Here in Denmark (maybe all EU, not sure) a dashcam has to be turned on manually. If it were to turn on automatically with the car, it’d be illegal. I’m guessing laws across the world could be stopping such a rollout.

I guess it depends on how far North you live. I’m a Swede too, and cars in summer with no A/C would be unbearable.

You can use FF’s or Chrome’s cookie files: http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#load-cookies

I would recommend Aria2. It can download several chunks of a file in parallel, resume downloads automatically with a set number of retries, it supports mirrors (maybe not an option for Google Takeout, but for other cases), and it can dpwnload over many different protocols.

One of four. The rest have been queues or first come, first served.

I know. That’s why I said it’s a bit weird that we could skip the queue. On the other hand, the fact that decades long queue times are necessary instead of more, affordable housing being built is also a problem.

One apartment I lived in was rented out by a private landlord, and there we had the option to write a personal letter/application which would allow us to skip the queue if we matched what they were looking for. We had just become a family of three and they wanted more families with children so we were approved. That was completely voluntary though. In honesty, I think it’s kind of weird that we could jump the queue but we were no longer allowed to live in my student apartment so we jumped on it.

I’m a Swede living in Denmark. Not a thing in Scandinavia, apparently.

That’s sad. There could be so many reasons for disagreements. As long as you paid you shouldn’t be forced to do this. Best of luck.

Huh. Here we have registries for people who habitually don’t pay on time, with a cooldown once they’re caught up. If you’re not in the registry it’s assumed that you’re good.

References for renting? What sort of dystopia is that? I’ve never heard of that concept, luckily.

It’s UWQHD. It’s higher than fullHD, so it is high def by definition.

I got Elder Scrolls: Online last summer when it was free on Epic. I love it! After playing for six months, I knew I wanted more and was willing to pay, so I got the latest chapter bundle (which includes all older chapters) for €19.79 on Steam. Absolutely worth it. I’ve since received two other DLCs for free just for playing the game. The lore of TES is just so good, and the environments in ESO look beautiful. There’s so much story in the quests too, so even if it’s an MMO, I can play it exclusively as a single player game that just happens to have other people in it.

Edit: The game is 10 years old this year, and there is more free stuff because of the anniversary.

And that’s totally fair, in my opinion. Speech has to flow in the language you speak, or you’ll sound like an idiot. As long as people don’t go around claiming to know and teaching others pronunciations for things that they themselves don’t pronounce the way that was intended.

there are examples like VIP where even though we could pronounce it we pronounce each letter individually.

This always seemed a bit weird to me. In Sweden we do pronounce that as a word. Vipp.

Non-acronym initialisms are an exception. I wouldn’t pronounce the letters in German.

Related. I actually thought it was a sun related thing, like a solar flare, in the comic. Turns out it was butterflies.

I would call Volbeat rock, but are they really metal?

Yes, I gathered. I was just wondering what the reason is for starting the x at the top, when it’s easier, imo, to do as we do and start at the bottom.

No, I’m looking at the lowercase one. I don’t understand why it comes in at bottom left but goes to top left before starting the letter.
