A mimosa is excellent for this purpose. And it’s pretty too.

Sixpack of beer? (Optionally alcohol-free, if his bad behavior is related to alcohol abuse.)

There’s no Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. blockchain, after all.

Microsoft Azure used to have a blockchain (aaS) implementation, iirc. It just wasn’t useful to their customers or profitable to them.

I think IBM also used to dabble in blockchain tech.

Not a single mention of “blockchain”, “decentralization”, “DeFi”, “dApps”, “NFTs”, DAOs", or “aping in” because “WAGMI”. I am disappointment.

You may be using something that counteracts the ads. Such as an ad blocker.

!artporn@lemm.ee. This one has a rather prolific mod, craftyindividual, who not only single-handedly keeps up the community but also posts a large variety of artwork.

Is your company mandating Push Authentication or are you entering 6-digit codes?

If it’s the former, MS Authenticator is the only option.

If it’s the latter, you can use any TOTP app you like, e.g. Aegis.

Push Authentication in the MS Authenticator is Microsoft’s proprietary thing. And I think that’s probably what we’re talking about here.

Glasses.

You’re right, I forgot about the fact that there’s a literal translation. But besides being gender-neutral, both sayings mean the same, no?

My main point was that many Germans now regularly use the pear-tree malapropism, however.

German for “like father, like son” is “the apple doesn’t fall far off the tree trunk”. But many people nowadays use “the apple doesn’t fall far off the pear tree”, which is a variant that I think originally was supposed to suggest illegitimate fatherhood.

Yes, that’s where it’s from.

I guess we use “Making gold from straw” (German).

You’re not wrong, and yet it’s the name of a fairly popular porn series where actresses exchange a cab ride for sexual favors (that’s the story idea at least).

It’s popular enough that there is a significant number of people (vulgo, “creeps”) who put Fake Taxi stickers all over their cars.

Nature religions were right and we’re all part of a single bigger organism of which every part can feel and communicate with every other part.

Bomfunk MC’s Freestyler is the peak of musical creation. (Ok, prolly no but I love coming back to it.)

(Fwiw, initially I read “triple !” (i.e. !!! or ChkChkChk) in your op comment and thought why?, that’s a great band.)

Capitalist economies are not sustainable. That’s kind of their point: Line goes up, even though resources are finite (which economists conveniently ignore). Hence, they can’t be sustained ad infinitum. We’re all borrowing/stealing from somewhere, including from nature. (And the harder we believe in capitalism, the faster humanity will crash because resources are getting used up.)

Ultimately, money is a means to an end anyway: Making sure society functions well enough that everyone has food and shelter. Other than that, it’s just imaginary figures.

They look like the wading birds I liked seeing so much in Spanish rice paddies.

All humans (which afaik includes royals) are animals anyway.

I hear that Amazon sells a locked-down e-reader, they’re the market leader as well.
