Indeed. My girlfriend lives there, last time I was over we went to the big demonstration against mass tourism. I felt a bit sick at the airport listening to all the north European pensioners talking about how they rent a place year round for 800€/month just to spend the odd week now and then there. While many locals working in tourism make minimum wage, around 1300€/month I believe.

I know the Finnish National Library acquires and files a copy of every newspaper or magazine issue released in Finland, and many Finnish language ones released outside Finland. Other countries probably have something similar.

I’m not a Marvel guy, but I’m vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it’s something I only learned of after the movies.

Well, he does play Nick Fury.

I realize I’m very privileged. If I’m working on an issue for a whole day or a half day, everything I do during that day is part of the solution and will be billed to the customer (and I’ll be paid for by my employer too). If that includes taking a nap, so be it. Results are what matter, as it should be. If someone ever starts saying I’m taking too long to do something I may consider changing my ways.

That doesn’t look like an ad, but a section in a (probably) tech magazine where they introduce useful or interesting websites to their readers.

Here in Finland, since their return in 2013, Burger King has sought to differentiate from other chains by having self serve drinks and unlimited refills.

And USA isn’t even in the top 20. Stuff like this makes me wonder if anything in the post is even remotely correct.

Two screens and a laptop screen, could find use for more. I find myself shuffling things around depending on what I need, but most commonly I have the left screen split between notepad++ on one side for any notes keeping, and either documentation I’m reading, documentation I’m writing, a browser I’m using, or something such. Whenever I need to compare text files, notepad++ gets to take the whole screen.

On the middle screen I usually have the remote desktop or VM I’m working on at the time.

Right (laptop screen) is usually reserved for Outlook and Teams.

Commendable effort, but I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to make salmiac.

I guess we could call them tankivs going forward. It would be kinda fitting.

To counter the increasing threat of fake geese, the United Kingdom has decided to found a Ministry of Proper Gander.

I’m in a long distance relationship, recently my girlfriend suggested we read books together by one of us reading to the other one over the phone - usually me, but occasionally the other way around. It’s turned into quite a precious bedtime story routine. Sometimes I also read to her while she’s cooking or doing other chores.

Not a native English speaker, but my hunch is, soccer will almost certainly be understood. Also it will identify you as American.

He super liked her, I could easily imagine her reaction was to roll her eyes and swipe right to see what funny business this student has come up with.

You’re reading it a bit more literally than it was intended. “Flying sardine can to the Canaries” being the gist I was going for.

I was on it just this Tuesday…

Yet somehow it still resulted in W Germany.

It’s quite disingenuous to compare the worst atrocities committed by individuals, which were then tried and sentenced, to Russia’s standard operation procedure and doctrine.

And some say there were two WWs on their account
