It’s interesting because this also happens in other languages. In Dutch we only use couple (koppel) for people in a relationship.
If you are talking about other things we use “pair” if you have two. But over time people also started using pair wrong, so someone saying “ik heb een paar knikkers” I have a pair of marbles, can still mean he has 5 marbles.
In practice people usually just say I have two marbles when they mean exactly 2.
To add to this, jealous is for example when you are afraid your partner will dump you for someone else.
I like 'm like my asshole, bleeding edge
You are right but that does work both ways.
Whatever fucked things Hamas has done, is not a blank cheque for Israel to murder innocent people.
While at the same time
Whatever fucked things Israel has done, is not a blank cheque for Hamas to murder innocent people.
Do you have any credible sources where Hamas made that promise? Because from what have read they never wanted to agree to releasing them
Where do you live to be able to buy a house in cash after 3 years of working? Where I live the average appartment is about 400K euros and the average house is closer to 500K euros.
Maybe you can find something for 250K if you really buy something small that needs lots of work. But you still need over 80K a year excluding taxes, probably closer to 120K before taxes.
That is true, but my smart TV and smart scale both got something like 5 years of updates. Who buys a new scale every 5 years? My parents still have a scale from the 90s that works fine.
I’m fairly sure Microsoft is actively trying to screw Firefox. Outlook has always sucked in Firefox, teams is a shit show. When you use a useragent switcher somehow a lot of features seem to work magically in Firefox (which tells me MS is doing this on purpose).
For Outlook (exchange) I use Thunderbird with a paid plug-in (to make the 2FA stuff work). It’s pretty cheap and totally worth it for me at least.
Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.
Yes we need more long time energy storage. It helps to balance the energy grid and it helps for days when not enough energy is produced. Batteries aren’t really the answer, but pumping water uphill might be.
I absolutely agree they shouldn’t be able to hold stocks. But just giving a percentage they made this year doesn’t really tell you anything.
It’s like saying there is no global warming after a colder than usual winter.
Exactly, getting a 20% return on average for years and years is what makes Warren Buffet one of the best Investors. Getting a good year can happen to anyone.
I work in software development, I understand websites, webservices and the backend it all runs on at a pretty deep level.
But I never owned an Apple device. So whenever my wife (iMac user) has a problem and I try to help, I struggle with all the basic shit. I don’t know the interface, don’t know the menu structure, don’t have muscle memory for basic key bindings (like copy paste).
Same with my parents, a few years ago my dad gave my mom his old iphone, didn’t do any factory reset etc. She used logged out his apple id and logged in hers. But the apps he installed refused to update, very little information from the device about the problem. They don’t know you shouldn’t do this and just give me the phone and say apps don’t update. It took me a while to figure out what the hell was even going on.
Actually doesn’t even matter, but you will cook for 24 people instead of 4.
Exactly, if you are as big a Microsoft, you can’t tell 100% if one of your developer’s is actually being paid by a foreign government. Even if you say completely check the commits other devs make, there will still be deadlines when a code review is just “looks fine, next”.
Ugh this reminds me of a guy I worked with, he used to be a trucker but became a software tester (he was also very religious).
Anyway he used to hate on open source software and call it open sores. According to him it was all amateur crap. Ugh I still hate that guy and it has been 15 years…
I accidentally killed a mouse, sorry little guy I understand my shoe smelled like cheese…
Actual first was I think knopix or whatever it was called. My friend had a bootable floppy and we booted it on a school computer.
First real daily use was Ubuntu somewhere around 2006.
Sometimes it’s true, like a penismodel
Yeah I was thinking those Waltons have more money together then even Musk.
