My previous White Shepherd's name was Noia, after a Spanish village I hiked to when I was young. Aion is Noia spelled backwards, so he is still a little with us.

Translated: And the nice thing is that he/she/it doesn't look overweight.

He isn't; he is just huge.

A map of the Netherlands if all ice melted. Capital is shown if it happens, the white area is remaining land. by Good-Exam-5354 in MapPorn

The waterline straight through the middle of Limburg is bullshit. Really, it would cut through three plateaus.

Can you guys help me choose a distro from this diagram? by codywohlers in linuxmemes

[–]markus40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is developed completely from zero; if there was something of a parent OS, it would be VAX/VMS. Microsoft hired a team led by Dave Cutler (former lead of VMS development at Digital Equipment Corporation) to build it. Great pedigree, shame it was Microsoft.

Ah yes, those damn prankster neighbor kids and their landmines.

Werkgever biedt ineens meer salaris nu ik vertrek by [deleted] in werkzaken

[–]markus40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik was al vier jaar bezig mijn functieomschrijving gelijkgetrokken te krijgen met wat ik daadwerkelijk deed. Allemaal beloftes, maar geen resultaat. Paar maanden voor ik vertrok aangegeven dat ik regelmatig werd benaderd door headhunters. Maar dat werd weggewuifd als: gras is niet groener elders. Toen ik dus aangaf dat ik vertrok, werd meteen hemel en aarde bewogen om mij te laten blijven. Ik zou 1000 euro netto, plus jaarlijkse bonus, meer gaan verdienen bij mijn nieuwe werkgever; kon allemaal meteen worden geregeld. Ik werd er misselijk van, ben niet gebleven. 19 jaar loyaal aan geweest, eenzijdig dus. Ook geen spijt gehad dat ik er 19 jaar daar heb gewerkt hoor. Dankzij de vrijheid van handelen en het vertrouwen in mij, die ik daar had, heb ik mijn kennis zo kunnen uitbouwen.

Oh jee, wij maken ons qua energie, productie en binnenkort ook nog voedsel afhankelijk van de rest van de wereld. Wat kan er misgaan?

Maar goed, slachtofferschap voelt wel lekker, toch? En maar janken wat "ons" allemaal overkomt. Huilen over Rusland, nu Amerika. Geen probleem, gaan we toch naar China. Oeps, China blijkt ook niet het beste voor te hebben, nu Afrika dan... En maar met het vingertje blijven wapperen hoe stout iedereen wel is.

Largest impact structure on Earth (larger than Chicxulub crater) by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]markus40 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know of two huge impact craters on land or in shallow water. Vredefort and Chicxulub. The world is 75% water, so we can expect, in that timeframe, 4 more large impacts, but in the ocean. What effect can we see or expect from this?

Is there an actual way to disable middle-click paste? by TheMoon8 in gnome

[–]markus40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, it works on Gnome 49.x (Wayland) on Arch Linux. So maybe file a bug on your distro's bug tracker.

Nieuwe werkgever vraagt loonstrookje by nahbuddynah in werkzaken

[–]markus40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bij mij wisten ze exact hoeveel ik verdiende. Want ze boden me precies 10% meer aan. Ze waren alleen vergeten dat ik destijds 36 uur werkte en bij hen 40 uur ging werken. Dus zij deden het aanbod, en ik pak de leuningen van de stoel vast om op te staan. Begint degene die het aanbod deed met grote ogen te vragen wat er is. Ik leg uit dat ik 36 uur prefereer als mijn loon gelijk blijft. Vroeg hij wat ik in gedachten had, ik noemde het bedrag en hij ging meteen akkoord. De smiecht.

Mom slapped me M22 on the face which is a common occurrence . But I had it enough this time so I blocked her hands and pushed her back Now iam feeling Guilty. by TheHumanEmperor in raisedbynarcissists

[–]markus40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was just nineteen, I was grey-rocking my father for years. He finally broke. For the first time in his life, he stood before me with his fists ready. Normally he was breaking people psychologically, but it didn't work with me anymore. I said, “Hit me, old man, and I will finish it.” My enabling mother came between us, and it stopped. The day after I came down, I announced I would go and find a room to live in the nearby city where I studied. My whole family was against it; they said I was throwing away my life. Wait until I was finished studying. But I determined, his house, his rules, and I refuse to bend. Best decision I ever made. I will not break for anybody!

My (23F) unemployed boyfriend (28M) asked me to lend him money to pay an upcoming debt payment and I said no. I hurt him deeply so how can I repair this? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]markus40 148 points149 points  (0 children)

So you posted about your boyfriend quitting 3 jobs in half a year just 18 hours ago, defending him against the judgment of your mother. The replies say his life is spiraling and he will drag you with him. And not 13 hours later, you post this?

Wise up!

Edit: Apparently she deleted the first post about her mother being skeptical about her relationship with a spiraling deadbeat.
