I'm also pretty certain that the stock would absolutely tank if he left.

He's a fucking idiot, but the current valuation has zero basis in reality outside of his personality-cult. If that's gone, all they are is a struggling mid-sized car company.

It's the objective case, i.e. everything that isn't nominative, so this usage would be correct. We don't have a real distinction between accusative and dative in modern english.

That being said, I'm a descriptivist who is strongly of the opinion that 'who' is always correct and 'whom' is archaic.

I lived a few years in the UK and the plugs really annoyed me compared to F.

They were really bulky but also uni-directional. So there was a lot less flexibility in tight spaces (which with the size of London flats...there were a lot of!)

Must have been Aldi Nord

I think some of it comes down to what your brain is used to.

I usually use mouse/keyboard, that kind of constant movement from holding the stick in a certain position is kind of foreign to me. Whereas having the right track pad basically emulating a trackpall mouse instantly felt really natural. In this case it's like a mouse in that your movement directly translates to camera movement.

You may just be more used to analog sticks

I loooove my steam controller for first-person games. The right track pad for camera controls just clicks with me. I guess it's because I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, so I'm used to mouse-like aiming rather than the analog-style stick aiming.

I never really used the left track pad though...

That being said, I was let down by the steam deck trackpads. Maybe I just have big hands, but I could never use the right track pad the same way I do with the steam controller.

Also a general comment: AA/AAA is the best if you get some rechargable batteries. No waiting for charging when something is out of juice! Plus you can just get a new set of batteries if they ever die instead of a whole new controller

The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.

Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me

Some of this is probably because we're not using windows, so nearly everyone is using the browser version.

In my company in nearly every meeting someone has issues with either video, audio, or screensharing not working. We even had a couple instances (including for myself) where it showed the camera as being off, but other people could see you....

For comparison, as much as I dislike google, I also regularly use Meet and I can't even remember ever having issues.

I was thinking North Macedonia or something, but then I remembered that the post referenced pounds

It's been probably 25 years since I read it and I can still remember what an impression it made.

Big recommend!
