People who like it hot can buy peppers, and they’re pretty easy to grow too. However, not everyone likes it spicy. A lack of peppers doesn’t make it any less of a taco.

I wouldn’t even call what they’re eating in Europe “tacos”.

Well we would. Stop gatekeeping!

I know. I have nothing against the format in general, as it’s plain text and will always be readable. I actually prefer it to Excel sheets, although a proper database is the nicest. It’s just annoying that someone chose comma, a super commonly used punctuation mark, as default field separator for csv.

Or use tsv or xsv and never quote a field again.

I think the wire ones usually do too. When they’re out of power and possibly if it rains, they go straight until they reach the wire, and then follow it home to dock.

GPS are very fancy ones, unless that’s changed since I last looked into it. A buried wire, “invisible fence”, has been the norm for all consumer grade ones I’ve seen.

I got Elder Scrolls: Online last summer when it was free on Epic. I love it! After playing for six months, I knew I wanted more and was willing to pay, so I got the latest chapter bundle (which includes all older chapters) for €19.79 on Steam. Absolutely worth it. I’ve since received two other DLCs for free just for playing the game. The lore of TES is just so good, and the environments in ESO look beautiful. There’s so much story in the quests too, so even if it’s an MMO, I can play it exclusively as a single player game that just happens to have other people in it.

Edit: The game is 10 years old this year, and there is more free stuff because of the anniversary.

I don’t think I’ve ever done that. I’ve always used normal punctuation, except for in my teens, where we all used ellipsis (…) at the end of every sentence to indicate that more was coming. ICQ was the shit. Messaging apps even copied this by adding a bouncing ellipsis when you’re typing. Maybe that’s why we stopped using it.

If that’s the case, I agree that it’s a bit strange.

But isn’t that exactly why it’s called loan words? In Swedish we’ve borrowed words like radio and nylon and we initially pronounced them as in English. But eventually we started to pronounce them as the spelling would dictate in Swedish (the English pronunciations would’ve been spelled rejdio and najlon). For toilet it’s the opposite. We borrowed toilette from French, but eventually altered the spelling to match the pronunciation: toalett.

I’ll grant you that once we have adapted and incorporated the words, we are no longer borrowing them. Maybe we should stop calling them loanwords at that point. But while they’re still new and don’t yet fit in, I would say that borrowing sounds about right.

On another note, I can’t understand why a people wouldn’t want to make every word work in their language. You completely lose the flow of speech when you have to pronounce something that doesn’t fit naturally into it, and you either come off as a pretentious douche or a stupid person.

Really? That’s higher than I thought. I guess it’s increased steadily.

The definition for middle aged (edit: as I have heard it) has always been 40. Most people live until 80 or a little less, so it makes sense.

My 690 still works for many games. 🥲

Someone said in another comment that 440 ml is the default multipack can for the UK and that can plus contents add up to 1 lb that way. I don’t know if this is true. I could see US beer imported via UK being a thing though.

Edit: And if you mean whether I would expect 470 ml over 500 ml, then no. 500 ml is very much the European standard can.

A lot of imported beers come in 440 ml cans. US ones in particular. But I agree that it feels scammy, because we expect them to be 500 ml.

I didn’t know console games had subscription costs in ways the PC equivalents don’t. I’m a PC gamer myself, and wouldn’t buy a console precisely because it’s a unitasker. But the one task it does do well is couch gaming with a controller, and that’s not how I’d use a PC. Fair, if that’s someone’s thing, but I would just think a console was better for that usecase.

If you only play that particular game with a controller, sure. My point was that if you’re a controller player, I’d think you’d have a better time on a console, since they and their games are made for it. Mouse and keyboard controls with key remapping are the biggest reason I play on PC.

But LTT-Linus is 17 years younger and Canadian. O_O

Just like how most people playing Skyrim are playing without mods

Doubt.

Edit to expand: I honestly don’t think I would’ve played it if it wasn’t for mods. The interface is so blatantly consoley and clunky that every action takes way more effort than it needs to.

Also you can play with a controller on pc in most cross platform games.

Yeah, but why would you want to? If you’re going to play with a controller, why not just play on console?
