The Lord of the Ring: The Fellow of the Ring

The problem being that the farmers are usually protesting for pesticide.

I’m fairly confident that this could be solved by better trained and configured chatbots. Maybe as a supplementary device between in-person therapy sessions, too.

I’m also very confident that there’ll be lot of harm done until we get to that point. And probably after (for the sake of maximizing profits) unless there’s a ton of regulation and oversight.

The position of the umlaut keys are also identical to the German layout. That’s probably why there’s no switch for those.

Incidentally, the German layout uses such switches for diacritics, but only those used commonly in French, bit also not all of them. ë and ï are impossible, for example, as is ç. And diacritics on consonants are also right out, because fuck the Slavs, I guess.

Ich hab grad mal nachgeschaut, wie es um Frauen im American Football steht. Die Kurzantwort ist “schlecht”.

Even at 100%, there’s still better things to do with electricity than Bitcoin. Like hydrogen and fuel production (for planes, ships, heavy industry).

Zinken und Schneiden nach man auch einfach nach unten richten. Wird trotzdem sauber.

And ears.

Literally switched to Linux on my desktop yesterday.

That’s the correct plural of email though. Unless you talk about the technology itself, “email” is the equivalent of “letter”, not “mail”.

Du zeigst zu viel Respekt.

Also central EU. Some of my prescriptions are transferred socially via my health insurance card. Others are still on paper. Even if I get them from the same doctor during the same appointment, they might be mixed.

I haven’t yet figured out the logic for which prescriptions are digital and which require paper.

Even within Europe, there was significant scientific progress during said dark ages. It’s extremely obvious by just looking at a 9th century building to those from the 14th century (especially churches). The latter require profund knowledge of mathematics/civil engineering. We went from tiny windows in 2m thick brick walls to vast, airy Gothic cathedrals (although those did take a couple of centuries to actually finish).

Although to be fair, that knowledge did largely come to Europe from the scholars of the Arabic world.

Those popups were so prolific that all browser developers responded by implementing popup blockers.

Which kind of led to the absolute mess of banner ads (and the adblockers created in response) that we still have today. I dare you to deactivate your adblocker on any of the major (commercial) news sites.

Amazon offering free shipping is a large part of why the parcel industry became a hellhole of semi-illegal subcontractors even here in Germany where labour laws exist.

Amazon redirecting you to the front page after you decline cookies is just amazingly stupid design.

When a poor kid gets flattened by an SUV, the only reasonable response is to sigh, feel sad for a moment, and then move on.

Not true. You could also call into question why the kid was outside in the vicinity of motor vehicles! Surely the parents can be blamed as well.
