Linux has its own weird implicit copy paste on the mouse - pressing the wheel pastes the last thing you selected.

It depends though - if you're copy pasting between programs, you're probably using your mouse already, so it's good that the buttons are there. But if you're writing or editing text, you probably have your hands on the keyboard, so you need the shortcut there as well.

My kids use my account.

So mine is a quarter space, a quarter MTG, and half Minecraft.

More vulnerable, probably yes. Phones are very locked down and secured (unless you root or install custom firmware).

But, they are still worse for privacy due to how they're used. The phone (and thus Google and Apple and Facebook and others) has access to your location all the time - your computer doesn't. The computer is only vulnerable when on - the phone is always on.

The threats are different and from different sources. Random hackers mining shitcoins on your computer, big companies knowing what you're doing when you carry your phone.

This is about light rail though, which is usually built in cities (or, at least between a city and its suburbs). So I wonder how much of the cost (for both rail and road) is for land rights.

Ink for the ink god, drivers for the driver throne.

That's still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

"Team restructuring" is so much fun, you never know what you're going to get.

Your boss's boss now reports to a slightly different VP? Everyone is getting fired? No way to know which it's going to be, until the end of the meeting.

34, Slovenia, same story.

There's nothing "inexpensive" about that though.

On the other hand, I recently started doing the other kind of magic with cards. That sounds really cheap, all you need is a $5 deck of Bicycle cards, some YouTube tutorials, and you're all set. Turns out, that can be a money sink as well if you decide to go deep (or wide) enough. Still far less than MTG though.

You are sarcastic, but for electricity we could totally do that. We still choose not to.

No Niles?

I was a pretty big fan of Frasier so I'll probably try to see at least one episode (when I can get it in Europe), but I don't have hopes up. It seems nobody else does either.

On the other hand, Rodney Trotter? This just seems weird.

Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.
