That actually makes sense to me — ASL retains the “thumb = 1” system present in most of Europe.
The programmer is using what I’d call an “Anglo” two. It’s what I grew up with in North America.(see the Inglourious Basterds three finger scene for reference)
Technically, the thumb should be out as well. But yeah, that would totally be read as 3. 🥖🫡
I’m an expat living in Denmark and it confused me how this was not only supported but led by the Danish presidency! From a close outsider perspective, it didn’t feel like it matched what I know of Danes, but came from politicians.
My Danish is not very good yet so I’m not very plugged into grassroots feelings. It felt weird that this legislation would be led by a country with an overall high digital literacy and respect for private life. I assumed the rather high trust in public institutions was a significant factor, but it’s not like the people I know are blindly trusting.
Yeah, I got that the hay taste is a negative. I feel like thats more likely to come from bad herbal teas more than black, so it was a guess that you’re into herbals.
Sorry I don’t really have any actually useful advice…
My German friends have also remarked on disappointing French teas, and that almost every infusion is based around verbena and chamomile. Even if it’s sold as something else on the front, that represents typically less than 30% of the actual ingredients and is more verbena plus something.
I’m guessing based on the “hay” description that you’re more into herbal teas. I’m mostly a fan of black teas and Kusmi and Damman are my go-to French brands. My partner is more into herbals and in over a decade never found a really good option.
My only advice is to stock up when in a place that has the teas you appreciate. I personally load up on fruit teas during trips to Germany or Austria.
I’ve had a similar experience. They accepted my email on a personal domain with a recent TLD but after about 15 minutes of connecting and browsing, I was banned. I suppose it’s because I had the audacity to use a VPN l, but their response was basically no more helpful— “you violated the T&Cs.”
I haven’t been on Vinted since.
We’ve used Bambo, made in Denmark for my child. They’re distributed in a number of countries, including Germany and France. Online pharmacy/parapharmacy stores like Atida often carry them at a good price.
Frongt’s answer is great. Another couple of thoughts:
For the domain name, do you want firstlast.com specifically, or could something close work (maybe you already have it and there’s no more choice to be made)? I opted for a derivative of my name in order to keep it professional and for it to not become outdated. If you’re Taylor Robin Smith, would something like tarsm.com work? Without already knowing your name, it appears random. Any service that could reasonably make the connection probably already has your name anyway.
One side note: when choosing your TLD, I suggest one of the “classic” ones – .com, .net, or a country. I’ve run across some forms where the email validator rejects the newer ones like .works. Not a lot, but even one is inconvenient.
For the service naming, I do like you suggested for the name, but I just use a catchall. There’s no address actually created, my mail host just sends anything to my main mailbox – me@mydomain.com receives lemmy@mydomain.com, business@mydomain.com, or farts@mydomain.com. To my knowledge, the only way to tell I actually use a given address is to check my inbox.
