That’s a lot worse than getting pulled over with no driver’s license.

With how many B-52s that carried thermonuclear bombs and crashed, I’m glad the US didn’t accidentally nuke itself and other countries.

I can’t remember Skyrim or Fallout 4 releasing in that bad of a state and I’ve owned those games since release. Fallout 76 on the other hand… Yikes. I might also be completely wrong as years of playing with unofficial community patches may have clouded my memories. CP2077 had way more issues than just bugs at launch. Witcher 3 was buggy as well, but at least somewhat feature complete. I can kinda forgive jank in games if the product itself is compelling to me and I’m just a sucker for Bethesda-style RPGs. Will still be waiting for Starfield’s launch on GamePass before I buy it, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 had awful writing and that’s nothing that a patch can fix.

74% market share for desktop OS is actually a lot less than I thought. Guess macOS had a solid comeback

And they built the Burj Khalifa!

I have two landline numbers that came with my internet contract but I don’t have a phone connected to the modem. So whenever your scenario happens to me I just give them one of my real landline numbers. I’ve tried calling myself and you can actually hear it ringing as the caller but no one will ever pick up lol

Frankfurt Airport is very good when it comes to security screening. They even have those fancy new X-Ray machines where you don’t need to remove your electronic devices from your carry-on and such. The last few times I flew from there I got off the bus in front of the terminal and sat at my gate in less than 20 minutes.

Mich wundert es, dass überhaupt noch 200er nd 500er gefälscht werden. Die sind schon als Echtgeld extrem rar. Ich glaube ich habe in meinem Leben bisher 5 mal 'nen 200er und nur einmal einen 500€-Schein in echt gesehen. Als Fälscher würde ich mir eher 5er und 10er drucken und damit den Rest meines Lebens kostenlos Döner essen. Alles ab 20€ aufwärts wird ja mittlerweile bei den meisten Läden mit Stift oder UV geprüft.

Give me an A!

Ich bin immer noch salzig, dass ich nach über 12 Jahren auf Lases zu Lassmich wechseln musste. Ich bin ein großer Verfechter von offener Soße und stehe grundsätzlich hinter meinen Prinzipien, aber gleichzeitig muss ich auch eingestehen, dass ich mich ein wenig nach den alten Zeiten auf Lases sehne. Es gibt halt leider - zumindest bis jetzt - bei Weitem nicht so viele Inhalte, wobei mir jedoch sehr gefällt, dass selbst in politischen Unterlassmichs (community/sublemmy/whatever) ein bisher sehr zivilisierter Ton herrscht und selbst (für mich) kontroverse Meinungen mit sachlichem Diskurs empfangen werden.

Probably a gaming PC (as he mentioned Steam) without a display connected to it that’s used for game streaming using Parsec or other software like Sunshine. By the way, if you want to try that setup yourself make sure you get a dummy plug (HDMI or DisplayPort) for the GPU as Windows doesn’t really allow video capture if no display is detected.

Japan was unwilling to surrender for a long time even though Japanese cities got bombed on a near daily basis near the end of the war. The US gambled on, for a lack of a better word, the wow-factor of the atomic bomb. They guessed correctly that Japan’s leaders would assume that there’s no way in hell the US could produce another one of these “special” bombs. They dropped the second one to basically say: “Hey, we got a huge stockpile of these things so we can do this as long as you like”. Or to put it simply: It was a show of force. When Nagasaki got hit Japanese leaders were in a council meeting about the Hiroshima bombing and the Soviet’s declaration of war on Japan and even after the news arrived in Tokyo half the cabinet was still insistent on their own terms of surrender. They didn’t know how many more bombs America had and that fear played a huge part in Hirohito’s decision to end the war after more than 14 hours of debate that day.
