Also, how many pizza parties are you getting that are worth a raise? If you consider a 1000$ raise per year, which is I guess nothing on a US salary, it's like 50 pizzas. If you eat two whole pizzas at every single pizza party, that would be almost two parties per month. Is that a realistic amount of parties?

I've only seen Legal Eagle's highly edited reaction to the first episode, but holy hell from the little I saw I never want to see any.

Bad writing, well above the level of suspension of disbelief, totally stupid scenarios that come straight out of a 7 years-old idea of what's like being a lawyer. Like I get it, nobody expects perfect realism from a tv show, but you don't need to be a practicing laywer to feel the writers are pretending you are stupid and try and write scenes thay thought as fake arguments under the shower.

And the characters are these obnoxious alpha-male machos that try and fuck over each other and desperately try to not seem weak in front of others. Maybe this show is so meta to ridiculize the current 21st century man that it goes all around, who knows.

I used modern gnome and I seriously don't understand how it's "more modern", most changes feel a downgrade, I cannot divide apps by categories anymore, I only have a big menu that takes all my screen and shows me like 15 apps at a time, unlike "traditional" desktop apps I can control with Alt+Some keys I have the same toolbar filled with burger menus and icons with no text so difficult to use, gnome file manager is objectively inferior in features to Nemo, and don't get me started on the desktop, when you click an application icon on the application bar it doesn't even minimize like on every other desktop interface.

Either ubuntu ships a broken version of gnome or it just sucks, and there are also all kind of management issues that make development very inefficient.

As far as I know Mint and Fedora have the same choice of Desktop Environment more or less, I'm really curious to know what you refer to when you say "modeen interface"

Especially since they technically exploited a bug in my own code.

Yeah that's called an intrusion, hackers do that and it's illegal. If you accidentaly leave you house door unlocked is it your fault if someone trashes your house?

Report them, no damage was done and it's a relatively minor thing so I wouldn't expect grave consequences, but maybe this person will be more more responsible in the future.

Stumbled upon Jeremy Clarkson biking in a European capital. We instinctively approached him to just confirm if he was us, and he politely asked to not bother him because he was on holidays. We felt a little bad and of course left him alone. It must be a little sad to be famous and be recognized everywhere

They both (Picard more than Discovery) used a nostalgia checkpoint to connect to previous media, rather than expanding those themes in meaningful ways.

Honest question: why buy from doordash at all when you have 120$ in the bank? Why not buy groceries and eat a simple, healthier, cheaper meal?

Even android stopped supporting shaped icons to feel like apple where you only have stupid rounded squares. Thank you overlord google for plain boring corporatism when you could have chosen interesting thing you already did
