How many people have issue with smth is not definition of a stretch, is it?

that’s quite a stretch

she didn’t say “say racist when you want to say brave”. how does someone find this funny?

would you like to hear the udp joke? you might not get it, but I don’t really care that much

That’s looking at the bright side :D

Maybe, but I am in my 40s and my back aches, I am not in a shape for revolution :D

In a confession Aug. 21, however, Reiser said he used “the most unsophisticated chokehold that any judo instructor would completely despise you for ever using,” according to a 30-page transcript obtained by The Chronicle

Troubador is not a random string

except it is not troubador. it is troubador, ampersand, digit.

if you know there are exactly two additional characters and you know they are at the end of the string, the first number is really slightly bigger (like 11 times)

Ok, that’s fair point, but it still isn’t other people’s job to serve you links just how you like them.

What if desktop users delete it themselves, if they don’t like it?

Imagine a restaurant that doesn’t ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you “This is the best food possible” and just makes what they want.

that is exactly how restaurants work. have you ever been to one? you are offered a choice of meals they designed and if you don’t like it, well, there is about billion other restaurants you may try, they are not going to start crafting custom meal for you.

If your keyboard was actually working, you pressed a key. If it was not working, you went to get new keyboard. What is “not thought through” about that?

I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.

So what you’re saying is (…)

no, that is not what i am saying.

That doesn’t sound quite right to me

it would help if you stopped putting fabricated nonsense into other people’s mouths. then you wouldn’t have to wonder whether that nonsense “sounds quite right.”
