Ok sorry, they did it once with a slightly different word. Using expat would have been kinda funny

Interesting how this article uses the word immigration a bunch of times but never to describe an American moving to Europe.

You see the registration problem in so many places. If the username is an email, the proper way to validate it without revealing if an account exists is to accept any email address and if it already exists say that in the registration email you would send anyway. With the appropriate throttling if needed.

Network tab: server returned an html page with the words “Something went wrong.”

When I get into someone’s car who doesn’t use streaming (usually someone older). Almost everyone listens to the same 3-4 stations which put on the same 20-30 songs on a loop.

As someone who likes menthol, I am really sad I cannot eat toothpaste.

You might be onto something

Greek: Ναι (ne) means yes. Greeks often move their head up and down to say yes.
Bulgarian: Не (ne) means no. Bulgarians often move their head up and down to say no.

So if someone says ne and moves their head up and down it could be a Greek saying yes or a Bulgarian saying no. In reality the movements are not the same but it would probably be confusing to an outsider.

It’d be fine if that was the case. Right now if you don’t like it you’re still forced to read (and often review) AI generated rumblings, communicate with LLMs instead of humans when contacting support, accept AI-specific terms even you won’t use the AI part of a product, have data centers pollute your city and pay ridiculous amount of money for a stick of ram.

For a bit more control check out the alternatives list too. URLCheck is awesome

Some ideas:

• Chill out inside
• Get some frogs (or other butterfly-eaters of your choice) and carry them around at all times
• Move to a concrete jungle where all annoying natural life has been exterminated

As a kid I had a short phase where I was obsessed with stickers and wanted to stick them on every part of the house. Seeing this I’m glad my parents didn’t let me.

Since it says per person per km I assume it only counts modes moving people? So not transportation of cargo or emergency services. Of course these should be counted in a different way and I don’t think anyone would suggest replacing emergency or medical planes with any other mode of transport regardless of emissions. A source for that graph would be nice though, so we actually know what was counted.

Surprised ferry by car is so low. Cars seem to take up so much space on ferries even when they’re much fewer than the passengers.

Jacket pockets: phone, gloves, an id, emergency cash.
Daily: my backpack, which has so much mildly useful shit in it that it’s pointless listing here.

That’s a cool site. Apparently 2 out of 9 coins in my pocket are German. German coins are actually so common I thought they were the default design and didn’t belong to a country.

A self-driving pod arrives whenever you tap your phone

You mean a taxi? Is the futuristic part that self-driving taxis will be cheaper than human-driven taxis?

Imagine being isolated and not believing the news for months like the Spanish soldiers in the Philippines

I haven’t tried learning Japanese (precisely because of Kanji) but what you’re describing in English is also the hardest part of English. There are plenty of languages where you can easily spell and pronounce words you’ve never seen before.

There were some smaller ones on the other sides. Definitely a work in progress
