Well ortolan was typically eaten with a napkin covering one’s head, to hide one’s shame from God for eating it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Whats a good etiquette to show you are doing a U turn in a left turn, so the cars behind you know?
11·4 months agoI think that’s fair, but lots of people can’t navigate without Google Maps, and it’s notorious for directing people to u-turn.

No, from desktop mode, I just had to set up a wireguard connection with the public and private keys.
It was pretty easy to find a guide on how to get it set up.

PC Gaming@lemmy.world•Valve say Counter-Strike 2's reloading needed "higher stakes", so you now dump all the ammo left in a clip when you reload early
5·5 months agoGames like Counter Strike are timed and high pressure. The round has a 2 minute timer, and if you were to take the time to combine your mags, you would most assuredly be killed before you were done.
The question here is whether to risk running out of ammo in your mag before you’ve won the next encounter, or if you should instead dump the mag with any ammo left over and possibly run out of total ammo before the end of the round.
If you were in the same scenario in real life, you would have to consider the same thing. You don’t have time to combine mags, so do you dump it for short-term safety, or do you count your bullets and hope you don’t run out mid-firefight?

Technology@lemmy.world•GrapheneOS calls on privacy focused app developers to boycott European Unified AttestationEnglish
10·5 months agoGOS’s argument over the attestation is that it’s essentially the same as Google’s system. It approves the devices themselves regardless of their security. An approved device isn’t more secure in any way just because it’s on the list. It’s just a way of arbitrarily excluding any OS that they don’t like while still allowing devices that are obsolete or behind on security updates.
It has neither the positive reputation you assume
This is true. Quebec French is often looked down on by other native French speakers. It’s seen as a rougher version of the language, mostly due to its accent and different pronunciations, and often Quebecois’ simplified vocabulary compared to the French. But what the previous comment was about is that Quebec French is closer to what French sounded like a couple centuries ago, and the language in France has shifted in a different way.
nor do Quebecois say “le stationnement”.
Yes we do.
Quebec has a problem with English in particular as it is seen as overtaking its culture. As such, a lot of English words that the French have directly adopted are instead translated into Frencher versions of the words. Stationnement vs parking is one example, magasinage vs shopping is another.

4·5 months agoYes the word for cat is “chat” but the word for chat, in the online sense is also “chat” and it’s pronounced like the English word. It should also be capitalised because it’s a proper noun, eliminating the ambiguity that may exist.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What lurking suspicion do you have about something but is hard to prove?
26·5 months agoYoutube definitely hinders the experience if you have adblockers. I’ve had a page load instantly and the video start to buffer immediately, only to refresh on its own a fraction of a second later, load the page slowly, and then wait about 10 seconds before any buffering would happen. If adblockers are disabled, the page loads instantly and the video buffers immediately.
I also regularly get the little popup in the corner saying “Experiencing interruptions?” but shockingly only if the adblocker is enabled. Weird.

Now I’m not advocating for the assasination of the entire Supreme Court, but it apparently would be legal, along with a whole host of other unsavory things that could solve many of those issues.

They used a napkin, not an actual towel. The French word for napkin is serviette, which is also the word for towel.
