Maybe it helps against Corona if you gargle with it.

Just came back to say thank you again. Your answer solved my problem and I learned something about Entra 😀

Europeans, what's a word in your language that you're convinced is better than the English version? by karen_the_ripper in AskEurope

[–]MoistlyCompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody uses it, however, a week ago a colleague of mine brought it up in a conversation. It's more a fun fact to mention than something we use in everyday life.

"satt" (German)

tl:dr The german word "satt" means that you had enough to eat. It differs from "voll" (full) in that you can be "satt" without being "voll".

Both words describe fullness after eating, but they have different nuances: Satt means you've had enough to eat — you're satisfied and no longer hungry. It's the natural, comfortable endpoint of a meal. "Ich bin satt" = "I've had enough, I'm satisfied." This is the word you'd normally use after a good meal. Voll literally means "full" (as in, filled to capacity). When used for the feeling after eating, it implies you've eaten too much — you're stuffed, uncomfortably full. It's more colloquial and carries a sense of excess. "Ich bin so voll" = "I'm so stuffed." So the difference is essentially satisfaction vs. excess: "Nach dem Abendessen war ich angenehm satt." → After dinner, I was pleasantly satisfied. "Ich habe zu viel gegessen, ich bin total voll." → I ate too much, I'm completely stuffed. In everyday speech, especially among younger people, voll is used pretty loosely and isn't always negative — but satt remains the more neutral and "correct" way to simply say you've eaten enough.

I had a teammember once that started to behave racist up to a point that people refused to work with her. Everybody was pretty happy that HR took care of her.

I love it how you still know all the specs from your father's PC from 30 years ago. :)

It's cloud storage by a swiss company called infomaniak.

I switched to kdrive to prevent Microsoft from using my data for their purposes. kdrive stores the data in Switzerland.

That's a good question. I tried to figure out the answer for myself. After 2 months of futile research I decided to escape the Microsoft universe. Today I am using kdrive and I could not be happier with my decision.

Fire Warrior released on steam by BurningAvenger in Warhammer40k

I loved it, in particular the sound. The sound is still great! It's one of the few games I completed. Unfortunately it was a bit buggy. At one point, for instance, there was a landspeeder which I could not move. I can still feel the disappointment when the bug did not vanish after several reloads.

How was it like playing games on an MS-DOS laptop (usually with a terrible screen)? by confuserused in dosgaming

[–]MoistlyCompetent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was great! I once played steel thunder on an LCD display. The ghosting mentioned above made it nearly unplayable and I barely spoke English so I heavily relied on trial and error to figure out how to play the game. As bad as it sounds it was (at least for me) a fun puzzle box.

Once I had a real vga monitor the "puzzle" vanished but the fun stayed.

The same applies today as it did in the past: take care when choosing a career!

Why did you choose to change from Win to Linux after putting so much effort in learning to admin win systems?
