"It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says," he added.

Way to give him ideas...

I guess they could have been making some interpretations of their hand gestures, deliberately ignoring that Venezuelan ~~fishermen~~ drug smugglers are unlikely to know the hand signals of American military?

When American photographer Carl McCunn was stranded in Alaska, he was discovered by a state trooper plane. He cheerfully raised his fist in celebration. The plane left and never came back. Between this incident and perishing there he read up on hand signals, and learned that he had inadvertently signaled "all is well".

No ally of the US would look at them the same way ever again. To be fair, they already don't, but this would propel the US from "bad ally" to "second cold war enemy".

He may have done stuff, but even if he did he knows it's not in the files. If it was in the files Trump would have released it by now.

I hate Facebook as much as the next guy, but they did create React, as well as some other contributions.

The key to becoming bilingual is consistency. Kids quickly settle on one language if they catch on that everyone in their sphere speak it. Therefore it helps a lot to have certain people in their lives exclusively speak the minority language around them. Otherwise they'll soon stop speaking the other language.

Also, it's important that kids overhear adults conversing in both languages. If all conversation only happens between adults and children, they are in my experience a lot less likely to want to speak that language, and they also miss out on a lot of vocabulary. Reading books helps with the latter, but not the former.

If this kid is growing up in Poland, they will inevitably learn Polish. The parents don't need to, and also shouldn't, be the ones teaching the child polish. That job is best left to native Polish speakers. This will ensure that the child learns both languages well. There's no point in the child learning how to speak polish with a heavy Ukrainian accent.

Ah, I see now that they brought it back after a couple weeks.

They also love making their cars extremely complicated, so maybe it's better if people need to do some research before taking apart something they can't reassemble.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. I've basically lived in the command line for more than two decades, and even I prefer UIs for certain tasks:

• Graphical things like web browsing
• Things I rarely do, and a UI is readily available

If I'm cropping a single image, I'm firing up Gimp, Preview, Paint or whatever tool is already installed. If I'm cropping 30 images in the same way, I rediscover how imagemagick works and script it.

It's all about what's faster and easier to get the job done, and whether a UI or the command line is preferable depends on how often I do the task (which determines if I remember how the CLI works) and how repetitive the task is (which determines if I want to script it).

What really grinds my gears, though, is how many people prefer a pretty UI over a functioning UI.

I thought 4chan was dead? Are people posting green texts somewhere else now?

I was on a date with an Asian woman years ago, and she decided to order Chicken Fried Rice. I don't remember what I ordered, but it was something less stereotypically "white".

They gave me the fried rice, and a fork. We just laughed, traded dishes, and asked for another pair of chopsticks.

He does care. In this case he's thrilled that he got killed, because in his mind he deserves the death penalty for criticising the almighty Trump.
