This has happened to my wife with plane tickets. She has an é in her first name. Thankfully they let her fly but yes this can have serious consequences. She now usually just uses e but technically that doesn't match her passport so it's always a gamble.

You can even compile to a native executable these days I believe so you don't have to have the .net runtime installed or bundled.

They now spruke .NET MAUI (Multi-Platform App UI) as the new "write once, deploy everywhere" framework. I've not used it but it sounds good in theory 🤷‍♂️

Or what if your SSD borks it and you're unable to do a secure erase on it? Happened to my wife's laptop. I'm planning on smashing the SSD to ensure the data is destroyed before putting it in recycling.

I pay for premium but I ended up installing revanced on my phone so I could disable shorts and it also skips in-video ads which is really nice. I didn't disable YouTube's ad blocking though because I don't need to.

Yeah Australia is slightly different to the US in that it's huge but there are very few people living here. Take the largest state: Western Australia which is literally 4 times the size of Texas. But do people drive from Adelaide (capital of South Australia) to Perth (capital of Western Australia)? No, not generally. It takes 28 hours of non-stop driving. And the thing is, there is hardly anything in between. This means you have to be careful about fuel stops and maybe even have a satellite phone. Look up the Nullarbor Plain of you're interested.

People "from the country" might drive several hours to visit relatives and you might drive 3-4 hours to go to a camping/holiday destination, but if you're headed to another major city, you are most likely going to fly.

The closest other capital city to Adelaide is Melbourne but that's still ~8 hours away by car. But there is a really nice scenic route called the Great Ocean Road which you would usually do over a a few days.

The heat death of the universe is inevitable anyway 🤷‍♂️

I'm a mix between chaotic neutral and lawful neutral. I have a vertical monitor on my left which is mainly for slack + documents. Center screen for code and what ever I'm focused on and laptop screen on the right for calendar, email, other not in focus things.

It's not so black and white though. Passion jobs are often exploited because people will put up with it more and there is higher demand for those types of jobs.

Your best bet is to find something that is interesting and nice enough to keep you content and not bored to death but not so enthralling that you feel like working unpaid overtime or what ever. Bonus points if it's paid relatively well.

Their hand is half in very clear water.

Yeah, who didn't fill them with some sort of alcohol?!

They took it further than the incorrect "would of" just to fuck with us.
