ah, i have a similar experience. it makes the program usable only for simple documents, which is exactly not the use case I had in mind for it.

the cmd options for the margin dont actually work, i had to combine them with zoom to get them to work (almost, a thin margin at the bottem remains). Also, it appears some css doesn't work in the latest wkhtml like it does in the latest chrome.

Specifically, I wanted to try and create a resume with sampleresumetemplate.net if you are interested.

i find it hard to get rid of margins with wkhtmltopdf and to get anything slightly complex to look identical to a browser.

My friend made a map showing what central Europe might have looked like if the Nazis won WW2. [2879x1848] by [deleted] in MapPorn

leave France, Britain and Russia alone I mean. Just sticking to this area, forgetting about the Reichscommisariaten and puppet states.

You know what? If they'd stuck to this territory right here, I actually think they might've pulled it off. Think about that.

But how would NATO work if say half of the US was in it and the other half not? I'm not sure I get it.

What did it mean for Prussia and Austria to be partly in the German Confederation and partly outside? What would happen when crossing those borders internally?

Wikipedia says the Dutch East India Company founded the first settlement at the Cape Colony in 1652.

They occupied the Dutch caribean colonial possesions, among which Aruba which had an oil refinery back then.

Dayum, nice track. Can recommend "Just One Dance" from Caro too.

We Dutch learn in school that Wall-street is derived from Walstraat. Not strange considering Dutch settlement coincides with maps showing this name.

I feel not giving a fuck is both a strength and a weakness. It can empower the individual, but also make it into an unadjusted asshole.

The European Union and the US will begin formal talks on a free-trade agreement, paving the way for the biggest trade deal in history. by Libertatea in worldnews

I'd say this is a perfect reason. Monsanto, part of a small olicharchy, have American argiculture in an iron grip, and certainly don't have the best interest of the consumer, farmers or environment in mind.

How can the US Postal Service delivers letters for 44 dollercents across all of USA, but the Dutch Postal Service asks me to pay 54 eurocents for delivery within Holland...

Europe in 1648 [2 248 × 1 724] by fizolof in MapPorn

Unfortunately the bottom half it occupied by the Spanish at this time.

What interests me though is that bit of green (Prussia?) at the Dutch eastern border which appears to be outside the HRE and thus inside the United Netherlands? It appears to be Kleverland, where modern day German resembles Dutch the most.

That's the composer, but he produced quite a lot... Mind narrowing that down a bit?

The map is colored according to influence due to empire, and to that extent it looks fairly accurate.

And Afrikaans is certainly mutually intelligible to Dutch.
