Don’t forget the reverse Romanian Wilkinson.

Not quite correct. Kazakhstan is in central Asia, not Europe, even by a loose definition. Instead, Belgium (Brussels vs. Antwerp) and - by some definitions of Europe - Turkey (Ankara vs. Istanbul) should be on your list.
Wikipedia has a complete list.
Edit: Germany used to be a case that did this intentionally until 1990. While it was split into West and East Germany, West Germany chose Bonn as its capital as Berlin was surrounded by East Germany. They could have chosen a large city like Hamburg, Munich, Cologne or Frankfurt but went with the much smaller Bonn to symbolize that it was only a temporary solution.
Habe gestern ein Experiment gewagt. Mit süßem Senf. War gar nicht mal so schlecht.
To add some more, here's a list of stuff that I would love to do at some point but haven't found the time yet:
- A tool that directly translates PCB designs into a format that my resin 3D printer can read so I can abuse its display as a UV etching machine
- An alternative to GPlates that's a bit easier to use for fantasy worldbuilding. GPlates is great but it's mostly meant for serious scientific work so its UI is a bit complicated.
- A minimalistic blogging platform that interfaces with ActivityPub
- Many, many games.
Instead of a long-winded post, here's a quick list of stuff that I've worked on in my free time over the last few months:
- Some scripts to automatically set some metadata on my photo library
- A tool that grabs a video stream from an HDMI input (from the OS's point of view that looks just like any webcam), finds text in it and overlays a translation. I use that to play Japanese visual novels on my Switch
- A simple Bubble Shooter game because my gf was frustrated with some bugs in the one she had found online
- A simple 2D game engine and editor inspired by RPG Maker XP
- Updates to the registration website for a community event that I host twice a year
- Updates to a discord bot that automates some dice rolls for my online TTRPG sessions
- A browser extension that helps me scrape some data from a specific website
- Helped a friend port an old website from PHP5 to PHP8
Overall, it's mostly stuff that is useful for my hobbies for which I can't find an existing solution that fits my use case.
All of the Discworld books of course. Or at least your favorites.
Could be a mild form of synesthesia or just some subconscious memory.
Anyway, what colors are the following:
- Wednesday (the weekday, not the Addams family character)
- science
- heartbreak
- fantasy
- the letter F
- infinity
Damn, you were faster than I was, I was just calculating the same thing. All I have left is to assume that they won't be able to fully dry the silver and guess a bit higher... 850g.
Foreign dubs are basically whole movies lipsynced from start to finish and that happens all the time.
Never said that. I said I rarely block people in general, not that there are few trolls.
But sure, if you want to increase the size of my block list, calling my post "some bs" just because my experience is different from yours is probably a good start. Let's see if I'll stick around long enough to get so annoyed that I need to block you or if I just walk away.
I block people very rarely (I think I have just two or three blocks on Lemmy and Mastodon combined) but when I do it's because of tone, not because of content. I'm fine with reading things I don't agree with or that I think are disconnected from reality. As you say, it gives you an idea of what others think. But if someone is needlessly and consistently rude, I just don't need that in my life.
Oh, TIL that the small part by the Caspian Sea is far enough west to be considered Europe. Thanks for the correction.
