How do YOU say gouda?

@ohryan Nothing!

Wild that a non-zero number of people were in favour of someone being able to prevent other people from using images of the Nebra sky disk

Also the fact that the court is funded by the state and can also side with the state sure doesn't seem fair.

I've come to realise that non-tech-savvy people reading mainstream news sources about tech news might be the bane of my existence. Not the people, but the reading. I don't need MSN burying the lede and confusing people when it comes to upcoming changes to a platform's authentication methods, CBC fearmongring about password leak, or Fox News confidently telling everyone to “just clear your cookies”

Smartphone is not a computer in your pocket.

Computer is a desktop sized smartphone.

Toasted sesame seeds are basically savoury sprinkles

@sabbatical Might have to give this a watch if only because there's a character named Levi

Once, someone told me that I lived under a rock because I didn't know a certain pop-culture reference. Nay, we all live under different rocks.

When someone says “lets go Dutch” I assume that means “let’s put our klompen on and take the feits to the patatzak or get an ijsje op strand"

If someone from a place that allows recording without consent calls someone in a place that requires consent and records the call, are punishable?

"How was dinner out?"

"It was faux phở"

@progo Kinda fun!

Every year on my birthday, I remember the time I was laid off from a job—which I was not great at but holding onto for the sake of keeping a job—on my birthday. Except this year, where I just remembered it now. I guess that means I got over it?

I'm all in favour of post-consumption variable-cost donations, like the value for value method, but saying things like "less than 1% of listeners contribute" every single episode is cringe as the kids say

@progo Kinda feels like it should be!

AFAIK you can’t have letters like ß or ij in a legal Canadian name. If my name was meant to have one I would flex that so hard

Gotta love it when you show up at the sister-in-law’s for Thanksgiving dinner and she immediately hands you the baby and a carrier and says babe needs a nap
