UTF-16 is fine for the cat majority of Chinese characters. It has been standard since 2008 for C++ (at least for code that wants to be running on windows; Microsoft moved everything to w_string back then).
C# uses UTF-16 natively for strings.

It’s not
theDog.walks(), it’s 狗.走() Conjugate this you anglocentrist fuck! - Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
For sure and that’s alright. But at the same time pubs are called that because they are a public space, hence you usually don’t expect actual privacy and it’s what leads to moments of joy when things randomly fall into place. Could be creepy, could be magical. Anon gave it a try, failed his landing (asking a girl out was a bit much, he could have just offered a drink and joined in on the convo), but he shouldn’t feel so bad about it.
It sucks that he doesn’t have mates he can laugh about it with though. That’s the real tragedy to me. - Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 week ago:
For real, I can probably count on my hands the number of times I tried cold approaches like that in my life. Especially with a pack of girls. Super duper ballsy of Anon. Much respect.

How about BIOS update?
EAC games were literally unplayable on my machine without updating my BIOS.

My wife tells me constantly about her patients and this reads like a backstory for some of them no problem. So many people with so many fucked up lives…

Yeah. It’s like doctors ; they really love it when people thank God for saving a patient. Usually it’s the dumbass family but it’s really a special moment when it’s the dumbass patient themselves.

Are you joking? C64 was the bomb back in the day! My Atari and Amiga mates were enjoying colors and music and games while I had sat there on my colourless, mute PC. All I had was Flight Simulator 2 in black and white. And DrBrush for drawing in Hercules “graphics” mode.

Eh, I believe there is a certain audience who also believe Birmingham is now part of the Birmingharam Caliphate, and that’s who will believe this nonsense.

I still think the ABCDF system sounds so… childish? But presented like that I can see how it makes sense. I always thought about more absolute systems as more, eh, honest? More of an absolute value of our worth, but in truth it depends completely on our teachers, so it’s not really any “truer” than the letter system. Just a different bias.
I’m glad there are so many interesting answers in this thread :) - Comment on 1 month ago:
I’m a 46 year old French man, and thanks to my family and travels I’ve tasted a variety of mayonnaises, all across the spectrum and a lot of the industrial stuff just tastes awful. They add so many preservatives in order to make it shelf stable, it completely loses any hint of the original flavour.
You can make fresh mayo with an egg yellow, some oil, a dash of vinegar / lemon juice (something acidic, really) and some mustard. Mostly you beat it until you’ve the desired texture and that’s about it! Even just this, you’ll have people arguing endlessly about which oil, which acid, which mustard, which proportions, etc :,D
Hellmann’s isn’t completely terrible, mind you. It was the usual stuff you’d get in Ireland when I lived there, and it was okay. But there were much tastier brands available. And when I’m in France, even industrial brands, we have much better alternatives :P
I reckon Vietnam must have the same issue as we had in China : it’s too damn hot! And since real mayo is uncooked egg yellow it’s super bad to keep it at room temperature for too long. I never bought any while living there, because it wasn’t in my shops and I just adapt to whatever people eat locally, but sometimes when I ordered pizza they would have “mayo” sprinkled on top and although it was delicious, the fact it was sweet makes me think it had nothing to do with the original stuff :P

That’s not mayonnaise. Stop calling it mayonnaise.

Haha, yeah, if you actually look at how much you earn vs how much you actually work (quality of life), some trades like electrician or plumbers are so much better off than my doctor wife, it’s not even funny :/
