I assume a mosquito that just had a meal even though it wasn't hungry and only wanted to give someone malaria.

So weird to downvote one of my favorite childhood games

Women are just as capable as man at the same time is the one you know that you can log in and view the Chase my home....

Good start, then just nonsense

Romans were not great at English I guess

we don't know that

might

Unless you're operating under "guilty until proven innocent", those are not reasons to accuse someone.

Oh yeah, forgot about refinancing. So you were still able to take full advantage of that.

For me it was an extremely lucky circumstance that my company's stock hit an all time high at the same time that mortgages hit an all time low (well, not entirely luck, both events were due to covid). I would have never been able to buy a house in my area otherwise.

Serious question. What exactly does it do to save time? My wife treats making bread like boiling an egg. Something you can do quickly and easily whenever you need it. So I'm wondering which part of it can be simplified.

right before COVID hit

Isn't that a year before house prices and mortgage rates dropped to all time lows?

And do games use it? Epic Store does achievements too, but very few games actually integrate with it.

I buy games on Steam for the achievements. Honestly, if it wasn't for Steam achievements, I'd have never made the switch from pirated games to buying them.

Video description explains why that is

I'm assuming they all measure in American left/right, nor actual left/right

Don't know about other clients, but vger shows a thumbnail of the video

Those villages didn't have electricity or running water at the time. They lived in the middle ages. My wife's grandparents lived in such a village. Her grandfather was thrown out by his parents as a kid because he was too small. He lived in the woods, surviving on roots and berries for years. Who is president was the least of his concerns. If the guy who gave him a piece of land to call his own told him that the best candidate is X, then that's who he'd vote for.

There were thousands of villages like that one all over the country. Reporters didn't need to hunt for he best soundbites, just pick a random village and you'll get all the material you need.

In most of those placed the mayor would come down before elections bringing gifts and telling them how everything they have is because of his party. And they have no reason not to believe him, since he's the only contact they ever have with any type of politics.

A lot of Russians have no idea what's going on. Rural communities get their information from state media and their local politicians.

I remember people in rural areas of my East European country being interviewed about politics and they were completely clueless. Some thought the president was still the same guy who was violently overthrown in bloody revolution over a decade before. Many would vote for whoever their mayor told them to vote for. I remember someone being asked why she's voting for someone and her answer was "because he's the president" (he was running for a second term). She honestly didn't know how it all works and found it natural to vote for the president, not some other guy.

So yeah, if people like that are told those guys are oppressed and we sent an army to liberate them, they'll believe it and support the war. That doesn't mean they deserve to be victims of that war.

For me it's just convenience. It's not because vim is better, but because it works on any terminal. I don't depend on a particular IDE setup, I can jump on any computer and start working. And since I've been using it for so many years I'm very fast in it. The best tool is often the one you know best.

I don't think it's misleading. I think a lot of people who think of Mars as the closest don't realize that it's only close once every 2 years or so and unimaginably far away on average (further than Mercury).

Wasn't Mew in the original Pokémon games found through data mining and only obtainable by hacking?

Not sure why you'd remember the ones you rarely need. I just memorized the things I use. Remembering stuff you use is much easier than learning a programming language. I've been programming for over 30 years and I've been using vim as my only "IDE" for the last 14 years. It would take me significantly less time to teach someone vim than to teach them programming.
