I'm sure you're referring to these Opalithplättchen, aren't you?

Impressive that you could remember the name. I'm German and had to look it up since I never heard about Opalith before.

I also don't own a Steam deck and have a good PC with a curved screen. And for couch co-op even a 4k projector with a 100 inch screen.

But I definitely understand that there are uses for being able to take all your games with you and play them anywhere. I already sit at my desk for hours at work.

Of course, it depends a lot on the genre. Competitive FPS or RTS I would rather not play on the small screen, but games like Dave The Diver, Dredge or Balatro sound perfect to me.

Exactly! Bicycle pedals have a left-hand thread on the left-hand side and "normal" threads on the right-hand side.

In the plumbing sector, left-hand threads are used whenever two pipe ends need to be connected that cannot be rotated. The connector is then equipped with a left-hand and right-hand thread and can therefore easily be screwed between them.

So it's not just typical for Nordic countries, but depends on the application.

VPNs aren't working unfortunately, at least if you're not logged in. They completely block the site when you're trying to access reddit via VPN. This is a VPN related forum where this is discussed.

20 years ago, I wanted to jump onto a concrete table tennis table in the school playground from a standing position with both feet at the same time. I didn't make it and hit my shin up to the bone.

After it was stitched up, it became badly infected weeks later and I had to have another operation while on vacation.

Now I have a 1 inch scar directly on the shin bone which hurts a lot every time I hit it.
