  • I don’t recall the name, but I saw something some time ago which got infinite google drive storage by creating a bunch of empty folders and packing the data into the folder names. The storage limit is the sum of the size of all your files, so if there are no files then you don’t have any storage used, even if you have 100Gb of folder names.




  • Based on anecdotal evidence, “I refuse” may be more common than you think. I live in Switzerland, and out of all the expats I know who have been here a long time (20+ years), a large percentage (over half) of them still can’t speak German. At all. Like, they can maybe say “thank you” but that’s about the extent of their vocabulary, and many of them actually seem to be quite proud of the fact that they’ve made absolutely zero attempt to integrate into the local community or culture.

    Now, although I’m fully aware that there are a hell of a lot of differences between Switzerland and the US, it still wouldn’t be at all surprising to me if there were large groups of immigrants in the US who similarly resist learning English.
