The official reason is so that Big G is the default search engine on every install.

But that may very well just be a smokescreen.

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie xD

NL guy here.

So a centre marking tells me it’s an 80 km/h road, and the side markings, together with the trees off to the side, aim to optically narrow the road, making drivers more conscious of their speed. This is part of the Dutch universally applied standards of traffic calming.

If there were only markings on the side, usually a little inwards from the roadside, it’d be a 60 km/h road. This would be even more pronounced if the space outside of those lines had red asphalt. In such a case, it’s sometimes allowed, or even expected, for cyclists to cycle in the main roadway.

On this location though, the bike lane is off to the side. It’s an 80 km/h road, that’s too fast for on-street cycling.

As a Dutch person, nah. Double sided guardrails are the norm in here. It’s relatively uncommon to find a guard rail that’s single sided.

As someone who lives there, you’d wish. Instead it’s a real place to be envious of 😛

City “twinning” goes beyond the EU. And it can happen for all kinds of reasons. My favourite example is the towns of Dull, Scotland, Boring, Oregon and Bland, New South Wales.

I call them crackberries.

Change my mind.

To my mind pop:

• Save states (quicksave, load, stuff like that)
• New Game Plus
• Short range teleport, because why not.

Nah, cutting off the ads would be just fine. You’d in fact be doing the world a service.

It would have made more sense if a ghost refused to go to the ball.

Instructions unclear, ripping and tearing.

I don’t watch a lot of series so that’s probably Sword Art Online Abridged… x OpenTTD

So it’s probably about getting stuck inside a video game but the stated goal is to build a transportation network that spans the world. And if you’re bankrupt in game, you die for real.

If we then add a few conditions: “no links in the root message” and “OP may not be the first to comment within some unspecified amount of time,” that could make it even easier to limit CSAM.

You call it a bug.

I call it a feature.

Emotional damage!

Gottverdammt Klaus!!

Re: GFCI’s

At least in my country, GFCI’s are required to be fitted in the fuse box, to protect the entire building. Not just rooms which are prone to ground faults. In the American type, the protection is optional.

Hey Oklahoma, clearly you have nothing to worry about Sharia law, you’re doing a great job at introducing it yourselves.
