What policy or program would you pay more taxes to support?
  • Increased support for Ukraine.

    It's at the moment more important than solving any domestic issues.

    (I most likely don't live in your country, only argue for your favored domestic issues if you really have nothing better to do).

  • vi or emacs?
  • Vim, I've not given emacs a fair try yet. At work I've got to use what I've got to use and neither is an option. At home the last thing I want to do is write more code.

    When I do have a choice I'm not doing much more complicated things than editing a config file and anything more advanced than cat would do I guess.

  • What have you changed your mind about?
  • That the most important thing is technical know-how.

    You'll have to deal with a lot of difficult people in life. There is a huge difference if you get them to put your task on top of their todo list or on there bottom of the pile on their desk.

  • How does your daily commute to work look like?
  • Winter (north Scandinavia): 10 minutes by car. Options are walking 1 hour or bus+walking ~40 minutes depending on how close you like to cut it on the bus stop.

    Summer: option of bike 15 minutes. Not an option during winter. It's okay above -15 C, flat ground, low traffic and well plowed streets. None of those are true here.

  • do public companies always have to do what makes the shareholders the most money or risk being sued?
  • No. They can be sued for the opposite too. Generally it's about misleading the shareholders. You can argue that it's about money in the end because who will buy planes that fall out of the sky?

    NEW YORK, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), has been sued by shareholders who said the company prioritized profit over safety and misled them about its commitment to making safe aircraft, prior to the Jan. 5 mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaskan Airlines 737 MAX 9.

    You die and go to Heaven and Hitler is there. In fact, everyone who ever lived and died is there. Are you offended?
  • I'd be surprised I'd be allowed in there in the first place, but I guess if Hitler got there the bar to entry is fairly low.

    I'd have some questions to ask but I am guessing the complaint queue is very long considering all victims meeting their murderers in heaven and whatnot so I'll just go have a harp lesson or something.

  • How do I get property buyers to stop harassing me?
  • I consider it my civic duty to waste as much of their time as possible. It can also serve as an outlet for creativity and have a bit of fun. Think of it as a reverse prank call.

    I think my favorite was when they called on my work phone and I tried to set them up as a customer, with my most pleasant voice asking about their billing address and quoting our consulting fees and that I'd be happy to answer any question they wanted as soon as they were set up as a customer. They told me to fuck off and hung up 15 minutes later.

  • zodiac sign
  • Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.

    I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.

  • What are your tips to wake up quickly ?
  • I barely qualify as simian first hour of waking up. I've got an answer, an answer that neither you nor I will like.

    Go to bed an hour earlier.

    I know it works for me, I never do anyway. Now if you excuse me I'll ooze over to the kitchen counter and guzzle coffee.
