Conservatives often cosplay or try to present themselves as “non-political”. In their mental map there’s not a rich tapestry of various political preferences; there’s “political” (left) and “normal” (guess).

Really, the only difference is how much blood you want to see. Result’s pretty much the same.

Considering modern US history you could put them in high school, I guess?

Depends on your country. In countries with proportional representation you can vote for the party you like. If you’re voting tactically you’re down to the coalition you like.

E.g. here in Norway we get minority coalitions all the time. It’s fine. They have to (gasp) cooperate with others to get anywhere.

Yeah, let’s have a go with the ACI (anti-coercion instrument) and see if we can’t make their patents free game. Playing to Trump’s tune is unlikely to work out well

Yes I’m being sarcastic, but I also think utf-8 is plaintext these days. I really can’t spell my name in US ASCII. Like the other commenter here went into more detail on, it has its history, but isn’t suited for today’s international computer users.

It’s also some surprise internal representation as utf-16; that’s at least still in the realm of Unicode. Would also expect there’s utf-32 still floating around somewhere, but I couldn’t tell you where.

And is mysql still doing that thing with utf8 as a noob trap and utf8_for_real_we_mean_it_this_time_honest or whatever they called it as normal utf8?

Yes, I am joking. We probably could do something like the old iso-646 or whatever it was that swapped letters depending on locale (or equivalent), but it’s not something we want to return to.

It’s also not something we’re entirely free of: Even though it’s mostly gone, apparently Bulgarian locales do something interesting with Cyrillic characters. cf https://tonsky.me/blog/unicode/

To unjerk, as it were, it was a thing. So on old systems they’d do stuff like represent æøå with the same code points as {|}. Curly brace languages must have looked pretty weird back then:)

No, I’m pretty sure the weird o with the leg is in basic ASCII. It’s also missing Latin characters like Æ. It’s a very weird standard.

Q. P is a common character across languages. But Q is mostly unused, at least outside the romance languages who appear to spell K that way. But that can be solved by letting the characters have the same code point, and rendering it as K in most regions, and Q in France. I can’t imagine any problems arising from that. :)

I’m not entirely sure here, but you are aware you’re in a humour community, yeah?

If it’s any help, I only ever had it at my nonna’s and she died of old age some years ago. I’ve thought about seeing if I could find a recipe, but I also don’t want to be banned from Italy and Italian restaurants

It’s a joke because it includes useless letters nobody needs, like that weird o with the leg, and a rich set of field and record separating characters that are almost completely forgotten, etc, but not normal letters used in everyday language >:(

Nudie is Swedish afaik, yeah.

With ASCII æs the åriginal sin. Can’t even spell my name with that joke of an encoding >:(

There’s some interest in attracting non-awful people from the US. Get a bit of a brain drain going from there:)

What, like an anglophone who can’t tell the difference between the i and y sounds?

(Or do the anglos actually pronounce it “tajpst”?)

And the macaroni soup with sugar and cinnamon?
