The Menemen

I think they also paid for the Alaska Purchase.

Tbh, I’d much prefer if no one did.

TurkoGerman here and we do that all the time. Our families back in turkey learned enough german by now thay we even do it in turkey…

Same for my tunisian wife (Arabic instead of Turkish though).

“365*10”???

True, but that is what did the trick. No tinkering, just a flawless experience (in most cases). This changed everything. No longer I start a game in the evening, wondering if it will start or not (I worked all day, I don’t want to google what I have to change to get the game to run again…). I double click and expect it to work (and it normally does).

There are things to learn from this…

I think everyone in our company has two monitors, from low level to the CEO (excepts those exclusively working in the field, they only have robust tablets). But it still checks out, we are just a subsidiary, so everyone is a slave I guess.

Maybe you should google what “scapegoat” means.

I think they didn’t get what the fake argument of these politicians were and just jumped to hating children+parents.

You are cursing at the scapegoats. Don’t fall into this trap.

We had hardcore magazines that circulated back in the days before easy internet. Guess the last time children didn’t have access was probably in the 18th century or so.

Guess the next step is controlling all chat groups, emails and cloud spaces to “avoid children exploiting these”…

It is not about the children, nor their parents. Redirect your anger towards the perpetrators, not towards the scapegoats…

If not Ubuntu, I’d at least stay in the Debian realm.

wonder why they don’t just install Debian with XFCE directly

I think the main reason are the “MX Tools” which get praised a lot. And maybe also the “Advanced Hardware Support” they offer.

You could have a look at MX Linux.

As a gamer and a Linux user for more than 20 years this thread is so awesome.

I actually mostly stopped playing sometime in the late 2000s (dual booting was annoying) and restarted around 2017. We have come so far…

That is completly normal in Germany (and most of the rest of this world). Only very few buildings have separate grey water lines.

A"siphon" or “trap” is why this doesn’t cause a smell problem.

Normally a separate grey water line is only used, if the grey water can be used on the property. A separate public grey water collection system is almost unheard of, except in some scientific project related developments (there has been some research into this, but it hasn’t proven to be a reasonable solution, for now at least).

I might have to add that I am a civil engineer specialiced in urban water management. :)

If it works, it works, I guess. It didn’t at our case (clogged too badly, the previous inhabitant did some, weird shit), hence the plumber.

I did it like you did and then the shit water came up the bathtub several cms high. Later attempts changed nothing. Was a disaster. But the plumber went wild and it worked.

No one in those countries believes that they live in a free, enlightened society…

But the west always portrayed otself in such a light… Now everyone knows their politics are just as ugly as Chinas, Irans or Russias politics.

It’s worse in Germany.

You don’t have to get a seal. You just push it in. Then quickly pull it out, push it in, pull it out, push it in, … until the water drains freely again. The pushing-pulling iteration creates enough negative pressure to get the job done quickly without a seal. But don’t wear your best clothes.

I always did it wrong, until a plumber showed me how to do it.

(Side note, this is for a european/german toilet. Might be different in the US, US toilets are just insane.)
