With almost 35 years of marriage under my belt, I wholeheartedly agree. I just like stirring pot sometimes.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Reminds me of an old adage: man is the head of the household and the woman is the one that turns the head.

I can't paint, period.
When I do it's terrible. Works every time.

I can't do that, I've been doing remodeling work all my life.
In fact that's how we first started dating I helped her paint her house.

She does her share, she's a very good helper and together we're done a lot.

Painted you into a corner, did she?

I am the money handler, mechanic and all round handy man.
Wife does most of the rest.
I just can't paint worth a darn.
She also doesn't like the way I wash dishes and clothes so it evens out.

just finished my master bath and bedroom - but I just pointed, waited and wrote checks. Still have a few items hanging on, but my contractor will be back to tie them up.
Next up - 3 other bathrooms which I will have to do myself or win the lottery.

We totally gutted the house, replumbed and partial rewire. It's been two years and we're almost done.

Say what?
"But perhaps the most important benefit of ranges is that you can compose STL algorithms that operate on ranges in a style that’s reminiscent of functional programming."

(Link is from today CodeProject Daily Insider.)
Seems like that would in fact be a reason that no one should be using it then.

I thought that after javascript functional programmers, nothing will surprise me. But here it is.

The syntax is a bit gross (probably inevitable with as much baggage as the language is dealing with), but it felt reminiscent of LINQ which I do like.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

i am rather fond of ranges . i utilize them over other means . they permit a consistent and similar means of managing containers of various types in a unifying manner .

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
Oooo man ... it feels nice! Way better than my previous XBox 360 controller - it's heavy, solid, and the controls are smooth. It also doesn't have the "near digital" control of the thumb sticks, you can finesse your movement much more easily.
Mind you, for that price it should do ... £139 / $175 is a lot for a controller.
But the old one was getting tired, and didn't return to centre too reliably which was messing me up in games, so I took internet advice and went for the "best in class". You play games to enjoy yourself, not get frustrated because your guy keeps moving when you told him to stop.
Only worry is the extra paddles underneath - they mirror the "ABXY" keys, and "Y" in GTA is get in / out of vehicle, and that isn't one you want to pull by accident when flying ... as I found when I first picked it up today ...

Congrats! Out of curiosity what type of games you are using it for? I also got one of these, but apart from some simulations like "Star Wars Squadrons" it's gathering dust in the drawer. Because nothing can beat mouse + keyboard even for PS ported games.

GTA V - flying planes and riding motorcycles on a keyboard and mouse is just a painful experience! You really need analog inputs which They don't give you.
I switch to KB&M for on foot bits as it's way more accurate.

Never mind the controller, I still do that accidentally with the keyboard every once in a while, to this day.
Unrelated: About a week ago I finally passed $2B in cash after playing online since...2018? I've been forcing myself to try to reach that milestone when it finally seemed like something achievable. Suddenly my interest in the game has dropped.
