I don’t want to be the grumpy old cormudgeon, stuck in the past, who looks at the younger generation reflexively with disdain, dismissing everything about them, antagonizing them even. I really don’t.

But I also cannot look at this and not hate it.

Wasn’t he already long dead by then?

It’s not like open-field battles didn’t happen…

That’s a really weird way to use graphs. The data being presented is really just a timeline, I don’t quite understand the thought process that led to presenting this as a horizontal bar graph. There is no second dimension here, so you don’t need a two-dimensional graph.

Nobody would have believed him anyway.

And the new leader of Hungary will be… Peter Hungarian!

Christians, please explain to me how this could possibly not be blasphemy.

Interesting that they clearly know that doing that would be undesirable to the laptop owner.

I don’t think he’s right about America’s founding ideas. Free enterprise, maybe. But capitalism is a different beast, and only came to America much later. The young country’s first taste of real capitalism was the East India Company and their tea trading business. And look how they reacted to that.

I don’t think capitalism was what the USA’s founding fathers had in mind at all. I do think the linguistic conflation of “free market” with “capitalism” is an intentional large scale psy-op designed to make people forget that. And it’s working.

Any further “helpful” information in that error message would be a security issue.

Damit Du es vermeiden kannst, richtig?

Richtig?

A paranoid squirrel? So, a squirrel?

Don’t goad him while he’s holding the big red button.

The amount of bloopers for a film is usually longer than the actual film. The vast majority of takes, and even quite a number of shots, will never make it into the final cut. How long the blooper reel is is mostly just up to whoever compiles the blooper reel.

Very dicey tactic. Until you actually get to the enemy line, they have a better shot at your ships than you have of theirs.

Well, it was supposed to be mainly a hazelnut cream with some sugar, cocoa and maybe a few other minor ingredients. And in fact, when it was new and conquering markets, that was what it was.

I think the decades starting with the early 1990s had desensitized a lot of us to enormous amounts of sugar, and in the end we didn’t even consciously notice anymore how sweet that stuff had gotten.

I’m not surprised by it any more, but only because I’ve known this for a while now. When I first saw this breakdown (and looked at other sources to confirm), I was caught a bit off guard by the realization that this stuff is well over 50% sugar. The palm oil is not exactly a plus, either.

And what the goddamn hell is “true wood” supposed to distinguish?

I suppose if it contains lignin, it’s really wood, otherwise it just kinda looks like wood at best. If it’s real wood, most animals, with a few exceptions here and there, cannot directly digest it.

Wait, basil?

Rosemary, I get (and also thyme, btw), but basil? At best, the dried out stalks of a basil can look a bit woody, but that’s true for a lot of plants.
