This is the real answer, and for context: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_labour_movement
In the hall of the mountain king is part of the work Peer Gynt. The whole thing is about 2 hours, but there’s a shorter version consisting of two suites which is about 30 minutes long. Here’s a version with some extra incidental music included at the end - here’s a performance of just the first suite.
Something like this could get interesting


I’d love it but be annoyed that you didn’t go for the whole thing, start to finish.
Let me guess, looking at a large screen on a desk?


I’m the opposite, Animals and Piper at the Gates of Dawn are the only Pink Floyd albums I like.
Fine by me, it’s obvious you no longer have an argument – or anything otherwise interesting – to contribute to this discussion anyway, so what would be the point?
Perhaps, probably not - not my point though. My native language has a lot of English loan words with local pronunciation, which is the correct pronunciation of those words in my language according to any dictionary, however to indignantly correct someone using the original english pronunciation for saying it “wrong” would just be bizarre.
In English, yes. My point is that cache/r/t is the root of both words, the pronunciation changed in english which often happens with loan words, and it certainly is OK to use the local pronunciation – but correcting someone who uses the correct pronunciation of that word, with self-righteous indignation even, is very silly behavior.
“But we’ve been pronouncing it wrong for 300 years!”
I’m sorry, you don’t get to maul the pronunciation of loan words and then correct people when they use the correct pronunciation. The word comes from the french cache/casher which is pronounced exactly cash-eh. Where do you think the -e comes from?
This seems like a good opportunity to tell the story of “Balloon man”
Sure, nothing is more masculine than having a preference for men.
This gem also springs to mind


It was more in response to your comments. I don’t think anyone has a problem with useful FOSS alternatives per se.


So, lick the boot instead of resisting you say?


Edit: actually, read zerakith’s comment instead.
How about punk rock is the only thing that is punk rock, starting now?
I’ve personally seen a strong correlation between ingesting DMHO and autism. This is why I only give my children mashed potato mix now.
