I spent a couple of weeks trying to get used to vim and in the end I just figured that whatever performance boost I'm supposed to get by not having a UI, I lose by having to learn vim.

People who use it need to be on some kind of government watch list.

I'm building a new gaming PC and it's going to be a Linux build and if it doesn't work the way you guys keep insisting it will, I swear to God.

My last experience with Linux was with Ubuntu about 10 years ago and I can't say it was a particularly great experience I'm hoping that in the last decade it's improved its user experience.

Nothing wrong with typescript

Oh yeah I'm definitely going to use that. He's a marketing genius.

Yeah I wonder who could possibly be responsible for that... Tis a mystery

Clearly the solution is to spread more conspiracy theories. People are obviously leaving due to the lack of conspiracy theories.

They famously taught it on Reddit. So it's not surprising that it just comes up with nonsense.

You would have thought that they would use a more stable data set. Although it does mean it's very good at explaining the plots of movies badly.

I'm pretty sure this internet thing is going to turn out to be a fad.

It isn't about who knows who the Elon Musk is it's about who cares who Elon Musk is.

Why should I care who some random CEO is? If you can answer that question you will impress me because CEOs don't have a lot to do with what the company does, they have a lot to do with how the company is perceived. Think about Tesla is that for whatever reason they decided to be a 100% perception company and a 0% results company. Presumably because their results are unimpressive.

Most people don't research the CEO of a car company before buying a car. Who is the CEO of ford no idea he could be a complete lunatic as far as I'm aware, I don't know because his personal attitude isn't relevant to my car buying decisions.

It's ridiculous to expect people to not buy a Tesla simply because it's CEOs in the moron most CEOs are. It's practically part of the job description.

For the same reason people need SUVs, for moving large amounts of stuff around. In my case I would just throw the bike in the back rather than having to faff around laying all the seats flat and then having to put down the tarpaulin so they don't get dirty.

I could get a van but then I've got a stupid van with all its limited visibility. A pickup truck would actually solve the problem if it weren't for the fact that all the manufacturers are American and seem to think that they need to rival the size and weight of a tank.

Realistically though what are they going to do about it? They probably can't sell the vehicle because of the now stigma attached to it and if they don't sell it they probably can't afford a new car.
