A warm seat, juck.

Same as washing your hands with warm water, no warm seats for me.

Because they love their colonial overlords, the UK, and the UK gave part of palestina to the jews to create Israel?

Must be something like that, or just plain longing to influence a tiny part of the world that is close to the area that has a tad of oil in the ground.

As reliable as Trump?

No matter if that criminal wins or not, EU needs to fend for themselves. The US is a lot more unreliable then Poetin (we know he’s a bastard).

Exactly. When people work somewhere, they need to earn a living wage. When they give exceleny=t service, you can tip, no matter which business they’re in.

Interesting… time to dive into those books.

I was messing about in a fighter simulator (previous milenium) and the game told me I did an insane move. It sticked, so I called myself TheInsane. In an online game, that nick was already in use, so I got the suggestion to take TheInsane1… nah, there is only 1 answer to everything, so I added that. It stuck since then. I got me the matching domain in '22.

I’m using KoffieNu as well, as it matched my domain koffie.nu (proud owner since '98), mainly on mastodon, git and some dutch lemmy instances.

Tipping should be to reward personel for excelent service, not to enable companies to underpay their workers. Every worker should earn a living wage. When a company goes bust when they have to pay workers a living wage, they have no right to exsist and should go bust.

open gmail and see ublock report >1k trackers blocked What tracker bust?

Oh wait, torrents and stuff… never mind.

Relying on a basic understanding how things/situations work.

At a new school, I really messed up a math test. I was studying like crazy, learned all formulas that I would need and managed to apply them all in each question on the test, combining all off them each question. Lowest score possible (1 out of 10), as I really messed up. Next test I didn’t study, I jusy flipped trough the book, checked 1 situation I didn’t understood and made the test. On handing out the teacher asked what I did different then the previous test. I told him I didn’t study, I just checked if it was logically to me and decided I understood as much as I could. He told me to do just that on all tests and I’d have no problems with education and gave me the result, a perfect score. (10 out of 10)

That was 34y ago and still I want to understand things and see the logic behind it. Works perfectly on almost everything. (Humans behavious still mostly eludes me though, totally illogical 🤨)

For me the old internet was an escape from real life. I hate crowds, so I preferred the internet in '94. It was fun, new and all other nerds were just like me, so I understood them (ok, most of them). Now ‘normals’ have taken over as well as companies.

Yea olde internet was for sharing useful information, learning and communicating with like minded, now internet is primarily for earning cash (companies) and having opinions sent out/manipulated. To much noice, not enough information.

In my defence, internet was setup to share information, openly. That’s broken now.

It’s ruined as well, but you’re right, semantics is important.

The general population entering internet and companies trying to take over to monetize internet.

Skip the gun. No civilized country will let you have it.

Ours is still alive and can be voted on in 10 days.

“Survival of the fittest” when used to indicate the stongest should survive. Instead of the one best suited for (fitting) the situation.

I browse the subscribed feed and then check a few specific communities. After that, I get on with life. (Until next moment I’m bored)

Looks like it, I missed the not.

Then I guess covid, the virus, school (hated it there) and that’s about it.

Dutch summers: Tempratures averaging around 20C, tops at 25C overcast 50% of the days, rain (drizzles)… loved it. Better then average around 30C, tops at 40C+, no rain for months and clear skies all around.

Duckhunt: Unplayable on non-CRT. Gave the Nintendo with th gun and game to a friend which bought my last CRT.

Corona: Not the pandamenic, but everything else, the quiet, not being allowed to go to the office,… finally quiet and peace, no enforced social non-sense that all extroverts can’t live without. (The beer as well, miss it)

I still have them, and a player (Nakamishi 700 ZXL), and a Revox B77 with reels. I don’t have functioning 8-tracks anymore. I have the tapes and equipment, but the tapes all broke. I need to find way to fix them (restore the loop).

There’s to much music lost just because the medium isn’t available anymore and it wasn’t economicaly viable to transfer it to a newer medium. So many records that didn’t get transferred to CD.
