I don't think that's true at all. Your middle class percentage is tiny compared to most of Europe, and while you also earn a bit more, that money goes to a much stronger social safety net in most of Europe, too (at least in our more successful countries).
I would also wager that middle class workers are more comfortable here, because of guaranteed 5-7 weeks holiday, 37 hour work weeks (for the vast majority), guaranteed parental leave, and just generally a very unionized job market.

The free rental services are usually from big department stores like Ikea or storage warehouses, and it's not always free, but like 5-20$.
Anyway, if you have a truck you most likely also have somewhere to park a trailer. So having a normal car and using the trailer a few times per year would still greatly outweigh the costs and emissions, as I see it.
Our cars are also at least 2-3x more expensive here, depending on its emissions, so that matters I guess.

Or you use a trailer. Everyone knows someone with a trailer, or, at least where I live, you can rent one for a few hours for free.

When I first started out with Linux, I went full ricemode with Arch. For a while I tried running without X, using tmux heavily and browsing with lynx
, only starting a specific X server for games.
You can definitely do it, but especially web browsing is not really feasible. There are tons of curses
-like applications like mutt
and irssi
that work really well, but alas, I ended up going back to i3
.
Still heavily riced, though, using Vim hotkeys wherever possible. For browsing, qutebrowser is fucking sweet!

My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.
If the word isn't considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.

I'm glad people are finally taking their heads out of the ground to realize how big of a security issue 2G is.
My country already dropped 3G, but 2G is still used a lot for IoT stuff, modems, alarms, etc., so it won't be leaving their air any time soon. But it has no place in a smarthone.
It pops up on English speaking clients. This is not a bilingual community, despite what the sidebar claims. Even the rules are in French.. Proof: the French hate English and nobody speaks it

I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It's easy to configure permissions and connections, too.
Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).
I use Postgres btw

Apart from a few glitches here and there, the game feels really complete. The story is really well made and the writing is top tier. If you come for the RPG elements of talking to every NPC and finding a lot of fun dialogue, you'll love it.
If you want something without combat, although not fantasy, Disco Elysium has become my favorite CRPG ever.

The combat system is classic but with tactical Larian improvements from their other games.
I like it, but you can definitely get burned out from really long combat sessions. You can always lower the difficulty and blast your way through it, though.

So what is your point exactly? That you shouldn't charge for software you develop to access a free network? There are plenty of free solutions for you.

Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren't available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.
That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.
If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box...

Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo.. Why won't they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn't interface with anything else?

A 1 Gbps up/down in Denmark is around 40-50€, and low speeds like 100/100 is more like 25-35€.
Same for Norway and Sweden. Everything is unlimited of course.

One is a rate of data, the other is an amount.
Mbps means megabits per second.
MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s.
There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8)

I like doing coke sometimes, but it can be a bothersome process to pour from a baggie, cut it up, and needing to roll some paper or have a straw. Especially if you're out. It's there a quicker or more convenient method? I've heard of tiny bottles with 1 hit doses, nasal sprays, even pressurized solutions. What do you recommend? This could of course extend to other substances as well.

I never played any Souls games before Elden Ring, and while it was a bit frustrating at first, I came to enjoy the exploration quite a lot.
It's not as hard as people make it up to be, as you can mostly just overlevel a bit if you hit a wall. Some of the boss fights suck, though. They feel unfair at times and I felt a bit lucky to beat some of them when they just randomly don't do the hard-to-avoid combos.
The exploration is what makes the game for me. The universe and atmosphere is spot on. Trying out different weapons and builds is a lot of fun once you get to around lvl 50.

All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.
The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself

This is a problem for any web application. There are many solutions, none are perfect.
On some sites (like 4chan) you're required to solve a captcha every single time you post, unless you pay a yearly fee not to.
To avoid it, you would need people actively monitoring, banning, and setting up bot detection patterns.
Then again, there are cheap services online where real people are hired to create human accounts and spam you anyway, so..
