It's interesting because this also happens in other languages. In Dutch we only use couple (koppel) for people in a relationship.

If you are talking about other things we use "pair" if you have two. But over time people also started using pair wrong, so someone saying "ik heb een paar knikkers" I have a pair of marbles, can still mean he has 5 marbles.

In practice people usually just say I have two marbles when they mean exactly 2.

To add to this, jealous is for example when you are afraid your partner will dump you for someone else.

If this would also mean I can drive at the max allowed speed and can't get fines I would actually like this. I don't really feel the need for speed anyway, the maximum allowed speed usually is fine for me. But some countries like France switch a lot between 130 and 110, so most of my speeding tickets are because I didn't see the 110 sign immediately and there is a speed camera.

If this solution let's you go a max speed with zero tickets I would use it.

You are right but that does work both ways.

Whatever fucked things Hamas has done, is not a blank cheque for Israel to murder innocent people.

While at the same time

Do you have any credible sources where Hamas made that promise? Because from what have read they never wanted to agree to releasing them

That is true, but my smart TV and smart scale both got something like 5 years of updates. Who buys a new scale every 5 years? My parents still have a scale from the 90s that works fine.

I'm fairly sure Microsoft is actively trying to screw Firefox. Outlook has always sucked in Firefox, teams is a shit show. When you use a useragent switcher somehow a lot of features seem to work magically in Firefox (which tells me MS is doing this on purpose).

For Outlook (exchange) I use Thunderbird with a paid plug-in (to make the 2FA stuff work). It's pretty cheap and totally worth it for me at least.

Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.

Yes we need more long time energy storage. It helps to balance the energy grid and it helps for days when not enough energy is produced. Batteries aren't really the answer, but pumping water uphill might be.

A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don't have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it's always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.

From a pure functional perspective I think it's the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.
