I'm a bit surprised that that was the only reason, though. Why would you expect you could get a passport from a country that insist not to be a citizen of?

Also, "I authenticated my birth certificate to a non hague-convention country"? I'm having a bit of trouble deciphering exactly what that means, but it kinda sounds to me like they just admitted to, you know, forging their birth certificate…

"Squeezes", "20%". Interesting word choice. Feels almost like downplaying. When, in reality, 20% is massive, especially on a CPU like the Threadripper.

I do not trust any "livability" statistic that lists Frankfurt as the most livable city in Germany.

Also, the chart does not give its selection criteria. Medium sized cities to cities on the smaller side are completely missing. I get not including towns, that would overwhelm the graph.

Then again, what even is a city, what sets it apart from a town? Different regions in Europe have vastly different definitions of that, with the UK's definition being particularly notable for how useless it is.

You don't need "AI" for that. All you would need is some standardized APIs for the various shops, and you could easily solve this with computer technology from 20 years ago.

About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don't even understand how this verdict took so long.

Do Americans need these giant packs to deal with daily life in America?

Honestly, why would you host a service like that under the Afghani TLD, knowing fully well what kind of country Afghanistan is these days?

"Shut down by the Taliban", sure, because you handed them the switch to shut down for no good reason.

The way I, as another European, understand this, he's flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

More people need to learn about yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Can't talk about the seedy anime websites, but youtube-mp3 conversion is so easily done yourself without havaing to visit any virus-pushing sites once you figure out how.

Temperature translation for non-Americans:

70°F ≈ 21.1°C
50°F = 10°C
20°F ≈ -6.7°C

Except of course most of the view out of the window apart from the three circled buildings does not match up at all.

The three circled buildings are the furthest thing you can see out of that window, and in the pic in general, and the thing about far away big things is, you can move around a lot before their visual appearance will start to change noticably.

Congrats, your girlfriend is imaginary.
