The vehicles also make vibrator companies?

There are approximately two metric shit tons of planets. I assume scientists have better things to do with their time than to sit around and think of names to give to every single one of those.

I know the frustration of trying to reprogram cheap Chinese esp32 knock offs that refuse to enter bootloader mode. Those nasa guys have to be some of the most patient people on earth. Up there with special education teachers.

Different in what way? Does it regrow as an underdeveloped shadow of its former self?

It is true that it was a Turk that marketed it as such, but it's mostly the Germans that are so insistent on claiming it's a German invention. The only Turks I've seen that weren't largely indifferent were those who made and sold the stuff, but even the non-döner-worker Germans can be weirdly militant about it especially after a few drinks.

In any case, why it was named that is irrelevant to the point. Which is that we're being pedantic in this thread and, strictly speaking, the name is wrong. It is in gross violation of the unwritten döner naming conventions. But obviously I'm not holding my breath for any official rebranding.

Germany did not invent döner kebap and it's insane that they claim that. Anyone who insists on it displays a tragic lack of understanding about what a kebab even is and should be ashamed of themselves.

What they did invent is their own way of preparing and serving döner kebab, an existing dish that is itself a variation of other existing dishes that came before it. In the kebab world, that's not only allowed but also basically encouraged. Everyone is welcome to modify dishes to their heart's desire. There are countless kebab dishes in Turkish cuisine that are nothing more than slight variations on existing dishes. What you should do after creating your own variant, however, is to also give it your own name to mark the difference. That's what the Germans have not done. They're continuing to use the name of a dish they did not invent. That's a bit of a dick move. Seriously, look up Adana kebab and Urfa kebab. They're essentially the exact same thing except one is hot and the other is not. Yet they have different names, because that's how it's done.

The German döner kebab is a distinctly different thing than the "real" döner kebab. According to the long standing kebab traditions, it must be given its own name. Otherwise no, döner kebab was most certainly not invented in Germany. Name it something else and make a proper claim. It would even help enrich your exceptionally poor and boring cuisine a little bit.

Never seen tearing look like a cracked mirror.

It doesn't have discussions, it doesn't offer pull request management with commented/annotated code reviews, it doesn't have built-in ssh and key management features, no workflows, no authorization tools of any kind...

In short I find the "just use git itself lmao" to be an exceedingly weird thing to say and I find it even weirder that it gets said as often as it does and it gets upvoted so much. Git by itself is not very useful at all if there are more than one a half people working on the same code.

I don't know about upset.

You refer to it as gnu/Linux, I won't be upset. I'll just slightly roll my eyes at your choosing to utter such an inconvenient word to make a point that doesn't really need to be made. But ultimately it's your breath that is being wasted not mine, so I don't really care.

You start arguing about it, then it gets annoying because give it a rest. I am perfectly aware that gnu is a core part of the whole thing, I just don't think it matters that I verbally pay tribute to it every single time I mention Linux. One word is enough to let you know wtf I'm talking about 99.999999% of the time, so I'm not adding another one that's already implied basically always. Still not upset though.

It's the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.

One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we'd disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn't actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said "see, I told you it would help I know my stuff". He did not, in fact, know his stuff.

Excuse me if I don't appreciate when the compiler adamantly refuses to do its job when there's one single unused variable in the code, when it could simply ignore that variable and warn me instead.

I also don't enjoy having to format datetime using what's probably the most reinventing-the-wheel-y and most weirdly US-centric formatting schemes I have ever seen any programming language build into itself.

Unfortunately, as of 29.05.2024, carrying laptops in your pocket is still slightly too uncomfortable.
