Is there any connection between this startup and the government? I won't support a company that supports the Israeli government, financially or otherwise. But if it's just a startup that happens to be run by Israeli people, can someone explain why that should affect anything? I don't support the US government but I would still support American startups

I primarily use DDG, but the vast majority of people I talk to (including other tech savvy people) use Google. I feel like "search" is too generic (search where?), but "search the internet" is weird. And saying "Bing it" or "Duck it" or whatever just sounds overly contrarian. But if I say "Google it", people know exactly what I mean.

So yes, I will "Google where to buy some bandaids" by searching DDG for adhesive bandages.

I don't speak French natively but I happen to know their version of lol is "mdr", short for mort de rire (dying of laughter)

It's my understanding that i,j are conventionally used in mathematics which carried over into programming, but specifically it comes from Fortran in which all integer variables start with "I" through "N" based on said mathematical convention

This post reads like someone took a bunch of Adderall and went through Wikipedia for hours but didn't actually understand anything they read. Drink some water and get some sleep, bud.

I'm also struggling to understand how and why it's being compared to Twitter. How are they even related?

It's Nintendo, so it will probably be called the New Switch U or something

That's not true, you can be legally deaf and still be able to hear (a bit), just like you can be legally blind and still be able to see (a bit)

Just throwing in my two cents since I just went through this same ordeal: I use Proton, but be aware that you can only use a custom address if you pay for the premium plan which is not crazy cheap. I've been pretty happy with their premium plan so far, which includes premium features for mail, calendar, cloud drive, VPN, and password manager, but if I ever decide that I don't want to keep paying for it, I can always transfer my custom domain to a different provider without needing to update my email.

As for the domain, I went with namecheap. I also have a pretty common name, so the good domains were taken and I had to settle for firstname@lastname.in but I think it's still pretty easy to remember.

Nichijou and High Maintenance are two that come to mind. Sort of opposite ends of the spectrum, but both are slice of life shows that are much more about vibes than plot.

Also if you like Home Movies then Dr Katz is a must

I use a nice handmade wooden desk every day. No idea how old it is but my mom bought it at an antique store in the 70's, so it could be 80+ years old. And it's still in fantastic shape!

Edit: I heard back from my mom and she said it's (supposedly) from the late nineteenth century, so it's way older than I thought!

Yeah I really enjoyed SE for a while, but I gave up towards the end game once it stopped introducing new mechanics and started just making you do the same things in different combinations. I really liked the Arcospheres though, I thought they were a really clever and novel challenge. Overall I would say it's worth the time to experience all the interesting new mechanics, but I don't think I'm missing out from stopping before I beat it

I think my personal favorite is Omnium Gatherum, but it has some ups and downs. Nonagon Infinity is pretty much flawless from top to bottom (and back to top)
