That's probably the origin for the Hungarian. Ton of words borrowed from our EU daddy.

Why do two languages get mistaken for one another?

When I hear drunk Finnish as a Hungarian, my brain goes into overdrive to try to decode it. I swear that if I were drunk enough, I could understand it. I do not understand one squeek of sober Finnish though.

I wasn't patient this time around, so it's Slay the Spire 2, early access.
It runs really well on my two core third gen ryzen laptop, and I will gladly recommend it to anyone who likes deckbuilders.

Slow down there, cowboy.
VAT was so high because everyone and their mother would be cheating their income taxes. He bumped it 2%, I believe, for whatever the heck reason (insatiability?), so we're pretty much world leaders in that regard.
Where are you from? In Hungary people are just realizing they have a semblance of power with their vote. We were conditioned during the communist era to keep our heads ducked and make due for ourselves. This is changing, we'll see on the 12th how quickly.
I hope I was able to answer some of your questions.

Great article, thanks for sharing!
I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host's website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!
Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.

So, why has he left some skin exposed?
Pretty sure it's so that he doesn't overheat. And good luck on the 'þ' crusade.

Subnautica
I already played it through once, but with a Phenom quadcore (and a gtx 970, but heavily bottlenecked). The difference is refreshing: from around 720p 20ish fps I went to 1080p 60.
A great crafting game, but I won't waste words on a 10 year old fan-favorite, unless prompted (and then I can gush!).

I don't feel like it's new users not knowing etiquette that's the problem. I think it's corporate greed and enshittification.
The internet has been dumbed down to a handful of high-traffic sites, and those are trying to make a buck of us. You ran a server/website for your own benefit, not to make a dollar. It's corpo greed, I tell ya..

Movies for Hard Sci-fi Movie Night 002. Gattaca (1997) and The Abyss (1989).
Reply in thread
It really is a slow burn, especially compared to modern movie pacing.
I watched it when it came out and found it gorgeous. Maybe a bit heavy on the message, but the world-building doesn't try to punch above its weight. It really felt like a not-so-far future.

Kétharmados többséggel nyerte a TISZA a 2026-os parlamenti választásokat
Szerintem addig nem lesz nagy változás, amíg valami ellen szavazunk. Ezért is olyan gyászos, h eltűnt a Momentum, eltünőben van az MKKP.
A Fidesz is azért tudott ekkorát szólni, mert a legnagyobb ígéretük az old guard eltávolítása volt, és nyugatot igértek. Magyar mögött nincs akkora lendület, mint a felcsúti szabadságharcos mögött volt, de megint csak odaadtuk az ország kulcsait egy olyan embernek, aki azt mondja, amit hallani akarunk.
Tök jó volt a magas részvétel, tényleg kezd a lakosság polgárosodni, ami fontos a demokráciának. Egyszer kell elhangoznia, h 'Miért, a Fidesz jobb volt?', hogy Budapest fellángoljon, szóval lehet reménykedni, h pár dolgot el tud intézni ez a lúdtalpas a népnek.
