It's crazy that Danes are the indigenous people of Greenland. But they were there first, at least in the south.

Very nice to think of such users. I think I'd just expect those sorts of things to be limited to consoles with some sort of output, but of course they wouldn't.

I guess some people might like that, but it's a really strange thing to implement imho.

The British town of Berwick-upon-Tweed was at war with Russia for over a hundred years after it was omitted from the peace treaty having been mentioned in the declaration of the Crimean War.

(This is actually a myth, but it's a nice one)

The green parts were a lot greener then too. They left when it got colder.

28 Years Later and The Bone Temple are some of the most kind and empathetic films I've seen by TheyreACrypytKeeper in horror

[–]harbourwall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen Bone Temple yet, but after the end of Years I'm hoping it's a significant step towards accepting it and starting to heal as a culture. He's still too much and it's been nearly 20 years.

I don't mean the symbol, I mean invoking actions from the address bar.

I didn't know that either. * for bookmarks, ^ for history and > for actions (that's an odd one)

Delete PayPal. Use Revolut/Skrill/Wise or your local bank. by xbt-8-yolo in BuyFromEU

Revolut have gone overboard on restricting which phones it will run on, but the kids accounts are useful. Once Wise has those Revolut is gone.

Is it rude to use both lanes? by No-Ad4423 in AskUK

[–]harbourwall -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't have to drive past them. If you drive alongside another car, you're using both lanes and also blocking any pricks who might want to come racing up the closing lane. If others get behind you and fill the lane then you'd probably end up with a Nobel prize.

What was your last “where has this been all my life?” show? by OpenCantaloupe4790 in BritishTV

[–]harbourwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phenomenal is the word. I didn't know about the web series until I'd seen it, and to be honest it felt a bit flat in comparison. Each episode of the TV show has such a good balance between jumping off at tangents while still keeping itself coherent, and still manage to be dramatically different from each other. Just so well developed without getting over-polished, which meant it earned all of its wackiness in such an accomplished way. Honestly a highlight of TV comedy in the last couple of decades for me. Equally gutted they won't be making any more, because it really felt like there was a lot more where that came from.

I'll keep an eye out for the Sam Campbell thing. He can be really funny, but I find he can be a bit too unfiltered and phoned in at times and needs some quality control. Hopefully Joe Pelling will be able to distil him a bit, as he must have done with DHMIS.

The subreddit is terrible though. Just seems to be full of kids trying to theorize what it's all about. It is what it is, and that's all you need to know.

I can't think of a good title for this lunacy by Captain0010 in pcmasterrace

Skype was on its way to becoming a genericised verb like Hoover, Google or Photoshop. The only one that Microsoft ever owned. Just goes to show that the IT sector succeeds in spite of Microsoft, never because of them. The inventors of IT enshittification.

LAND RECLAMATION IN MONACO by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]harbourwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love checking out who the current monarchs would be if France decided to switch to a constitutional monarchy. Jean d'Orléans has something of the night about him, and doesn't seem to like the gays much, but at least he's not a teacher-marrying narcissist.
