What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?

  • You grab the neck of the bottle tightly with your dominant hand so your finger a thumb is holding the cap tightly. Then you take the lighter in the other hand and wedge it in between the dominant hand and cap. Squeeze tightly and use the lighter as a lever.

  • Cigarette lighters don't explode that violently if they're punctured. The greatest hazard would probably be getting plastic in your eye. If you do it wrong the lighter usually just gets scratched.

  • In Germany it was opening a beer bottle with anything you just happened to have in your hand at that time.

    This goes for Denmark too.

  • I'm Danish. Opening beer with a lighter or other things that aren't technically a bottle opener.

  • Thank you for elaborating. I honestly didn't notice the "4" in the first comment and thought it just said "Fallout in space", so that's where my comment came from.

  • I thought that was "The Outer Worlds"?

    Edit: a word.

    • Do you like waffles?

    Jump

  • I like waffles and pancakes but I'm not a fan of french toast.

    • Do you believe in God?

    Jump

  • No. I usually call myself an agnostic atheist and follow it up with this thought: say humanity some day, somehow sends a man or a robot to explore a black hole and at the very bottom of that black hole there is an old door with a doorbell. We ring the doorbell and soon after an old man opens the door and says: "oh, there you are. I'm God, come on in". I think it would be kind of arrogant to just dismiss him immediately and say "no you're not! God doesn't exist!" That's why I'm not just a hardcore atheist.

    • Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?

    Jump

  • Have you tried Overload?

  • Elder scrolls V: Skyrim. I got into gaming at a pretty high age(31yo) even though I had played a bit when I was younger, but I wouldn't consider myself a gamer before Skyrim.

    • 🙃😵💀

    Jump

  • Yes, we do. They're in the fridge in the supermarket, usually next to the milk.

    • Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?

    Jump

  • I believe Dell even has some models that come with Linux preinstalled.

    • They might do a remake so it's time to buy Oblivion on PC in case it becomes unavailable

    Jump

  • I just checked. I have it on both Steam and GOG. But I've actually never played it.

    • Don't do it

    Jump

  • 🤣 it's been too long since I saw that movie!

    • Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

    Jump

  • Ah, yes! The very hyped new Garfield game! I can't wait to eat virtual lasagna and complain about Mondays.

    • Don't do it

    Jump

  • It's a scooner!

    • The era of cheap streaming is officially over

    Jump

  • I believe they have a high quality streaming option that some audiophiles prefer.

  • Spotify/apple/etc don’t produce music and are not trying to out license each other.

    Tidal seemed to try going down this road with exclusives but thankfully none of the others followed.
