rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.ml•How the automobile industry turned us into SUV drivers12·11 months agoMaybe that perception is skewed by America’s culture of having ridiculously large cars. European cars were always smaller, but nowadays it’s getting pretty hard to buy something other than an SUV here, too.
rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does Rhubar count as a portmanteau of rhubarb and bar?4·11 months agoConsidering my country famously refused to take part in the Iraq war and declared me unfit for service during draft (which was compulsory), that would be quite strange.
rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does Rhubar count as a portmanteau of rhubarb and bar?10·11 months agoMy first thought is that it sounds like a portmanteau of rhubarb and fubar. Which is bad.
That depends on your definition of “united”, doesn’t it? The United States of Mexico or America are definitely “united” into one country, i.e. there aren’t really any serious secessionist movements, nearly all citizens speak the country’s main language etc. The USA are politically divided, but the divide doesn’t follow state borders that closely and many states are still swing states or flipped in the last 1-3 decades.
rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.ml•Official bilingualism in Canada a 'myth,' says new poll8·11 months agoKnowledge of the two official languages is largely determined by geography. Nearly 95% of Quebecers can speak French, but only 40.6% speak English. In the rest of the country, 97.6% of the population is capable of speaking English, but only 7.5% can speak French.[89]

Jesus fuck, those numbers are abysmal.

Knights were typically rich assholes themselves!
rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If your mind got transported back 10 years right now with no time to prepare, how could you exploit your knowledge for personal gain?3·11 months agoIt’s mostly just a recent issue that popped up. I’m currently running Ubuntu 20.04 (i.e. version from 2020, there have been two major releases since then) and since I use LUKS, resizing the boot partition is going to be fairly complicated, if I can figure it out at all.
rumschlumpel@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If your mind got transported back 10 years right now with no time to prepare, how could you exploit your knowledge for personal gain?16·11 months agoNothing. No money for investments then or now, which is also why I never kept up enough with stocks, crypto etc. to be able to cheat the market as a one-time time traveller. Plus I have several medical issues (then and now) that remain unsolved mysteries.
Only thing I can think of is using a bigger boot partition when I installed reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch about 5 years ago.
What am I looking at here? I’m not that well-versed in current-day warfare.
TBH my college time went pretty badly. Being able to get good grades throughout highschool with minimal effort really came back to bite me in college.
Anyone remember Rammstein’s frontman’s sexual assault allegations?

I found a PDF of that email chain, first entry on page 18: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929/09132019142056-0001.pdf (the ordering of emails is basically backwards, i.e. oldest entries at the end).
Meh, I have already have IBS.
It might be indestructible, but it’s not impervious to dirt. Which isn’t even an issue for the phone itself, it’s just gross.
A lot of the time, the fundamental issue is the lack of information provided by the poster. I’ve seen so many threads where the provided information just isn’t enough, and they don’t react to any of the questions at all.
AFAIK it already did happen to Linux, it’s just not as widespread (both Crowdstrike on Linux, and desktop Linux).
