I think you belong to a small percentage of the population doing that. Most people don't bother with such detailed life microoptimizations.

Yeah, that comment is a textbook example of failure to communicate.

Why so secretive? Share the list.

Interesting. I'm just relaying what I read in quality newspapers over here. And it's not just Africa. Anyway, you may be right. Do you have numbers?

South China sea, Tibet, Uyghuria, Taiwan. And definitely dominance over SE Asia even though no direct conquest.

It has been quite good at indebting countries to them, in Africa but also e.g. Montenegro.

As the saying goes: you can fool all people some of the time, and some people all of the time. Actually, depending on what you're doing, it can be totally fine. Just be aware that you're losing some generality.

Off-topic, but I am reminded of Larry's First and Second Laws of Language Redesign (which Larry Wall discovered/stated when he designed Perl 6, which is now Raku): 1. Everyone wants the colon. 2. Larry gets the colon.

Do a web search for the parent of your comment, read the Stackoverflow answer. It's a classic. Learn about Zalgo and Tony the pony, he comes.

Firefox didn't offer to translate this, so initially I wasn't aware that it could. But I could get it to translate via the menu. And Google Translate is still a bit better, so I do regularly fall back to that.

Depends in which country you live. Netflix was the only thing in many places outside the US for a long time.

Those were normal reservations, not Interrail ones, which I explicitly was talking about, trying to get the conversation back on track to Interrail which is the subject of TFA. Those high prices are what I meant with "sold out" ab

If carry propagation is so expensive, why are the mathematicians, like Karatsuba, ignoring it? It seems like we need a better complexity measure.

Have fun on your hill. Or not, if that's what you prefer.

Same, same. Actually, strong side wind was the worst.

The only way to properly realize human potential is to have no fun when doing your work? Are you really sure you want to live in a world like that?

I'm quite sure C.S. Lewis was referencing that explicitly.

I've taken Amsterdam-London with Interrail many times, usually €35, sometimes €57, often sold out. So yeah, two price levels; Eurostar is basically SNCF.

Uphill both ways!

The Interrail reservations/supplements are fixed price (or for some SNCF trains there are two price levels as the train fills up). But their number is limited, so in a way the advice is the same.

I'm righthanded and I usually hold my phone in my left hand so I can do clicking and typing with my right hand, but I often do basic scrolling with my left thumb.

I'm still living in the Netherlands without a bank app. It's occasionally less convenient, but quite doable.

I would like to add one note: if I were an activist in Iran, or in any other way my livelihood would depend on strong privacy services, I might keep using your service and even be (slightly) more certain of the company's resolve to kee

Oh, come on. If you're trying to make a point, be more clear.
