Yes, there were some protests around that. I'm talking about the time leading up to that; it was as if you couldn't criticize USA because we all had to "stick together in a time of crisis" (this was more or less verbatim what our politicians said here in Sweden).

(I do agree about the Zelensky treatment, though. Fuck Vance and his cohort all the way to hell and back.)

Of course they are.

The thing with Bush was that a large number of people here in EU despised him and was sick of the US's continual involvement in international affairs. There were protests when he visited, and a big movement opposed him wherever he went. That lasted until 9/11, at which point US became the big victim, and all critics went silent.

Det är sant, de är väldigt fina. På ett sätt lite synd att man inte har behov för dem längre, men Swish osv. är ju så jäkla mycket smidigare.

Also Swedish, and I haven't seen cash in years. I don't even know what our current banknotes look like.

Yep, my next phone will probably be a Jolla. Got a lot of life left in this one though.

Well, I have read the book. I just really dislike physical, goofy humor. I like my comedy dark and sarcastic.

I doubt Super Mario was more childish..

I wouldn't say that pointers and memory allocation is a good thing to start with. I teach programming to students with no prior experience, and sometimes it's hard to even get them to grasp basic programming in Python. At least in the beginning. You have to start slow.

I'm also a Swedish programming teacher, but I always tell my students to use English variable names. Irrational perhaps, but it just feels safer to avoid åäö. Even more so in file names, where it can make an actual difference if you move the file between different platforms. It's just safer to not form that habit to begin with.

I have read the book, it was much more focused on the science.

Agree. Super dark and serious situation, but Ryan Gosling is just goofing around.

What do you mean? Goofy slapsticks back to back for several hours. I didn't expect a silly comedy.
