It was a joke. 😋

Yes, that’s how it’s pronounced after you drink it.

Snaps is something you drink.
AFAIK only users who have it shoved down their throat by Ubuntu use snap packages.

Almost exactly what I came to say, in Chess you lose fair and square based on how well you play.
And Chess always has the enjoyment of trying to figuring out the puzzle.
Games that have an element of chance, you can lose to the statistically improbable, despite being the better player.

In pure chance based games, it doesn’t really matter IMO, because it’s purely chance.

True, but here (Denmark) it is literally illegal to sell anything but pure fruit juice as juice, if it is made from concentrate it has to be labelled clearly, and it is only allowed to ad the amount of water that was removed.

If it has added sugar it is called Nektar.

If it has artificial flavors it is called Saft. Saft can also have added sugar. Saft also means Juice, English does not AFAIK have the words to distinguish between pure juice and flavored and sweetened juice.

IDK the rules in other EU countries, but my guess is that they are similar, but localized depending on language.

If it’s artificial it isn’t orange juice.

The waves are scary if you don’t read it correctly though.

There is no other option than to simply tear down the whole house and build a new one.

Does it really matter if she likes you because she is genetically or socially preconditioned to think you’re handsome?
Or she is randomly attracted to your pheromones?
Or you randomly share an interest?
Or whatever other random thing causes it?

Or that she likes you because you want her to?
Provided she still is allowed to decide for herself whether she wants to be with you.
Because people can like each other, without wanting to be together for other reasons.

Emotionally I agree that yes it matters, but I find it less easy to argue the point rationally.

Personally I prefer rolling releases, because apart from being generally more up to date having all the newest features, I also like to generally only have to fix 1 problem at a time. Where a dist-upgrade for a non rolling release sometimes have more problems at once.
I feel like I have fewer problems on average with rolling releases.

Very nice explanation. One minor detail though:

Endeavour doesn’t market itself as stable

Endeavour OS is per normal Linux developer definition unstable.
But that doesn’t mean what some people think it means. It only means it’s not feature freezed because it’s a rolling distro.
It doesn’t mean that it has more bugs, it can in theory have fewer bugs, because bug fixes are part of newer versions, and because it runs on newer versions of software.

What it means is that some features may change, and that can cause problems in a production environment. So often professionals prefer stable especially to avoid changes that may cause breakage of their routines, because features are frozen and do not change, which guarantees that production is not affected by changes that were not prepared for.

Many people believe stable means more reliable and fewer bugs, but that is not always the case. In my experience Arch derivatives are often more “reliable” and have fewer bugs than a “stable” OS like Ubuntu.

I haven’t tried Endeavour, but I used the older Antergos that Endeavour replaces, and Antergos was amazing IMO.

One thing in particular that makes a rolling release sometimes more reliable, is that it has newer drivers, and newer drivers often have bug fixes.
Especially for games newer graphics drivers are less likely to lack features a game may need.

My intention is to present an argument for the logical incorrectness of using the term “Americans” for citizens of USA.

And I already agreed with you on that point, but I also showed you that that is NOT how the English language works. So fucking stop beating a dead horse.
You are being annoying and stupid.
No you don’t sound aggressive or rude. You sound stubborn and annoying unable to accept facts that are presented to you very clearly.

No you don’t, you probably live in the Americas, huge difference. The language we use here is English, and unless you live in USA, you don’t live in America by definition of how English works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States

The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America

This is how the word America is used in English, completely disregarding whether you like it or not.

Now you simply have to piss off and stop being stupid. I have shown you 3 sources documenting that you are wrong, and explained how and why.
And no it has nothing to do with simple logic, because that is not how language is defined. Language is defined by how it is used, and everybody uses it the way I described to you.
If you persist being stubbornly ignorant, I will just have to block you. I tried to give you a thorough explanation, responding with this bullshit afterwards is simply not worth my time.
You cannot define languages no matter how stupid or illogical you think it is.

In the workplace you hopefully had help from your union. Americans rarely have that luxury.
Also it’s only in USA that France might be considered communist, because that’s completely moronic extreme right propaganda, since France has a free market economy like the rest of EU.
At least in EU insurance is under better regulation than in USA, but it still sucks to have to make insurance claims, that the insurance company has every interest in rejecting.

No USA has hijacked that. What you are talking about is the Americas plural with an S, which include north, south and central America.

I absolutely agree with you that it is stupid and arrogant of USA to call itself America. But it is shorthand for United States of America.

In my own language Danish “Amerika” is indeed the 3 Americas combined, but in English “America” is used interchangeably with USA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States

The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America,

https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerika

Amerika er den samlede landmasse indeholdende Nordamerika (inklusive Mellemamerika) og Sydamerika

Translation: “Amerika” is the combined landmass containing North America (including Central America) and South America.

It depends on the language, and here we use English. And yes I agree with you it is stupid. But people from USA are called Americans, hence it is sometimes more logical to use America than USA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American

American, something of, from, or related to the United States of America, commonly known as the “United States” or “America”

I don’t know what your native language is, but you are probably transferring norms from your own language to English, that in this context makes you simply wrong.

I see the world news sub every day, and I have never seen that claim.

China is coming from extreme poverty and a feudal society until not that long ago, and is a different culture. USA is coming mostly from European culture, but is doing worse in this field than any European country, despite being far richer than most European countries.
China has made a lot of progress the past 50 years, conditions in China are now without comparison better now than they were 50 years ago. In USA conditions are in many ways worse for the average worker than they were 50 years ago.

honestly don’t know what the “free healthcare in China” stuff came from

I have no idea what you mean. AFAIK China does not have healthcare for all, or free healthcare. But apart from that IDK how healthcare actually works in China.

If you read the above headline without thinking it’s insane, chances are you are American.
No developed country is as insane as USA, not even close, not even remotely close.
If you are sick, you shouldn’t need to fight for treatment, only in a sick society is that necessary.

The limit of speed of light is a property of space-time, not a property of light.
Another way to understand it is that it is the maximum speed of causality. The limit doesn’t go only for light, but for instance also for gravity, which AFAIK is also proven by the measurement of gravitational waves.
The reason only light can achieve this speed is that it is massless. Because if light had mass, it would have infinite energy, and take infinite energy to achieve the speed of light.
There are numerous explanations for how 2 objects moving at the speed of light still only approach each other at the speed of light.
Take a look at Youtube, there are many good videos explaining relativity in general and speed of light in particular.
