I grew up in Hungary and Germany, and lived most of my early adulthood in Hungary. Later in life I moved to Québec, where I reside now.

In Germany, I had English starting grade five.

In Hungary, Russian was mandatory until 1989. After '89 it was elective between Russian, German, English or, in some schools, French. I opted for German starting grade 6 at a German ethnicity school, but felt like it was a mistake, since I was already native level, but the (non-native) teachers kept trying to one-up me in their broken knowledge of the language. Starting grade eight I’ve transferred to a school that had Russian only, but since I had no prior knowledge of it, but already spoke German and English, I was exempted from it. In high school I’ve opted for English.

My kids go to French language schools in Montréal and have English as a foreign language. We speak English at home. Almost ten years in and I still don’t speak French. My kids don’t speak either Hungarian or German.

Just like the other Canadian poster’s daughter in this thread stated, my wife learned near native level French, even as a non-Québecois, simply on the premise of Canada supposedly being a bilingual country. This seems to hold a lot of truth in Ontario, Montréal and New Brunswick, but outside of these provinces and cities, it seems to be much more mono-lingual in practice. Montréal is truly wild though. People very often speak three or more languages here.

Sadly, AMD is in Israel as well, although to a lesser degree.

Anti-cm0002 filter means that you can’t filter cm0002 when on piefed. Going by the logic.

My only experience with Romania is Cluj, exactly ten years ago, but even compared to Hungary I’ve felt like I’ve travelled over two decades back in time. Badly designed car infrastructure, no transit to speak of, cars on sidewalks that you need to squeeze by, restaurants that MAY have a tiny non-smoker section…

The phrase is “two sides of the same coin”. Meaning exactly what you are saying. That they are both the capitalist party. As opposed to another proverbial coin, that of the socialists, anarchists, Monarchist, etc.

You mean the two faces of the same fucking coin.

This is pretty bad.

Could anyone list me all the cm repost bots? I thought I had squelched all of them.

Which is labeled Justice.

Those are not the EU though.

Just like Canadian and American are not an ethnicity. Canadians and Americans have ethnic origins, wherever they are from or are the descendants of.

Israel is stolen land by settlers from locals.

Israeli is not an ethnicity.

I work in fintech, and the way VISA and Mastercard (and Amex to a certain degree) just skim every transaction, along with the payment gateways, is disgusting. Online payments should be a national utility or supra-national entity, not-for-profit.

I’d love to visit China, but that photo is anything but alluring to me heh

Cesar Salad -> President Salad

Pizza -> American Pie

tbh I looked at audio jacks in internals, and they do usually have double the footprint on a pcb than what you see outside of it, at least on low end consumer devices:

That’s not to say that they couldn’t put anything more compact in a highend device like a smart phone.
