I have to agree. Switching to USB-C is a big step, but I doubt Apple will become more interoperable unless they are forced to.

Eh, banks give out loans for people to start restaurants all the time

People heard about the original, now discredited study, which came out around the time autism diagnosises were increasing. People then either didn’t hear or chose not to believe that the OG study was discredited.

Deleted my FB account just now.

I’d had the thing since 2003

But… Facebook was created in 2004?

Ok… well now you have. Everyone should be treated equally under the law. No one should be discriminated against.

Oh hell yes! We need this!!

Slightly OT, but I want to give a shout out to Witcher 3 as my favorite fantasy RPG.

Early on in the game I kind of struggled with it. I found the UI and especially combat, to be ‘clunky’.

After I mastered the combat UI enough to survive, I started to wander and explore. In this wandering I found some old cave filled with some decent (but not overpowered) gear. As far as I know, there was no quest that would have sent me to this cave. Also, if I hadn’t been pointed in the exact direction I was going, I never would have seen the cave entrance. These little details made the world feel ‘real’ and lived in.

Later in the game, when I was much more experienced, I was following a faint path, in the snow, over a mountain and I see another cave entrance. I go inside the cave and I hear voices. I sneak closer and I hear a fart, Then I hear a voice complaining about the smell of a rotten onion. (it was 2 trolls cooking something). This was totally unexpected and I literally LOL’d. Once again, this little bit made the world feel more real.

In summation, I don’t need games to be ‘bigger’. They just need to be ‘good’.

As a professional baseball(?) player once said, “It’s not bragging if you can do it.”

Nor a Catholic belief…

Exactly. Johnny wins the contest, so he gets the fiddle. If he had lost, he would have forfeited his soul.

I’m much more upset about this pardon than Hunter’s pardon. This woman stole $53 million dollars over 20 years from tax payers. As far as I know, Hunter never stole anything from taxpayers.

THE HELL YOU SAY!! If I lived in Florida, I would put Christmas Lights on all of my Palm Trees.

The same was the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise grows so quickly - magic.

“Trickle Down” has nothing to do with tariffs. /pedant

But yeah… any gain a company or industry receives from a tariff will be more than offset by the tariffs other countries impose upon us. The US produces and sells a lot of things world wide.

One pattern I have noticed in suspicious accounts is in their name. Adjective-Noun-Number is the format I see controversial posts by accounts newly made. The posts they make usually generate a lot of outrage.

Flashing to pass ‘might’ have been a thing long ago. When I was taught driver’s ed in the 1980s, we were told not to do it, so perhaps it was done in previous decades.

As others have said, It depends on what kind of programming you do. Some areas requite a lot. Others not so much. It’s logic, not math, that is needed the most.

You may want to check if your college has a different kind of programming degree. As I understand things, there are basically two kinds of programming degrees. “Computer Science” has much steeper math requirements and focuses on applications that deal with Science or engineering issues. “MIS (Management Information Systems)” degrees focus on actual programming that businesses need, not programs that are science or engineering focused.

Ahhhh!!! Thank you, good sir or madam!!

1967: Six Day War. Israel invades a variety of areas that it borders

You’ve made a pretty good summary, but I have one quibble: Egypt, Syria and Jordan were planning to attack Israel. Israel launched pre-emptive strikes.
