Now please explain to me how C works.

That's not what they're asking. It's not about how C works, it's about how specific APIs written in C work, which is hard to figure out on your own for anyone who is not familiar with that specific code. You'll have to explain that to any developer coming new into the project expected to work with those APIs, no matter their experience with C.

Sand won’t do anything because the fire is self-oxidizing.

From my understanding the recommendation to have a bucket of sand around when handling lithium batteries is not to put the fire out with it, but to have something to throw the battery into that's not gonna catch fire as well, and then to carry the whole bucket somewhere where the battery can just burn out on its own. Is that wrong?

Revenge bedtime procrastination is the term you're looking for. Although I'm not sure that's actually what the OP is describing

Between 40-60% of people have some form of permanent brain damage and 70-80% have long covid problems

Wait what? I'm with you on masking etc., but those numbers seem a bit high, where did you get those from?

One plugs into line voltage

Well, but that's not what's coming out of the end that you plug into the razor. The wall plug for it contains a transformer that steps it down to 15V. Would still be a bad idea, but it's not line voltage.

Are you talking about Valve, or generally? Because as I said, I don't think there is such a thing as a generic manager role at Valve, much less one that gets paid so much more than other roles. How much of the profit goes to Gabe directly vs the employees or reinvested into the company I don't know, but if you want to complain about compensation gaps, I'm very sure that Valve is absolutely not the company to start with.

Does Valve officially have managers now? Last I checked, they had this extremely flat structure of everyone being basically equal and people self-determining what they're working on and how

Not that I disagree with you generally, but in the recent case, manual door release wouldn't have helped, as it's basically impossible to push open a car door against the water pressure outside a submerged car.

So, basically cloud saves with extra steps, except you only get a single save and can't replay the game? Sounds even worse than current solutions, honestly

"Caret" is also correct, and more specific, since "Cursor" can also mean the mouse cursor.

Because the balls did often need cleaning, whereas I've never heard of the moose wheel needing it

The thing is, movement is relative. Everything on earth is constantly in motion if you're observing from any other celestial body, so motion itself can't be what breaks portals. What it might be, though, is acceleration. Those panels in the video seem to be moving at a constant speed, so aren't experiencing any substantial acceleration, making a portal on them possible
