It's much better today, but in 2010 that was 100% accurate.

That being said, using Java as a first time programming language is like a 15 year old trying to fly an airliner to get a few blocks away to pick up some after school snacks. Obviously it's way overkill. Sure you could get across town with it, but it's probably 1000x more complicated than just a simple bicycle or even walking.

Java is industrial strength for professionals. There's absolutely no consideration made for educational usage.

I'm guessing it's the lube slightly leaking out. I mean I wouldn't eat it. It's probably not going to short circuit anything and damage the board. It would be a foolish choice to fill keys with conductive lubricant.

Absolutely amazing painting.

I was super tripped up though thinking that the mizzenmast was rigged sideways until I realized it was two ships!

This study indicates it does, regular by 10% and plasma by 30%.

It's also known to reduce heavy metals like excessive iron.

The seller though usually turns around and spends all that money on a bigger place, taking out a larger mortgage with greater interest payments.

So realistically the only entity profiting from rising house prices are banks and real estate agents.

Sellers feel richer, but then turn around and pay all that money to a bank and real estate agents.

 
 

"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

A phone wallpaper from the game Celeste where the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her use her breath to float a feather in the air.

How is this game both so good and so hard?!

 

I love the way the light plays on the scene, and the workers taking a rest break under the shadow of a majestic peak. Such an epic scene!

A fun local legend of how it was built:

The people of Uri recruited the Devil for the difficult task of building the bridge. The Devil requested to receive the first thing to pass the bridge in exchange for his help. To trick the Devil, who expected to receive the soul of the first man to pass the bridge, the people of Uri sent across a dog by throwing a piece of bread, and the dog was promptly torn to pieces by the Devil. Enraged at having been tricked the Devil went to fetch a large rock to smash the bridge, but, carrying the rock back to the bridge, he came across a holy man who "scolded him" (der ihn bescholten) and forced him to drop the rock, which could still be seen on the path below Göschenen.
