There is a version of Macbeth from 1979 with Ian McKellen and Judy Dench. It’s not really a movie but a recording from the Royal Shakespeare Company. It uses minimal sets and just the actors standing in a circle. My wife is a huge Shakespeare fan, but I had no real interest in watching it outside of making her happy. But it was amazing. The acting was absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen anything else like it.
I got my son a noise maker that has a built in battery for this same reason. It doesn’t seamlessly switch to battery I’m sure there is one that does.
Also, is worth knowing when not to optimise. Code you can read is code you can maintain, and some optimisations are not as readable.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. So many people want to equate the number of lines as a sign of how well it’s programmed. But all they really do is chain a bunch of stuff together that makes it harder to debug.

There can be only one…well that unless we can milk more money from the franchise
In the same vein I have odd shaped feet. They are very narrow at the heel but get really wide at the ball of my foot. My sister used to tell me I had tennis racket feet. Never found shoes that would fit. Regular would be too tight on my toes but wide would be too loose on my heels.
That was until I found Altra. They actually make shoes that fit my foot shape. Consequently, they stopped me from getting shin splints too.
I would think the environment factors into that a lot too. I’ve had 30 mile rides kick my ass more than 80 mile rides due to things like hills and wind. But put me on a stationary bike and I could probably go 150+ miles in a day.
Just like there is no Blues Brothers sequel and Terminator ended after T2.
I remember the last time, I almost bought a map. Back in 2006 I had just moved to one of the largest metropolitan areas in the US. I went to Walmart to get one of those local atlas books, and saw it was like $75. They had Garmins on sale for around $100. Bought a Garmin and haven’t purchased a non-decorative map since.
I’m only commenting this because you said you’re stuck on Win11 and not defending it, but…
Using winget and Chocolately will make your app installation much better.
Also, to reload your path variable in a PowerShell prompt you can run the following:
$env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")
Again, your gripes are all legitimate, but these might help ease your pain.
I still remember the huge marketing push IBM put into it in the mid-90s. Who would have thought it wouldn’t take off when they never actually showed what it looked like. Just a bunch of people describing it.
Like the saying goes:
Everything I know about the Kardashians I learned against my will.
I believe there was someone on Shark Tank trying to get funding for an app to let people do that. If I remember correctly he did not get funded.
I would also assume there are some legal obligations with that. Like having to have lifeguards or other safety measures a public pool is required, that a house would not have.
Plus people are gross. I’m sure this would only increase the amount of cleaning I would need to do.
Smart man. My wife convinced me to get it swearing she would take care of it. Apparently her idea of taking care of it was to hire someone for $350 a month. And that price didn’t include the chemicals.
It’s not really that it needs to be fixed up. The chemicals and supplies are outrageously overpriced. Then there always seems to be some major issue every year or two. I’ve lived in the house for 7 years and have had to replace the control board and the pump. I had to replace $2,500 worth of piping after Texas cut my power for 3 days during freezing temperatures. Then last summer it was so hot the ground shifted and it broke two return lines that had to be repaired through the concrete deck. And I know by next year it will be due for resurfacing.
A pool. It came with the house, but damn is it expensive to maintain. I say I’ve never gotten full use out of it because I spend way more time and energy maintaining it, than I do using it.
I lost 7.5 lbs in one night due to that stuff. I went to the doctor because I kept having diarrhea. Turns out I was so constipated the only thing that could make its way out was liquid. I drank a bottle of that stuff and 45 minutes later…well…you know that one scene from Dumb and Dumber? Yeah, that was me for like an hour and half straight.
My cat is the very definition of a cat, totally aloof, fiercely independent, kind of an asshole. She only acknowledges my presence when she wants to eat. She loved to bait the dogs and get them in trouble for chasing her. No guests in our house have ever seen her. The only times she even allows me to pet her is when she has a mat she wants me to get out.
The only exception is with my daughter. She absolutely loves her. As long as no one else is around she will love all over her. This picture was from about 2 years ago when my daughter got a nasty cold, and she watched over her the entire time. She even turned around and yelled at me shortly after taking this picture because my daughter started having a small coughing fit.
