I joined Mensa, and at my first meeting I brought 'smarties' and 'smart food' to share. Nobody thought it was funny and they were kind of annoyed. I didn't come back.

Actually, when a judge signs off on it, like it or not, the warrant by definition becomes legal.

I hereby revoke my consent.

Because fascinating games with depth don't look like pretty like a Michael Bay movie. Go play Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft for a while and wonder why you look up at 5 am wondering where the night went. The same problems have hit Hollywood; When big money is involved you get people who are following the money without any passion for the craft.

And you're assuming that your compiler isn't inserting extra code that wasn't in the source code.

Will someone explain to me why I would choose "Cinnamon" or "MATE" or "Xfce" or "LXDE" etc etc etc?

It's really off-putting to hear how great Mint is, then go to the site and the first thing you need to do is decide which environment you will choose with no explanations of what that choice will mean to you.

I never made it past this phrase.

I hope you don't work as an English teacher.

Oh thank you, thank you, for using 'loose' instead of 'lose'. I think I cried a little.

The irony is you feel compelled to inject useless noise into the conversation on the very same topic your signature asks us not to complain about.

Yes, actually I did. I pointed out that he could get off the canoe right there and live in a hut and it wouldn't cost him a dime. His savings would most likely be enough to pay for whatever logistics he needed (plane tickets to visit home once a year, food, some clothes, etc). But he would be giving up the "normal" life he was used to. He thought about it for a moment and said he really wants to retire "in style" and not in a hut, and that he would have to "work his ass off" for a few more years to do that. At least he acknowledged what his priorities and trade-offs are.
