Well damn, I'm not voting for him again! Lol

Fi makes it pretty clear that use outside the US is meant to be temporary (unless you're on military duty overseas). The person you replied to got a really long run and honestly has no cause for complaint.

Assassinated by Dark Brandon's laser eyes no doubt

The media has traded objectivity for eyeballs. Ever since that orange clown started running the first time it's been a nonstop attention grabber and that's all the media wants now. Good or bad attention doesn't matter, it's just attention, and Trump draws it out massively. Media doesn't want it to stop.

I'm pretty sure it was Melania who noped him out of that. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump didn't bother actually asking the kid if he wanted to do it before trying to shove him up on stage.

And Wirecutter used to be good but they will occasionally point out how highly rated something is, and cross checking against falespot et al indicates a lot of fake reviews.

Question: if you skipped signing in to Microsoft when you set up Windows, does this f'upgrade still happen?

I'd love to see it too, but I'm pretty sure that between the the logistics of locking up a former President and the very apparent dementia there's going to be some kind of clemency. As long as he is permanently barred from political activity, is sentenced to some form of house arrest, and of course has to pay whatever restitution is required, I'd be okay with that.

Seeding clouds for rain definitely affects weather, so I guess that's illegal now?

I think I got my CS degree too early, i.e. before the web was a thing. Basically, things have changed so much from the late 80s to now that everything except the basics are all out of date. I was in the school of Math as opposed to Engineering, so we were coding in Pascal and doing simulations and stuff. I think it would have been better to learn C, though obviously that's in hindsight. I did take a class in DBMS which served me well some 20 years later when I became a database manager/developer because that language did not change too much. OOP I had to learn from scratch and it was a bit mind blowing.

I've been using Android Studio and Visual Studio code and it's annoying that stuff is constantly getting updated, but also amazing that these IDEs take care of so much of that stuff for you. Even when I started coding Android about 9-10 years ago you had to manually download and install all these stupid packages. Now the IDE just announces it's doing it and you go get a cup of coffee and wait for it to finish.

Left liberal Asian American who's owned various pellet guns/rifles for plinking, and have a lovely antique shotgun that I've fired a handful of times. My dad passed and shortly before Covid, I ended up with his .22 Colt pistol from the 60s. Did the legal inheritance transfer, cleaned it up. Covid happened and although I knew there would never be a lynch mob at my doorstep, I felt a pinch safer having it around.
