  • I do the same. I get unreasonably annoyed by the horrible translations. I'd rather just have the original bad English.

  • I remember when IBM translated hard disks as "rigid disks" in French for some reason, in defiance of the established usage.

    • I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement

    Jump

  • Asbestos is a great way to prevent the glue on your pizza from catching on fire !

    • Maldives bans entry of Israelis in ‘resolute solidarity’ with Palestinians

    Jump

  • Well, Palestinians are free to visit Maldives whenever they like and even get a complimentary souvenir magnet. Better?

    I'm not sure what you expect tiny countries to even do apart from symbolic gestures.

    • Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined

  • The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.

    Well, they're consumer friendly, so of course the US won't have them.

    • I can't believe it

  • Microplastics and peas. Very traditional.

    • Don't be a quitter

    Jump

  • It's the same here. When someone tests positive they're brought back to the station to a machine that's actually calibrated and can be used as evidence (sometimes it's in the back of the van if they're doing a lot of testing, but it's not carried in a car).

    • Don't be a quitter

    Jump

  • It still blows my mind that they're apparently commonly used in the US instead of breathalysers like everywhere else.

    Of course they're also using polygraph tests. So at least they're consistent in using shit testing methods.

    • This Week in KDE Apps

    Jump

  • I never really used its find function. Whenever I searched for something, my first idea would always be to open a shell.

    It's a bit silly since kde spends so much energy indexing stuff though. I really should give it another try.

    Jump

  • I have my doubts, but you're right, maybe it does.
