Better than getting downvoted for an innocent, silly brain fart :)

I'll push back on that. If we swap P and L it would be ppague, llague or lpague and not prague. And if you claim autocorrect turned one of those into prague, I'll counter that autocorrect would've capitalized it as a proper noun.

It took me a moment, but given that the Japanese do not have a distinction between L and R, I ended up with the suspicion that he was talking about a plague.

Edit: Holy fuck I got double Ninja'd.

In a class on intercultural exchange we learned that most people who move abroad (semi-)permanently go through a U-shaped curve. Starting high with a Honeymoon phase, followed by a crisis/culture shock after about 2-3 months. And then a recovery and acceptance/adjustment/mastery/adaptation/whateveryouwannacallit phase. Many people also have this process repeating in waves.

Interestingly enough, people who go through the U curve once and come out the other side usually also experience the same curve when eventually moving back to their "original" country.

We use, if needed, apostrophes or upticks. 2'999,95. No danger of messing up between . and , that way.

Also let's just wait until that person learns that not every country separates into blocks of 3 and how many options of mixing and matching there are in use.

Wäre spannend wenn es nicht nur 1 Wert pro Partei gäbe und wir stattdessen einen Box plot oder Violin plot pro Partei sehen würden. Dann könnten wir bessere Aussagen über die jeweiligen Verteilungen machen.

I'm sure there's a joke in there about Paraguay being on the receiving end of a lot of Nazis fleeing to South America after WW2.

I've seen variations of a snarky "I never had this problem on Linux" one-liner comment so many times that I have to resist the urge to write "I never had this problem on Windows" every time I see a Linux user asking for help.

I've actually successfully used this very flowchart to date the globe I have in my room as a hand-me-down from my grandpa.

My interpretation was that he was fainting because she looks so stunning. On second look, yours seems to be closer to the artist's intent though.

There are also three "Data Flow" labels (two for the same arrow even) and I'm pretty sure it says Intemal Docs, which makes sense for and AI to mess up too because of similar m and rn look.

 
 

About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.

I don't remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.

I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.

I believe the game was advertised as one of those "you can build outposts anywhere" kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.

I'm not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.
