Not in Canada and I believe also not in the US. The yellow only comes before red, not before green.
Here it’s red, green, yellow, red, green, yellow…

This reminds me of the death penalty. Killing someone because that person killed is still killing someone.
However society choses to do it, it’s still killing someone. Because killing is bad so if you kill, someone will kill you. Oh no, it’s not a murder. It’s a state employee that works in the correction department. Killers are not okay. The executioner is only applying the lethal will of society towards killers by unaliving them. It’s not murder, it’s justice!
But it was maybe a few months old at best. Maybe it had a defective battery from the start but I contacted Xiaomi and I’ve been told it was “normal” in “winter”. Then when I looked online for this issue with Xiaomi phones, the people on the forums said it was “normal”, and that I expected too much.
In the end it was probably a defective battery. I couldn’t believe that they were selling millions of these and that people always just kept them warm all the time. Like, they have a proper winter too in some parts of China, and I can’t imagine millions of people having their phone dying on them as soon as we get into sweater weather.
But obviously this left a bad taste in my mouth. This and having to ask permission to root my phone.
I decided not to buy another Xiaomi phone when the one I previously had would turn off when it was a bit mildly cool outside.
Like, I would take it out of my pocket to look at bus schedules but it would turn off after a few seconds of being exposed to 5°C, saying the battery was dead. Another time I had it attached to my bike handlebar and it kept turning off because apparently 13°C with the wind was also too chilly. Every time that fucking Xiaomi phone was feeling a bit chill, the battery would just die. And not even in freezing temps!
I looked online and everone of the fanboys on the forums kept saying that this is normal, battery performance degrades in winter, that iPhones do the same, and apparently all other phones do the same. In short, I had unreasonable expectations.
Yet, all my other phones’ batteries didn’t die within seconds of taking them out of my pocket, even in winter.
So, I don’t have to bother with their names anymore.
I hated school because there was a bunch of kids mocking and laughing at me for most of it.
I guess some popular kids had good times by pulling my pants down or constantly hitting my chair during class. They must reminisce and miss those times, when they were laughing with their peers.
Ah, so the German pillow.
Every time I got a hotel in Germany the pillows were big but thin, and folding them in half is too much fluff. Now when I go to Germany I bring my own inflatable camping pillow.
I never really liked Skype but seeing a major corporation buy proprietary software and its servers, then shut it down, makes me glad that I’m still using IRC with some of my friends. Try buying that.
Anyway I’m getting old now because Microsoft doing something like this just reminds me of their EEE strategy.
Ironically, saying thank you to machines is wasting energy and costing millions.
Yuck, I’m not waiting for it. If possible I’d like to run away from that thing. I only associate it with corporations and work.
Yes, obviously the poor and desperate should be better educated and know better.
DB doesn’t hold a candle to VIA Rail. Germans and Europeans in general like to mock DB, and with reason, but as a Canadian, I’m still so very jealous of DB.
Due to [these] restrictions, 80 per cent of trips suffered delays of more than 10 to 15 minutes in February between Quebec City and Windsor, where the majority of Via trains operate. In January, 67 per cent of trains were late on the same corridor. Delays have been even greater between Quebec City and Ottawa this year, affecting 94 per cent of trains last month and 86 per cent in January.
Yes, we’re seeing that right now in the US. Armed minorities are rising up against the emerging fascist government.
In fact, this government is showing clear signs of wanting to repeal gay marriage and rights for LGBTQ people, and I’m sure them being armed will prevent all of this.
And then you will be disappeared for being against genocide.
EDIT: Sorry I meant for being pro Hamas.
English instructions ruined, must use French instructions! “Le grille!?” What the hell is that!?
2·5 months agoI must have been around 13/14years old. I asked for it. We had an old PC with the original game on it and I learned there were new versions, so I asked for the newest one. My parents knew about the original game but since it was just blocky DOS graphics, they thought it would be something similar. However in retrospect, it’s not at the level of letting a 5 yo play GTA.
I normally use bluetooth headphones so I don’t use the adapters enough to have any that broke yet. I keep a pair of wired headphones as a backup, and sometimes I want to connect my phone to old speakers, so the adapter is useful in those cases.
I guess if you’re using that adapter every day it might indeed break faster.
However where I live you can find them at the dollar store for something like $4.
Yes, green means go!11! Even there’s an old lady that just didn’t finish crossing yet, she just had to do it in the few seconds allowed.
My favorite one is people honking at other drivers for not blocking an intersection because “it’s green!”. I don’t know the term in English but in French it’s a mix of intersection and blocage. Like, if the light is green but there is no space to advance because of gridlock, some apparently like to make it worse by advancing their car in an intersection and sit there while it turns red, and thus blocking the intersection. BuT It WaS GreEn!
