Sounds English to me, but meh.

I Roman Catholic indeed but that does not play a role, I'm on my school's music profile so therefore I have to take Latin. If I would've chosen the economic profile I could choose between either Latin or French.

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio, UrN on January 27, 2026, 07:22:42 PMJust never upgrade to Windows 11 ever, if you can.
What if you get a new device though? I mean in early August I got a Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 which obviously had Windows 11 preinstalled. I will say that it is a nice operating system and users in the European Union can uninstall preinstalled programmes and apps and stuff. Windows 11 is much more optimised for touchscreens, will say that.

Also, good to see you posting again :)

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 27, 2026, 07:20:14 AMCould you give an example of legislation that's truly vital that we've been unable to pass thanks to the Senäts?
Admittedly, since the Government usually controls the Senäts, it usually does not come up.

I suppose then that as we live in unusual times, we will see if something does.

QuoteIf half the country's provincial representatives don't want to pass something, then it probably shouldn't pass until it's in a form they can tolerate, or until an election has shown the will of the electorate.
A point the Seneschal may come to regret making.

QuoteI don't find the aesthetic argument very persuasive.  We shouldn't change something that serves an important purpose just so we can mimic other countries, unless there's good practical reasoning to do so.
I know you don't, this was an argument addressed to the open-minded.

QuoteWhy would it do this?
Because it removes the Senate from the "political" side of the legislative process, much the same way as most other upper houses -- even elected ones -- are not seen as being as politically-charged as their lower partners.

QuoteThis is an important point... subordinating the Senäts to the Cosa does seem like a prelude to getting rid of the Senäts itself.
This amendment would make it no easier to abolish the Senäts than it is right now. Compared to unicameralism, this amendment is by far the moderate position.

I play a lot so Windows is the best option. Just never upgrade to Windows 11 ever, if you can.
Also, MacOS is pretty nice, we use it at work for video and photography stuff.

A good chunk of my friends use Linux but every time they open it they say "it's pretty cool and easy, you only have to (bunch of terminology I'm not used to listening)" so I never quite got it.

I went to a bilingual highschool and they taught us latin there but didn't care for it at the time. Later I only studied latin enough to understand Monty Python's Life of Brian's jokes.

I did around 75% of the italian course in Duolingo and was able to translate (with the help of Adobe Premiere AI capabilities) a full italian documentary from a guy who came to my school and his translator said it was very good so my ego was through the roof that day.
Did a whole year studying french but not listening to enough movies and music in French made me forget a lot of it. Also often mistake it for italian.

English is taught at my city public and private schools since age 3 so it's kind of common, being so close to USA.

Because I've had it at school for four years and still don't know anything (+ it's hard).
I mean I don't study for it at all.
Are/were you Catholic, S:reu da Miéletz?
