Portugal

No one is going to behead you if you get the ages wrong for some reason.

But as you said, it’s only done in very very formal situations. Usually army/navy/airforce dinners and such. You almost never see it anywhere else.

I feel like this is a global thing but here it goes When serving dinner the women are served first, then the men. They do this from oldest to youngest.

So, first person to get food/wine/water/wtv served is the oldest woman, and the last person to be served is the youngest man…

Edit: I got the tittle wrong I thought it was only formal setting stuff. This is only done in very formal settings. Like an extremely important ceremony on the military branches of my country for instance.

Yeah I was really looking forward for LoR being a big hearthstone fan. However the way the turns work just never clicked with me. My brother on the other hand completely abandoned HS and only plays LoR now. The cards and the effects are amazing though, it’s one of those games I feel sad I don’t like it hahaha

Also very hyped for arcane season 2. A bit frustrating that it will take so long but, if it means it’s as high quality as the first one them I’m all for it.

League of legends.

Absolutely despised it, thought it was just pointless since progress doesn’t really carry over from match to match, so what’s the point?

Eventually gave it a go back in 2011 and never got rid of it. Took me a while to get into it too, I’d only play because of my brother and with friends on teamspeak but eventually got reeeeally into it.

These days I don’t have time, or at least don’t want to invest it, for rankeds or even SR (5x5) so I mostly play ARAMs and some of the riot forge games (LOTRK, song of nunu). Looking forward for the mmo, really love the universe and I loved the TV show too.

Well to add to that then, Microsoft outlook also has a free alias service, which work as a redirect email that you can enable/disable at will. But I believe there’s a limit to those, so I just use my Gmail address most times.

When registering for stuff I always pay very close attention to not check the “send me offers and promotions” checkbox, unless I am genuinely interested.

If any gets by, or if any by default signs you up, whenever I get an email from them I’ll go to the bottom of the email and unsubscribe.

This means that all the marketing emails are from things that I genuinely have interest on. Sometimes, even these things get too spammy and unsubscribe from those that kinda act abusive. They aren’t your “FREE LIMITED IPHONES! OPEN NOW!” kind of emails. Those I mark as spam, hoping to improve the detection system on whatever email client, and move on.

So, essentially, I have “free time” to read those as much as you and I have “free time” to come here on lemmy. It’s something I am interested on.

Edit: just realised I didn’t specifically answer your questions but it’s basically:

1. Just a regular guy.
2. I am interested in the ones I do get.
3. Sometimes before sleep or when I go to the bathroom I look at emails/lemmy/others.

Edit2: I think there’s a distinction to make here between SPAM emails and Newsletters. SPAM emails are mostly sent based on leaked emails lists or something. Newsletters, you usually sign up for them (knowingly or not).

Edit3: Bonus ProTip - If you use Gmail you can get a + sign after your email and before the @ symbol and whatever your write on there is ignored. So for instance myemail+otherwords@gmail.com will still forward to myemail@gmail.com . This means you can kind of find out who leaked your email if you register as “email+websitename@gmail.com”, however this tip is getting known a bit more so some websites now sanitize your email and it won’t work as intended… :(

Also, if for some reason you’ll be using the email as the login it can be kinda crap.

Sorry for the long comment :) interesting topic.

I think I overall prefer digital, but on e-ink devices mostly.

I like that they don’t take up space, I can download them quickly and not have to go to the bookstore or order it online and wait for it to be delivered. Also I can sync it on multiple devices and read on my kindle when I really want to have a good reading experience but if I forget it or am waiting for the bus or something, just pull up the kindle app on my phone and everything is synced.

On the other hand, growing up with a lot of books I kinda miss the feel and smell of physical books. Also I feel like they are a bit more… “permanent”.

Note sure if I’m wooshed or you haha I was quoting a stupid ad that would roll before every movie in the 2000s.

Ah, I read it wrong. Somehow my half asleep brain thought he put the blanket on the heater…

I’m wondering, what does the heated blanked have to do with the heater?

You wouldn’t steal a car.

I did not… I just had a look at their page and you’re absolutely right. Fuck… I think my next laptop might just be a framework…

I agree. I really do want a framework thought, the fact that it’s modular is so cool that it just makes me want to buy it… But the tech isn’t quite there yet for my needs. Hopefully one day :)

Yep I moved from Oneplus to Xiaomi and I can’t day I’m disappointed but I’m feeling they are charging more and more and then phones aren’t getting that much better. I think my next phone will be a pixel. Mostly for the camera. As I’m getting older I notice that I don’t use my phone for too much other than photos of traveling or just messaging my friends and family on WhatsApp. Games on phone are absolute cancer anyways…

Oh… You mean like buying it and using it as a modular desktop? That could be interesting but I don’t know if it’ll have the horse power I need anyways (for gaming). For a home server I bet it’ll be more than enough.

Also, I travel with my laptop somewhat frequently so a desktop wouldn’t be ideal (unfortunately. I prefer desktops over laptops)

Huh, that’s a good take! Didn’t think about that.

It kind reminds me of the Oneplus brand. I loved the one plus (1) so I bought a Oneplus2 only for it to be put aside fairly quickly. I remember I used to suggest Oneplus to everybody, eventually I told everyone to stay away… Eventually the brand just lost it’s focus imo… Instead trying to pump out as much overpriced garbage as possible…

Could you also sell your 2nd hand old main board? That would lessen the blow of a new upgrade (considering you have no need for a home server).

I have thought about a framework laptop but my laptop is a humongous gaming laptop so I don’t think framework has the horsepower I’m looking for. The fact that it’s modular is soooooo tempting though…

I found myself thinking about that. I looked at the clean water on the toilet and thought, that’s the exact same water, from the exact same source, that comes out of the kitchen faucet I use to drink and cook… What a fucking waste… (water is drinkable here ofc)

I sometimes see those eastern flushes with a tap on top that you can use to wash your hands or wtv and so the runoff water goes into the flush reservoir. I thought that was a great idea but, I think recently on lemmy someone asked about something that sounds like a good idea but isn’t, and someone spoke about those toilet/sinks. I don’t remember what the issues were but at the time I thought it made sense not to use it.

Still kinda hurts flushing perfectly good water down the drain :/

As someone that works with huge amounts of data with dates in varied formats… PLEASE let this be standardised. :')
