Sadly your average person just doesn't care about consumer rights, in any matter.

I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer's DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.

It's mostly because this has been a go-to response by Americans in topics about some European countries doing significantly better than the US: "It's because they don't have black people".

Well, technically both Julius and Caesar were his last names, Caesar was an extra name of unknown origin in his family branch. Since him it became a title.

That doesn't look like an ad, but a section in a (probably) tech magazine where they introduce useful or interesting websites to their readers.

Here in Finland, since their return in 2013, Burger King has sought to differentiate from other chains by having self serve drinks and unlimited refills.

Reminds me of quite a dark joke that made the rounds in Finland some years ago, when a grooming ring run by recently arrived immigrants was discovered in Oulu.

"A sex holiday for the whole family: Dad goes to Thailand, mom goes to Gambia, and the kids go to Oulu"

I have no idea if they still do it, but a decade or so ago it was all over the internet that a Brazilian fast food company had started using edible wrappers and made a marketing stunt out of it. The chain was apparently "Bob's".

Not really relevant, but where do we draw the line of first time he threatened nukes? As a Finn, feels like Russia has been making threats about their nukes almost monthly for the last thirty years.

And some say there were two WWs on their account

Very glad I saw this. I've been getting increasingly fed up with Google Maps. Their map in my area is full of annoying errors, such as routing you through roads that haven't existed for a decade, or along private roads that are not open to the public. And no matter how many times I report them, nothing ever gets fixed. Going to give OSM a try and hopefully make the switch for good. Already saw that the map in my area is in much better shape than Google's.

EA Origin, or possibly whatever they had before it, in Finnish used to have a button for "firewood outdoors"
