Absolutely!

I have family in the US. Uncles and aunts and cousins. One of my cousins have a child who I’ve never met. I would love to meet them all.

But there is no way I’m going to the states in the current condition. And even if the administration would be replaced, I think it would take years for the states to recover to the point where I would visit.

But honestly, disconnection from the US cloud providers is a lot bigger than you seem to think. A ton of governmental services are hosted on US cloud providers. Pulling that plug would mean blackout for a crapload of governmental services, which we have grown to depend on.

I partly agree. I love pinapple on pizza and burgers, but only when I want the food to have that particular taste. The sweetness and sourness of pineapple is all-consuming flavor to me, and I don’t always want other flavors to be hidden behind the pineapple.

I don’t understand. They are stopping posting in one channel in favor of posting on another. It just seems like a cleanup in diverse accounts to make it easier to follow nasa. It would be great if they moved to mastodon or any non-nazi channels, but the change in the tweet doesn’t look like much to me.

I also was also told once that since the nostrils and mouth are connected holes which lead to the asshole, humans are homotopic with fidget spinners.

I thought to myself that this must exist as a service, no? So I found this:

What would a CPU look like with these wires? Would it fit within my town?

But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?

Bro.

I live in a country where bidets are extremely rare. I honestly only know one single household with a bidet. I have however discussed getting one, but the discussion has pretty much faded out since it isn’t seen as a common need around here.

I fully agree with the “buttholes are the only thing we are content with wiping with paper to clean away poop”-paradox argument. I have mentioned that a lot in my discussions with my gf about getting one. So maybe I should get one - as I said, my opinion isn’t very strong as I haven’t experienced one, and I haven’t experienced sanitary issues with using paper.

So with all that said, it’s less tempting to make that purchase when people respond as condescending dickheads when raising concerns or questions about it. You just fully assumed that I lived in a place where bidets are common and told me to grow up and that I am ignorant. The other commenter got called a dumbass for not knowing the bidet procedure when they initially said that they were not bidet trained.

Being condescending doesn’t really help anyone. It just makes me want to ignore your advice.

It’s honestly shamefull to see people downvoting and calling you dumbass for raising questions and concerns about bidets. I’m not bidet trained either, and I don’t really have a strong opinion on them, but these responses almost make me want to take a stance against bidets.

When the lots are wide or several spots are free, I agree, I might pull in front first. But tight parking lots need that extra precission you get by backing into a lot. I have far more often been stuck for a while behind someone trying to pull in front first into a tight spot when backing in would have been quick and easy.

I’m not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it’s obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I’m not sure if you’re in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.

When countries vote for their neighbour, that is usually not enough to change the end result. The most popular song usually still wins. But Israel is assembling political votes all across Europe. Only a few percent of the voters need to be rallied to completely overtake the public votes. Also considering that Israel supporters are motivated to vote 20 times, people voting for their favorite song will likely only vote a few times, if at all.

Yes, Eurovision has always been political to some degree, but it hasn’t really swayed the results this much ever before.

They were banned. There is a whole thing about why Russia is banned while Israel is not. I don’t have the facts, but comes down to something about membership in EBU (the european broadcasting union).

But I’m guessing it also yields more exotic results, depending on the rest of the search term?

It’s weird how the price drops when something "included’ gets removed. Am I misunderstanding that word?

The tile placement game in Satisfactory is worth a mention. I never fully understood the points system, so I never really rode the game to decent scores, but it was a fun break from the vast size of the rest of the game.

I live in Norway. Growing up, some days in school were reserved for diverse activities. Some of my friends and I decided to bike to the swimming park in the city ~20 miles away. We didn’t have to bike on car roads at all to get there, as bike lanes and good side paths lead us the whole way. Being able to get anywhere with a bike at the age of 14 is an amazing level of freedom.

Ah, the Norwegian subtitle crew had creative freedom when translating that line. The official translation was “hipp hurra kølletryne” which would translate back to english as “hip hooray club face” (“club” as in golf club or hockey stick - which of course also is a goofy euphemism for penis).
