I’m also pretty certain that the stock would absolutely tank if he left.

He’s a fucking idiot, but the current valuation has zero basis in reality outside of his personality-cult. If that’s gone, all they are is a struggling mid-sized car company.

I lived a few years in the UK and the plugs really annoyed me compared to F.

They were really bulky but also uni-directional. So there was a lot less flexibility in tight spaces (which with the size of London flats…there were a lot of!)

Same for me!

I think some of it comes down to what your brain is used to.

I usually use mouse/keyboard, that kind of constant movement from holding the stick in a certain position is kind of foreign to me. Whereas having the right track pad basically emulating a trackpall mouse instantly felt really natural. In this case it’s like a mouse in that your movement directly translates to camera movement.

You may just be more used to analog sticks

I loooove my steam controller for first-person games. The right track pad for camera controls just clicks with me. I guess it’s because I’m a PC gamer first and foremost, so I’m used to mouse-like aiming rather than the analog-style stick aiming.

I never really used the left track pad though…

That being said, I was let down by the steam deck trackpads. Maybe I just have big hands, but I could never use the right track pad the same way I do with the steam controller.

Also a general comment: AA/AAA is the best if you get some rechargable batteries. No waiting for charging when something is out of juice! Plus you can just get a new set of batteries if they ever die instead of a whole new controller

I was thinking North Macedonia or something, but then I remembered that the post referenced pounds

It’s been probably 25 years since I read it and I can still remember what an impression it made.

Big recommend!

It’s also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it’s anywhere close to a majority…

Christoph Waltz

It’s true, but I also can’t bring myself to say it!

As a data scientist working in ML: it’s essentially all python outside of some really niche stuff

I use opensuse (tumbleweed and slowroll) because I just wanted to try it out a few years back and it mostly just works.

If I were to reinstall today, I’d probably use fedora again, since it’s much easier to use things like Waydroid.

It’s technically a QWERTY-variant, but I use EurKey

Cars in cities.

You don’t realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.

I had this too! I think my high frequency hearing is just really good.

I recently was at a wedding and only the little kids and myself (in my 30s) were really annoyed by this device the venue had which used high frequency beeps to scare away rodents and things.

The value of the stock (which is outrageously overvalued) is solely down to musk’s personality cult. So now that it’s been announced that he should be “leaving government and going back to his companies” it led to a stock jump, since his presence is the only reason that the stock is worth a lot in the first place.

The issue is that Musk often sounds convincing when he talks about things you don’t really know much about, and there are a LOT of investors who have a lot of money but don’t really know much about anything.

I’m genuinely confused how you think that these two examples of internal uprisings are at all connected to someone saying effectively “don’t count on international law to mean anything since there isn’t any body to enforce it”

Germany is actually trending the other way. Modern Parlaments have more parties than they did in the past.

In general, US-based sites/companies are usually terrible with supporting multi-lingualism. It’s not really surprising I guess considering how monolingual most of the country/region is.

For years google maps has annoyed me, since I just wanted a good way to have German and English reviews not be translated, since both are common in my city and I speak both languages.

Somehow it randomly works sometimes and then suddenly will start translating them again. It’s very inconsistent.

I visited family/friends in the US recently (i’ve lived in europe for many years).

Everyone is super upset about the current state of things, angry at Trump etc.

However, they are also generally just convinced they need to wait out these four years and then everything can return to normal.
