Ich verstehe einige diese Worte.

(Be nice please, my German is bad and I’m learning :p )

It’s a British idiom used to show endearment. Don’t worry about not knowing it, I’m near native in English and didn’t know.

No, they were three digit before multiple incidents involving high scores. The newer models are two digit only. No flashing happen above 100 km/h either.

This is why these signs are capped at 100 km/h in Denmark. If you drive faster they don’t show anything.

Next you’re telling me his name is Bob…

A rich guy’s submarine imploded while exploring Titantic in 2023. All 5 occupants died. Obviously.

I bought a pledge early on. Sold it a few years later for double the price. Great investment!

What a coincidence, that’s the number to the emergency services too!

Having healthy competition is a good thing and I’ve wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey’s paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:

• Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we’re supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don’t want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
• Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
• EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
• Their UI is just plain bad.

But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn’t need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can’t be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

We do have freeze-dried food which is the same principle. I usually buy a bunch to carry on hikes. Add cold or boiling water (depending on dish) wait a few mins, stir, and voilà! You got a decent spaghetti bolognese.

Unfortunately what is considered the world’s first movie is A Trip to the Moon from 1902, so there exists no movie from 1873

Rule no. 1: Test on a sausage first.

It’s the licence plates from back to the future.

We actually did loop in Denmark a decade or so ago. It was quite easy to guess the production year of the car by just looking at the first two letters. It was a bit trippy seeing new cars with "AA 11 111” all of a sudden when we ran out of ZZ’s.

Before Soundboks went industrial they made portable speakers for festival goers by hooking a speaker up to car batteries and putting it in a nice box. I imagine you can get a nice setup following their footsteps. Unfortunately Soundboks is more than twice your budget so I can’t recommend them on that alone, but a cheap second-hand speaker (or some drivers and an empty box so you can fit batteries inside too), a car battery, and a cheap microphone should be doable below €200-€300.

Would you prefer “Was late to his own funeral”?

I think that’s what’ll be on mine.

As a vodka enjoyer, I do love me a good Vodka Martini. But that shaken thing Bond has going on is pure blasphemy.

It’s worth remembering that the taste doesn’t just come from the vodka so the vermouth is equally important.
