So you write your code in 1s and 0s and don't use programming languages written by others?

I have an old model. I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

My microwave oven makes not 1, not 2, not 3, ... but 6 beeps when it's done. I hated the thing. No way to disable it. So I ended up opening the damn thing, find the tiny speaker and unsolder its wires ([1], [2])

My Instant Pot does the same thing, but I only use it in the evening, so not so much of a big deal as the microwave oven.

The real problem for me is that you need to know where to search in ordre to make the search:

Car troubles? YouTube chrisfix car_problem

Knowlage stuff? Wikipedia query

Programming question? Stackoverflow question

... and so on

These are some segments from the French far right backed media, mainly CNews, BFMTV (The French version of FOX News)

Translation (as best as I can)

- We clearly see what they're [Ukrainians] fleeing and it's out of the question to say: Are you really refugees?

- We are in the 21th century, we are in a European city and we have missile attacks like if we are in Iraq or in Afghanistan, can you imagine that!

- In the other hand, it will be, without a doubt, a high quality immigration. They will be intellectuals...

- ...because they are Europeans of culture even if they are not from the European Union, they are a nearby population, very close.

- We are not talking about Syrians fleeing bombardments of the Syrian regime backed by Vladimir Poutine, we are talking about Europeans [fleeing] in their cars which look like our cars.

- There is a difference between Ukrainians which participate in our civilized space, and peoples from other civilizations.

- We will have a high quality immigration, from which we can profit.

- We are not confronted with immigrants which will be dealt with in an immigration logic.

- The last guy was talking in English

One thing that always bothered me about energy waste are fridges in the cold winter.

Outside the house is cold, so we heat the house. Outside the fridge (house) is hot, so we cool inside fridge.

Is there no option for fridges/freezers to get cold air from outside the house? Or is the overcomplication not worth it?

I'm a bit confused. Are they going to leave the sides open like that? What if a pebble gets stuck in there?

I made a small app for my specific need and decided to share it with people with same interests. It stated getting traction and more and more users started using it. At first I was exited to read the 5 stars reviews and thanks. When the app got even more traction and reached +30K users, the reviews and direct emails became toxic and insulting: why doesn't the app do this? why is it free? are you selling our data? (the app is free w/o ads and with Zero permissions not even network. It's just a small sqlite database with a UI).

The I read the Flappy Bird's creator story[1], I decided to stop reading the reviews all together, it's just too much stress. I'm sure a lot of users (the silent majority) appreciate and find the app useful.

I clicked thinking, this is just a guy who'll disassemble a smartwatch and put his DIY housing and strap on it.

But man! I was so wrong, and I'm totally impressed.

Nothing. Learning a new language at middle age is hard and demands a lot of effort.

Some languages are harder than others though. I leaned English in my twenties (20-25) it was easier than learning German (at 25+). Maybe that's because there is a lot of material in English compared to German (TV shows, Movies, Music).

I also tried Japanese, it's fairly easy to pick up daily phrases but reading/writing was almost impossible for me.

This reminds me of the Japanese railway employees pointing at things.

What I personally do is to write my question down, copy it, say Hi, wait for a replay, then paste my question. And thus have the best of the two approches.

I got frustrated with it and just tried appending /about, and it worked.

I turned your styling to a Stylus/Stylish script: https://github.com/taoufix/user-styles/blob/master/dark-thin...

It's a dark version. Feel free to copy/change it.

But Google is not good at marketing either :/

Thanks a lot for the add-on.

I never knew washing machines had concrete in them :(

Here you go :

Travis: So we are reducing the number of black cars in the next few months.

Fawzi: It’s good.

Travis: You probably saw some email.

Fawzi: I saw the email [that says] it starts in May. But you’re raising the standards and dropping the prices.

Travis: We’re not dropping the prices on Black.

Fawzi: But in general.

Travis: In general, but we have competitors. Otherwise we’d be out of business.

Fawzi: Competitors? You had the business model in your hands, you could have the prices you want but you choose to buy everybody a ride.

Travis: No, no no. You misunderstand me. We started high-end. We didn’t go low-end because we wanted to. We went low-end because we had to because we’d be out of business.

Fawzi: But people are not trusting you anymore. Do you think people will buy cars anymore? ... I lost $97,000 because of you. I'm bankrupt because of you. You keep changing every day. You keep changing every day.

Travis: Hold on a second. What have I changed about Black?

Fawzi: You changed the whole business! You dropped the prices.

Travis: On Black? Bullshit.

Fawzi: We started with $20.

Travis: You know what, some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!

Fawzi: Good luck to you too, I know that you aren’t going to go far.

I thought it was about using the current Tech (GPS tracking/social media) to provide evidence.

Admob too serves similar Ads: "Your phone is infected, click here to install Clean Master..."

It was also used for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2".

The first book I clicked on is not free.

I like the dauphin shaped Airbus :)

I think it's just a demo for a typical form.

You're right. I switched to incognito mode and got the new design.

Actually it's more like: I own a TV but I don't watch <insert popular show here>.

There should be an app for this: Is is OK to have a [Country X] stamp on my passport when going to [Country Y]?

> I wonder if Google will ever end up in legal trouble for such a policy.

I don't think so. It's not like they're banning IE9- users from accessing their services. It's just that the content will probably look weird to them.

Maybe one of these:

* Illegal downloads.

* Forwarding a corporate email.

* Some weird term of service in one of the dozen "I read and accept these terms" check-boxes you clicked.
