Starting now, let's all just change it to Jen. Jens are now worse than Karens.

Reply to comment by SilasX in Toblerone chocolate to cut iconic Matterhorn logo from packaging due to ‘Swissness’ laws by elizabeth-cooper
Yeah, but Swiss Chocolate is a protected term connected to a certain region. Just like Champagne (Champangne, France), Parmesan (Parma, Italy), Bourbon (USA), Cornish Pastries (UK) or Colombian Coffee.
You can't just plant a coffee tree with seeds from Colombia in your backyard and call it Colombian coffee or produce some whiskey in China and call it Bourbon. Same with Swiss chocolate. You can't produce it in Slovakia (with Slovakian rules and regulations) and call it Swiss.
There are lots of these protected designations around the world that vouch for a certain origin, quality, and often traditional production. And if the Swiss have protected the picture of the Matterhorn as a trademark, it goes for symbols just the same.

If it’s uninsured it is not the “family vehicle” it is the “family liability”.

It's not natural phrasing and sounds awkward. That's a quite valid concern.

Its not the battery. Its the result of a bad batch of samsung supplied eMMC chips that have a random change of corrupting themselves which increases with age. SSBU was infamous for trigering it already (due to how often it wrote to the eMMC) and here it seems to be triggered by activating the console after its been dormant for a long time.
It also only affects launch 32gb Wii U models with the aftermentioned Samsung chips. Not the ones with Toshiba and Hynix made chips.

Another fun (at least mostly true) fact!
There was a grape blight that started in 2008 that killed (IIRC) ~80% of California's grapes.
So, to recover, us here in Missouri gave'em a whole bunch of ours!

Is it that strange, though? I live near the Dutch-Belgian border, and had to cross the border on a few times. And I don't even live in the mess called Baarle-Nassau.

Reply to comment by NydNugs in Wife elopes with another man, husband marries her lover's wife as revenge by wewhomustnotbenamed
It was an extremely hard experience for me. It sucks because I’ve been going to festivals for years, and love that counterculture. I loved the art and everything and the people I met (mostly) were incredibly lovely. But I was out there for a month and had to watch my partner of 5 years fawn over someone else and I had to live with someone else who wouldn’t shut up about her. Plus living in a harsh environment in a tent? It was hard.
I’d love to go back someday with friends but couldn’t say I have a desire to go anytime soon!

Reminds me of the time Brits were upset that some condiment's packaging still had Big Ben on it even after production moved to the Netherlands.
