Right, the rendering engine is the same, that's still not the browser. Again, just because it's a derivative browser doesn't make it the same browser.

Since your friend is still a student, they should try to see if they can get in with your school's IT department.

I started my it career working for my school's IT department first answering phones, then doing desk side work. That job is actually what got me my first real job in the industry. Since then I've jobbed hob multiple times and have effectively quadrupled my original salary (6 figures), all in under a decade.

They're the same browser though.

They actually aren't the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.

It's a similar and derivative browser, but they aren't the same.

There are more similarities than differences.

You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren't the same person.

And also many people still believe that if you criticize their "meme browser" made by the cool "don't be evil" company, you're a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

Eh, I think 'because math' is a better description than idk, since we do kinda know why (math models), we just don't necessarily know why (the models work that way) if that makes sense.

"because math" got it.

Is .... Is their banner supposed to invoke an instant thought of the Nazis?

While polio wasn't around while I was a child my aunt's uncle's parents knew someone who had polio while they were growing up.

Well yeah, if you go back to your grandparents' generation you're gonna see polio because you're taking 30s and 40s. My grandfather talked about it too, but my parents' generation didn't.

and photons are their own anti-particle.

How are they their own anti-particle? Because they destructively interfere or something?

Can you imagine

<pick a thing>

back then? Your neighbor could light up and there was nothing you could do but sit there and stew in the smoke stream

It wasn't just flying. I grew up in the 90s, and you could smoke in so many places, it was awful. I was so happy listening to my mother bitch and complain when they banned smoking in establishments entirely. I could finally breathe, and she had to go outside to keep killing herself (unless we were at home or in the car, in which case there was still nothing I could do but stew in the smoke).

I mean they don't believe at all in federal government unless you're talking about ice raids or police.

That's not true at all! How can you just ignore that they'll happily come to the fed and take all kinds of money (whether or not they use it for the intended purpose, or ignore disaster preparedness to spend the money on militarizing the cops)

Better adults than kids amirite?

Would it be possible for the antimatter particle to be ejected instead of the 'real' matter particular?

"Hard truth I learned as a CEO: Sometimes you have to lie to get what you want, regardless of reality and facts"

Anyone who thinks more work gets done in the office is an idiot, or lying.

While I wouldn't assume anything is permanent these days, I'd agree for the moment. I had already uninstalled Gemini on my phone (2ish months ago) and just verified I still see Google listed as the default assistant.

Aside from the fact that he made twitter (which I blame in large part for how our political/news media landscape, as well as modern discourse, has become so thoughtless), left and made blue sky, then left blue sky and endorsed twitter?

The dude supports a ton of toxic shit and can get entirely fucked.

If you can afford 3 houses, you can afford the extra tax on 2 or all 3 of them. And if you can't, maybe you don't need that many fucking houses....

Most people aren't homeless because there is no house available

It's amazing how I can add the word "affordable" to your statement and you're suddenly wrong.

You see this as wanting to tax second homes while ignoring that tons of people are homeless because they can't afford to live somewhere because of shitheads holding onto empty housing as an investment at the expense of the common person.

So yeah, let's tax any house left unoccupied for more than half the year. If you can afford to have 2 houses, you can afford to pay more for the one you don't live in so maybe we can free up some of them and lower the cost of housing.

The ADL has assured me that this was merely an awkward statement in a moment of enthusiasm
