Today, Tom Scott learned me: in the 100m sprint, the difference between runners at the finish can be smaller than the speed of sound between starting blocks, given runners on the near side a relevant advantage when using traditional starting guns

"‘You know,’ said Arthur, ‘it’s at times like this, when I’m trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young.’ ‘Why, what did she tell you?’ ‘I don’t know, I didn’t listen.’"
- H2H2, Douglas Adams

When I click on a link to another toot, it opens in a new window and then I can't really interact directly with the toot. Is there an easy way to open the toot inside the current window of my instance? #mastodon

TIL that all .IO domains will disappear in the near(ish) future
Also a reminder that it was always part of (British) colonial legacy

Why does no one believe I'm shy and introverted when we're playing Werewolf?

TIL about ABAP and especially the space-sensitive code. I never want to touch anything from SAP ever again*.

@npub1jq9…jqnl I'm introvert, I'm happy whenever I'm not forced to talk to strangers ;)

@npub1jq9…jqnl I am shopping in a Waitrose around the corner and the experience is entirely good. Maybe it depends on how paranoid the shops are. But it's also up to them to balance cost saving vs. shoplifting increases.

@npub1tfa…6ehz Und vielleicht ein klein wenig Hoffnung auf interne Machtkämpfe bei den Republikanern wenn Trump weg ist.
Aber du hast Recht, das würde das Problem nur für ne Weile aufschieben

@npub1tfa…6ehz Die Hoffnung dass Faschismus ohne Trump nicht so leicht zu vermarkten wäre?

@npub1p96…ek2e Ich glaube ja es gibt sowas wie Mavitation(*) auch für Menschen in einer Gesellschaft: Es besteht eine starke Anziehung je mehr Menschen schon da sind. Und DE ist ja zumindest in vielen Aspekten schon relativ dezentral.

anyone familiar with slavic etymology? "Tsar" is derived from Caesar, possibly via Kaisar - but how did that last step from C/K to Ts work (and how did the other syllable disappear)?

Are there resources out there on how to deal with airport security while being #trans? (ideally EU/UK specific)

Am I taking #ChaosPost too seriously for something I've only learned about days ago? Probably. But then again, I'm at #37c3. The idea of "too seriously" has quit and gone crying in the basement

@npub1jc0…sldg is there a write-up of the story with the Norwegian translation? How did you find out about it?

So. Tax residency is defined as 183+ days in a country. What happens when I split the difference between two countries in a leap year and do 183 days in both?

2023-10-17 13:32:22

I mean English is really easy, you take a bit Brittonic, some early Latin, drown it in several West Germanic languages, sprinkle some North Germanic on top, add a large serving of old French and more Latin with some Greek on the side, stir heavily for a thousand years, then throw in a Shakespeare for flavour and out comes a language that everyone can speak and no one likes.

Do we have a tool to turn a mastodon thread into something I can save (like a PDF or single-page HTML)?

Public transport isn't supposed to make money. It's not even supposed to break even. It's supposed to lose money and to be financed and extended from general taxes because it gives back way more than mere money.
And all the politicians know this because they keep building and maintaining streets for free
