She offered to pay for it!

the woman repeatedly asked for tap water with her meal, even offering to pay for it.

WTF is wrong with wanting water to a meal she pays for? Here our quality of tap water is generally better than bottled water, I imagine it could easily be the same in a mountain hotel in Italy.

That’s really low class of the Hotel restaurant, and yes I am pretty sure it would be illegal in most countries.

😀

In my opinion, money is not just debt.

Money is literally an “I owe you” note. It is issued by a central bank, and has no intrinsic value. The entire value of money is based on trust, that this “I owe You” note will good when you need to spend the value of whatever you did to earn the note.

Linux can easily be run on your 500 MB HDD, it can also be run from an USB stick or even a DVD.

Linux can even run on the original Raspberry Pi, a single board computer with only 512 MB RAM!

You should probably look for a distro that is made for older systems, but if you do that, it should work very well. There are obviously limitations with only 2GB RAM. So I wouldn’t use a resource heavy desktop like KDE/Plasma.

This is impossible, it is not circled in red like it’s supposed to.

That’s how WW1 started.

It was a joke. 😋

Yes, that’s how it’s pronounced after you drink it.

Snaps is something you drink.
AFAIK only users who have it shoved down their throat by Ubuntu use snap packages.

Almost exactly what I came to say, in Chess you lose fair and square based on how well you play.
And Chess always has the enjoyment of trying to figuring out the puzzle.
Games that have an element of chance, you can lose to the statistically improbable, despite being the better player.

In pure chance based games, it doesn’t really matter IMO, because it’s purely chance.

True, but here (Denmark) it is literally illegal to sell anything but pure fruit juice as juice, if it is made from concentrate it has to be labelled clearly, and it is only allowed to ad the amount of water that was removed.

If it has added sugar it is called Nektar.

If it has artificial flavors it is called Saft. Saft can also have added sugar. Saft also means Juice, English does not AFAIK have the words to distinguish between pure juice and flavored and sweetened juice.

IDK the rules in other EU countries, but my guess is that they are similar, but localized depending on language.

If it’s artificial it isn’t orange juice.

The waves are scary if you don’t read it correctly though.

There is no other option than to simply tear down the whole house and build a new one.

Does it really matter if she likes you because she is genetically or socially preconditioned to think you’re handsome?
Or she is randomly attracted to your pheromones?
Or you randomly share an interest?
Or whatever other random thing causes it?

Or that she likes you because you want her to?
Provided she still is allowed to decide for herself whether she wants to be with you.
Because people can like each other, without wanting to be together for other reasons.

Emotionally I agree that yes it matters, but I find it less easy to argue the point rationally.

Personally I prefer rolling releases, because apart from being generally more up to date having all the newest features, I also like to generally only have to fix 1 problem at a time. Where a dist-upgrade for a non rolling release sometimes have more problems at once.
I feel like I have fewer problems on average with rolling releases.

Very nice explanation. One minor detail though:

Endeavour doesn’t market itself as stable

Endeavour OS is per normal Linux developer definition unstable.
But that doesn’t mean what some people think it means. It only means it’s not feature freezed because it’s a rolling distro.
It doesn’t mean that it has more bugs, it can in theory have fewer bugs, because bug fixes are part of newer versions, and because it runs on newer versions of software.

What it means is that some features may change, and that can cause problems in a production environment. So often professionals prefer stable especially to avoid changes that may cause breakage of their routines, because features are frozen and do not change, which guarantees that production is not affected by changes that were not prepared for.

Many people believe stable means more reliable and fewer bugs, but that is not always the case. In my experience Arch derivatives are often more “reliable” and have fewer bugs than a “stable” OS like Ubuntu.

I haven’t tried Endeavour, but I used the older Antergos that Endeavour replaces, and Antergos was amazing IMO.

One thing in particular that makes a rolling release sometimes more reliable, is that it has newer drivers, and newer drivers often have bug fixes.
Especially for games newer graphics drivers are less likely to lack features a game may need.

My intention is to present an argument for the logical incorrectness of using the term “Americans” for citizens of USA.

And I already agreed with you on that point, but I also showed you that that is NOT how the English language works. So fucking stop beating a dead horse.
You are being annoying and stupid.
No you don’t sound aggressive or rude. You sound stubborn and annoying unable to accept facts that are presented to you very clearly.

No you don’t, you probably live in the Americas, huge difference. The language we use here is English, and unless you live in USA, you don’t live in America by definition of how English works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States

The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America

This is how the word America is used in English, completely disregarding whether you like it or not.
