In Swedish, ”tja” is an informal greeting, and so is ”tjena”. A usual exchange at the checkout of my local grocery store would be:
”Tja!”
”Tjena!”
”Kvitto?” (Receipt?)
”Nej tack” (No thanks)
While trying not to make eye contact because we don’t do that here.

(Btw, the German and Swedish ”tja” are pronounced differently, so this joke works only in text.)

I read someone else musing that they must have thought that keeping it plugged in all the time would be bad, so the made it impossible to use the mouse while plugged in. Seems plausible. I suppose it would degrade the battery? Or the cord drag would be bad?

Maybe there’s too many shelves? I’m only half joking.

According to the methodology section of the report it is indeed based on the companies’ disclosed policies etc. What is problematic from my point of view though is that Hyundai didn’t even try to comment on the report when they were shown the draft. Sounds to me like they do not care.

See, I was going to get an ioniq or a Kia. And then Amnesty International released a report that makes it clear just why they are priced so nicely: by exploiting people and the environment, and not caring.

Tesla is getting a very good result in that report (or, let’s say, as good as any EV maker gets). It’s a shame I can’t consider them.

If Musk wasn’t with Tesla, I’d consider Tesla an option. And, I’m definitely in the market, my lease runs out in January. But with that idiot, nope. No chance. Doesn’t even have anything to do with Trump support. So I guess he’s right in a way?

Because your family back home will be in for it.

Well the like article has a date in 2013 at the top.

The worst thing of the root canal for me was that they had a hard time getting the numbing agent where it needed to go, so they used a lot, so half my face was numb for the rest of the day. So I looked really weird when eating/drinking/speaking/smiling.

Man könnte ja die Schuhe auf dem Boden stehen lassen, nur mit Socken auf die Hose?

No, but the adoption rate is likely related to how useful the language is?

I suspect there’s more people who speak Python fluently than Esperanto. So that comparison sits very wrong with me. The rest was funny :)
