Fair enough, I just wanted to say that I meant no insult to the good people of Haarlem.

Sorry, I think it might have been something lost in translation, I was trying to say “settlement located close by and heavily influenced by another much bigger settlement”. I don’t know a better word for it.

Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.

That’s a map of the NL, is it not?

Wouldn’t something like spanning-tree just down all ports on this?

They also get paid off of this, the advertiser pays for those impressions.

Advertisers can’t switch because they can’t not be present on big platforms. The whole ad industry is just companies scamming each other and the consumer.

News websites get revenue via ads. This makes people load the same page again, loading the ads again.

I guess that’s how they make a lot of money, selling their own Confluence plugin.

I’m happy at least the Sun has time to rest at night, it would be so hard to keep shining all day

I would just like to point out that it can still get so, so much worse.

Outsourced to Asia, and you get phone pranks the quality of Jian Yang from Silicon Valley.

Darn, can’t use the entire Bee Movie on Blu-Ray as my password then.

I guess the etymology of the English word imbecile comes from a Latin word meaning physically weak.

India uses English as a lingua franca, they have their own phrases, dialect and everything, and they outnumber the American continent combined.

Some countries use YYYY MM DD which is also sane.

That, and society does not like it when you do so, and the more you get off the beaten path, the harder it gets.

The French hate the French, so we should be like the French

Bond… Jusuf Bond.

Weaving is not moving properly though either. Speeding and weaving through traffic is public endangerment where I live. We have a very good road safety record as well.

I assume that’s the law pretty much everywhere. That said, most of my troubles have been with people who speed by a lot and weave through traffic. Slower cars are less of a problem because while it might be the same speed difference, I see them much better and they usually don’t switch lanes erratically.

That said, I like traffic where I live now, because speeding 15% will get your license suspended, 30% will get you into jail. Traffic tends to be speedy, but coherent, everyone drives around the limit.
