Same thing

Mercurial is written in Python, Git in C.

Given the number of git instances, had it been implemented in Python, more CPU cycles / electricity would have been used.

Blah blah Mercurial is responsible for global warming. (I’m being sarcastic by the way - I love Mercurial).

Nice toxicity you got there

What an amazing community. Immediate sub.

CANZUK when?

Yup

It’s because soccer is more of a southern English slang for football so it was never in parlance across the country (the UK never “switched” from soccer to football).

There are many games of football: rugby league, rugby union, association football etc.

Association, contracted to assoc / soc.

And around Oxford, people like to add ‘-er’ to things. Rugby = rugger. Association football = soccer. Freshman = fresher.

There’s no denying the UK has a bias in the media and literature, especially in the past, to southerners. Thus soccer became quite common in writing and thus exported widely across the world.

But when many of the best football teams in the UK are northern, it’s understandable that the posh southern slang for the game was never widely regarded and remains ridiculed to this day.

We have a corner of the office with a hot desk surrounded by 50+ ducks of different colours and sizes.

Many a day you’ll find anyone from junior engineer to lead architect sat and orating to the rubbery senate and most will stand up suddenly and walk away with a smirk and an air of levity in their stride.

And a few days later, another cheerful quacker appears on the desk.

"I've never engaged in nonconsensual activity, I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes," the actor continued…

Nice little touch there by the journalist.

Thank you! Time to go digging.

Please! Recipeeeeeeeees. I’m salivating already.
