  • I’ve ordered a peperoni pizza in several countries in Europe and I’ve never herd this.

    Würst is the German word for sausage, and while I can easily imagine Germans saying peperoni-würst, I can’t imagine this being common outside of Germany.

    Pepperoni is an Italian style sausage, where the word and branding was made by Italian immigrants in the US.

    If you want to order a peperoni pizza in Europe, you might need to know what they call them there, even if they are excellent in speaking English.

    In Italy you would order a salame pizza. In eastern Europe, without speaking the local language, I’ve had to order a sausage pizza, and in any country more influenced by American culture, peperoni pizza is what you order. I haven’t ordered pizza in Germany, but I will probsbly do that now the next time.

    Interesting. What does the ^ do in this situation?

    And I just want to not respect an alias, so falls back to either builtin or path.

    In zsh or bash I can prefix the command with the word command, or a backslash (directly before the command)

    I’m a serious bash scripter, I mean I do it both at work and as a hobby. And zsh arrays are better. Like you can use negative indecees and stuff. I have only written shell functions in zsh (my primary shell), and not thousands of lines of scripts like I have for bash. But if zsh had as good documentation and language servers I’d probably do many scripts in zsh instead. But I can’t say for certain, as I am not as sure about performance in some situations and stuff.

    Why don’t I use posix shell if I care about performance? Because they are only faster in very simple scripts,


  • I’ve been married for years now, have multiple kids, my wife still makes fun of the fact that when she moved in with me, I had a pack of sausages, and a 6 pack of beer in the fridge…

    My issue with buying food, is that when I go to the store my ADHD kicks me in the face, and I don’t know what I need. I’d make a shopping list, but my ADHD don’t allow me to do that. I have to submit papers for the chance to get evaluated if I need adhd medication, but my ADHD stops me from doing that today, because the deadline doesn’t exist

    Ah this was me when I bought my first car… It was super cheap though. But it had just passed the EU control, so I thought it was safe to drive.

    Anyway, when I was driving my niece, and her friend, the fucking break disk rusted lose! I drove them fucking carefully to the train, and carefully drove home.

    I called my nieces father and confessed, and I asked him how to replace the breaks. He had never done it before, but he’s the kind of guy who reads something once and he remembers it. Anyway I drove to a shop and bought new break disks and pads, and some tools, and drove fucking carefully home.

    It took me 3 days to change the breaks, mainly because of the rust, I got a neighbor to help push the break piston back in, as the tool I bought was to weak. To top it of, I have either fibriomyalgia or rheumatism, and my fingers hurt for weeks after, even though it was the middle of the summer.

    The back breaks needs to be changed now. But I can’t do it in the winter, I can’t change the breaks in the back when it’s below zero outside. Wife just wants to buy a new (used) car, but our budget, due to needing a 6, 7 or 8 seater, would give us the same age, same length driven car. And we need to cars…
