But that's something that I witnessed change since the 80's and makes the electronic crappier, it's the fact that appliances in the 70's-90's were incredibly easy to fix. It was not rare for the manufacturer to even give schematics in the user's manual. There were shops to repair stuff everywhere and it was something approachable by anyone who could hold a soldering iron.

And the episodes are one hour long, that's nearly two whole year 24/7 to watch it. It will take you 5 years to watch the 15000 episodes if you do this 8 hours per day everyday. It looks like they release 250 episodes per year, so in those 5 years you'll have an additional 1250 episodes, 156 additional days.

And standard cheese is just milk way way past its conservation date.

I don't find blue cheese so strong. Some are, and they can become too strong if they are a bit old, but they can also be very delicate. There are also way stronger and more in your face cheese than blue cheese.

Helvetica is a font, definitely not the proper name of Switzerland. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica

You're probably thinking of Helvetia, which is neither the real name of Switzerland as it is an allegorical figure which represents Switzerland.

If you want the real official name of Switzerland, then you'll have to get it into one of the official languages:

  • Confédération suisse in French
  • Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft in German
  • Confederazione svizzera in Italian
  • Confederaziun svizra in romanche

On English it would be the Swiss confederation, or... Switzerland in short.

It's their age and sex, Gandalf is indeed 2049 years old during the events of the Lords of the ring.

Can confirm for Switzerland. It'll probably be some crappy tea bag quality, like lipton yellow or Twinings. They'll also probably charge you 4-6 CHF (about the same in USD) for it.

I've had the chance to see this painting in real life at Musée d'Orsay and it's one of the most impressive and stunning painting I've seen. It's beautiful, and so is the museum.

Before I had my daughter I was never sick, thought my immune system was strong. Then she started school and I got sick every freaking time she got a little bit sick. Turns out my immune system is crap, I just wasn't in contact with sicknesses that much.

The definition of being rich which I agree the most with is that you have invested your money so that it works for you sufficiently to cover your lifestyle's expenses. It does not mean that you drive a fast car or have a penthouse but you don't have to work to live.

For me it would mean being able to do whatever, learn to draw, play an instrument, travel, probably work on some software idea (my job), maybe try to create a company, but do whatever and be free to do so without any fear.

The same people will use Gmail without batting an eye and we all know what Google has been doing for years with emails in Gmail.

It's quite funny that now that there are "AI" that everyone can use, people get all worried about their data being used to train them but nobody cared before when it was Google or amazon using them to train their models.

You raise a very good point, people cannot be mad that companies use data that they made public to train their ai. It's public, people can do whatever they want with it. We really need to teach people to be more careful with what they post online.

But I'm wondering, is there a default license for data posted on lemmy?
