And to think he’s the same guy who was losing all the dad joke don’t laugh challenges for laughing at his own jokes.

And his name is Andrew Hamilton, if anyone is wondering.

I think it’s clear by the end of Ender’s Game that Ender was never the main character (his realization of that drives a lot of his character development in the following books). And Bean is not really the main character in that part of the story either, just someone much smarter who better understands what’s going on and who the real players are.

As long as it’s got an e-ink screen, it’s already an upgrade vs reading on a phone or tablet.

You know what, I’m going to say that’s the right word in this context.

Some of these, despite being great movies, are a very hard watch for someone seeing them for the first time in 2025 if they’re not a hard-core movie buff.

I saw it when it came out and still remember every scene. I completely forgot episodes 2 and 3 to the point that I thought I never actually saw them. So I watched them and realized, oh yeah, I did see them before. And then forgot them again.

I decided not to comment on “complement”, but now I think you’re doing this on purpose.

Maybe this will help you understand what’s going on here https://xkcd.com/566/

Speaking as someone whose native language uses phonetic writing, it simply makes sense. You just write what you say. Yes, some people talk differently, and because the writing is phonetic you can easily capture that in writing and you have multiple spellings for the same word in the dictionary (some marked as regionalisms). And as pronunciation of certain words shifts in time, so does the spelling. When more and more people start writing the word as it sounds, instead of the “correct” spelling, the new version gets added to the dictionary.

To be fair, that’s usually the fastest option to fix other people’s code even if it wasn’t vibe coded. Sometimes that’s the best way to fix your own code too.

I was paying $3,300/mo rent back in 2020. Got a mortgage at the low rates of 2021 and got a $2,800 monthly rate. So it seems like it’s cheaper. But once I add the property tax (~$1,000/mo), HOA ($500), home insurance (~$300), it’s not at all cheaper to own than to rent. Plus paying for maintenance on our own (had to replace both the fridge and the washing machine in the time since we moved) adds up too. Not saying it was better to rent, but it was definitely cheaper.

That’s just for the “paid on time” section of your report. It helps a bit with your score, but it doesn’t change how banks determine your debt to income ratio.

Including the follow up of someone questioning “devout” and getting that quote in response.

I always keep at least a leg outside the covers, no matter how cold it is. I couldn’t bear to be completely covered, I get too hot. Under normal conditions I don’t use covers at all.

Yeah, it’s not called goto, but it’s functionally the same.
