It’s just: “De man is dood”. We don’t capitalise nouns, only proper nouns like names and places (same as in English). Germans do, but that language is even weirder than ours. 😋

Ah, the good old Negerküsse (German) or Negerzoenen (Dutch), translated: Negro Kisses. In the Netherlands they’ve been renamed to Kisses 2 decades ago, for obvious reasons.

Edit: ffs, I hate not being able to use the N-word for a factual statement.

Personally I solved it by plugging in a wired headphone in my laptop. Fuck Bluetooth, it’s never worked in a stable fashion for me these past 25 years or so, no matter what devices or OS I use. 3.5mm jack and USB remain the superior choices.

Driving stick is still the norm here. Learned it in a Suzuki Swift, which did not do honour to its name.

Zwarte Piet has nothing to do with Christmas, it’s part of Sinterklaas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas). While Santa Claus was based off this character, its an entirely different festivity.

Scotty will simply beam all of them in the transport buffer until their patterns decay beyond any recognition. Just make sure he flushes the buffer when he’s done.

It’s almost as if he is just a Trump lackey without the slightest idea of what he’s talking about…

I do wonder how many hours you need to microwave yourself to get a crispy, dried out face like that by the way.

Watch your genetically inferior tongue, Freebirth!

That would be a Timber Wolf I suspect.

Probably filled with positive ions to offset those negative woke vibes. If you can’t reason with them, blasting them with alpha particles should man 'em up, right?

Carmageddon was created by the British studio Stainless Games. Not just European, but also part of the EU back in the days.

Well, hello fellow rebel!

The first thing I always do is turn 120Hz off. The difference just isn’t meaningful enough to justify the extra battery drain. On a PC monitor sure, but on a phone I really don’t care if my feed scrolls a bit smoother.

As a man I distance myself so far from this post I’ve now advanced to the stars and beyond.

I’ve never heard that one before, in my circle we call it a military shower.

I can tell from experience that doesn’t work. Fortunately, because I’d be heartbroken if a little critter like that showed up, knowing I’d have to live on the streets from that point on as I can’t be in the same house as a cat. 😞

If they are using their ISP’s DNS server they probably don’t even need to use DoH or DoT, just switching to a independent DNS server is often enough. But yeah, otherwise using an encrypted DNS connection should also fix this.

Yeah, and I can’t believe Liberace was gay. I mean, women loved him! I didn’t see that one coming.

Can you tell that to my pair of AirPods Pros? The amount of times only one of the in-ears decides to connect to my phone or laptop is just plain infuriating. All those devices support Bluetooth 5.0, but reliable is not the word I’d use to describe my experience.

Same for stuff like file transfers between my phone and laptop, I’m sick of that generic “file transfer failed” message without any helpful hint as to what went wrong this time. A cable is reliable, Bluetooth is definitely not in my personal experience. Sorry.

But they are still using Bluetooth right? That’s a hard nope, it must be my personal dark aura or something, but Bluetooth devices just refuse to work reliably for me. I just don’t want to deal with that anymore.

I really miss the good old jack port, not only does it just work, you can both charge your phone and listen to something at the same time as I do often in the evening. Having the charging port double as the headphone connector is such a step backwards.
