I'm from Canada and had to explain to border officers what my accommodations and means of personal support would be for a two week stay in the US. I was almost denied entry because I wasn't carrying sufficient cash on hand.

That was almost twenty years ago.

Tell that to the person who implemented Tetris in Postgresql.

Wait, so for this to work access to the Nitro features it enables must be managed client-side and the client is fully trusted with no validation? That seems... unwise on the part of Discord.

For anyone concerned, this was fixed in 7-zip version 24.07, which was released back in June.

I hate drive-thrus even as a driver. The intercom is always garbage, the menu is always presented in some insane arrangement that's makes it basically impossible to peruse, paying at the window is awkward, receiving your food through the window is awkward, checking to make sure your order is correct is awkward, and to top it all off it usually takes longer than just parking and walking inside.

It is baffling to me that anyone ever willingly uses a drive-thru.

I'm all for more people switching to linux, but a lot of your windows issues sound less like windows issues and more like your specific installation is messed up somehow issues.

One thing I will mention though is that Windows does have native per-application volume control, you don't need to install EarTrumpet. You can right-click the system tray volume icon and open the mixer, or just search for "volume mixer" in the start menu.

it'll just let you do that

Pretty much sums up JavaScript's entire philosophy.

But that's just more business!

I had issues with mine as well. Cotton under the nail didn't help much. A doctor removed the nail and it grew back ingrown again. Then a second time. Finally on the third removal they killed the nail bed and I just don't have a toenail on my right big toe.

I refuse to believe there is a ROG board that "doesn't support .NET", even if that phrase weren't already borderline nonsensical.

The rank-and-file "I'm not a computer person" users are more or less unchanged and you won't see much difference there.

What's happening is that you have this huge swathe of people who are technically "familiar with computers" but still have no idea how they work because the details are obfuscated or hidden in most modern systems.

You won't see the difference in support. You're most likely to see the difference in teaching, especially in areas that attract people who have an interest in technology.

Definitely a timesaver. Much faster to get incorrect email validation that way then to try building it yourself.
