If you got everything gifted your family that would be an alien idea.
Tbh though I think that times have changed, now it seems there is a massive surplus of workers for every position.
I'm in Gemany and our English teacher made everybody read Shakespeare, Dickens and more in the original. I estimate at least 1/3 of our class had reached a C1/C2 level of English after 3 years of his class.
I have no idea. I saw the news article in a newspaper based in Luxembourg first, but it was in French. So I searched for an English version to share and found this one from Malaysia.
This news comes just two days after @[email protected] asked Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? on [email protected]. To cite a response from the thread:
Usually it’s pretty safe except when there are calves on the field. It happens every year that some tourists (especially with dogs) go through a field with calves and their mothers and someone gets injured. - @[email protected]
This comment is backed up by a statement from the linked article:
Emergency service personnel cited by Austrian media warned of the danger of dogs getting near cows. “Cows have a very strongly developed maternal instinct and defend their calves,” said an emergency service source cited by news agency APA.
The woman was with her two daughters and two dogs when the incident happened.
A hiker in the Austrian Alps died when a herd of cows charged her, while her two daughters survived with injuries [...]. The woman was on a hike with her two daughters [...] and two small dogs yesterday [...] in the Salzburg region when the cow herd charged [...]. “It is still not clear what happened,” a police spokesman [said].
What an awful match. 16 yellow cards and 1 red during the match alone, with extra yellows and reds after the match (WTF). A streaker (clothed) ran out before the match was over, which somehow led to a brawl between Czech and Turkish players. The gameplay was kinda boring too. I should have watched Georgia v. Portugal instead, that game was nuts.
As a man: Prepare to be rejected over and over, to feel disposible and useless, unwanted and nobody likes you and you will never be as good as other men and you might as well end it now.
As a woman: Prepare to meet men who have the biggest mommy issues, to be called an entitled bitch and everybody who likes you will promptly abandon you once they figure out who you really are.
These apps prey on your worst anxieties about yourself, and then sell you the remedy: An outrageously expensive subscription to skip past the chaff and find your true life mate. Except, then you'd leave the platform, and you'd stop paying up. Match group is busy gobbling up every dating app they can get their hands on and they will stop at nothing to turn them all into the same steaming pile of shit.

ShellCheck is a static analysis tool for bash/sh scripts - try it on your scripts. The README also shows some examples of what (not) to do.
The link to your project gives me a 404 btw, is it a private repository?
Why are you lumping emergency services delivery drivers when that wasn't park of the discussion?
Because the article shows a callout of what looks like a police vehicle with flashing sirens ^^' I forgot to bring that up in my comment. I agree with your points. Honestly I haven't even considered loading zones because they're very rare where I live. And our parking spots are barely large enough to fit a regular sized car, let alone a proper truck ^^
It looks like an IQ test
I like this change. I never liked infinite scroll. Most implementations work poorly if at all with bad internet connections, it is harder to write userscripts for it and I like a second to consider if I should really continue looking at this page.
Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power
I'm a cyclist. Delivery drivers and emergency services have to park in no-parking zones to do their job. It doesn't make sense to park anywhere except on the very right of the road (or left in left driving countries). And that just coincides with the bike lane.
Also, on the bike lane, they'll bother fewer people than on the car lane. At least in the street I live on, fifty cars will pass before one bike does - as unfortunate as that fact is.
Even if they did park on the car lane, a bike would still have to grind to a near halt because now you have a gap where the driver might pop out in front of their truck to walk to the storefront.
Delivery drivers also frequently block driveways and prevent cars from going in or out. It's not like they have a vendetta against bikes.
I'm also glad they do their job because having goods delivered might be the only viable option if you don't have a car. And finally, delivery drivers are mostly underpaid immigrants, cut them some slack.
I love this. But in a crowded spot, do remember to be very prudent. Pedestrians and turning cars often take halted traffic as an invitation to cross the bike lane without looking.

The UPS truck and the truck loading/unloading goods don't deserve a call out imo
Aw thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words a lot! I understand your perspective too and you are very right to be cautious.
What are your favorite openings to a book?
In an interview with recently deceased author Paul Auster, he says the following:
> When I was 9 or 10, my grandmother gave me a six-volume collection of books by Robert Louis Stevenson, which inspired me to start writing stories that began with scintillating sentences like this one: “In the year of our Lord 1751, I found myself staggering around blindly in a raging snowstorm, trying to make my way back to my ancestral home.”
This encouraged me to browse my bookshelf and search for those scintillating first sentences. As it turns out, many of the books that I loved the most really do pack a punch before the end of their first paragraph. Here's my personal selection. Unlike Auster's example, the ones I am sharing do not immediately drop you in the middle of the action, as the number of adventure books on my bookshelf is marginal. However, I do feel they capture a lot about the protagonist and set the tone for the novel.
I would love for you to share yours.
The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster: > I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I traveled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain.
Moon Palace by Paul Auster: > It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but I did not believe there would ever be a future.
The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger > If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin by David Nobbs > When Reginald Iolanthe Perrin set out for work on the Thursday morning, he had no intention of calling his mother-in-law a hippopotamus.

I cannot make any post/comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash]passwd on lemmy.world
When I try to submit a post or comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash] passwd, the submit button goes into a loading state and spins indefinitely. The request is blocked by Cloudflare with status code 403. I can't even search for the forbidden string. You have to check dev tools to find out what went wrong, this error is not handled in the UI at all.
So, if you've ever tried to reply to a tech issue and the UI just won't let you, maybe this is why.
Firefox stops loading pages seemingly at random, shows NS_BINDING_ABORTED, have to restart
Sometimes I'll be browsing Firefox and things go wrong seemingly at random - all pages load indefinitely or show a screen indicating failure to load. This can be fixed by running pkill firefox and then starting a new instance. A look at Dev Tools shows that all requests fail and a message NS_BINDING_ABORTED is shown. I have looked up "firefox NS_BINDING_ABORTED" but none of the results 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 provided any solution.
Does anyone here know more about this issue?
