I wanted to be smart and just use Bash pipes to get the result (basically: sed | xattr -n1 command_that_turns_binary_into_decimal | command_that_turns_decimal_into_char ) but I couldn’t get the xattr part to work :(

This would’ve been perfect for piping dammit! I had to do it by hand just now so I wasted in total like 30 minutes on this.

I rate my experience a 1/10

Ee’s eeee eeee eeeeeeeee eeeeeee ee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee eeee eeee eeeeee. Ee eeeee eee eee eeeeeeee, eeee ee.

That’s easy, you’re looking at 𝄽.

You’re welcome!

Is that even bread? Or that weird industrial sugar sludge sold in the USA?

Like, it’s way too shiny and smooth. Almost looks like plastic.

Explanation for those who don’t want to watch the video:

To be fair, school lunches aren’t free in Germany.

Technically they could be considered free if you factor in monthly child benefits (currently at 259€ per child) or parents further qualify for social assistance.

That liquid is called public swimming pool water you accidentally swallow.

Wikipedia isn’t important because of its data. Rather because of the fact it is continuously updated, extended, and fixed at a gigantic scale.

If Wikipedia ever dies, its information will lose relevance by the day. After a decade or two without a similar-scale replacement, will anyone even care?

prevent historical comparisons

Which comparisons exactly are prevented?

I can say the AfD is a nazi party. I can say I believe they are very similar to the NSDAP 100 years ago. I can say they oppose the German constitution, especially the human rights provisions.

Same with Israel: I can say Israel is fascist. I can compare it to apartheid. I can say Israel has since its founding enageged in ethnic cleansing and genocide.

The only comparisons banned are those considered hyperbolic. I cannot say the AfD plans to commit genocide because they simply don’t. I cannot say Israel is repeating the Holocaust because it’s obviously not. Anything off an order of magnitude or more is iffy at best and illegal at worst.

Really though, it’s a mild annoyance at worst to comply with hate speech laws. Slightly adjust what you want to say and you’re fine. There are far, far more restrictive German laws that actually stifle free speech - such as the ban on “protective weapons” during protests combined with police violence not being prosecuted.

I prefer this:

Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among women:

1. Dusty Teal
2. Blush Pink
3. Dusty Lavender
4. Butter Yellow
5. Dusky Rose

Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among men:

1. Penis
2. Gay
3. WTF
4. Dunno
5. Baige

I … that’s not my typo in #5

Oh, THAT’S why the command is called “cat”.

Turns out my game was somehow not installed correctly. Because it’s a legacy game there is no uninstall option (which is what I would’ve tried) but you can right click the game in the grid -> Show Game in Explorer and delete the file to force a reinstallation. After reinstalling, the size of its .swf tripled.

I guess the game was downloading during the white screen and I must have closed and interrupted it.

But thanks for checking, I wouldn’t have discovered the solution otherwise!

Related question: Does the game “Mike Shadow: I paid for it” work for you on Linux? It doesn’t for me, except for the Infinite Cash Hack version.

Just curious because I discovered this game not working a couple days ago, will maybe report it as a bug.

I assumed this was created using some mobile phone editor that doesn’t support something this “advanced”.

But I agree, black font + white border (or vice versa) is ideal.

Unrelated, but I feel like brown is among the worst font colors they could’ve chosen for the caption.

You don’t even have to use something obnoxious like neon green. Other unobtrusive colors like black or yellow would’ve worked well without blending in at the bottom.

Also if the hive is in a region with harsh winters you’re gonna be thrown out in late autumn to die provided you remained a virgin.

A couple things:

1. Drones are male bees whose only purpose is fucking the queen and then dying. They’re not really in need of a union or maternal leave.
2. Even if this offer were for workers, it’s pretty empty too. Paid vacation, union rights and maternal leave are mandatory by law already over here. Also worker bees are female and cannot take maternal leave due to infertility (and presumable lack of adoption rights in the hive)
3. What if we overthrew the monarchy instead of joining it? Jkjk… unless?? 😳

By fucking obviousness.

At least that’s what a court would rule, likely with more formal terminology.

I’d purchase one if it 100% reliably cleaned both me and itself after use, without any (further) user interaction.

Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.

For the record, Google returns it as the top result.
