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.

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.

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.

I just found out GUMBIES 7 isn't backwards compatible with GUMBIES 1.

And yes I know GUMBIES 1 was released in 2013, but still what the actual fuck!

That's a valid point, but it's not like the Jews never lived there, go far back enough and it's a very different situation. That is what makes this entire conflict so difficult.

That is why I think it's good to just look at current events.

The 2 things are not the same

Russia a country invaded Ukraine a country.

Israel a country was attacked by Hamas a terrorist group and in response invaded Palestine a country.

When you pay a company and they provide you with a domain (you choose) and give you a webserver, some disk space, a database etc.

I pay about 30 euros a year for 5 websites. They are all very basic (either some php stuff I made, or WordPress). These websites have very few visitors so the hosting specs don't really matter. All these websites have a specific domain name, some disk space, and a database.

For this price they offer PHP and MySQL. So it's not a dedicated server where I'm root and can Install other stuff.

I'm Dutch and use a local Dutch company, I also wanted a .nl tld

I don't know, maybe it's because PHP used to be the default web based language? I just buy hosting, I don't sell it...

I'm not the one you asked, but what I like isn't really about PHP itself, but the fact that I can get dirt cheap hosting with PHP and MySQL. Every time I want to create a small "app" that makes some manual task easier it's very useful to create something I can access from the internet.

Python is really useful for stuff like that too, but (in my experience) not as easy and cheap to use as an web app.

For example I go to dinner with some friends every month and we always forget who's turn it is to choose and book a restaurant. So I just made this PHP page that shows the current and next 2 months with a name. So we always use that to see who's turn it is.
