I think we are somewhat on the same page here. What matters isn’t the word you use, it’s the intention behind, which is hopefully obvious from context.

When I get called a nerd, my response goes anywhere between being proud and being insulted depending on context. The word itself has no emotion by itself.

Shouldn’t it be the same with many of these words that some people consider racist?

Their circle of friends may not be like yours.

I know plenty of people like what you are describing (always near at least one phone), but they are still impossible to reach quickly. Even when they expect a call, they can have their phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Or they ran out of battery, and didn’t think to turn it on after plugging it in. Most of the time I have no idea what the issue is.

Also, he might live in an area with few options. Specially on short notice. Maybe the closest alternative with a somewhat similar style is far away, so even if you can get a reservation , not everybody will be able to get there before dinner time.

Basically, when he says it’s hard for him, maybe just trust that he knows his life better than you do.

unless you pay for a “service” that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.

Here it’s cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I’ll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.

Some people think “not showering” means to wash in any other way. Some people think “not showering” means to not wash at all.

Almost every single comment here reads totally different depending on the readers assumption.

The point is they don’t have to proof if a piece of random data is indeed an encrypted blob.

But they do need to suspect it.

If they find an encrypted blob, ask for the decryption key, they decrypt the data and analyse the decrypted data, then they may not suspect that a different decryption key will reveal a different set of data.

Amerikas Forenede Stater?

But yeah, it’s too long, we usually call it USA. Although we pronounce the letters in the local way.

I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.

Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I’m a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don’t see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.

Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don’t want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for “the blackness” (I’m very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.

So don’t just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.

As far as I can tell, there’s basically two kinds of people:

1 - People who just don’t care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there’s nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.

2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don’t always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That’s what they are already trying to do.

TeamViewer blocked me for using it commercially. I have no idea why, I’m only using it to support 3 family members.

Those conditions would be illegal to put a pig in here.

Are you talking specifically about Canadian police? Because here in Denmark, the police make a big effort to prevent crime. As far as I know, it works pretty well.

Of course not all possible efforts to prevent crime can be done by the police, a lot of it is up to the government.

I agree.

I usually think of that as documentation, not comments.

But even so, the code should say what it does, with a good name. The documentation adds details.

I’m not sure how they handle that here.

Sometimes I get a box with a ridiculously small amount, I think I got 5 or 8 pills in a box.

I know people who get custom packaged medicine, but that is delivered.

If the competition is that high, the farmers will have very low profit margins. Any extra expense needs to be added to the price.

This won’t affect competition much, as all farmers have the same tax and therefore the same need for increased price.

The only noteworthy thing I see here (based on your information) is that the extra tax is per cow, but the price increase will be on the milk. This will hit farmers with lower amount of milk per cow. I guess this is farmers with more focus on quality and animal welfare.

Yeah.

The doctor puts my prescription in the system. It’s available in any pharmacy immediately. (Sometimes the doctor makes a note to the backoffice, which will then put it in the system. On a busy day this can take hours.)

I can then go to any pharmacy without pre arranging anything. At the register I say what I want (or if I’m not sure they can check my prescriptions), and a few seconds later I get it, I pay, I leave. I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than a minute.

In some pharmacies there’s a robot that will find the medicine while I continue the conversation and pay, making it zero waiting time.

I’m not sure exactly what “fill it” means to you. Here it means grab a box or bottle from the stock, stick a label on it and hand it over. The label has my name and a note from the doctor about its usage.

My country also has multiple people. Here they fill prescriptions when we arrive at the register. It’s almost as fast and easy as buying cigarettes.

Thanks for the explanation. This was really confusing, because here we just go to any pharmacy and get our medicine.

I live in Denmark, here the chargers are placed where people park anyway. Grocery stores, parking lots, rest stops…

It’s getting so easy to find a fast charger/resto combo, that we don’t even plan it from home.

I’ve seen few 200+ watts chargers without looking for them, but the car is ready faster than I am anyway.

1. I don’t have enough charge for my trip. I’m also thirsty.

2. I go to a grocery store with a fast charger.

3. I buy a drink.

4. I have enough charge.

If it’s a long trip where I need more charge, I choose a car snack, and I’ll have enough.

If I’m on an actual long car trip and I want to charge all the way from the warning light to 100%, I will need to eat a meal anyway. I just find a McDonald’s/cafe,/restaurant/whatever with a fast charger, and it’ll be full before I’m done.

But finding a store/eating place with a fast charger is still waaaay less convenient than just finding a place where I can get diesel in seconds, and find a different place to get drinks/food/snacks.

My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

My first computer wasn’t a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.

When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

We have nothing compared to fx. London.

Where did you see cameras?

Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.
