If I asked you to send me 1000$, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?

Not underestimating, but I've seen first hand how these are made, from my uncles and neighbours as I'm from rural Romania. The equipment may not be clean, people tend to get drunk …

How's your eyesight?

Maybe you could try a chargeback. Having to pay for a Linux license and not have such a basic feature (because everyone has touchscreens in 2024) is outrageous. I heard they don't …

Very compelling argument. I'm moving back to Windows since it doesn't have any CVEs.

Terminator really is great, infinite scroll is what really sold it to me ~9 years ago and I've been a happy user ever since.

An executable from a nightly build kept crashing and I got tasked with fixing it. I was a novice back then and spent most of the day trying to figure out what was happening, and wh…

In a few words, Cobalt is a de-bloated Chromium designed to run YouTube TV. It's smaller and faster than launching it in the platform's browser. If you have a smart TV/set-top box/…

The Russian invasion isn't what caused inflation. I don't believe in the "Putin's price hike" because inflation was already picking up speed in Q2 2021, well before the invasion.

If there are risks, how can the 15% be guaranteed?

Are there any on-chain transactions that confirm at least 1% of those claims?

> most Hollywood studios seem to be kowtowing Chinese line these days. This is because the same movies are also distributed in China, which is a huge market.

Why not? They could just charge more for other costs (luggage, seat allocation, etc) since those are not disclosed upfront.

No way taxes are 66% of the gross salary.

I got into motorcycling because a friend of mine had one and posted lots of pictures riding on mountain roads, which I thought was very cool. I have a 2011 Honda CB600F (Hornet) wh…
