The puzzling part is fun, because you are constantly learning new ways to use your body. See how to balance, how to move around, etc. I have found that dancing gives a similar learning challenge. Especially the more free-form dances like salsa and bachata. It’s fun learning new moves every week during the lesson, and then try to see if you can put them to practise during a party.

And don’t worry about beeing to stiff. If you can balance around boulders, you can get your body to move around for dancing too. Just takes some practise. I currently do both, and feel like I lack dexterity more for the climbing than for the dancing.

And unlike most of the hand-friendly options mentioned already, you do have to use your hands and arms a lot. Just not in a way that puts any stress on them.

Point 1 has to be chosen when the cat is young. Forcing an outside cat to suddenly only be inside often doesn’t work.

I adopted a 7-year-old cat from the shelter, and after a week of having to be inside all the time, he got more and more frustrated. After a week and a half, he escaped during the night. In the morning, while I was panicking, he came strolling in as if nothing was wrong.

Since he apparently comes back, I allowed him outside from then on. Since that moment, his behaviour inside has improved a lot. No more random play attacks on my ankles and hands, and generally much calmer.

He has also come back home with mice several times. He always eats them. So I think he is very used to living outside. Maybe been a stray, or a farm cat.

Forcing him to be inside would feel cruel.

But I love coding at work?!

The problem is that every living entity in a 10 kilometer radius around me, seems to be hellbent on getting me to do anything but coding. Refining work estimates, fixing badge access rights, fixing a driver issue, telling people that you cannot do 1000 things at the same time, teaching the new developer how shit (doesn’t) works, mangling Jenkins into a functional state again, explaning that thing I did a year ago but is only now used (it was very high prio a year ago), writing documentation that noboby ever reads, progress meetings, specialty group meetings, knowledge sharing meetings, company wide meetings, etc.

I have a ton of legs. Waayyy more than 2.

What can I say? They were cheap, and I love chicken.

“You can simply remove the appraiserres.dll file in the Windows 11 ISO file to make the Setup avoid these checks and install Windows 11 on any unsupported hardware too.” From the following article: https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-use-rufus-to-disable-tpm-and-secure-boot-in-bootable-windows-11-usb-drive/

That sounds hard, but Rufus made this easy. Just select the right option. So just use Rufus to create the install usb: https://rufus.ie/en/#

This also allows local accounts, and disables all the tracking bullshit with a single click each.

Or just circumvent the “requiments” that are so required that a few registry hacks disable them, allowing you upgrade to win11 via windows update.

Or if you want a fresh install, use rufus to create the install usb stick, and select the option to disable the tpm requirement.

I don’t believe that is true. It might surprise you how often testicles are eaten.

Even in Javascript, the ?? operator checks explicitly for null or undefined. So it added undefined, but not 0 or false. But adding undefined sounds like a good addition for this operator.

See the Javascript section of: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_coalescing_operator#Examples_by_languages

There is a subtle, but important, difference between letting people know your product exists or improved, and brainwashing people into buying your product.

Is a grocery saleman at the local saturday market allowed to shout about the sale he is doing on strawberries? Because that is also marketing.

I fully agree that the average advertisement you see on youtube is pure cancer. But what about an advertisement for an emergency fund for a disaster?

What about a sponsored video of a game?

Where do you draw the line?

I have decided to assume that OP is already married to said old friend, and has two kids with said old friend. His marriage to this old friend just feels right.

At least a good diff tool will ignore whitespace diffs.

I also can’t figure out why their selection is what it is. But Thales is not really 1 company. Tacticos is developed by the Dutch branch (note that the location of this job is Hengelo), which means it is treated as a Dutch company for export control purposes, not a French one.

My guess would be that they have existing export contracts for new versions of Tacticos to these countries.

I remember the matches where you transport drop you commander into the enemy base, so both your and their commander blow up inside their base. The hardest part was getting the game rules past the eyes of your friends while setting up the game.

So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?

This does not make them evil by any standard I know. It just sounds like a solid long term business plan.

So you are looking for empty gems, so you can fill them with the souls of your “friends”, allowing you to call upon them anytime to play more boardgames.

A reasonable goal.

“Ammo conversation”, for when you let your guns do all the talking, but you need to express yourself beyond just violence.

Such thoughts can be very Satisfactory indeed.

My C++ teacher taught me to be against unions. He made everything class based instead.

This is terrible programming advice.

Considering that portals are quite literally linked in a spatial manner, it would make sense that they physically cannot move independantly. Moving the orange portal would also move the blue portal. Or from a different perspective: the portals are always fixed in space, but their surrounds can move.

But that does not make the question shown here untestable. It just means the output portal will have a velocity of it’s own.

How to test: place 2 portals next to each other on a wall. Then apply propulsion gel in front of the orange portal. And finally move yourself at high speed through the orange portal.

If your speed is unchanged after exiting the blue portal, but your velocity has been inverted with respect to the direction that the wall is facing, we can conclude option B must hold.
