Then everyone starts selling their house back to reasonable money like 200k or 300k?

You misspelled “then giant companies buy up all the housing on the cheap and everyone continues to be miserable”

Nature

Ever visit a zoo and notice any smells, e.g. in the ape house? That’s a part of nature, of course.

It’s just we’re trying to avoid that.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Someone break this word down for me

Hilfe leistungs lösch gruppen fahrzeug

(technically i’d need to add capitalization and dashes when separating into full nouns)

help giving exterminating groups’ ~~vehicle~~ drive thing (as others in this thread have noted)

Das Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug der Feuerwehr […]

The aid-providing fire-fighting vehicle of the fire department

Es transportiert Feuerwehrleute, Leitern, Werkzeuge, Schläu[che…]

It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses

Not gonna lie, it’s a bit over the top. Feuerwehrfahrzeug (fire dept’s truck) would’ve sufficed IMO. Nobody not working as a firefighter (and arguably not even all of those who do) knows let alone uses that long-form word.

Use TextEdit for .txt and .rtf, and get Sublime Text, VS Codium, or any of the other bazillion IDEs out there until you find one you can tolerate. Helix does that for me. (:

Most “browsers” being marketed out there are based off of Google’s Chromium project. They are effectively re-skins of it (simplifying a little). Examples include Brave, Vivaldi, Opera I believe.

Firefox is completely separate and independent from this ecosystem (which is also why there’s a separate extension store for Firefox).

The third and last major (>a couple % market share) engine is WebKit, which is the basis of Apple’s Safari.

There’s tons of cool stuff out there, but it’s either niche (platform/use case), unstable to use, and/or both. Examples: Servo, Ladybird, Orion

To sum it up, if you’re a normal, average user:

  • If you have exclusively Apple devices, probably try Safari (for the synchronization & battery efficiency)
  • If not, Firefox!
  • If you need it because of some really messed up development/compatibility issues, the last resort is ungoogled/de-googled Chromium

While on the topic, here’s some cool browser extensions:

Technically, she got more votes (edit due to being unclear: than Trump, in 2016). And not by a little, nearly 3 million people more voted for her over orange anti-republic anti-democracy man. But the voting system is unrepresentative, so it didn’t matter.
