I seem to like games that require spreadsheets

Yes, that's true, but more of an edge case. Something like gasoline is commonly priced in fractional cents, tho:

I have no strong preference either way. I think both are valid and sensible systems, and it's only confusing because of competing standards. I think over long enough time, due to the internet, the period as the decimal separator will prevail, but it's gonna happen normally, it's not something we can force. Many young people I know already use it that way here in Germany

It makes sense from typographical standpoint, the comma is the larger symbol and thus harder to overlook, especially in small fonts or messy handwriting

No, 2,50€ is 2€ and 50ct, 2.50€ is wrong in this system. 2,500€ is also wrong (for currency, where you only care for two digits after the comma), 2.500€ is 2500€

"pray you get the printer set up" is more of a windows thing. For ten years, over three versions of windows, I couldn't get printing to work reliably. Switched to Linux, no problems since

Also, the new hardware thing is not really true anymore. Most things are supported from the get-go, or at least within a few weeks

Don't know how your get one from the other. I can think that state socialist experiments were flawed, misguided, and ultimately destined for autocracy, and still think that targeting them with imperialist intervention is wrong.

Just because the US empire is evil doesn't make everyone opposing them good. The world is not black and white.

Due to the myth of Hades and Persephone, the pomegranate is associated with the duality of life and death: https://greek.mythologyworldwide.com/the-symbolism-of-the-pomegranate-in-hades-and-persephones-story

I don't think there's any further link beyond a simple joke

Dropping paratroopers behind enemy lines without air- or logistics support? or directly into the sea?

Very sad, very sad

It's gambling. Highly complicated strategies exists, but at the end, it's gambling. And somehow we've let ourselves get convinced that's the way the world should be run

"defund the police!"

the monkey's paw curls another finger

... please elaborate

Same in German: Seeigel

And porcupine is Stachelschwein, literally "thorn pig"

They have the same momentum (the marble will kill you)

Found the cat

That's bad and all, but I can't blame them
