  • Over here the “biggest” suvs I regurally see are the size of VW Tiguan. I believe Volvos XC40 and XC60 are pretty popular amongst the richer crowd.

    But the most common is probably Kia Sportage. The text book example of a SUV which is engineered to look big, but it’s actually not at all and is overall a very cheap car.

    Volvo V70 used to be the most popular car over here, now we’ve all fallen for the SUV scam :(


  • Modern SUVs are actually tiny, but look big, as far as I’ve seen here in Sweden. I’ve more then once parked next to a SUV I thought was big, then as I get out of my Volvo V70 I realise it’s very often just a Kia Picanto-esque car which had been raised, given a muffin top and ridiculously big wheels.







  • Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to… I don’t care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.

    We did something like that. We both had talked about getting married, so we were both on the same page (this is very important). We both went and looked at rings, decided which we’d want and which sizes fit us, then I bought them and asked the jewler to engrave the date of the proposal. The wife wasn’t allowed to see, obviously, so she only knew that it was going to happen *someday * but not when.

    The date went great and she said yes. Everyone happy.

    I recommend my colleague to do the same. He did not. Now he’s trying to return the ring which is both too big and wrong style.

    It’s not wrong, but it feels a bit like some tech articles you’ll see which are obviously just created to fluff up a CV. I wouldn’t say avyttring here is flat out wrong, just kinda… lacking.

    But yeah, /boot holds “system boot loader files”, sure, but that’s a bit vague. It should contain your kernel and initramcpio and IIRC Grub also had its config here. That’s pretty much it. I would’ve rather said /boot contains the kernel.

    “device files” it’s so vague that it’s almost wrong IMO. At first glaze I would’ve thought that it means drivers rather than, say, “interfaces to devices”
