This actually depends on the kind of project. In larger and longterm projects I write my comments in English. In quick jobs like writing a source code generator or data swabbler that I need once or relatively short term, I use German. It does not make much of a difference for me, though, and I have a script that walks over a source tree to find some common German words just in case I had written something in German by accident.

In anderen Worten: Sie will gar nicht in die Regierung, sondern will Opposition bleiben, wo man so schön und ohne Konsequenzen stänkern kann. Und die CDU soll schuld an dem Versagen der Gespräche haben.

I hope not. I threw out a box of tins yesterday that I had forgotten about in a remote corner of the basement. On the other hand they were so many years past their "best before" date they might no longer qualify as food...

Old people do have less control - this is the case with cars and bikes - but while they would never get up to dangerous speeds anymore on a normal bike, an ebike empowers them to go way faster than they can control - just like a car would.

It is more a problem with ebikes than with normal ones. Most of those people would not be nearly as fast on a normal bike than on an ebike.

While it is not shape-shifting, I've experienced a touch screen where you actually could "feel bumps". Depending on your fingers position, it vibrates in a way that makes you "feel" a bump or ridge. It was amazing.
Like entering a PIN: You close your eyes and put a finger on the screen. The code centers a numeric keyboard at this position so you are on the "5". You can move your fingers up, and you can feel a "ridge" when moving to the "2" field. You move left and feel a ridge when moving to the "1" field. If you move back to the "5", you can feel the "bump", and it differs from the feel of the "ridge". Once you are on the right field, you lift your finger and bring it down again to select this number. If you leave it off a bit longer, it just re-centers the keypad to the "5" position.
Of course this only works with one finger, but it is absolutely amazing how convincing this is, especially if you close your eyes.

The baker here uses small thin plastic bags instead of gloves. You can get into them far quicker than any glove, you can still grab bread, rolls, and other things with it, but they are a hindrance for using the POS or handling cash, so they remove them for that.

Of course they closed the McD for that occasion. DT is not qualified or certified to work with food. Imagine he undercooks something or f-cks up cleaning the salad properly and people fall ill. Of he could have spread some germs, as we don't know what prevents him from publishing his medical record.

Put him behind bars for that and I start believing that the government takes this vote seriously.

On the contrary. They should finally tax plane fuel like they tax the fuel for cars.

Simple solution to this problem: just don't apply in that assholes' company.

One thing TfL should do about ULEZ fines is trying to find a different company to enforce those on foreign victims. I got an unexpected invoice that looked more than shady, and when I googled the companies name, nine out of ten results on the first page were fraud warnings. The only non-warning somewhere near the end of the list was the companies home page.
It was actually an unexpected threat as our car is fully compliant to those rules, and we had to find a lawyer in the UK to bring that point home to those assholes and the TfL.

It is actually a completely different kind of production. A modern TV show is made in hundreds of takes in any order with loads of repeats, and the result is then cut to make the final show.
Filmed with a live audience implies one more or less continuous take, in order, no repeats, and each actor has to be able to run his or her part perfectly, know every position and line.
That is quite tough in comparison to modern methods, and I am convinced that most modern TV or movie actors would have difficulties with that concept.

Oh, are those multi-million Dollar bribes by the billionaire class for their favourite tax evasion party still not enough?

There are two problems with that: First, what is acceptable or not is a cultural thing and varies from country to country. There are actually countries where anything depicting humans or mentioning women is NSFW. In other countries they wonder "why has this been marked NSFW? They don't even f_ck!".
Second, even with atking this into account, and if we concentrate on an American and European context which has mostly comparable ideas of morality, people still mark things as NSFW where I ask "Why?", and other posts are not marked NSFW where I also ask "Why?" - if you understand what I mean.
So any usage of an NSFW tag has a certain ambuguity to it, and can only seen as a hint, as a personal thing to use or not use as the poster evaluates it.

You do not need any of this. You should know some chemistry and physics, but you can get everything you need to make a bang.
My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution. I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that. But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this: * BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified") * LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design * Parts Weight I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability. Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?
Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely. So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it. After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.
I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.
The new [Eldorado Fortress](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=10320-1&name=Eldorado%20Fortress&category=%5BPirates%5D%5BPirates%20IV%5D%5BImperial%20Soldiers%5D#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}) is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price. I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
