It absolutely reminded me of the fight we have here in Germany about how to say what time it is.

Some rare people (like my beloved girlfriend) only really understand when you say something like, “four o’clock thirty”
The rest of us is fine using “half five” to refer to that.

But the real argument is in the quarters.

16:15

Some people just say “quarter past four” while others borrow the concept from above and say “quarter five”

16:45

The one group calls it “quarter to five” while the others stick to their concept and call it “three-quarters five”

It is a regional difference, but the groups are totally scattered and don’t follow typical geographical or administrative borders.

We’ve had meme wars over this.

My favourite for life will always be kræftedme = cancer eat me - usually uttered in a sentence to underline how pissed off you are and how serious you are about being pissed off.

Just curious: do you take that as a reference to cancer as a sickness or actual crabs eating you?

In German the word for cancer (Krebs) is a homonym referring to both the sickness and a crustacean. So I wondered how this works in Danish.

(It is in English too, though the reference to crabs is only scientific and thus a very exotic interpretation)

(edit the 4x20+10 is similarly just 90)

I can let you get away with the first part about 4x20 just becoming the word for 80, but with this one, you’re just fooling yourself and others.

If it were just another word for ninety, than ninety-two would be (4x20+10)+2 instead of 4x20+12 And it works that way up to 96.

Just stop making excuses and own the weirdness.

"Hi,

The fact that it won’t run on Linux anymore is, what finally got me out of it.

I’ve never spent a dime on it, but I’ve wasted so much time on League for over 10 years.
Being on Linux exclusively saved me.

As a rule, you now have to inject ‘I use Arch btw’ into every conversation. We’re the vegans of the Linux world.

Welcome on board!

I also wonder if we’re approaching this the right way. The Ring hast strange powers and works in subtle ways to get to its chosed ringbearer.

Maybe this is the trick to never lose your 10mm again. At least not for very long.

It’s a bit of an overstatement, sure. But our administration is kinda notorious for being very slow adapting to the digital world.

It’s slowly improving lately, but there’s still a lot of stuff that’s excruiatingly analog and a lot of actual paperwork required by law.

It was kinda big news when some government agencies abandoned fax machines last year.

But she can’t possibly endanger her child, OPs sister, by giving her tech that is “not okay”. It might explode on her or something.

I come from an ass backwards country that does not do e documents

let me guess: is it Germany?
