Can’t I be both nerd and juggalo?

Also making seitan from flour is super easy. If I could get my hands on pure gluten it would be insanely easy. Maybe not as rich in taste as soy meat, but so much cheaper than store bought meat analogues.

One of four. The rest have been queues or first come, first served.

I know. That’s why I said it’s a bit weird that we could skip the queue. On the other hand, the fact that decades long queue times are necessary instead of more, affordable housing being built is also a problem.

One apartment I lived in was rented out by a private landlord, and there we had the option to write a personal letter/application which would allow us to skip the queue if we matched what they were looking for. We had just become a family of three and they wanted more families with children so we were approved. That was completely voluntary though. In honesty, I think it’s kind of weird that we could jump the queue but we were no longer allowed to live in my student apartment so we jumped on it.

I’m a Swede living in Denmark. Not a thing in Scandinavia, apparently.

That’s sad. There could be so many reasons for disagreements. As long as you paid you shouldn’t be forced to do this. Best of luck.

Huh. Here we have registries for people who habitually don’t pay on time, with a cooldown once they’re caught up. If you’re not in the registry it’s assumed that you’re good.

References for renting? What sort of dystopia is that? I’ve never heard of that concept, luckily.

I don’t know which one this is from, but god I love Don Rosa comics!

It’s UWQHD. It’s higher than fullHD, so it is high def by definition.

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.

Yes! I forgot about this one! The absolute confidence despite being so ignorant is really, really infuriating!

Reminds me of some 20 questions-like tv trivia where someone asked “is it an animal” and the other went “well, not exactly an animal”. It was a bird. 😳

That’s good to know. And in the premise of this thread it’s relevant. However, since we’re used to sentence case now, it still makes sense to keep it that way unless there’s a compelling reason to switch.

On the other hand, street signs in Sweden, where I come from, are uppercase. I was completely used to that despite reading mostly sentence case in any other situation. However, since I moved to Denmark, where street signs are sentence case, I now feel like it takes slightly longer to parse signs when I go to Sweden. I guess if I’m correct, that’s a case for quick acclimatation, as this happened over only a few years.

They’re also way faster to read though.

It annoys me that they specify humorous and internet, even if neither of them is required for something to be a meme. Any idea is a meme if it proves successful in spreading among other people.

But whether we called them memes or not, by definition they were. The Selfish Gene came out in 1976, where Dawkins coined it as “a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation”.

And that’s totally fair, in my opinion. Speech has to flow in the language you speak, or you’ll sound like an idiot. As long as people don’t go around claiming to know and teaching others pronunciations for things that they themselves don’t pronounce the way that was intended.
