Goodbye

This?

Not gonna lie, that looks very difficult to use.

I had a Windows Phone with 2GB of memory before, even (old) Reddit was horrendous, let alone Proton Mail with all its JavaScript and images.

That still looks awesome NGL

Or notebook colours, as the user suggested:

    
📕: error message
📙: warning message
📗: ok status message
📘: action message
📓: canceled status message
📔: Or anything you like and want to recognize immediately by color

  

Why, Apple? Why?

That still works on people nowadays

Yep, it's at the spot for 20!

Isn't this from Twitter?

Yep, my prev. CEO capped working from home to 1 day a week and treated it like we were requesting a holiday.

“I have such a nice office and then nobody shows up, you know how much that hurts?”

Man, how far removed from reality can you be?

“Deaf” just means that you have such profound hearing loss that you can't communicate verbally properly, most deaf people do register sound albeit very badly.

I, for instance, have about 75 dB hearing loss, I don't hear people walking, and barely register high heels on tiles, I don't hear cars driving either, but I do hear it when they sound the horn; to give an idea of my deafness.

But I do know what spoken languages sound like, and what rhyming means. And how weird English spelling is, compared to its pronunciation. (English is my second/third language after Dutch and DSL, if that matters)

That said, there are people who really can't hear anything, I know someone who's ossicles (bones inside the ear, vital for hearing) don't make contact, he's never heard anything. He's aware certain words sound alike and (in Dutch) mostly when their spelt the same, but only because school / people around him told him that.

Some hearing people don't have internal monologue, either!

Yep, and there is sign language poetry in lots of different sign languages!

It's a beautiful and unique artform IMO

Most people who are medically deaf can still hear a bit. Also, deaf and hearing are proper nouns, no need to capitalise them for the NAD's odd outbursts.

That sounds about the same as having a human as ranger pet.

Oh cool! An IRL map of Galar! /j

If I need the top lines I usually just pipe output to less, but column is definitely going to help a lot!

Well holy crap that went from 0 too 100 at the end.

I've had Black Desert letting me play a bit with an outdated version (I didn't know there were updates, I hadn't used the launcher for a while) but it gave my account a time out of 10 days after my play session.

I was also surprised it didn't just go “Nope, update first!” immediately, I kind of expected that would be the case if I didn't use the launcher.

Man I had to scroll far down for this. I know her appearance and character is a bit hard to take seriously but she makes great points in this video.

Also, don't do pineapple armour, kids; this happens due to a Leidenfrost effect. The ball is hot enough to instantly vapourise water from the skin, insulating it with a thin layer of vapour. A less hot ball would damage it more, and so would fire.
