That’s insane.

No, but Skype allows to make calls to landlines (and mobile phones).

Wait, which car models lack that for “hazard warning lights, indicators, windshield wipers, SOS calls, and the horn”?

Don’t get me wrong, I agree these need physical buttons or similar. But everyone is celebrating as if it’s for things I’ve seen hidden behind touch or capacitive buttons in the cars I’ve driven and that really annoy me, like temperature, volume, mute, and cruise control inputs. Or have I just not driven the worst of the worst (Tesla).

Well, I have family that is old enough not to manage to use WhatsApp. They have a smartphone. WhatsApp is set up. I can never reach them on it.

I’ve been using Skype for cheaper international calls to family that still relies on phones instead of video calls etc. I’ll need to check what happens with my credit. Any recommendations for an alternative?

I absolutely got whooshed there.

United States of Oligarchs

That’s a bit boring though. Maybe they could put out a call for sponsors every week, the winner gets to name it. We’d get names like:

• United States of Amazon
• X
• Murica
• iMerica (designed by Apple in California, assembled in China)

Which should drive home the point.
Would also help government funding.

So, I’ve been trying to set this up with a plan to self host without public access. Just to share family pictures. But I’m cutting a lot of corners to make it work for myself and my family only, since that’s my goal.

Thanks a lot, that was really helpful!

Source?

Not saying you’re wrong, but I’m trying to be more critical online.

My boss, probably.

On boardgamegeek the community says that best is 1 player. What do you think about that? (You played with 4, right?)

This article has been in the works for longer than the recent row about importing indentured servants.

Except the flu doesn’t give you long covid.

Same!!

Is there a source for this? Last time I heard about it, it turned out to be just a ”possibly, maybe, it could be denied”, but nothing was decided yet.

Oooooh

My son had peed into the bed.

Sweet summer child

I remember reading a story written in English, and it kept mentioning „the cook“ (no pronoun, no name). My gender biased brain assumed the cook must be male. So I got confused when the pronoun „she“ finally appeared. I had to reread the paragraph to understand what was going on.
Embarrassing and eye opening.

Good point.
