If you’re a billionaire intent on becoming even wealthier, that usually implies that you really enjoy being a successful businessman. I don’t see why business success for its own sake would be inherently less satisfying than other sorts of accomplishment.
Not as far as I know. C# is similar to Java in many ways but it isn’t a type of Java.
My problem with Windows is that when I want to eject a USB drive, Windows refuses to do so, refuses to tell me what program is apparently still using the drive, and certainly refuses to kill that program. I am removing the drive. I can’t just not remove it!
Galadriel and Celeborn were married in the First Age and the story takes place at the end of the Third, so they were married for at least six and a half thousand years. During that time, they had one child. How often do you think they had sex?
It’s cool that humans have no problems interpreting cartoon depictions of faces which are so grotesquely exaggerated.
I oppose letting anyone define hate speech as a matter of principle, because even if I agree with the definition completely now, I may not continue to agree with the definition in the future. Look at what has been happening in the USA since the October 7 attack: a lot of people I had considered my political allies turned out to have beliefs I consider to be hateful, and meanwhile these people consider my own beliefs hateful. The solution is not to empower a single central authority to decide which sort of hate is allowed. It is (as it has always been) to maintain the principle of free speech.
I’m a little surprised to hear people so willing to let the government of Ireland determine who they are allowed to hate and for what reasons.
C#, the better Java. A really underappreciated language…
Most financially secure people still work full time. I suppose that in theory, they’re able to quit their jobs without suffering immediate, catastrophic consequences but if they actually did that sort of thing, they wouldn’t be financially secure for long.
(In my experience, many financially secure people actually work much more than full time. I think they would be better off if they didn’t because at some point time becomes more valuable than money, but they have the sort of personality that compels them to. This is often related to starting out without financial security.)
The very rich can do crazy stuff without consequences but they’re such a small part of the population that I don’t think comparing oneself to them is useful.
Libre Office (at least Calc which is the one I use most) is usable but it has bizarre random slowdowns and crashes relatively frequently, whereas I have never once had issues like that with Microsoft Office. I still use Libre Office (on both Windows and Linux) because it’s free but I acknowledge that it has disadvantages.
You don’t mind their UI conventions? I suppose I could probably get used to them, but while I’m comfortable with Windows and Linux desktop environments, I find the Mac one to be quite unpleasant to use for some reason.
You use Arch? Bah, I am Arch.
Looks like someone has been snacking too greedily…
No, the tongs are for when the vacuum wants to take you alive.
It’s a good thing none of them were armed…
He’ll also have to come and help, unless he just wants to watch you go at it alone.
Mine says “cleaning”, “charging”, etc.
I think this neglects a major reason why most people buy a bottle of wine. It’s reinventing boxed wine and it isn’t a coincidence that only the cheapest wine usually comes in boxes.

They used to although they generally used animal dung.
A caveman would just use his finger and then lick the salsa off of it.
