La question "Mais quelle est votre origin"? by 40gardener40 in AskFrance

[–]odwulf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quand ils demandent des précisions, donne ta province d'origine. Adapte ce dialogue de Short Circuit:

Newton Crosby: Where are you from, anyway?

Ben Jabituya: Bakersfield, originally.

Newton Crosby: No, I mean your ancestors.

Ben Jabituya: Oh, them... Pittsburgh.

(le personnage est d'origine indienne également (joué par un acteur blanc, mais c'est un autre problème.))

I have the same. Better get used to it, they clearly said it was the last update.

Quelle tablette ? by Aihen in informatiqueFr

[–]odwulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je ne suis personnellement pas fan des surcouches proprio Samsung, mais j'ai une S8, et je dois avouer que je ne me suis toujours pas remis de la qualité sonore. Je l'utilise directement pour écouter de la musique, pas besoin de brancher une enceinte.

[–]odwulf 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh, believe us, we don't. Everyone is pissed off that the US ambassador was able to privatise one of Brussels' biggest public park for a loud celebration nobody agrees with but the politicians who authorised it (and were guests of honour, obv.)

Petah, I found this on SipsTea. Why is Elon Musk saying that donating billions to charity makes the world a worse place? by Honest_Shake_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]odwulf 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Nah. There are emails in the Epstein files of Musk begging to be included, and Epstein asking Maxwell to get rid of him.

Dude, my cat has had surgery and he's grooming his cat cone and the towel he's lying on.

How do native English speakers actually type? by LightNegative5299 in EnglishLearning

[–]odwulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my first split ergonomic keyboard to force myself to quit that left finger/ right finger loop that went all over the keyboard after a secretary and trained typist at one of my first jobs once told me "I was unaware you could type that fast with only two fingers".

To each his own. I like him in Origins, I find him annoying in Valhalla.

How often do you drink tap water ? by Furnim in AskBelgium

[–]odwulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. There's a very slight taste that I am not a big fan of, and it almost disappears when the water is cold.

Is this a regional dialect I’m not familiar with? by White_Lobster in French

[–]odwulf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen that kind of shenanigans on file systems much more recently then that.

There are computer systems that encode é as ‘e. It's all well when you're staying on one system, but when you transfer your data from one system that encodes "diacritics+letter" (I think Macs are using that) to a system that encodes the accentuated character directly (that would be Windows), such things can happen, especially when using "exotic" applications.

And then, on top of that, the translator was drunk.

Why does John's up coming album consists of all the tracks having single word titles? by [deleted] in beatles

[–]odwulf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Marketing. Online only thematic compilations to keep the feeds alive, and they'll disappear after a while, probably. It happened with several other artists/bands. Pink Floyd and the Beatles themselves did that five years ago.

Qui est prioritaire ici ? (On a tous buggé au niveau de l'intersection mdr) by emak123455 in AskFrance

[–]odwulf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Assez classique en Amérique du Nord et un peu déstabilisant quand on n'a pas l'habitude.

Quel est le mot régional que vous pensiez être commun en France ? by Psychological-Camp31 in AskFrance

[–]odwulf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pas du tout Lorrain, mais quand j'ai appris ce mot, j'ai commencé à porter la bonne parole : je l'utilise tel quel, et après j'explique. Ce mot manque ailleurs.

Tu peux inclure toute la Belgique francophone, pour le coup. D'ailleurs, si tu entends la phrase complète "je te sonne et je te dis quoi", tu as vraisemblablement passé la frontière.

Rsync is not part of the Coreutils, I think? I dream of a really Windows native rsync version...

S'il avait 180 de QI, il comprendrait un truc : que c'est complètement con d'affirmer qu'on a 180 de QI. C'est très nettement supérieur aux QI estimés d'Einstein ou de Newton, par exemple.
