As sickening as this is I am pretty intrigued as to what clues they found through the bedsheets, sounds like some great detective work

Some good news finally, free roaming is so nice to have, it eliminates one of the many things you have to take care of before traveling somewhere else in the EU.

I can't get enough of these EU measures for bringing us closer together, this is what the EU should be

calamari is just squid in Greek, maybe English people learned about cooking squid from Greece since there's so many of them and the word for it just stuck

I don't have ADHD (afaik) but recently while I was making coffee, my brother told me something while the coffee was pouring from the machine, and after a while I turn and find it overflowing and leaking watered down coffee everywhere. It wasn't a fun start to my morning and it left me concerned for my short term memory lol

I don't agree with the no friends part, uni/college is one of the very few places in your life that it will be (relatively) easy as fuck to make good friends, partners and acquaintances.

You're depriving yourself of an amazing experience if you just burn through it like someone's after you and only care about grades.

I'm agnostic and live in the West, I just think it's pretty ironic how many of you praise Europeans burning the Curan and make fun of the more mature response to this, and then you defend yourselves saying they'd do the same

Pretty strong western bias in this thread

That's true if your store is on some street where people are passing by and taking a look, but if your store is deep in some forest somewhere then it might stay unnoticed forever.

This is the case right now, Lemmy needs better SEO so that normal people can stumble upon it

If God was on Linkedin, his profile would probably be much more humble than a large percentage of the user base

That lets him sleep at night

I also live in Greece. I'm generally pretty resistant to heat, I love the summer, but last week was too much for me. I worked from home to avoid commuting like that, and I constantly felt tired and heavy.

This week seems to be going fine thankfully

They already are, thousands during covid and people are dying already from climate change.

Idiocy is deadly

I haven't seen Kiki's Delivery Service, but it's been in my (incredibly long) mental watch list for a long time.

Taking a break is so essential to doing what you love well; while I was in uni I had the ability to schedule things the way I wanted. I still had many deadlines, but I could prioritize my life at any given point and then work extra hard to make up for that time. Now that I'm working though this isn't an option, you have to show up and you have to work for the designated hours that you're getting paid for. Fair enough, but this isn't a healthy way of working and living in general. One big vacation during the summer and a few strategically placed days off now and then throughout the year aren't enough to keep you inspired and motivated for the rest of the year.

It's a tough problem to solve unfortunately, mostly due to the fact that you're working with others that sometimes depend on you for something, and you're working for some product or service to be delivered to a customer that more often than not is rushing to receive it.

Open source projects are one good counter example of this, since communication with others is usually asynchronous and there is no entitled customer to sit over your head and ask "are we there yet" 50 times a day. They might be slower paced than corporations in some things, but the result is almost always better.

There are many reasons for that, but one of them might be the lack of burnout as well.

Just try using any modern framework/language/library/tool/whatever with the packages that exist by default in the Debian repository, it's impossible and a pain in the ass

The "ch" affricate (which is t͡ʃ in the IPA) is a mix of a voiceless alveolar stop component and a post-alveolar fricative component. Because "y" is palatal, you end up getting that post-alveolar fricative component through coarticulation.

I love how it was obvious what language I'm talking about without saying anything specific

Ironically my day to day experience was harder with Debian than Arch, it was a pain trying to find up-to-date packages for pretty much everything I needed

Just vote and protest.

No matter how much corporations and governments want us to believe that we're at fault, our contribution to the problem is negligent in comparison with oil companies and huge manufacturers. You can't tell someone not to have kids without even mentioning the real problem out there.

Just the fact that you think programming a car to stop at a red light is a one man task is enough to show how much you know about what you're talking about

Meanwhile language spec:

• Extremely high level description along with some implementation details you don't care about
• function signature
