Kinda makes sense tho. Either they earn money on you from ads or they make money from you because of subscription. Or you're like me and you still block the ads even though YouTube does everything it can to stop you.
I wouldn't really mind watching some ads before a video, but I don't wanna get constantly interrupted or have the ads track me everywhere. I tend to watch the in-video ads from creators tho, because most people I follow have relevant ads, funny ads, or ar the very least deserve some revenue.

Some countries have honey bee colonies that turn agressive. But normal honey bees, the ones in the picture, are usually homies that won’t sting unless seriously agitated. And unlike those fucking wasps they don’t repeatedly put themselves in a position to be agitated. As a kid I used to be obsessed with insects. I’ve been stung by bees and wasps multiple times. Every time a bee stung me it was my fault, I tried to catch them so I could see them better, often thinking it was one of those hover flies pretending to be a bee. Wasps however have repeatedly stung me because they’re assholes. And way more often they’ve almost stung me because they’re assholes. Bumblebees are extremely chill, they usually just let me do whatever, although I also tended to leave then alone.

Uhhh tip: learn to relax before your body decides to teach you. I didn't and I'm almost a year into a burn-out. Not knowing how to relax is not funny or quirky, it's a one-way road to severely fucking you brain up.

For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It's not about how fast you're typing but what you're typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.
Bur bad managers can't accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc

Because an average user would do that. Hell, I use Linux full-time and I didn’t know that PopOS in a huge transition. A user wants a gaming-focused distro an picks one. It should just work if we want all those Windows users to transition. He can’t do it right either, there will always be someone complaining about his choice. People here seem to think they’re an average user, when they’re really way above average in terms of technical knowledge. Even if Linus should maybe know better, it’s better that he does some dumb stuff because that’s what many people would do.

Cook wash. Or more accurately boil wash, but the word for cook and boil is the same

Might as well be a Dutch dialect at this point haha. It's funny how the platt/plat dialects are kinda similar.

The th sound is honestly a bit difficult. Three will end up sounding like either tree or free, but not three. Usually I just pronounce it as a slightly weird T. I have quite a Dutch accent anyways and that just something y’all will have to deal with ;p
