  • Then there’s Italian. We have less letters than other European languages (we don’t have k,j,w,x,y) and we still manage to avoid shit like “thoroughly” or spamming letters. We have accents, but use them way less than in Spanish and no special accents or characters like ñ ç č ß å ø ö etc

    Once you understand the rules is probably one of the easier languages to spell and pronounce




  • Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn’t be passable of a copyright claim.

    Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn’t be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

    The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.

    That’s not at all how piracy works. They don’t lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don’t, then nothing changed. It’s not like every company is entitled to my money.

    Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.





  • So the stupidest most gullible people you’ve worked with seem to live on that feed having lots of ad impressions, which are likely to be quite effective due to how gullible they are and the fact that they are all adults with money, and you are asking why MS doesn’t remove the feed?

    I wonder too…






  • even though every restaurant has an espresso machine it doesn’t mean they clean it, and doesn’t mean their staff knows how to use it properly. Water temps too high, too much coffee grounds, over compressed, lowest quality beans. Fucking everywhere. It’s awful.

    And this is why, as an Italian, I can’t drink espresso anywhere in the world. 9/10 is just awful


  • Coffee made with a Moka pot

    What you call mocha should actually be called Mocaccino, although it’s more similar to what we call Marocchino in Italy. They’re both derived from the “Bicerin”, a drink typical of Turin.

    Marocchino is like a Cappuccino with powdered cocoa (mix the espresso and cocoa before pouring the milk).

    Mocaccino is instead made up of three layers, a layer of melted chocolate, then a layer of espresso, then a layer of frothy milk.

    Afaik they’re not massively popular in Italy, but here in the north I see Marocchino more often than Mocaccino.

    PS: if you want to pronounce them correctly, “chi” and “che” are pronounced “ki” and “ke”, while “ci” and “ce” are pronounced “chi” and “che”.

    Those terms are an American invention. As for Italy

    • Latte = plain old milk. Can be cold or hot, it’s milk
    • Caffelatte = probably the origin of the American “latte”, literally means coffee and milk, usually made and home with cold or hot milk and moka coffee
    • Latte macchiato = big cup of milk, frothy on top, with a shot of espresso in it
    • Caffè macchiato = espresso with a shot of milk, can be frothy
