I’ve seen this sentiment a few times online, so I have to wonder how you all are preparing your tomatoes and the sandwiches that they go in? I just don’t seem to have this problem
Cutting them up wrong? e.g. halved/quartered cherry tomatoes
Is it a stacking order thing? e.g. maybe between slices of Gouda?
Overuse of condiments? e.g. too much mayo/dressing around them
I always season tomato slices before using them, as it’s obviously against the Geneva convention to not, so maybe that’s the extra friction the war criminals are missing?

If you buy a phone that doesn’t come with the stock OS with a locked bootloader, just reflash as a precaution.

The closest thing to PayPal in Europe is probably Klarna, albeit they put a stronger focus on their credit product, you can use it to just pay up front

- Comment on Why are so many new programming languages being developed? 4 weeks ago:
As others have mentioned Go and rust are nearly old enough to drink.
And the answer is pretty simple, if an existing language does something differently to how a group of people wants to work, someone will eventually write a language to do it that way.
There’s no single way to solve a problem, and that’s a good thing. If someone wants to whip something up quickly there’s a host of high level languages to do that in, it just probably won’t be especially quick. If you really care about performance, there are low level languages with varying levels of safety measures. Then there’s the whole code style thing, you might be a functional programming monk who is truly at home in APL, others may still long for something a bit more LISPy.
stuff that used to work fine in whatever old language it was in is now rewritten in a new language.
This is an illusion. If a project is moving from one language to another, that’s not a lightly taken decision, and almost definitely means they’ve had it with all the issues brought by the first language. I’m assuming you’re referring to the movement from C/C++ code to Rust that I’ve seen a fair bit.
This one particularly is because in C-like languages, any engineer will make mistakes, and those mistakes may never be obvious enough to be fixed. These kinds of mistakes are what cause those random crashes that never get fixed, but more severely, they often also give an opening for a security researcher (or someone more nefarious) to exploit. No one typically wants their software to be used for making people’s lives worse, so a lot of effort will be put into trying to catch those issues early, and manage the situation when one isn’t. With the advent of AI many projects have seen an exponential increase in the number of security issues they’re dealing with.
Or, they could bite the bullet and move to something like rust which keeps the performance benefits, but removes the ability to even make the mistakes in the first place.
- Comment on Any good tools for learning blind typing? 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, just type a lot and try to get it done quickly. I never did anything specifically to try and learn, it just happened naturally following that for me.
I’ve heard people have a lot of success with various typing games, there’s a few on steam now if that’s your jam. Glyphica and The Typing of the Dead are the ones that immediately jump to mind

Letterboxd is pretty good, though it got bought by private equity a few years ago and they’re now trying to flog it off to Netflix or Paramount

I think you’ve got the power dynamic wrong here
If OP is having to contact loads of estate agents, it’s probably because they live somewhere with in-demand property.
That means those estate agents are going to have loads of potential people to sell to
Someone who wants to do something differently than everyone else is going to get a lower priority over someone who just does everything they are asked without question.
The estate agent doesn’t really lose anything by doing this, OP risks reducing their chances at getting a place, ostensibly one they need to live in at some point soon.

I have something similar with my phone plan
My current plan includes unlimited everything and global roaming across basically anywhere I’ve ever visited (only had to get a separate ESIM once)
I’m regularly getting offers from them to switch to a plan with limits and more restricted roaming for only an extra 25% more a month…!

…erm
£12,898 according to SteamDB at today’s prices
In my defense I’ve had my account for 20 years and had humble bundle monthly/choice for like a third of that time, so the real number is hopefully not quite that

Oh right, I think I basically only remember seeing that size in the UK in those cup dispensers on the side of those office water coolers, which now I think of it are something I’m also seeing less of these days.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
How big are they? The ones I have in mind are usually either 500ml or a UK pint (568ml)
I thought the solo cups were American pint size (473ml)

I hope you don’t go around actually saying that to overweight people who are working hard on improving themselves, you might as well be saying:
“What are you even bothering for? You’ve fucked it. Game over. Damage done.”
And for a percentage of those people, that’s going to be the line that does make them give up on improving themselves.
