It’s like that Trump watch with the T missing. “I was expecting something with the integrity of the President”. Yeah, you got that.

- Comment on Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the `Accept-Language` HTTP header? 2 weeks ago:
I’m in England and my language is set to English, yet for some reason when I was browsing AliExpress a few weeks ago it was stuck in German and I couldn’t see how to change it. Go to the homepage - German. Click on a result from a search engine - German.
I don’t know where it got that from, it wasn’t the IP either as from a computer on the same address it was fine.

I’ve not been to Bucharest airport so I don’t know how big it is or how it is laid out. However, usually you will go to check-in and baggage drop for Lufthansa - they will have an area which is labelled up, you might need to walk around a bit but the check-in areas should all be next to each other - and they will give you a boarding pass. You then need to follow the signs to the gates. That will take you through security and usually to an area with duty-free shopping. You’ll see some boards there which will tell you which gate you need (look for your destination and the flight time or number). Sometimes they don’t announce it until the last minute. You’ll then need to follow the signs to that gate, it can be a bit of a trek if it’s a big airport (allow plenty of time to get there). When you are at the gate, wait until they call you for boarding. If it’s a big plane you’ll walk down a tunnel directly onto it, otherwise you’ll be sent outside and have to climb up the steps.
Airports can be a bit daunting but they tend to be very well signposted and lots of staff around to ask if you get lost.
Enjoy your trip!
(Also don’t get used to business class - he’s been generous there, you’re very lucky)

In English I think it was commonly written as “y”. Hence the shops with “ye” on them.
- Comment on Drivers to be able to pay for parking using just ONE app under new Government plans 5 weeks ago:
The platform will work for all motorists, not just car users, and you’ll be able to use it both private AND council-run car parks – provided operators sign up to it.
Hmm.
- Comment on Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers 5 weeks ago:
Yep, I’ve never needed to ask a question on Stack Overflow as everything I’ve searched for has been answered already… or I’ve looked elsewhere for the answer as I’m not allowed to upvote, downvote or ask questions on it anyway due to lack of karma (or whatever they call it). No wonder it’s in decline if nobody new is allowed to contribute, and every new question is closed as a duplicate anyway.

- Comment on 'People have been eating chocolate digestives wrong for 100 years' 2 months ago:
For the record, that’s exactly what I used to do as a child. It’s only recently-ish that I’ve started eating them upside-down - and that’s mainly to stop getting chocolatey fingers.

Just as a point of interest, it doesn’t work properly in the Android version of Firefox. Use Chrome.

Guessing it’s the sales tax? Most countries will price things with tax included, not add it on afterwards.

Wixams station has been on the cards since that was developed, and it’s only recently got the go ahead. That argument has been raging for a long time.
Universal is rather newer.

Yes, it’s being bulldozed to make way for it.

- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 months ago:
Her advice to anyone planning to travel to the US is simply not to go. “First, because of the danger of what could happen to you. And, secondly, do you really want to give your money to this country right now?”

If you have a grill directly above the oven, put them in there whilst the oven is on. They’ll warm up nicely.
