It doesn’t matter anyway as long as they are not wearing a suit

Is C++ the first enemy that managed to win against one punch man?

How about making it mandatory to insure all employees including CEOs in the same insurance company but a group of paying customers decide what is getting paid and what not 😉

You have experienced the pinnacle of Windows (we could probably also add Windows 7 to this). Do yourself a favor and never touch a Windows 10 and especially Windows 11 machine. It’s unimaginable how Microsoft managed to break everything that was working and how clever they are in terms of marketing to sell you stuff you don’t need.

They made me finally switch to Linux because my paid 365 subscription offered me to try the new outlook because Windows Mail was to be discontinued in future. I activated the test and the fun began: Only one of seven accounts was imported into outlook. Of course it was the only Microsoft account (Outlook). All other Accounts were ignored. I thought „Ok migration didn’t work, I’ll do it later manually“ I had a new email. I clicked on it. Edge opened although Firefox was my standard browser. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that I was clickbaited into opening an advertisement by one of the biggest companies on this planet.

This made me immediately stop my work and install Linux Mint. I’m not going back any time soon.

For job related reasons I have to use a lot of VMs. Unfortunately most of them are Windows 10. I created a naked installation years ago and basically use this as the base for individual development VMs. One of these annoyed me for days to make an update. All I could click was „remind me in one hour“ or update immediately. So I chose the one hour a lot of times. I finally let it update. Now my (Windows default!) task bar is transparent and also the whole windows menu. A colleague using the same VM with the latest updates (without changes to installed software) has no issues.

While it is sometimes annoying and you are limited in terms of mods on your vehicles, I must admit I’m really happy that we have the TÜV in Germany when I see stuff like this.

I’m sure this car would not survive a week here before being banned from traffic. And I’m sure the driver would also lose his license.

30 years ago we definitely had snow in winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I remember playing in snow basically every winter as a kid. And I’m living in a very mild region of Germany. Now I’m considering all season tires (just for legal purposes) to not change wheels twice a year, since there is maybe some snow for one week in total.

Spoke with a guy this week who was born in the 30s. He said winter back then was much harder. Whole lakes or even rivers were frozen solid. I can’t imagine being able to walk to the other side of a major river…

But I’d say (at least that’s my experience) it’s not a very addictive substance. Or it depends heavily on the person.

I drink 0-5 cups a day. I like the taste and I like drinking it in some social settings. I don’t need it in the morning to get my body awake. I can just stop drinking coffee any time for longer periods of time without any issues.

Once I was working in Bavaria for about 6 weeks. We drank around 1l of beer every dinner. Returning home I wanted to drink a beer after the first dinner. This made me stop drinking alcohol for two months and since I made this experience I regularly stop consuming substances that may be addictive. I never experienced this with caffeine.

This is the correct answer. Don’t overthink this. Just go, have a look and that’s it. Tell everybody involved that you don’t have to proof anything if they ask.

I know people who could afford this house easily that walk around like a regular farmer. Sales people having regular contact with wealthy people know this.

Well what a intelligent decision it was to bombard people with ads in OSs that were paid for.

I switched the day Microsoft clickbaited me into clicking on an ad while testing the new outlook with the paid 365 subscription I had. At this point I was having a constant stream small annoyances at least every week since Windows 7.

My host is running Linux mint now and 365 was replaced by only office (since this seemed to be the most similar and compatible office package I found). Trouble free since January. Battery lasting twice as much. Zero work lost because of unexpected update reboots 👍🏼

I’m so happy, I even bought a Steam deck to support Valve/Proton

Well, living in south Germany every part of GB is up north 😉

Tell this to people living up north: Was in GB once for work. There I destroyed my winter jacket. Shopping around for a new jacket I met several guys wearing shorts an t shirts. I was freezing and they walk around casually like it was summer!

Your answer doesn’t solve the issue and is a duplicate. I’ll double downvote you right now

😉

That’s the reason why I switched to a steelseries mouse with optical switches. The mechanics look like they should last forever.
