Because there are words that have less violent associations that can still capture the relationship sought to be described.

[Stop using Nazi, war]

Those aren’t used for computing though. And, yeah, I think if we did we probably should. Like if terms related to genocide were used for stopping a lot of processes at once that would be pretty weird to me.

[death]

Kill is used to refer to stopping processes and that’s probably where the line is in my opinion. It feels very different to me to say “kill a process” versus “genocide a group of processes”

This is just an anecdote and not how I began doing FP, but still fun. I was in college. For whatever reason I felt like I had to use methods (Java). So when the teacher had us do a FizzBuzz as a benchmark early in the semester (just to see where everyone was) I thought good programming used a lot of methods so I did something like String fizz() { return "3"; } String buzz() { return "5"; } and one of the professors asked me “Do you have a background in functional programming?” and I had never heard that before, so I thought, yeah, of course my programs function! So I said yes I did have a background in functional programming lol.

Alright. I’m giving you this advice because I’ve done it on a camping trip but it was only a single night. I usually go once or twice a day. I just didn’t want to deal with digging a hole and it was only a single night in my case. I just took some anti diarrhea medicine to constipate myself lol. I don’t remember how much, maybe even less than a whole dose.

Please read the labels and follow the instructions, it might not necessarily be safe over three days. Also imagine getting stopped up so bad that you have to go to the doctor about it then having to explain this. Just be careful. You’re not saying why you refuse to go so only you can judge if it is worth it.

That said, I know someone who claims to only poop once a week and they claim their doctor said that was “within normal parameters” so who knows. But I have also heard stories of people having to go to the doctor and get an enema because they’re so constipated.

No, it’s not cheating, but also please don’t blindly trust it. Random people on the internet can be wrong too but people can at least correct them if they are. Stuff ChatGPT outputs is fresh for your eyes only.

Edit: typo

You need to tip places where you sit down to eat with waiters, yes. ~20% of the subtotal before tax. Don’t be intimidated by those little tablets asking for a tip for places where there is no table service, there is usually a no tip button. Just relax and don’t hit a button right away. They make it a little smaller.

My friend recommended the brand saying he never had a problem with it and it was as fast as the day he got it. My wife got one because her Pixel 3 died (apparently a relatively common thing for that model). Then after my wife got one my friend started complaining about his phone and my wife didn’t like her new phone. Then he got a pixel lol. Then I got one. It’s a nice phone. The Pixel 3 was my wife’s favorite before it died. So 2 years later we ditched the one plus for a new Pixel for her.

It seems like one plus used to be a good brand and maybe my friend had some loyalty still or his phone coincidentally started to slow down right after he recommended it lol
