If parents have pedagogic experience in teaching, understand the possible downsides and how to mitigate them, then I can understand homeschooling. Otherwise I’d recommend normal schooling.

And here in Finland this guy is all ears when he hears that Iran needs a new Ayatollah.

“Aave” is “ghost” in Finnish.

Tobacco industry boss: smoking two packs a day is not addiction.

Germany’s user count is nice.

Newer software aimed at newer Windows versions usually had a code that checked the user’s Windows version. If the version began with a 9, it was interpreted as one of the Windows 9x operating systems, for which the software was unsupported. If that was the case, the user couldn’t run the software at all.

• Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)

• The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?

“In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get RAM.”

Oh, who could have guessed???

Good that they got their differences solved and the band can be finally laid to rest with no drama whatsoever. There’s a proper closure now. It’s however sad how they lost any momentum and chance for new material because of the onstage fight in Boston. Regardless, it’s interesting to see what kind of stuff Dave Navarro & co will put out without Perry Farrell.

Watching my country’s reputation go down the drain, nothing special. Oh, I also plan to mod my Switch’s Joy-Cons with SNES-style buttons and gray triggers. The Joy-Cons are neon blue and red, so they’ll become even more colorful.
