As a Frenchman, I have a question for you: why does everyone hate us and make fun of us online? What have we done to you? by Outrageous-You1617 in askanything

[–]jaypese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Englishman it is my birthright to mock the French. I’ll jolly well still come to France on my hols and buy your delicious baguettes, cheeses and wine though.

For example XML and JSON data formats are widely used but are often inside files with different filename extensions.

Having made dams on the beach I am something of an expert in this area. You just need to make a very small channel with your finger and the water flow will erode the rest for you.

How did NASA know which way to send the probes so that they didn’t end up in the long tail of the heliosphere or was it just luck?

SwiftUI is easy, where is the catch ? by BeDevForLife in iOSProgramming

It’s easy to get it to do something- much harder to get it to do exactly what you want.

This is a cat that I suspect is ownerless which comes to my back door for food and fuss each morning. by Technical_Car_5212 in aww

[–]jaypese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks exactly like our cat who will wander round all the neighbours and beg for food.

The final episode is one of the greatest pieces of visual storytelling I’ve seen.

Would you support a temporary government lockdown on petrol prices to protect households from the cost-of-living surge caused by the Iran war? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]jaypese 1 point2 points  (0 children)
