The used car market is pretty rough too. A 10 year old Toyota Corolla with 100k miles is still a $10-15k car. Not terrible if you have the cash for it and you know it’s been maintained, but $15k is a lot to gamble on the previous owner havi

Interestingly, Apple's HIG generally suggest avoiding "Ok" in favor of an action describing what will happen. So save dialogs say "Save" not "OK". The empty trash dialog says "Empty Trash". Still

The lack of Easter eggs in programs I feel like is a combination of 3 things 1) more “professionalism” being expected in software. Computers aren’t quirky things anymore they’re “serious business” and “serious businesses don’t do quirky”. O

Sure but Senators actually have the power to make law, unlike the executive. Also let’s be honest, if any government official “requests” anything it is always under the threat of retribution. See also the Jimmy Kimmel situation.
