The mac I plug into my work center via a single usb-c connection which charges it, connects it to my external monitor, and connects it to all of my USB equipment

I do this with my Dell, which also has many ports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thing is, the universe is really really really fucking big and old. There might have been a million other super advanced societies throughout the universe space and throughout the universe life, but the chances of us knowing about them would still be negligible.

There are tens of billions of planets just in the milky way, most of them probably at least 5 billion years old. And there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe, if not trillions. The nearest one is 25,000 light years away. Do the math.

The chances of life existing elsewhere are pretty much 100%. The chances of us ever knowing about it are pretty much 0%.

Yelling dakadakadaka while going back and forth would be hilarious

I think it has more to do with being readable on small screens, like mobile phones. It still doesn't make sense to me to completely remove your logo and replace it with a sans serif name of your company like jaguar just did.

EoL of anything should mean open source code. You don't want to open source your code? Then you must keep servicing your products and must keep your servers up

You can do it in a multitude of ways. The French for instance elect their president by voting twice, the first time they vote for their favorite candidate (and the parliament), the second time they vote for either of the two candidates that got the most votes (a run off)

There are other ways, like ranked voting, or you could look up parliamentary republics for an alternative form of government.

Read up on what happens in the rest of the world, at this point, we, as a human species, have tried pretty much everything

The concept of sick days is fucking ridiculous

Germans and French vacations are a lot more spread out than this.

In Italy instead it's pretty much mandatory to take vacations in August, as whole industry sectors close down for 2-3 weeks. Factories go on a hiatus beginning from the second week of August to the start of the fourth week, or the end of the month.

Sometimes it's surreal when you stay home in August and the whole city is deserted, no one to be seen, no traffic, no noise, just scorching heat. At least in the North, in the south it's the exact opposite, with everyone going to the sea and the population doubling overnight at the start of August.

June and July instead are pretty much taken by the Germans, especially around the lakes of the North.

Overpriced and mid? Yup, checks out

You shouldn't press the coffee in a moka. Leave it as fluffy as you can

Yeah, but they've stuck to their guns, and now they can stand proud next to the bodies, knowing they never compromised on their moral integrity.
