You can do it with any language where whitespace doesn’t matter and Whitespace

I don’t know if I’m typical, but neither desktop or laptop are ever fully off for me under normal circumstances, sleep mode is the default

It’s not unheard of there to be English language tracks that drop in random French, Italian or Spanish words and phrases

It’s just regular cultural exposure to other languages ultimately. No rule says you need to stick to one language in a song, so some musicians throw in some stuff from other languages they’ve heard, because why not

A number of banks here used to use a system like this a couple of decades ago. You’d get a card reader-calculator thing like in the pictures and there was a similar challenge-response flow. I’ve got no idea if they are even supported any more; I’ve definitely not seen one in a long time.

I remember “I’ll transfer you back when I can get my reader at home” and similar was not uncommon to hear

Background white noise from a fan seems to be the main thing that helps

Projection

And it’s not immigrants doing the terrorism

I’ve always wondered why Americans “take” things so much. “Take a shit”, “take a shower”, “take a look”

You “go for” or “have” those things in OG English.

Creative accounting would just make the margin zero for the purposes of the calculation. It’s a lot harder to magic away total revenue

Also the purpose of the fine is not intended to be a slap on the wrist, it’s intended to be a strong deterrent to ensure companies do everything they can to ensure the law is followed. Most companies won’t take the risk of skipping compliance on something that could wipe the business out

I wish

Rounded up on the 8h we’re supposed to get as I’m assuming these people aren’t going to bed with wet hair

Pretty Prince Andrew behaviour ngl

Most of us sweat, I think if you plan to interact with another person, it’s kinda basic decorum to not start your day with 10h of sweat on you already.

They just spent £1.3bn on building that office

Even the most egregious caricature of a union buster is gonna baulk at throwing that investment away

GDPR sets the example:

20 million euros

Or

4% of your revenue

Whichever is higher

The world was just not ready

This kinda reads as a list of things an obviously butthurt person would say

A chunk of them would just be pretty hilarious to say to me as an obviously big guy

Tax is the compromise

The French have a good historical case for what should happen if that fails

Late stage capitalism.

When it is already hard to save up and buy a house before it’s too late for you and your partner to be capable of conceiving, is it any surprise?

I know plenty of people who would have a kid but don’t because they simply can’t afford to

I basically don’t buy any game until it’s about 30 quid or less, with maybe one exception every couple of years

If they release a game at that price they’ll get the sale early, if they release at 60, I’m waiting for a sale with a deep discount

I prefer the gnu 2-in-1, in order to have a different implementation to the BSD version they optimised for speed over space.

We all know what happened to Napster, but I wonder what happened to the KaZaA and Morpheus and the other non-FOSS P2P networks

Y’know what? My brain replaced Chrome with Android and I went to the 2GB of AI model that they bundle with the OS now (maybe just pixel devices)

(Also before anyone fancies getting sanctimonious, Apple bundles a 3GB model with all their shit too)
