Yeah that's a good one. Especially the first season, but the second ain't bad either.

It's like a good C++ that is actually able to replace it. There are lots of places where a good C++ is useful. Like everything that needs low latency and low resource usage.

But it's not an easy language, so (I'm guessing) people who see everyone loving it but are unable to learn it start to suffer some sort of cognitive dissonance. If it's too difficult for me to learn, that must be its fault, not mine.

Is it so that there is usually no competition for health insurance providers in the US? I don't know that system too well.

Do you think of the fire department as “some sort of public insurance”?

Yes, it can be viewed as such! Things can be viewed from many angles. Another one that're not called insurance but kinda are, are flat prices for things whose price actually varies. Like electricity prices: they're often based on a spot price in an power exchange, so if you as a consumer choose to get a flat price, you're essentially paying a premium.

Insurance is a pretty great industry and good fit for markets if only there's healthy competition. If there's no fertile ground for competition, it's one signal that perhaps the public sector should handle that one.

Well personally this was the last straw. Fuck you, Alexei.

*Does not apply to conservatives who worship Trump

As a purely strategical choice, I would say that insulting their intelligence won't help. However right it would be.

Those don't exactly do what I want -- which is clear separation of different work accounts. I'm not sure if this is what I need though, so perhaps I should take another look at what you suggested.

You're not wrong, but I don't see how that could work, given how Orban's party typically gets >50% of the votes.

Then again, TISZA is on the rise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2026_Hungarian_parliamentary_election#/media/File:2026_Hungarian_election_polls.svg -- would be amazing if they could beat Fidesz.
