30 odd years of more or less peace and counting 🤞

That's to represent peace between the two factions.

Ah the meaning (and motive of the French ladies who designed it) is quite distinct though no doubt heavily influenced by the flag of the French Revolution.

Out of interest I looked up the price difference.

Typical fees per year in the EU range from zero up to around 3K euro (about $3500) with most being below 1K.

US starts at around 12K for in state public and goes well over 40 for private or out of state.

That's debt for life levels depending on the earning potential of your course.

Crazy financial gamble to have to take at 18.

 

Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to Irish nationalism,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).

Fascinating. Thanks.

Just for clarity, I can't legally call someone an idiot in Germany?

I did this on one of their videos just last week. Annoyed the piss out of me. I think they changed the title too.

Instant subscribe with bell for me. Looks like they only put out videos every few months.

Hell yeah!

It is without doubt my favourite photo of all time. I'm glad you got a "hell yeah" from it too. This thread has some gems.

Absolutely superb video. Thanks for posting. So much detail!

 

So, not uBlock or whatever as everyone's aware of that.

Mine (all Firefox):

Video Speed Controller. LOVE this one. A tiny widget appears on any video showing current speed and you hit a key to +10% / -10% (I have mine mapped to [ and ]). You can also hide the little widget (v) if you're watching a movie etc.

Very handy for sites that don't support changing video speed or have limited options.

Quick cookie manager - Allows you to delete all cookies on a page that you've visited. Very handy when "reject all" leaves you with like 20 cookies anyway.

Netflux - 1080p Netflix on Linux. Can be a little fiddly at times but it does work.

 
 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

 

I used to love the bench sub in the other place, went to post a picture to /c/bench and realised it didn't exist so I'm being the change I want to see in Lemmy.

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
 
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!
