Thunderbird is horrendously slow with email as well. I have no idea what it’s doing, but it’s slow.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I used Thunderbird for quite a few years for my three email accounts. However I switched to Googlemail a few months back and find it is just as good, if not better.

I'm in! I'm totally in. In like... well, I'm in!
It's been many years since the last AAA "western" MMO has been released.
Looking forward. Totally in the hype.
Preps for launch are running!
My launch-prep plan (worth a look^^): Infographic: Game Release Prep : newworldgame[^]
Anyone else waiting for release?

Only three years, surely?[^]

I don't see RDR as a classical MMO - it has an online mode, yes, but that's true for almost all games these days.

what do you think of that?
is it worth it updating my custom utility libraries to support that?! quite a bit of code to review... :/
EDIT trying now to add nullable reference to my utility library...
but I got some.. existential crisis.. not sure how my custom IList<T> should implement IList
more code there...

I learned years ago to return null instead of crapping out when I couldn't return an object.
Then there's LINQ with FirstOrNull(), etc.
"Nullable references" sounds like solution looking for a problem. Or another pointless "pattern".
Like having to deal with Null value checkboxes when all you ever use is dual-state.
If you have to think about it, you probably don't need it; just something else that uses primitives one is already familiar with; and not exactly labor-saving.

I am starting to think you might be right...
Particularly as I realize it seems impossible to implement both IList and IList<T> and predictably support both nullable reference type and non nullable reference type...

I'm in the market for a new monitor. My current home monitor is a 20" flat panel I bought several years ago. I lost my right eye in a fall last year, and anything I can do to reduce eye fatigue is A Good Thing.
I'm thinking a 24" or 27" would be easier to read, and probably 4K resolution.
My questions:
Q1: Does a curved monitor help with our typical work style (lots of text), or is this just a gimmick? I have an intuitive feeling it might help me, since I turn my head a lot more now when working. A curved screen would seem to also reduce depth of focus changes somewhat as I turn.
Q2: Any general suggestions on manufacturers or models who are good, who to avoid?
Thanks for your help.

I just recently replaced a 20" flat screen that I had been using for almost 20 years with two 24" Samsung CF390 screens. If I'd have known how awesome two monitors were, I'd have done it decades ago.
Whether a curved or larger monitor would work for your situation, only you will know that, regardless of what folks here say.

I stopped in at Best Buy to take a look. The curved monitors looked nice, but it was hard to tell how they would be to work with. They were playing demo video, and the sales drone didn't want to connect them to an actual PC so I could see what text looked like.

I have dual 27" Samsung monitors (S27R35X) for work and dual 27" Asus gaming monitors (VG278) for personal. I really like them both.
I don't know many people who have bought the curved panels.
I know your monitor needs to be 4K compatible to work properly with 4K. I know that 4K does not render correctly on my monitors, and most streaming services will kick me to HD instead (automatically).
I recommend, Samsung, Asus, and Dell monitors. I think HP makes some nice ones too.
