Would take legal steps to get two booking.com apartments removed from our little apartments house, but there is nothing we can do. Guests smoke and bang doors (wooden house amplifies these sounds) and we just have to suck it up.


not sure it's whole goverment speaking here. week ago, Head of Payment and Settlement Systems Department of Eesti Pank told that crypto is a ponzi scheme


> cryptocurrencies

FTFY


That's a lost battle. At this stage a lot more people are aware of cryptocurrencies than of the concept of Cryptography, and slang like that always follows the majority consensus.


Everyone I know that refers to cryptocurrencies as "cryptos" are definitely aware that there is more to cryptography than tokens.

It absolutely is a battle we can win.


What battles has linguistic prescriptivism ever won?


literally every single one of them.


So what if someone thinks that GTA multiplayer has enough ways to communicate each other without transfering a word (for example driving a taxi means tuesday and changing a weapon you can direct message to ceratin person in team). This can be done in any video game that has multiplayer.



Weird there is still a little lag on multiplayer side.

Just did a quick game on MacOs vers and first thing i saw was a lot of "Username set latency to Extra High"


Counters, undetconstruction images

I remember we had a clientside script that changed ilayers to those weird div tags so you could drag stuff around in both broswers.

But rarely saw anyone use blink tag at all


Blink tags were annoying even then.


Agree on this specially if your grid= typical 2 or 3 column layout. You must be really bad at css to fail on this.

Doing front end for 30-40 sites a year from many many diffent designers for a long time and projects with bootstrap included have cost me more time spent in the end to it look right. Also BS class names are more visual than component based that can end up with some retarded hacks when design needs an update


different but cleaner readability trick for blocks containing text, with css: max-width:62em


Absolutely agree. This is the right way how medium to long block of text should be styled. Except 62ex, not em, IMO.
