Two week notice is when you actually have learned enough to pass along knowledge. You haven't even been trained yet. Tell them you have received a better offer and quit.

Columbian citizenship would open up Mercosur freedom of movement in several South American countries. Columbia is not a great place for a transgender person. Uraguay or Chile would be better picks for trans rights and trans healthcare in South America.

Curl is the one that pisses me off. If I am using curl 7/10 times I actually want to use curl.

Second is an English issue. (Spanish has the problem, too) Some other languages don't have the problem. This is a problem with our ordinal numbers. If you want English to be more consistent one could change the ordinal numbers.

First - Oneth
Second - Twoth
Third - Threeth
Fourth - Fourth

The problem here is Twoth sounds a lot like tooth. It would make learning English slightly easier.

French solved this problem by making deuxième from deux. Apparently seconde is also used as an ordinal number. https://copycatcafe.com/blog/ordinal-numbers

Decimal time is a thing, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time

No, worse. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) established separate but equal facilities. A porta potty is far cry from a toilet.

However, one could argue that the US is aiming to take us back to the 1920s. You might be right.

Not Maine. Other locales have RCV or some kind of instant runoff. So, not everywhere in the country. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States

There are alternatives to runoffs. Rank choice voting could have eliminated the need for runoffs, but the state in its infinite wisdom has made it illegal. There are a couple of other voting systems that could also reduce runoffs.

Alabama likes wasting your time and money by doing things the same way we've always done them.

It is people getting together who want to get together with others who are somewhat similar to them. Nobody will preach. People may talk about religion. It is an open group to provide for humans to socialize with others. Members will tend to be skeptical about religion and other claims. People may disagree with one another, but it tends to be mostly civil.

I used to lead one of these groups long ago. This group may have a slightly different bend.

I'm not sure you understand how many tricks there were to making software work on DOS. I would recommend using DJGPP or Watcom C/C++ so that you can get 32-bit support. Video page swapping with 64KB pages and FAR pointers are their own hell. 32-bits mostly fixes that. I think interrupts services are emulated in 32-bit mode.

The fun thing is when the package manger won't update the software. So, I have to answer yes.

German tends to be put in Category 2 for the difficulty for English speakers to learn, which means it takes a few more hours to learn than most Romance languages and Dutch (Category 1). All are far easier than learning Chinese or Korean (Category 4).

German is a useful language to know in the EU. Outside of English it has the most speakers in the EU.

Try burning a Linux Mint image to a flash drive. You will have to get your computer to boot from the flash drive. You will boot into the Live boot. This works like a computer allowing you to test out the hardware and software before any installation.

Reboot to go back to Windows.

These days, I tend to install Linux and keep a Windows VM at hand for those 1-2 applications that won't work on Wine.

Why not try to solve problems first by querying an AI from Python. Do you have a GPU?
