Just because she’s leading in a disappointing manner doesn’t mean she’s not leading, to be fair.

TIL
Forbes revised its estimate of Holmes’s net worth to zero
Ouch.
Fortune named her in its feature article on “The World’s 19 Most Disappointing Leaders”.
Ouch again. Maybe consistent fashion isn’t the path to popularity?

Sure, but I don’t think that’s impacted by acknowledging their clothing decisions.

I don’t know about “best,” as that probably varies per individual, but I always recommend reading at:
www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/
and if you want to experiment in private, there are lots of live editors; locally I recommend Obsidian. If you don’t want to install anything, there are also in-browser options such as:
(I have not used this and so cannot comment on its quality, but at a glance it looks good)

My pleasure!

No worries, sorry for being unclear.
IMHO he’s pretty good to watch. “LGR” stands for “lazy game reviews,” which I guess is how he started, but these days he mainly talks about retro hardware with an occasional game review (such as the one above). He gained popularity recently after being impacted by a weather event that unfortunately damaged a lot of rare hardware he was storing.
Hope you like him!

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you of plagiarism or anything; I just found the comparison apt.

I know someone who says “true” for “yes” and “false” for no.
“Hey, you wanna go get some lunch?” “True.”
Once he started doing that, it took a conversation or two before I realized what he was doing.

Depending which way you lean, either “Computer Numerical Control” (very precise cutting of material) or “Consensual NonConsent” (rough sex, basically - there are better words for it but not without triggering things).

My wife recently told me about some post she saw online. In this post, a very innocent man discussed his new CNC setup, then was quite surprised by the dichotomous responses he received.

You know, I’ve never actually used emacs, but it was a surprise to learn that all my favorite bash shortcuts came from it.

That makes so much sense. I was trying to think of a hacking thing, like 2600. Roman numerals make at least as much sense. Thanks for helping!

Honestly, not sure I get it.

I sent basically this screenshot to a coworker and he responded “can’t wait for GTA vim, which will enable easier movement and several QOL changes.”
