I'm used to the dot from all programming languages. And also the comma interferes with the CSV (comma separated values) file format. For the thousands separator, my favourite is the apostrophe.
Does Wikipedia count? Then Wikipedia.
The unicode "three dots" character is making me irrationally angry. In the terminal, just use three dots!
Speak for yourself, beginner
It really depends on the country. France and Belgium, as you wrote. Germany, they expect a tip and look at you angry if you don't. Italy, they add a service charge at the end that is nowhete advertised. Turkey, they invent a random price at the end, complaints only taken if you're local. (I'm slightly exaggerating)
So badass that google puts all words in uppercase
To be fair, UTF-8 did win the character encoding wars. Kudos to the Unicode designers I guess.

Only very short summaries of what happened, linked to Wikipedia article for more reading.
Just for context, the word Kehrtwende is not used often. Instead, the verb "wenden" is used the sense of "making a U-turn"
Can you tell us which airline you are talking about? Never been booted out of anything.
How did you take screenshot before pressing return?
I'm from sh.itjust.works and can see this post in my feed
Finally, Guldhaj
Here's another fun fact: The proper singular of "mitochondria" is "mitochondrion".
We desperately need a place to post movie details, in particular those of the shitty kind
A mood? I can't quite read this
Lack of advertisements. Last time I used the official Reddit app it showed an advertisement every 5 posts or so. And of course no way to disable it. Good riddance.
None of the depicted particles is radioactive. They are just the product of radioactive decay. And btw, neutrinos are also the product of radioactive decay, they just interact so little with anything that we can't effectively measure them from radioactive substances. (We can measure them from the sun though.)

and the sister projects of Wikipedia, in particular:

https://en.wikisource.org/ – old books (also in other languages)

You said "beyond Wikipedia", but I will also mention that Wikipedia in other languages is an excellent resource to learn a language.
Literal accent aigu
The cursor is still after "screen.png" and not on the next line.
The only explanation I have is that starting xscreenshot and executing xscreenshot is faster than the UI is refreshed.

I don't know why there are so many pictures of pets in this thread, but I'm upvoting them all
In which user interface? I don't see a dot in the web app.
As boring as it is, gcc.
Berliner here. That's not better at all. It makes it much easier to forget to validate the ticket, and the people who control are usually assholes.
Me as an Emacs user, who omits -m on purpose to practice quitting vi in case I really need it
I think downvotes are important to social media. Without them, trolls have a much easier time rising to the top, as they get lots of upvotes but no downvotes to balance it out. This is why the most-followed content on sites that don't have downvotes like "Twitter" is some political bullshit. So yeah, I think downvotes are crucial.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
In French "machine" is feminine like in the other languages.
Awk has the advantage over Perl/Python/etc. that it's standardized by POSIX. Therefore you can rely on it on all operating systems. It's pretty much the only advanced scripting language available that is POSIX -- the alternative would be some heavy shell scripting or almost-unreadable sed.
Even it you don't make a sound, he'll hear you
Did you say throw, loop, and sleep?
Thanks for saying something nice about Brussels I guess, but there is literally a Quick (ie, French Mcdonalds) in the Schengen terminal. And tons of fast food elsewhere in the city.
You can't add hydroxyapatite to water because it's not water soluble
I came here to write exactly this question. Would indeed be nice to (be able to) turn this off.

Apples-to-oranges comparisons are really nothing like taliban-to-guacamole comparisons. You made an apples-to-oranges-to-taliban-to-guacamole comparison there, buddy
Using the period as a decimal separator rather than the comma
