“Break a leg” (or “Hals und Beinbruch” in German, which is “Neck and leg fracture”).

I don’t even know what the logic could be. Is it supposed to be some sort of reverse psychology?

It depend on the context/group.

At work, no biggie, it just tells me that you acknowledge my message and currently have nothing useful to add.

With my friends, who usually heavily rely on emojis and “oldtimey smileys” (like xD or y.y)? Ya, unless you completely eminate happiness and friendship, I’m concerned about your mood / standing with me.

As @[email protected] mentioned, that is actually not allowed and against the spirit of the “cookie banner law”. But since hundreds, if not thousands of sites break this law, it takes quite the time for government workers to sift through all of that (provided they even get around to it).

Big agree on all of that, including the Any Austin recommendation!

Skyrim is amazing for this kind of mindfulness with its environments. The NPCs are a little so-so (once you spend an extended amount of time at the same location) but you can’t go wrong with setting up campfire and just taking in the wilderness and everything around you. X4 Foundations actually is pretty great, too, for this vibe-intake, when you land on a station and just exist (or sneak into another captain’s ship and see where it takes you)

I occasionally check my surroundings (especially when staying at a spot for more than just a couple minutes) for potential ambush and sniper locations.

The funny part about that is that I only served for two years and not once left my home country to even be at risk of combat.

You’re right! I thought of the typical soda can and, as far as I remember, those tabs are lifted a little so you can get underneath even by just shoving your finger skin in. But just yesterday I tried opening a can of tuna and was surprised not only by how naturally I do the little lift with my finger nails but also by how very difficult it is to open when you don’t use your fingernails.

Genuine question because this might be a design difference between your country and Germany, where I’m from: Can you not lift the tab a little bit with the skin of your finger and then just pull on it? Are they welded onto the can?

This is my reasoning, too. I keep my keyboard QWERTZ + German Umlaute, but almost everything else is set to English. Pretty much the only exception are videogames and movies that have a superior German version to them (like Kingdom Come Deliverance)

Samesies!

One very important word of caution (unfortunately coming from experience): Syncthing, as the name suggests, makes it so the content of one device is the same as that of another device. So, even if you have one device set to only receive data, it means that if you delete a file from the sending device, the receiving device will also delete that file to stay in sync with the sending device.

There is a way to use Syncthing as a simple backup storage program (not necessarily the best solution but much better than manually backing up your files every few months and just hoping for the best). But it means that you have to use the advanced folder option “ignoreDelete”. I also use the file versioning system, so even if something is automatically deleted by mistake, it’s still versioned in a special subfolder and accessible to me.

Yeah. The clown award (and similar “derogatory” awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.
