Wait, because Rams are expensive cars the surroundings get rendered later?

Why would he then exclude himself from [parents]?

My 3yo

His moms

they’re his parents

I’m confused. Is that now your kid? What’s going on?

They should start within their own ranks then. But everyone who keeps looking away is as bad as the rest.

“Ente” is german for duck.

This is not a US exclusive issue. Don’t be so US centric.

Renée Good and Alex Pretty were this month.

My argument is not that now suddenly white people in the US experience as much police brutality and arbitrariness as PoC in the US. It just seems the chances of white people surviving such encounters are dropping.

Well, not all dinosaurs. There were avian and non-avian dinisaurs, and the non-avian dinosaurs died out while the avian dinosaurs evolved into modern day birds.

No, far longer. You don’t get a decent gaming PC for 250, even with used parts.

And during that time, what do you play on?

Do some maths. How long does it take to save up for a capapble gaming PC if you can put aside €10-20/month?

I mean, it’s not like “gamers” (as in a significant percentage of us) were actually doing something. As everywhere else, most people are relatively uncritically consuming stuff, and only bad game design can have consequences like a large portion of a fanbase not buying a franchises entry. Not like DRM was a political issue in gaming communities. And Cloud Gaming is even hailed as a way for people who can’t afford high power gaming machines to play the newest titles (a claim that has some merit but we need other solutions but that is another debate).

So what’s wrong with kg for weighing things, st & lb for people, miles for driving distance, metres for building things, C for temperature and feet for ascent of hills and stuff?

What’s right about it?

But I love what you’ve done with ‘half-four’ to mean 3.30. I really enjoy doing that with my German colleagues.

That’s not exclusively german though as germanic languages in general and some slavic languages use this format.

I say “sechzehn Uhr” but drop the “Uhr” when adding Minutes (“sechzehn dreißig” for 16:30), except before 13:00 (“neun Uhr” for 09:00 and “neun Uhr dreißig” for 09:30) because it flows more easily. But some people keep the “Uhr” even after 13:00 (it’s the official way).
Written standard though is to put “Uhr” behind all the numbers (“neun Uhr dreißig” is written as “09:30 Uhr”).

Okay, it’s gonna be 17 o’clock next time then.

We’re 100% metric btw.

Canada, UK and USA aren’t, at least not in colloquial language. That’s what I mean. You post something in english and always meet someone from some anglophone country doing it differently. So I stopped caring.

I’m from Europe. I use a 24h-clock but not military time. Military time is an anglophone thing I don’t care about since I’m not in the military. And frankly, I don’t care much about how Australians or US-Americans or English people find my time and date formats or any other unit or measurement jarring, because you guys rarely agree on any kind of measurements, so I use metrics, a 24h-clock (maybe add an “o’clock” because it reads nicer to me) and dd.mm.yy(yy) instead of stones, pounds, feet or freedoms per square ketchup ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

O’clock is pretty british. HH:MM is normal in the more civilised areas of Europe (aka the rest of Europe).

Is this an ad?

I once watched some police procedural show (don’t remember which copaganda it was exactly) where they were trying to track someone’s location online. Couldn’t stop laughing when they showed an IPv4 address starting with 624.

They even look similar
