China could stand to be more humane, but it wouldn't make the US cooperate with them.

That's less the Unix way and more the BeOS way.

In some cases you can replace a pun with another pun that works in the target language.

In other cases, where you're translating a religious text, doing something for scholarly reasons, or you otherwise think your audience would really like to know what's going on in a text you have to add a translation note.

That sounds absolutely fine to me.

Compared to an NVME SSD, which is what I have my OS and software installed on, every spinning disk drive is glacially slow. So it really doesn't make much of a difference if my archive drive is a little bit slower at random R/W than it otherwise would be.

In fact I wish tape drives weren't so expensive because I'm pretty sure I'd rather have one of those.

If you need high R/W performance and huge capacity at the same time (like for editing gigantic high resolution videos) you probably want some kind of RAID array.

Where so many other cities have decided that they can't have public benches Vienna has decided to put in public hammocks:

While I'm sure there's some that are worse than others I'm pretty sure every conflict has involved widespread rape.

Someone please correct me if you can. It would help me like humanity a little bit more.

Low-end food is apparently way cheaper in the UK than in North America:

There's been inflation since that video went up, so the prices aren't quite that good anymore. There are more recent videos from that channel you can watch to see more current prices though.

Some LED bulbs have glass globes, though they are mostly plastic, especially the cheap ones.

Have you tried Swiss water process decaf?

If not it might be worth a shot.

I think just erasing the politics from Disco Elysium to replace it with alps witch is a stupid idea, but there have just been so so so many games where you play as a depressed middle age man. A dude who, plot twist, is destructive to himself and others, and who we try (and sometimes fail) to help become less destructive over the course of the plot.

Off the top of my head in no particular order:

• God of War
• Max Payne
• Allan Wake
• BioShock Infinite
• The Last of Us 1
• Silent Hill 2
• Red Dead Redemption

There's nothing inherently wrong with that type of character or plot of course, there are some kickass games in that list, but I can understand wanting something else at this point.

It needs a port that you can attach your bag of caffeinated noodles to.

I don't think I would have brought a new person into the world during any of the other time periods you mention either.
