The lack of braces in python code makes it quite difficult to read for someone who’s used to languages that use braces.

That seems dumb. I share an apartment with a friend, which is getting more and more common in this housing market. Would this law mean we’d be married even though we’re just friends or does it only apply to men and women living together (and does that mean that 2 people of different sex cannot live together as friends without accidentally getting married?)

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a legally binding contract.

Antitheist

That is salmiak flavored licorice, it’s not salmiak. Just like a bag of paprika flavoured crisps says ‘paprika’ on the front, doesn’t mean that paprika is another word for crisps.

The only relation between licorice and salmiak is that it’s used to flavour a specific type of licorice.

It’s also used in fertilizer, as flux for soldering or galvanizing metal, in batteries, and lots of other applications.

You can also buy salmiak powder as a form of candy on it’s own.

No. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.

But it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?

Cats with the unusual coat – known as ‘salmiak cats’ (which translates as ‘salty liquorice’)

A better translation would be ‘ammonium chloride’, because that’s what salmiak is.

Bumble’s new verification feature lets users submit a picture of a government-issued ID to authenticate their identity

ID verification using a picture taken of the ID is practically worthless. It is trivial to fake.

Also crashing the economy so he can buy companies at bargain bin prices.

It’s so absurdly big. Our galaxy (the Milky Way) is estimated to have between 100 and 400 billion stars in it. For a long time we thought our galaxy was all there was, it wasn’t until 1925 when Edwin Hubble was able to prove that M31 was not a nebula or cluster of stars in our galaxy, but in fact an entirely different galaxy altogether that we realized there are more galaxies out there.

Look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field picture

This was a taken by pointing the Hubble Space Telescope at a basically empty bit of space 2.4 by 2.4 arcminutes in size (for comparison, the moon has an apparent size of about 30 arcminutes, or half a degree). So an absolutely tiny part of the sky. It contains about 10.000 galaxies.

The observable universe is estimated to have between 200 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in it, with on average about 100 billion stars per galaxy. It’s absolutely mind blowing.

The screen sharing is also missing basic features every other video conferencing app has. A huge one is being able to share part of your screen. You can either share a window or an entire screen, but often I want to show multiple windows. I have a 21:9 5k2k screen, if I share my entire screen no one who is working from a laptop can see what I’m doing. Just let me share an area of the screen to share.

Trump is 78 years old. The average life expectancy for males in the US is 74.8 years.

And this why I have a PS5.

They don’t, the only people who own many guns generally do so as a hobby.

If you look around the internet a little you’ll find plenty of people who apparently need 50+ guns for self defense.

But it’s not a requirement to survive

Then why should anyone be allowed to own a device that has no other purpose than to kill other human beings?

While the US is certainly more dangerous than most of Europe, the risks of being harmed are still quite low if you’re not involved in illicit activity or looking for trouble

Then why do people need to own 50 guns?

What do you mean brand? Bacon doesn’t have a brand. You go to a good butcher and buy bacon. No brands are involved.

Same. Turns out I do like cheese, just not the cheap rubbery crap they sell in the supermarket.

Why even bother with things like strings for a salt? I would expect it to just take a byte array. Just create some random bytes and provide that.

they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

That way you get an app that’s crap on every platform.
