I strongly disagree with aspects of your perspective but I appreciate your honest engagement

That’s not the reason lmao, also it was a return flight in the opposite direction so the US would be the “destination”

Your critique makes no sense

C# Devkit will do in a pinch but it’s still second class in VS Code compared to languages like TypeScript.

Since MS killed off MonoDevelop and Visual Studio is Windows only, it’ll be good to finally have a free proper C# IDE again on Linux.

Your link 404s for me

That’s not what I was saying, I meant instead of the French they did say

I think the comment is about the last panel being a shocked pikachu type face.

The companies are not shocked that you no longer visit their page, that’s their intention. “Generate revenue for us or leave”

P.S. genuine lol at hasta not luego, shouldn’t it also be “aurevoir pas” or “aurevoir never” since that also essentially means see you again.

I think it’s a combination of:

The style of the curb and pavement.

The warning signs on the fence.

The telegraph pole.

It’s an English speaking place

The sky is grey

D+ dropped support for my tablet since the Android version is too old, but I just ran Firefox in desktop mode and that worked. I don’t know whether it made a difference that it’s a tablet vs phone though

EU Withdrawal Act effectively retained all applicable EU law as UK law so anything would have to be specifically rescinded after that.

I don’t think anything’s changed wrt gdpr

I was reading it and genuinely thought it meant South Asian Indian at first

I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up. Especially working for an American employer for some reason, we went all out with a work do in the UK, union flags galore.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

I like to think that he knows

Companies really don’t put much effort into making these readable or accessible.

Many websites I’ve used it’s even a broken link, there’s nothing to read but I’m expected to agree anyway.

The terms are usually extremely long and repetitive, they’re not designed to be actually read by people.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

The joke still works anyway because the life at the bottom of the ocean would be ignorant of that

TIL you can kill processes straight from top

100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

100% this, I’ve been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.

Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn’t affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that’s the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.

Hasn’t been called “.NET Core” since 3.1

Although it’s essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it’s just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/…

My mum is like this but I think this kind of thing depends on where you’re at in your financial journey and also the type of person you are.

I find that cash burns a hole in my pocket and I check my apps regularly to track spending so any cash effectively just “disappears”, I won’t even remember what I spent it on.

I completely prefer digital spending because for me it’s easier not to lose track and if I seem short, I can trace exactly where it went.

If you’re someone who is not in financial trouble and pays off credit cards regularly then I advise trying to find one with decent rewards and use it for as much of your spending as possible.

This not only gets you air miles / cash back but also helps to build a strong credit record if you’re looking to buy a house, car, … in the future.
