I so wanted to ridicule the ruble, but Forint is like the quarter of the value, still.

UPDATE: It’s a bit hard to go through every pixel, but what you can see on the photo is about ~250K HUF which is the equivalent of ~600 euros.

Then take Turkey

You underestimate the power of us, print debuggers.

Nah, thanks for your insights - since there’s nobody from Royal Fail actually chiming in, people who had done some poking around before are the best I could have, so thanks for the info.

So this morning, as a night owl, I decided to make a sacrifice and took an early train to the delivery office (which is open between 8AM and 10AM, but I get it, otherwise the parcels are en route during the day). I asked the guy at the window about it, being fully aware that he might or might not be part of the actual delivery process; not blaming, not interrogating, just simply asking if he knows what the heck is going on.

Yupp, he confirmed what everyone has been commenting about, lol. He didn’t have anything other in mind, apart from the afternoon delivery guy cutting corners. I can still imagine it’s because they are loaded with work (it happens to be the case at my job) and it’s literally impossible to make everyone happy, but management refuses to pay more people. Or he’s just lazy. I don’t know, but the bottom line is, it wasn’t because of some technical nuance, bureaucracy, barometric pressure change in the stratosphere or God knows what. Most likely, he had the parcel but decided to bring the red slip only.

My trust in humanity is in the negatives.

I honestly asked this question from an “I would actually like to understand” point of view. My goal was not to get as many “because they are lazy fucks” kind of answers as possible, but I’m sure every single profession has its own lazy workers.

However, in almost every single profession there are things you can’t help, and outsiders will look at your work and blame you for it. You need to send a report but the IT guy couldn’t get there to fix your laptop? Others will think you can’t be arsed. You’re an IT guy and need to fix a laptop but you’re stuck in traffic? Others will think you can’t be arsed. You’re a chef and the table that ordered a starter in the lunchtime rush still didn’t get their order (because of the other 43274 orders)? Others will think you can’t be arsed. “iT’s JuSt a StArTeR, wHaT tAkEs So LoNg?”.

I was wondering if there was something similar in the delivery process that prevents them from actually taking the parcel to the recipient. I’m past the ‘anger’ phase and I’m trying to make my way to ‘acceptance’.

I’ve been using the Casio W800 series (W800-H currently) for the past 12+ years. This is my 3rd watch, only because I simply lost the first two. However, it’s about the 6th strap, so it’s like the AK’s strap.

Yes! I guess you could be successful with Arabic, too; I know it has its own dialects and accents, but still. Outside of Hungary, the only places you can use it is the border areas in neighbouring countries.

BUT if you talk to a decent Hungarian in their own language they will self immolate from the awe (I would).

I dipped my toe into learning a bit of Polish which is considered damn hard but still not as hard as Hungarian. I noped out after a few weeks, even though I would still love to be able to speak it. I can’t even imagine how much of a pain it could be learning the top5-10 hardest languages like Hungarian.

And, as the LanguageSimp puts it: there’s not much DLC that you can unlock with it.

You can tell them you’re not wasting any of it because eventually it will be used, none of it will get spoiled and people tend to actually need that bog roll within a week or two. Also, it’s a ONE time “double” buy, because from then on you buy everything once just the same; you just make sure you don’t end up spending even MORE when you run out of the 24 roll TP bag and have to quickly buy a less eco 6-pack.

Interesting, I know this one with beer.

Buying another box, bag, etc. of soap, toilet paper, tooth paste and whatever long lasting product before it runs out. It doesn’t expire (fast), therefore I always have a second, full bag as a buffer, and as soon as I have to open the second one, I put it on the shopping list so there is always a buffer bag and I don’t get annoyed if I still forget to buy one or it’s out of stock.

It’s been years since I had to use some weird substitute for toilet paper.

I have to finish Attack on titan first.

Even if there was a single ad that I would want to click on, ever, I would still just simply look up the site instead. The only reason I’ve clicked an ad in the past 20 years was when I did it accidentally. They know that (as in, they know that the click ratio will be low) and I’m sure their goal is just for you to see the ad.

And the sink strainer is there to save and repurpose the corn.

Just buy a new sink after you unclogged it.

I can also imagine this happens when you get to ten, then the algorithm sees the increment over nine, modifies the offset, and then at ten you delete one tab, but the algorithm doesn’t expect you to downgrade from double digits and keeps the offset designed for double digits.

Some bosses want to make sure you can hear the music at a decent volume at the back tables. Meanwhile the front tables:

Insomnium. Beautiful, melodic solos, decent riffs.

You’re so right, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the correction!

I’ve watched a video about this recently. The problem is, most detectors were based on X-rays in the past decades. Liquid explosives are pretty close to the density (and/or other properties) of water, and you can’t tell for sure whether there’s toothpaste or boom juice in that tube.

However, some airports started using expensive MRI MRI like X-ray* machines that can see stuff in more detail, plus, it lets you to make cross sections from different angles and therefore have a 3D model that you can rotate on your screen (it’s rather cool).

EDIT: I just realised someone else linked this, too. I would leave it here, it’s still educational.
