I think there are many people in the world a given person is compatible with. However, those relationships will be right in different ways.

A relationship is wrong if you can't communicate openly or you feel like they are trampling over your personality.

Yeah this could have padded out the repetitive side content

Yeah I can feel a temptation to hunch but the only other option is sitting up totally straight. Works for me most of the time. Otherwise, I stand with my laptop on a large chest of drawers.

I find it a little bit useful to supplement a search engine at work as a dev but it can't write code properly yet.

I've got an ergonomic kneeling chair and it has so far been a lot better than an office chair at home for my posture.

finna rizz up some FOSS contributors

My uncle works at Nintendo and he says that 5G towers are part of an enormous reptilian alien conspiracy.

I've upgraded to ex recently. No point in living in the stone ages!

Ah yeah you wouldn't say the L at the end of 'cul', right? Sometimes in English people don't make the L sound in 'cool' if they are trying to be particularly cool.

Ty I was misremembering

I told this to some French speaking friends when I first found out a few years ago and they were totally non-plussed. Seems like only native anglophones enjoy this fact.

Then again, in France younger people might use the English word "cool" despite the fact it sounds like the French for ass ("cul"). Probably used to it.

Do you name every FOSS project? This is uncannily close to what an actual open source project would be called, including the logic behind it.

It's common in a number of different countries, not just India. Typically in the Middle East region.

I believe the logic would be something in between an extended handshake and the Western reasoning for holding hands. Like, "I am giving my attention this person".

Having really unhealthy co-workers can be, uh, eye opening

Wasn't Alyx a shadow drop? Might be misremembering

Not really helpful if you are on another distro but gentoo has a savedconfig flag for the package that lets you store a permanent header file for the DWM variables in with the package manager config files. It integrates really nicely.

Might be a side effect of being raised by an oncologist

The currency of Turkey is cheap and international investors don't have any faith in their government to run the economy. The latter means that there is less foreign investment, so coupled with the aforementioned cheap currency, properties are cheap there.

I've worked with programmers who actually look after their physical health too - it's nuts!

The only times I struggle to admit I'm wrong is if my interlocutor has an attitude I find grating. Sometimes in online debates I just don't reply and give people the last word instead of continuing a heated conversation if I think they have a point.

Otherwise happy to admit that I'm wrong if someone cites a study or whatever that says something counter to what I'm claiming.
