Oh that the was fascinating, too. From visiting more than a decade ago, I understand that most of the permanent population of Whittier lives there (except for some hotel employees) and that they have an underground passage connecting it with the school building opposite (so students in winter can get there without putting on a coat).
FWIW, I enjoyed how the pictures were adding a little theme, were consistent and broke up the reading nicely without being too "noisy" (compared to e.g. technical articles full of meme pictures).
It might just not work for you because Monty Python don't do punchlines. They just dial the absurdity to 11.
There is some element of surprise, but rather at the beginning of a scene than at the end of it. Then it's a matter of "how far can you take this situation", e.g. a knight losing all limbs and still claiming "it's just a scratch"
(Sorry for the spoiler but it's been 48,5 years...).
Part of it could also be missing cultural context. Taking the same scene as example, it's a comment on the British "stiff upper lip".
You're completely right; I don't know, but challenging that or even just finding out more about the legal situation in Italy was beyond my language skills.
Subscription providers will be as shameless as allowed by law. Or worse.
I try to cancel subscriptions immidiately after signing up when i only want the service for a limited time.
For an Italian newspaper's online subscription, after contacting them for cancellation via web form, my family was informed: you have to call a number and that cancellations will only be accepted 1 day before the end of the subscription.
Let me re-state that: you have to remember, one year after signing up, to call that number within a 24 hour window (maybe less, depending on their office hours), reach somebody, and hope for their honesty in confirming the cancellation, because your have no proof that you did so.
Or you are locked in for another year.
Luckily, I had used PayPal as subscription payment method, wich has a separate web interface for cancellation.
And also remembered the call after one year, for good measure.
But what a disrespect for consumers! Quite surprised this was apparently legal in Italy (we don't live there, it was an educational subscription).
another bug report:
in chat, after somebody changes their nickname and you try to use tab completion on their name, it will use the original nickname for completion
I got a pair of Dreame W10s in the last Black Friday deals and they're a great help.
I wish my money wouldn't go towards the vendor crapware that takes extra efforts to get rid of.
But i couldn't be happier with the result, having automated the vacuuming and mopping.
