I’ve ordered a peperoni pizza in several countries in Europe and I’ve never herd this.

Würst is the German word for sausage, and while I can easily imagine Germans saying peperoni-würst, I can’t imagine this being common outside of Germany.

Pepperoni is an Italian style sausage, where the word and branding was made by Italian immigrants in the US.

If you want to order a peperoni pizza in Europe, you might need to know what they call them there, even if they are excellent in speaking English.

In Italy you would order a salame pizza. In eastern Europe, without speaking the local language, I’ve had to order a sausage pizza, and in any country more influenced by American culture, peperoni pizza is what you order. I haven’t ordered pizza in Germany, but I will probsbly do that now the next time.

And you have your kids in the car

Like Stuart from Mad TV?

Why not? First of I have all the episodes as mkv files, they are high quality but indeed compressed.

Second, if I will AI upscale the episodes, I want to use uncompressed video files, and then compress them after the upscale. Maybe 720p would be more than enough? Maybe 1080p? I don’t expect 1440p or 4k to improve the viewing experience much over 1080p

Lastly, in Norway, ripping DVDs for own use is specifically legal. The act of format shifting or making straight up copies at least of music got legal precidence about 20 years ago. I don’t remember exactly, just remember watching the news. Reasoning was, for the sake for format shifting, or making backups to preserve your original. Giving away, lending, or selling your backups was strictly made illegal, except if the original is included when you sell your backup. As well you can’t make a backup and sell the original without destroying the backup or including it with the sale.

One of the guys credited with breaking the dvd encryption was Norwegian. He didn’t do it alone, and last time I called him the guy who broke thebencruption, someone on reddit yelled at me. He had the code printed on a t-shirt, and used it in every interview on TV. There FBI had an arrest warrant out for him, he even won an award he didn’t attend in the US. The warrant was later recended or something I don’t know, because he did move to the US in the end.

Final thoughts. I think my ps3 can be used to rip dvd’s using home brew? I might not need to buy a usb drive if I don’t want to.

I’m just waiting sometimes searching for an in depth guide, or an easy to use tool, to upscale my sg-1 dvd’s directly from original non compressed quality, to a more palatable resolution before they are compressed and converted to mkv. Tools being FOSS is a soft requirement, it kind of has to run on Linux, or I need to find an older dual core Intel Mac in storage or run windows in a vm.

I don’t have any computers with a DVD drive any more, but I’m not opposed to buying one

Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it

AFAIK currently, they just add black video into the YouTube video, and play an ad separately from the main video stream. That’s what I’ve heard about people with working ad block who got this, there was just black video added to their YouTube video

There is a word for that, it is cognate. When words from different languages stem from the same word

Jokes on you, because just that you learned to read analogue clocks, makes your brain more plastic. I am sure you know what that word means, but for anyone else, plastic means adaptable. The more things you learn the easier it is to learn more things.

You sound like someone who doesn’t know how to read an analoge clock.

I bet you could figure it out if you looked it up. And you would be better for it ❤️

A huge amount

What I am reading from your comment is: Norway is not perfect, therefor the argument you were replying to is invalid or diminished. Might not be what you intended, but that’s what it reads like.

I don’t think oppression of the global south is a valid criticism of Norway. I do think the things Norway needs to improve upon are largely similar to things the US has to improve upon. Only Norway is miles ahead in many of these key aspects.

Like corruption, most Norwegians want less corruption.

Equity, most Norwegians think there is not enough equity

Healt care and welfare, most Norwegians think people don’t get good enough help with low enough friction

Of course there are more points, and some points don’t have overlap.

He did mention if you had a reason you had to stay up past 1AM

Americans never make fun of, or go to war with people of other nations

Free education for all, teachers who are paid enough to care

Yes I totally agree, we can be humane to animals and still eat them
