesome. It may very well be that if I had look

I think the comparison with the old Burning Man is apt, but not since valley people have been flying in en masse and it seems more like a rich people playground. Never been to Burning Man, so take with a grain of salt. I've also not be

If I can trust Wikipedia over 1/3 of the 6m people live in the Copenhagen Metro region, that's ignoring all the other towns. Also now I wonder how this works with used cars.
