I find that a horrible question. I've not had skittles in years, are they as big as smarties? I think a little smaller? Sure, you can start your estimation by laying them down in a 10x10 grid, and stacked 20 high, but that's very

That reminds me of an interview where I was asked about something about "a module", to which I responded that I needed some clarification, and rattling off like 4 different uses of the word, only to be meant by a blank stare becau

Interesting. I also got my first hand grinder like a year ago (Hario) and I need about as long as the water in the kettle boils, so about a minute for my one cup. I thought it might annoy me, but so far it didn't.

Unironically, with their health care system couldn't it also be underreporting and not seeing a doctor if you have a mild case of food poisoning where someone in Europe would just go see a doctor?

The 15%/20% figure is wild. I've owned a Kyocera Mita laser printer from 2004ish to 2022 - and I had to change the toner cartridige like 2-3 times. Either this weird filling was not the case for my model, or I could have saved ano

I don't think "issue" is the right term. It's a caveat and as long as it's displayed visibly (it is) it's fine. But JFTR, I think I've edited around 50% of all blog posts I've written in the last 10 y

Not sure if it's frequency bias, but when did the perceived "Poker == Texas Holdem" happen? I remember when I was learning about Poker as a kid/teenager in Europe I didn't hear about that variant, then I didn't

This is the most complete, correct and helpful answer I've seen so far - agreed on all points. I just want to add that the Bundesanzeiger stuff kinda correlates to the Impressumspflicht for websites, of which I cam not a fan at all for

I think you're missing the key point that Germany doesn't have many unicorns or Fortune 500 companies, but a mass of lower tier family-owned businesses. Which is a fair criticism, and I'm not invested in any form, but I guess

Yeah,that was one of my first thoughts as well. I guess the raw.github example gets not only more traffic (irrelevant here) but probably also many more requests than hundreds of other sites combined. Also no clue how actual RR DNS load bala
