No ally of the US would look at them the same way ever again. To be fair, they already don’t, but this would propel the US from “bad ally” to “second cold war enemy”.

I hate Facebook as much as the next guy, but they did create React, as well as some other contributions.

The question is if it will help them, not if it will hurt them. If it’s neutral, they still get pummeled due to the economy.

The key to becoming bilingual is consistency. Kids quickly settle on one language if they catch on that everyone in their sphere speak it. Therefore it helps a lot to have certain people in their lives exclusively speak the minority language around them. Otherwise they’ll soon stop speaking the other language.

Also, it’s important that kids overhear adults conversing in both languages. If all conversation only happens between adults and children, they are in my experience a lot less likely to want to speak that language, and they also miss out on a lot of vocabulary. Reading books helps with the latter, but not the former.

If this kid is growing up in Poland, they will inevitably learn Polish. The parents don’t need to, and also shouldn’t, be the ones teaching the child polish. That job is best left to native Polish speakers. This will ensure that the child learns both languages well. There’s no point in the child learning how to speak polish with a heavy Ukrainian accent.

They also love making their cars extremely complicated, so maybe it’s better if people need to do some research before taking apart something they can’t reassemble.

I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion. I’ve basically lived in the command line for more than two decades, and even I prefer UIs for certain tasks:

• Graphical things like web browsing
• Things I rarely do, and a UI is readily available

If I’m cropping a single image, I’m firing up Gimp, Preview, Paint or whatever tool is already installed. If I’m cropping 30 images in the same way, I rediscover how imagemagick works and script it.

It’s all about what’s faster and easier to get the job done, and whether a UI or the command line is preferable depends on how often I do the task (which determines if I remember how the CLI works) and how repetitive the task is (which determines if I want to script it).

What really grinds my gears, though, is how many people prefer a pretty UI over a functioning UI.

I’m guessing the old CPU was simply defective, and they needed to replace it to install any os.

I never heard of that, and I doubt it happened. Apple won’t touch anything with a GPL license.

I was on a date with an Asian woman years ago, and she decided to order Chicken Fried Rice. I don’t remember what I ordered, but it was something less stereotypically “white”.

They gave me the fried rice, and a fork. We just laughed, traded dishes, and asked for another pair of chopsticks.

The only way that grip makes sense to me is that the men were fighting, and the creature has just caught him by surprise after he beat the other guy.

I think it’s trying to say that you could feasibly use solar-generated power at night and when it’s not sunny now, because it has become financially viable to buffer it in a huge battery.

My life has been pretty trauma free, but even I sometimes benefit from trigger warnings. Sometimes you’re just not in the mood for certain themes.

I was once on a long flight to attend the funeral of a close friend, and was watching a movie on the flight. I didn’t know there’d be a funeral scene, and that hit way harder in the state of mind I was in at the time. I don’t regret watching the movie, but it did give me a glimpse of how triggers work, in a form probably much milder than how people with real trauma would experience it.

In general I often find that accommodations for people with special needs often also benefit the general population. Accessible web design is often more pleasant to use in my experience, and probably easier for search engines also.

Chrome OS is down, they probably got reinstalled with regular Linux. The rest represents about 1% of the total market share, which could probably be Steam Decks.

I’m pretty sure Obama was not happy about getting that prize. He won it before he was even sworn in due to having such a unifying campaign or some BS, and both he and everyone else knew he hadn’t done anything to deserve it yet.

I’m personally convinced that Thorbjørn Jagland, head of the committee at the time, was just smitten by Obama’s campaign and got him the prize so he’d be able to meet him.

Still less BS than FIFA giving Trump a fake one, though.

You realize that the spam is not coming from the actual line owning the number, right? They can spoof the number, so they could make it look like it came from any number. If they put some effort into researching you, they could make the spam look like it came from your mom.

Is empath some sort of dogwhistle? The only time I’ve seen the phrase “I’m an empath” was in between conservative misinformation on Facebook.

It was inflicted on both groups by the school district.

Whether the 24 year olds are teens or milfs depends on the size of their tits.

Not sure how they capture the carbon dioxide, but it’s delivered to the greenhouse itself from a giant tank outside the building. I realize that’s probably not the part of the process you were interested in, but it’s all I’ve got.
