You still don't need to turn the AC up to the point where some people start freezing.

IMHO, it's not the slightest bit unreasonable to just expect everybody in the office to be able to deal with any temperature between 20C (68F) and 24C (75F) without complaining.

then they blast personal space heaters in their offices while the AC is on.

Okay, that's more than just mildly irritating. That's massively irritating.

Carrying a long-sleeved shirt with you in case it gets a bit chilly is not unreasonable.

If it's 21 C / 70 F outside, just leave all A/C and heating off. You don't need them.

That's idiotic.

They don’t harm the plant

I don't buy this. I just caught them going through the roots of a plant with severe root damage visible. Granted, this was in combination with overwatering, but still. There are also plenty of voices in the Internet saying that, if those larvae run out of other organic material in the soil, they will start eating plant roots.

Yes, that's probably part of it.

Fungus gnats are a common problem for me whereever I have potted plants, but so far, they haven't managed to kill one yet. So far, I have been keeping them at bay with a combination of yellow sticky traps and, in extreme cases, an application of SF nematodes.

Okay, but which ones? The same you would use for fungus gnats?

Years ago, we used to use Etherpad for that. Don't know if that's still a thing.

About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don't even understand how this verdict took so long.

This is x86 assembler. (Actually, looking at the register names, it's probably x86_64. On old school x86, they were named something like al, ah (8 bit), ax (16 bit), or eax (32 bit).) Back in the old days, when you pressed a key on the keyboard, the keyboard controller would generate a hardware interrupt, which, unless masked, would immediately make the CPU jump to a registered interrupt handler, interrupting whatever else it was doing at the point. That interrupt handler would then usually save all registers on the stack, communicate with the keyboard controller to figure out what exactly happened, react to that, restore the old registers again and then jump back to where the CPU was before.

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

Does nobody here find it a bit insane that 11 dollars is seen as an acceptable price for a sandwich these days?

The Scrooge McDuck avatar lighting a cigar with a dollar note makes me think this was either satire to begin with, or the original poster has lost any and all contact with reality.

Honestly, why would you host a service like that under the Afghani TLD, knowing fully well what kind of country Afghanistan is these days?

"Shut down by the Taliban", sure, because you handed them the switch to shut down for no good reason.

I keep repeating this every time scalping comes up: The best way to turn a scalper into a bag holder is to not buy what they're peddling.

The way I, as another European, understand this, he's flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

Congrats, your girlfriend is imaginary.

"They're a private company" (with a state-sponsored monopoly on an essential good).

I don't know how anybody is surprised by this. Who do you think would buy a privatized municipal water supplier, other than people trying to squeeze as much money as possible from a population with no recourse and no say in the matter?

Non-murder solution:

Place and hold the apples precisely on top of one another. (Make sure your fingers are not in the way.) From one side of the apple tower, go horizontally exactly two thirds of the way to the other side. At that position, cut vertically through both apples from top to bottom. You now have two pieces that are two thirds of an apple each, and two pieces that are one third each. The kid you like best will receive the end slices without the apple core in it.

More realistically, disregard the stupid premise and make as many cuts as you need.
