Especially on IRC

Lol, 3 lanes is a normal highway over here.

When the resolution of so low you can’t find your own country

Saltlakrits. It’s amazing.

Install Gentoo and put the package on GURU, it’s really easy (and .ebuild > PKGBUILD)

I also don’t really know about English-speaking places, in writing we also go for 1,70 m over here

Hey, we use hectares sometimes, which are hm^2

Yeah, I never heard anyone tell their height in centimetres. It’s always like “I’m 1 metre 71” or so.

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer!

I didn’t know programming.dev censored words, that’s disappointing

It’s crazy to see how the city centre of Ghent (Belgium) changed when they banned non-emergency cars from people not living/working in the centre. It went from some huge carparks with a few people walking between them to large squares filled with people enjoying the city and people who live here.

Every day I bike besides the Coupure channel to the train station and in the city I work in, I walk to the office besides the Dender river. Good infrastructure is basically keeping my mental health afloat.

O, I see. I guess that makes it even more important to support your local baker/butcher/…, if you’ve still got one. But yeah, that’s a shitty situation.

Not American, but I try to buy most of my daily stuff from independent places instead of supermarkets. The social contacts at my local butcher, bakery, vegetable shop, fish shop, … is also much more enjoyable than stressing in the Colruyt or whatever. And the produce is way better.

Once they get to know you, they often give freebies too, like offcuts to make bouillon. And you get free cooking tips as well!

We did it!

I feel attacked in @dave@feddit.uk's place.

It apparently used to be a thing over here when my grandparents were young. People just liked toilet paper better.
