    As one of the few BMW drivers that keeps his blinkerfluid topped up I upvoted this. So annoying if people don’t use a blinker, especially when they leave roundabouts and keep the traffic that wants to enter waiting for nothing. It takes zero effort to use a blinker, people who refuse to use them are just lazy selfish pieces of shit.


  • Very relatable, although definitely not exclusive to girls. 😉

    Unfortunately highschool managed to very quickly stamp out my interest in reading by requiring us to read vast amounts of Boomer material and having to come up with a book report for every piece of that slop we had to forcefully consume. I’ve never recovered from that. 😞




  • Founded by Nazis, but abandoned during the war and revived by British army officer Ivan Hirst whom both saw the potential for turning it into a workshop and building new vehicles for the British occupation forces.

    After the war it was used by REME (Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) to repair British army vehicles, and it was used to build new vehicles. It was handed over to West Germany in september 1949.

    The company as we know it today therefore effectively has more British roots than Nazi ones.







  • It moves the value of register (a CPU memory cell) rbx to register rax. It’s not that important though.

    Basically the comic shows that the CPU is happily chugging along, executing instructions when suddenly the keyboard sends an interrupt telling the CPU it must stop all work and listen to whatever it has to say.

    That was how keyboards worked before USB (back when they used PS/2 or DIN connectors). With USB it’s the other way around: the device gets polled X times per second to check if it has any data to send.
