It was an example of a use case familiar to many here. Some people use Github for more than just git.

Yes. And the sites that gives me a poorly translated text (which may or may not be translated by ai) with no means to switch to English is an immediate back-button.
Usually, and especially technical articles, poor/unreadable translations are identifiable within a few words. If the text seems like it could be interesting, I spend more time searching for the in-english button then I spent reading the text.
I guess that’s your answer. People have different interests and as such there’s a virtually unlimited number of culture combinations that people can be into. And people can have white spots in places that are surprising to others, there’s only so much time.
I often book a double for myself (often for the same price or €10 more) for a bigger bed.
No one has ever said ”please” to me in release instructions. Not that I miss it, I would find it weird.
If your ”whatever” target instead was 50k, is the argument that going from 100k to 200k would be 400%?
It’s called ’salary’. Unless this type of thing is common in your company, it sounds weird.
Maybe float the idea to your boss that you would be willing to do something like that, if dep B starts expressing a need for it.
There are many things that different people places different value on. The things I don’t place value on aren’t inherently worthless.

If anything, a group booking a meeting in the ten minutes in between increases meeting room usage, since the next meeting can now start at :00.
Personally, I would care (much) more about making a good thing over doing something many people likes.

I doubt it beats aluminium in cost, so it would need to significantly beat carbon in performance to make it worthwhile.
Following laws is not exactly of the highest priority.
They voted for the leopards to eat other people’s faces, not their’s.
Do you consider the tariffs to be a (tax) burden on US citizens?
* The US has repeatedly threatened military invasion of a country (Denmark) near mine.
* The US has basically given Russia the green light to invade the rest of EU when ready.
* Mentioned elsewhere in this thread: The many reports of travellers being detained for weeks.
* The US has recently started an economic war on the entire world, except Russia.
Why would I want to visit?

Most things on the list are geographic (in some sense) so for those it kind of makes sense that they are country based. There are some that spans multiple countries, the largest of which that I’m aware of is Struve Geodetic Arc stretching from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
But I agree that some cultural evolutions are quite far removed from the physical space in which they happened.
> I reside in Las Vegas but also spend a lot of time in Hawaii, Budapest, and elsewhere. I’m a minimalist nomad.
No matter how minimalist one is, traveling is difficult with no money.
Yes, every time. The clarity for the reader is more important than the time I save by leaving out '12'.
Yep, once upon a time I was a reasonably fast player. All my best times (PB around 80 seconds on the large board) were done without flagging mines.
The issues goes beyond authorization. I’ve had Github randomly once in a blue use my personal email address as the default when merging a work PR. If anyone asks, I advice against mixing personal and professional stuff in the same Github account (or anywhere).
