@Pat To add Dutch ones:

BTW: Belasting Toegevoegde Waarde, a tax on our products.
WTF: Werktijdfactor, the amount of hours a teacher works, basically. I always have to laugh whenever I see this in our internal mailinglist...

@JonathanMBR What.... what was this driver trying to accomplish?

If he actually wanted to topple the tractor: That went great!

@freemo Oh, and it can be any 2 coins, not any nearest to you or something? You just don't know which ones were north south etc before?

@freemo I'm not really understanding this setup. So there's a round table, with 4 boxes on them in cardinal directions, let's say. Each box contains a coin.

5 times the table is spun randomly, you dunno since you're blindfolded. Then when a spin's done, you can open the box closest to you to check the status of the coin. You can decide to put it heads or tails.

So that's 5 times you can do this, no clue if it's the same coin or not since it was random without you being able to observe it.

Then you have to come up with a strategy that guarantees in 5 rounds or less that all 4 coins will be the same facing? Is that another 5 rounds, or is that this one 5 rounds?

@aluaces Just curious if there's any reason to use an app instead of the actual site via a quick screen of your browser? Mastodon's interface is more than good enough for mobile.

@freemo Time to celebrate by going 20k miles under the sea? ;) You've got the dive gear!

@Pat Yeah, it's pretty impressive. It's almost the size of france I saw in one of the animations where this got overlayed over Europe.

@fribbledom Oh come on, in case of the same year they should give me a break. :P

@fribbledom Man, this ain't easy, streak is at 11 so far. Sometimes I'm like 'Is this seriously that old?!'

@davidrevoy The only valid item in any todo list is to not make a todo list.

@freemo To be fair, Earth is about 2/3rd liquid (and we're not talking about the water on the surface), and yet we still call it 'Earth' anyway. So Jupiter gets a free pass on the gas giant thing!

@freemo Are there many stray cats? Or are those normal cats who have a home and just wander around the streets?

@freemo Damn... sometimes I wonder who's the actor and who's the dog, or whether those are stunt doubles..

@freemo Just make sure to check beforehand whether that's the right gas in those tanks!

@sgryphon Ha cool. I've read a lot about the Discworld Emporium and their fancy packages. What'd you order? :)
