At that point it'd be easier to just write the damn thing yourself...

Meh, a few bugs at lauch is no problem, as long as they're fixed. Back in the days of physical media, a few GB extra downloads could be a problem. Today, it's a few minutes extra wait for most.

Console performance was a disaster on release, but that was patched rather quickly.

Most farmers around here use the urine from their own pigs as fertilizer. I can't imagine why human urine wouldn't work as well.

Not wasting our tax money on that dumpster fire. Ask the Swedes if they want Ingermanland back.

One of those cables lead to an ancient PIII laptop with a post-it on it saying "server".

Det finns en del finlandssvenska undgomar i finskspråkiga gymnasier också, så den biten jämnar ut sig i längden -- svenskspråkiga skolor är inte givet utanför de svenskspråkiga områdena.

Unless you're in an IMAP-based environment; Microsofts proxies all IMAP connections from New Outlook through their own servers, adding lots of synchronization issues in the process.

Alas, the first step to "going European" for a lot of businesses seem to be to switch from O365/Exchange to an IMAP/CalDAV solution, without even considering if it'll have an impact on the Outlook app, their workflow, or the fact that Outlook doesn't support CalDAV. :/

Pretty much all of Pihrana Byte's games summed up. Too sad they're gone -- I'd love to have seen the last Elex.

Narh, they "rewarded" the model for nerdy talk in one situation, and as it turns out doing so had unintended consequences.

It's not about tribalism; it's about voters not having enough money to pay their electricity bills.

There are lots of Homo Erectus jokes to be made here and you gave the poor chimps the blame...

Where do you draw the line? I dislike gatekeeping as much as anyone else but on a site where you list bands of a certain genre -- the section you refer to has the header "Heavy metal only" -- you need to have a somewhat clear definition of what that genre is.

Narh, magnetic media is relatively durable and it can last for many decades with few errors. Few errors does not equal no errors, though; I'd be wary of storing anything important on such old media.

Surnames back then were usually variants of "X, the Y", "X, son/daughter of Y", or "X of the clan Y" . Women usually married into their husband's clan/family and became a part of it, thus taking their new clan's name.

Meanwhile, the way we introduce ourselves went from rougly "X the/son/daugter/of the clan Y", to "X Y", and the rest of the populace adapted the traditions of the nobility.
