They also made the best plasma TV’s back in the day!

Yep, can confirm.
I usually wait for seasons if it’s a show I don’t know when I will have time to watch, just to get it as freeleech.
It’s usually always there when I check after a few days.

Holy they look incredible! I can literally hear the sound of the crust

No, again, he said anyone that parrots it. If you keep repeating that argument over and over, then your are parroting it. That’s what parrots do; they repeat stuff.
If you are offended, then it’s time for some self reflection. That is not an ad-hominem, but a blanket statement and opinion.

And no, you’re being selective with the truth. You cherry pick bits of what he said to present your argument in a better light. I don’t entertain that, my friend.

Your last point is true, but again you are being selective with how you present it.

If I point a gun at you and say you die unless you do something against your personal morality, you’d most likely still do it. That is in the name of survival.
Yeah, you’ll be able to go to work tomorrow and make money because you’re not dead, but nobody can accuse you of doing it for profit. That is what you are in essence doing here and it’s a bad take in every possible way except morally.
Steam fought back and lost. They could morally tell Visa and MasterCard to pound sand and die with their heads held high, but I’m guessing they like you as my potential murder victim above, chose to keep existing instead.

He didn’t. He said people who parrot it are.
Unless you do, there is no reason to be offended. Up to you.

And no; realistically, if you lose Visa and Mastercard, you can close shop. Obviously it’s for profit, because a 99% reduction in turnover means all employees out of work.
Yes, I took that number out of thin air, but I know most people would never bother as that is what they have.
Maybe it’s different in your country.

Mine too!

Still local, small time with a few thousand customers. They don’t upcharge internet prices if you skip linear TV.
All emplyees are local and I see them drive around.

I don’t care how good your pitch is, Mr. Salesman at my door: I’m sticking with what I’ve got!

Spot on!

The moment music starts being split up between companies is the day I start pirating music again too.
My NAS and media NUC have soon paid for themselves from saving on streaming services. Adding music to it won’t cost me a dime.

Yeah they drive around all summer in Norway. Hear them once or twice a week.

Yeah we’re being royally shafted in the Nordics as well. It’s the downside of us only having one distributor in the whole region and being a relatively rich part of the planet.

Using Google to convert, these are the prices in CAD right now, all with taxes from a price finder:
Mario Kart: CA$132,78 (NOK 977)
Switch 2: CA$909,87 (NOK 6695)
Switch 2 bundle: CA$1012,35 (NOK 7449)

Let’s just say I’m keeping my Homebrewed Switch and PC and give Nintendo the middle finger for now…!

Am European, but not in the EU.
Wish I could do my part too

Heat up is slow for me, around 20 minutes, but I have it connected to a smart plug so I can fire it up remotely before I want it.
That’s the downside of dual boilers and E61, I guess…

Making the coffee itself is quite quick: Probably 3-4 minutes. That “slow” because I have the machine far away from the sink so I need to go back and forth a few times extra.
If I have a nordic roast, I would probably have to add a minute on average just to clean up the potential spray.

Hehe yeah, I thought about mentioning it when submitting but figured it wasn’t needed. Rookie mistake

Good for you, friend!

Totally agree.

The only rule I have in the kitchen is that there are no rules. Rules on what is allowed to mix in cooking are stupid.
You like pasta with boiled eggs and Nutella? You do you!

Taste is 100% subjective.

I’ve tried it on burger a few times and it just doesn’t fit me well, but on I always use it on pepperoni pizza and in my tacos.
That or mango.

7 years have flown by. Not married but with kids.

Oliven in Norwegian

He never said it is. Most people don’t think it is.
We want NATO as a security, should we ever need it.

It’s like paying for insurance: let’s hope you never need it, but are glad to should the need arise. It’s not hard to understand, mate.

We all hope NATO can sit idly by and make plans they never ever need to execute.

Pixels can have custom AVB keys so the bootloader can be locked after installing gOS.

Maybe on Apple (?), bur GrapheneOS supports my banking apps just fine. The only thing missing is Google Pay, which I don’t use anyways

What do you mean by all Euro languges having a shared Latin and Greek origin?

I’m no expert/linguist, but I thought Germanic, Slavic, Romance (Latin) and Uralic were completely separate branches of the Indo-European language tree, having very little to do with eachother.

Cheers
