My partner is non-binary, so this search wouldn’t work on them.

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

Walk in, remove light. Now none of the switches control the light.

That is also assuming the lights are not recessed into the ceiling.

And the even more egregious assumption that you could even reach the lightbulb.

I did that. They were somehow still surprised when I proposed. Apparently measuring their ring finger was not enough of a hint.

My package manager has an old version that doesn’t work. I had to download from a browser to get a working version.

I used to be afraid of getting old, but I like this perspective. It’s not something to look forward to, but something to be proud of.

Kernel level anticheat still can’t detect all possible cheats, like Neuromuscular Aim Assist.

May I recommend Japanese numbers, but ordered alphabetically by romaji?

I decided to burn a forest down and empty an aquafer for you. I hope you appreciate it!

I’m in Australia, so requirements may differ.

I was required to get

• an operator accreditation for my car to be used
• a driver accreditation so that I can drive
• a vehicle inspection to prove the vehicle is safe to use
• different (more expensive) car registration to register the car as a rideshare vehicle
• increase in compulsory third party insurance to match the registration
• increase in car insurance for have a vehicle used for commercial purposes

In total, it was over $2,000 AUD and more than 1 month before I was permitted to take my first trip. With no training, no income guarantee, and no guarantee that I wouldn’t be immediately fired banned without cause.

Uber takes a 30%* cut first, then out of the remainder I had to pay 10% GST, then all car maintenance and fuel.
It was many hours of driving to break even. Adding the cost of food eaten while taking lunch away from home, I’m not sure I ever actually broke even. I certainly didn’t earn anything close to a living wage.

*number is out of date and from (poor) memory. Do not quote this number.

I used to drive for Uber.

They have very predatory and anti human behaviors built in - like making sure drivers have no good way to communicate with other driver so they can’t form a union.

Real contractors can negotiate their pay and working conditions, and real employees get training and usually know who their co-workers are.

Uber deliberately picks the worst of both categories when dealing with their drivers. Drivers are required to manage and pay for their own licence, vehicle, registration, maintenance, and fuel, while also having no training, no contact with other drivers, and no ability to negotiate pay or working conditions. Drivers can also be removed (fired) at any time without reason.

It took me over 6 months to break even on setup costs, not including the cost of the car I already had. No-one is using Uber as a way to get slightly more money when commuting with setup costs like that, and Uber knows it. “Uber” was always going to be a taxi service; just one that treats its drivers worse, pushes most costs onto the drivers, and funnels money to shareholders as fast as possibly while providing the minimum possible service.

Uber is a corporation with no empathy, and will happily crush all of its workers for slightly more profit. I will never again work for them or use any of their services.

Not shown is the center bit (majority) where heat and lack of water will kill you.

It could cost a bit if you wanted to keep it up to date.

Is “main” a valid Java identifier?

package main;

public class main {

    static main main;
    String Main;

    main(String main) {
        Main = main;
    }

    main(main main) {
        System.out.println(main.Main);
    }

    main main(main main) {
        return new main(main);
    }

    public static void main(main...Main) {
        main:
        for (main main : Main) {
            main = (main instanceof Main) ? new main(main): main.main(main);
            break main;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        main = new main("main");
        main.main(main, main);
        main = main.new Main(main) {
            main main(main main) {
                return ((Main)main).main();
            }
        };
        main.main(main);
        main.main(main,main);
    }

    abstract class Main extends main {
        Main(main main) {
            super("main");
        }

        main main() {
            main.Main = "Main";
            return main;
        }
    }
}

I once exited vim.
