I also don't own a Steam deck and have a good PC with a curved screen. And for couch co-op even a 4k projector with a 100 inch screen.

But I definitely understand that there are uses for being able to take all your games with you and play them anywhere. I already sit at my desk for hours at work.

Of course, it depends a lot on the genre. Competitive FPS or RTS I would rather not play on the small screen, but games like Dave The Diver, Dredge or Balatro sound perfect to me.

Exactly! Bicycle pedals have a left-hand thread on the left-hand side and "normal" threads on the right-hand side.

In the plumbing sector, left-hand threads are used whenever two pipe ends need to be connected that cannot be rotated. The connector is then equipped with a left-hand and right-hand thread and can therefore easily be screwed between them.

So it's not just typical for Nordic countries, but depends on the application.

VPNs aren't working unfortunately, at least if you're not logged in. They completely block the site when you're trying to access reddit via VPN. This is a VPN related forum where this is discussed.

It's just referring to the principle and doesn't need to be translated.

From the Wiki article:

"Yes, and...", also referred to as "Yes, and..." thinking, is a rule-of-thumb in improvisational comedy that suggests that an improviser should accept what another improviser has stated ("yes") and then expand on that line of thinking ("and").[1][2][3] The improvisers' characters may still disagree.[1]

Aus meiner Erfahrung ist die Qualität der Paketdienste extrem abhängig von den lokalen Gegebenheiten: Wer ist der Subcontractor? Wie weit ist der nächste Hub entfernt? Gibt es Paketshops auf der Hauptroute? Sind die Zusteller immer für das gleiche Gebiet eingeteilt?

Wo ich jetzt wohne, präferiere ich DHL, weil ich mittlerweile alle Zusteller kenne und sie genau wissen, wo die Pakete abgestellt werden können. Ich weiß aber auch, wenn das Paket bis Mittags nicht da ist, wird es an dem Tag nichts mehr.

Bei DPD weiß ich schon vorher, dass es nicht klappen wird und die Pakete 1:1 im Paketshop landen. Sind für mich bei Amazon schon auf der Blockliste (geht ab der 3. Beschwerde).

Bei GLS ist es Glückssache, ob der Zusteller einen guten Tag hat und das Navi bedienen kann.

Hermes und Amazon schaffen es meistens auch, obwohl es immer andere Personen sind, die zustellen. Und die liefern auch noch später am Abend.

20 years ago, I wanted to jump onto a concrete table tennis table in the school playground from a standing position with both feet at the same time. I didn't make it and hit my shin up to the bone.

After it was stitched up, it became badly infected weeks later and I had to have another operation while on vacation.

Now I have a 1 inch scar directly on the shin bone which hurts a lot every time I hit it.

Here is the original source with better resolution.

Looks like a can of Tuborg beer.
