Ik heb wel interesse maar ik vind het maar moeiliijk nieuws te vinden tegenwoordig. Ze bieden geen rss-feed aan, zitten achter een betaalmuur en wat er overblijft zijn roddels, sport en slecht geschreven korte stukjes.

Yeah, "scanning errors", like when it's charging me full price instead of the discount that it was supposed to be on, which would not be as obvious if a cashier scanned it?

It's been a while for me. Are there still edk2 indexing sites left?

Another fun fact:

In Dutch, the US is called Verenigde Staten.

But, the English United States sounds like u naait het steeds and means "you keep sewing it" or "you keep fucking it".

I've wondered the same as OP and never saw one in real life.

Probably it's a regional thing, like how in some countries (as I recently discovered) they don't know what a cheese slicer is and just butcher cheese with a knife.

Yeah I suppose those boutique shops are more for rich people but there's shops with cheap stuff too, often kind of hidden and unwelcoming. I used to live across from one for a while before I even realized it was a shop, and it was still open. Just saw the guy closing up but never saw a customer. I had a look out of curiosity and it was just some old guy selling bottles of washing liquid and everything was covered in a layer of dust like it hadn't been touched in years. He looked happy to see a customer so I felt sorry for him to just walk out again.

I'll grab some beers from the minimarkt at most. Everything else comes from the supermarket. And I often pass those tiny stores that never seem to have any customers – e.g. a shop just for socks? – and I always wonder how they can exist. There must be some kind of tax breaks or tax evasion going on.

It probably doesn't count as a shower thought. Also, the list is probably all wrong, e.g. Khmer and Tamil are abugidas, not alphabets.

Don't forget Anna's Archive. I found most comics I was looking for lately, also non-English.

Not in France apparently:

"Ownership of a treasure belongs to the one who finds it on their own property,"

Yeah it's something you don't hear outside of work. I felt like it implies more of: when work is over, enjoy what's left of the day.

On Prague-Budapest I got a berth but it was too short to lie on, and there was an annoying piece of metal at the end of it. They also simply parked the train for 4 hours, right under some very bright lights
