Not at all. It was a contrarian response. Walking in an urban environment is generally not very pleasant. It is often repetitive (in the bad way), noisy and there is little to look…

No. Urban environments suck to walk around. What you wrote is utter drivel. If one needs to justify it by quoting authors, that suggests it isn't self evident and they are just try…

Much like the sibling comment I started walking around the local park before spending more time hiking. I live semi rurally though and wouldn't want to walk in an urban environment…

Management Studio is a monster. I was using for years and every so often someone would show me a feature I was totally unaware of that blew my mind. Visual Studio also had "Databas…

If they charged far more than the market average in a given area then people wouldn't rent from them. Even if they bought up the entire area, people would presumably move to cheape…

I agree that most people would use the term invasion to describe it. But this story is related to how a betting market decided to pay out. The US forces left immediately after the …

Still doesn't make it an invasion. If they drone striked and thus killed Majuro it would not be an invasion. It would be an assassination. Invasion in this context has a specific m…

No that is not the definition of a military invasion. > An invasion is a military action consisting of a large armed force of one geopolitical entity entering the territory of anot…

That doesn't make it an invasion. It was a capture/extraction operation. Was it a large scale one, sure. But it was not an invasion.

Agreed. However what happened Jan 3rd wasn't an invasion.

When you are referring to a military action, invasion has a particular meaning. The definition on Wikipedia seems reasonable: > An invasion is a military action consisting of a lar…

A hit in the stock price doesn't prove or disprove their claims. What would disprove their claims is the number of properties Blackrock is buying and if it is affecting pricing at …

I think a lot of people mean "Wedding DJ" or "Radio DJ". However there is a whole small subculture around this. A friend would go hunting for records to sample in Charity shops for…

The startups/businesses that provided value survived the bubble bursting.

Most distros have a way of installing proprietary software via enabling additional repos after install.

That seems pretty reasonable proposition IMO. As other people have mentioned you can resell open source software. I have a big box Linux distro on my shelf here.

Or you could get one with a better service history, the paint job and interior is in better condition, and it has the optional extras and a recent cam belt change for $12,000. It d…

Sorry that isn't true. Lots of smaller communities online, especially around small streamers make small meme style videos. Usually these are mocking someone doing something dumb on…

His rationale ignores all the legitimate and harmless use cases for AI. I've seen people make with the help of AI comedy/meme/comedy music videos and put them up on YouTube. Making…
