I agree, it is brain dead like so many idiotic things MS is doing.

I had to fix a laptop for a guy I know today. There are "three fingere gestures" active on the trackpad - no one knows what they do.

I switch off all that bullshit on my laptops (does not matter if Mac or Windows) I am seriously not in the mood to memorize "oh what did I do, with my fingers?" and how to revert it ...

And I seriously can not remember why in one app swiping left is like and in the other it is swiping right.

When I want to delete an email by "swiping" it gets into "archived" what the fark is that?

Dude, obviously UK will have border controls.

THEY WOULD BE AT THE BORDER OF THE EU ... how dumb are you?

It is a damn island. Of course they will have border controls.

And no one cares if they keep the pound, or what ever.

POUND and EURO are damn currencies, and have nothing to do with the EU.

Neither has Schengen anything to do with the EU.

This are contracts that only overlap a (some) certain area(s) of Europe.

You are free to choose, if the others agree, if you join the EU zone, or Schengen, or not.

And as a border country, I assume the Margrave of "the British Islands", will do his duty and do border controls to all people that enter the future EU where "the British Islands" might be a part again: just as he is doing right now!

Who is so farking stupid to assume the EU has no border controls? Farking idiots on /. do.

A pint in a pub is "metric".

Nearly all Irish / British pubs in Germany sell pints. Either fake pints with 500ml content, but they write "pint" as headline over the drinks, or: real pints. 620ml.

You can name the stuff how ever you want, the point is that on the menu is clear: how many grams or ml that is.

What UK is doing inside of their country regarding measuring: no one cares. Relevant is if there is for example a web site that sells to France/Germany etc. and the measures "of what ever" make no sense ... then it is a problem.

Half of the nice people who voted for BREXIT will be dead then.
Half of the nice people who would vote next year to R-EU-JOIN, will be 40 when they could join again.

Your idea makes no sense at all ... unless you aim to keep them out forever.

Then: EU and EURO are two different things, and rightful so.

Personally I've been keeping track of Iran and Pahlavi for decades. Your cluelessness is your problem and your problem alone.

Actually, it is not "my problem" as I do not care.
Secondly, I was obviously right: you tracked him for decades. So, not surprising that you know things about him, which I don't know.

Here: he is not really a news issue. Which your links clearly show, only one is from Europe, none from France, none from Germany.

If you saw such news with gunfire and shouts, then it is so.
I did not see such news. Sorry, for not being a news addict about stuff I can not change or intervene.

I actually do not watch TV, and most news I get: I read. So, perhaps I simply did not stumble over him, or forgot his name again.

"Pahlavi nostalgia is further reflected in the survey's findings that 79.9 percent of Iranians overwhelmingly favor Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi over the current political leaders."
Good to know. I did not guess that, as the few Iranians I spoke about that: disagree. They literally told me: "no one wants him to come back", so they were wrong. Good to know :D

Comment Re:Middle eastern muslims are semites too (Score 1) 28

You Americans with that silly geographic definition of "middle east", lol.
Anyway. You are right, plenty of "folks" down there are Semitic.

However someone coined the term "anti Semite" some time ago.

There are basically two kinds of Muslim immigrants in Germany: Turkish people who mostly came shortly after WWII, which are now in 3rd or 4th Generation. And war refugees, mostly from Syria, some from Africa, or Bosnia or other ex Yugoslavia regions. Of course we have "normal immigrants" from north Africa (which are in general not Semites, btw).

The "worst Muslims" are German convertites, or German born "insert ethnic group" who converted to Islam.

We do not really have groups that are particular "anti Jews" ... if one would be exposed as that, he would be more or less instantly deported.

Regarding Semites, even Saudi Arabia and surrounding areas are mostly inhabited by Semites.

There is an "alt + windows key + SOMETHING" key which does that.
Happened to my GF once, was kind of impossible to google for the problem on her computer, lol.

Funny is, one would assume, that the track pad would kind of change orientation, too ... but it does not. So fooling around on her computer was an acrobatic trick, until I found the key sequence.

Most games that run on Macs do not run on iPads.

Same for any main stream IDE.

Heck, historically an iPad did not even have an accessible file system. No idea how it is now.

either as an iPad (installing iPadOS) or a Mac (macOS)?
That is actually what I always wanted. A tablet computer running macOS. But, considering how many interesting Apps popped up on iOS ... I want those, too, lol!

The first cruise missiles where terrain following, other means where only used to get a rough idea to where to fly.

Same for the Tornado fighter jet flying super low. Of course it had a bonus, as it was mostly used on friendly territory, and lots of terrain was in its "database."

Well, I certainly did not see such things :P
It just means what it means: I did not see such a thing.

Oh right I forgot they already have an illegitimate leader who terrorizes and massacres their own people while exporting revolution (e.g. terrorism) globally.
No idea what that is supposed to mean.

No such thing has in fact occurred. He has made consistent statements for decades indicating his goal is a democratic transition and most Iranians trust him.
He declared himself, or was it his father, I forgot to: Reza Shah II - a few days before or after the death of his father.

The Shah aera in Iran also was a democracy - similar to Thailand right now. So, no idea what you want to emphasize. The current "regime" considers itself a democracy, too.

Head of state is a King, Shah ... with limited authority, and the parliament makes the laws and is made from elected people. Perhaps you want to say: he aims to become "President" and abolishes his noble title ... and accepts if he is not voted into position.

My point was, and is: he is a pretty unknown person. Before the recent riots, not many in the west have heard about him.

So you and one other of my parent posters here seem to be exceptions. When I am next time in Paris, I ask some of my Iran exile friends: "who is Reza" :D
