I don't know Rust, I just had to use AI to see what the difference was between &str and String. To be fair, it seems unnecessarily complex that they are both types, yet in totally different formats. Why &str? Why not at least String and &String to make it more consistent. Or DynamicString and LiteralString. The standard inconsistency would drive me nuts too. Seems not well thought out.

It's funny how you bash MATE for looking like it came from a time capsule but then you praise XFCE which has no modern features at all.

Yes congress is supposed to set tariffs as well. The government doesn't waste money, Musk has proven that. I'm not sure what the problem is with having a school board in each state. Every state has different needs. Different levels of poverty, different availability of staff, different shootings, etc. I think you are vastly underestimating the complexity of running schools.

So you advocate that scientific institutions ignore science that you don't like? Have you taken any steps to disprove this science?

Anyone who is willing to sacrifice any and all government services that they pay taxes for is pretty stupid. Too stupid to understand that their lives are comfortable because of the government and Trump is taking it all away. Maybe entitlement is the word. Is there a word that describes mind boggingly entitled?

Also it turns out that many diseases can be cured that way too.

America's loss will be canada's gain.

There is hardware only made in the US??

Nor is living when you are working for free.

I guess the difference is that you watch the same movies over and over again and you get bored of them so you need to look for new things in them. I just watch a different movie, and I still don't think I will see all the good ones in my lifetime.

I don't think the chance of finding a charger right next to somewhere you want to go is that high, and what I definitely don't want to do is change where I go to find something to do while charging. And don't you have to be back and leave with the car once it is charged?

As a person with ADHD I guess I don't understand why you would want the distraction. A big part of filmography is to blur the things that don't matter so that you can be immersed in the story. In fact when cameras went digital it was a big problem that they had a much wider fields of view and couldn't blot out the background. It just seems to take the magic away for a story like star wars, because you are going to see that all those blinking lights in the background are actually made with 70s technology. It's like watching the film with directors comments. Ironically a great film explains it best-- look at the man behind the curtain and you will be disappointed. It's like watching a film with the directors comments, unless you are a student of film it matters not what the director was thinking, only what you take away from the work.

What movie has things happening in the background in that deal that matters to the story?

Then it's fortunate we went overboard and bought 10-12 of them in the end.

Truthfully, my favorite TV to watch movies on has always been my Hitachi 540p projection TV. It was the first model to come with DVI. The way that real bulbs project light just reminds me so much more of watching a film.
