Probably because they're all bumping into each other. If you don't have many you can put them in a cocktail shaker or a plastic water bottle and shake them it works pretty well, but anything plastic will absorb the garlic smell of course!

Yeah looks like most shared basements in my city. Every apartment has a private lock up like you can see on the right hand side in the image with the number 6 on it.

Where I live people have mixed langauge conversations fairly regularly by mixing their native language with whatever they're trying to learn - usually German or English, so that reaction is probably automatic.

Have you tried any of the news sources that aim to aggregate and debias news stories?

Two that I use are:

Ground.news

ImproveTheNews

They provide summaries, and also a breakdown of different sources reporting the stories. I find them pretty interesting and useful.

I use Ubuntu for work and have no issues with it to be honest. I install everything via apt, I think a few things are via snap but nothing that I've installed directly. It's stable and I can get on with stuff. I definitely am not a fan of the move towards snap and the app store: if I was to choose I'd go vanilla Debian.

Long time lurker here, 99% of the time I go to post a comment I delete it before posting like ah fuck it. I'm trying to engage a bit more now there are more users.

I'm on Kbin but I'm not really sure what the future of the project holds, and the lack of an app (except as PWA) makes the experience less enjoyable than Lemmy IMO. Also on Discuit which is smaller and feels pretty organic and relaxed; I tend to engage more there.

I aim to whelm.

Maybe whelmed is just the regular state of being: when expectations are lived up to, but not exceeded?

Obligatory switch from shapefile link.

Unfortunately Shapefile is a proprietary format developed by ESRI. QGIS handles it just fine though no problems.
