Generally someone comes out with something other than keep trying from a scientific experiment though, right? Like an hypothesis and a test and stuff like that
My house is twice the size of my last apartment and my utility bill is half. apartments just generally don't have as good insulation or as efficient HVAC at least where I live.
The person also discounts the impact of horrible neighbors, stomping and barking at all hours of the day. That can happen in houses but they are not right next to you
I mean my heat is included in my rent, it doesn't change no matter how much I use it. I pay 650/mo in rent including heat and water and I have it like 75F in the winter...
There's a time and a place for assembly language programming. Of course, I knew someone who would say there's a time and a place for machine language programming (improved it by reprogramming a device by flipping the 17 switches on the front panel)
In the last 40 years, China has been building while the US has been wasting money and lives fighting wars. Can we learn to really put America first for once?
Yea, I really don't see how much longer the US economy can hold on. The baby boomers are working overtime to rob multiple future generations of opportunity to feed their profits now.
The formerly "fiscal conservatives" that I know are working overtime explaining how the debt isn't a bad thing and we can just move numbers.

Sounds like they're just catching up to what Democrats always used to say whenever a Democrat was in the White House and some Republican would complain about the national debt. "A government isn't a household, debt doesn't work the same way, you don't get it."
"In addition to missing lowercase, ASCII 1963 and the Model 33 lacked { } curly braces, | vertical bar, ` backtick, and ~ tilde, and they had ↑ up arrow instead of ^ caret and ← left arrow instead of _ underscore."
explains why Smalltalk used the up arrow and left arrow for fairly reasonable punctuation for return and assignment.
Up arrow was replaced much later by caret and left arrow was sadly replaced by :=
Some BCPL dialects/implementations used underscore instead of := for assignment. MUD 1 was written in such a dialect, see e.g. [0]; also, note that it allowed the use of "." in identifiers.
Left arrow was replaced by _, which (in Squeak anyway) is actually an assignment operator, with := as an alias.
Some computers going into the 80s, for example the Commodore 8-bit line starting with the PET and going through the Commodore 128, still had ↑ and ← for ^ and _.
That would not make me hate writing less.
