It’s much better today, but in 2010 that was 100% accurate.

That being said, using Java as a first time programming language is like a 15 year old trying to fly an airliner to get a few blocks away to pick up some after school snacks. Obviously it’s way overkill. Sure you could get across town with it, but it’s probably 1000x more complicated than just a simple bicycle or even walking.

Java is industrial strength for professionals. There’s absolutely no consideration made for educational usage.

Thanks!

What is that quote? Anyone know?

Here’s an online calculator

The seller though usually turns around and spends all that money on a bigger place, taking out a larger mortgage with greater interest payments.

So realistically the only entity profiting from rising house prices are banks and real estate agents.

Sellers feel richer, but then they lose it on the next place that is more expensive

Perhaps you were thinking of?

I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.

Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.

A strong back will do wonders.

Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won’t tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

I’ve had a few of these over the years, possibly the best value for price ever. Every place I live, I just get another one and leave it there like some kind of Johnny Bidetseed.

Just watched this last night, and it remains so creepy. I don’t care for it one bit.

My roommate remarked: “ew, what do you call bestiality, but like for fruit”. I had no witty response

Fantastic, this got me chuckling!

I know a Thomas too! He’s the straight cis eye of a queer hurricane. And it wasn’t always this way, he just keeps pulling folks into his massive orbit. Folks who later realize they are queer. He never brings it up or even seems to notice.

I finally realized what’s going on and it’s just a little weird. Like, what the hell is going on? Do my friends even have free will?! Do I?!

I conclude that Thomas has such a pure heart and loves so freely that he innervates people with restless souls. They/we are drawn to this vibe like planets in his solar orbit.

I should write him a poem about this

Thomas’ pure heart

Orbit for expanding souls

A queer hurricane

Whoa this song absolutely slaps. I’m so glad you posted this!

Yeah, TBF I was really just making a snarky dig at the misogyny in the evangelical world.

I can immediately think of a counter example: the Golden Compass. It’s written by a man, but basically takes the stance that the devil is the good guy and has a main character whose best skill is the ability to lie so well she can pretty much always get what she wants. The church equivalent abuses children and looks the other way about it when confronted 💀

Unsurprisingly that series isn’t too popular among fundies

I got a copy of it, excited to give it a listen!

Witchcraft is fine. Every evangelical I know was allowed to read Hobbit, LOTR, Dune, Narnia.

The problem is witchcraft written by women
