I know, I was making a joke

Because Queue<T> is typically read "queue of T"

"You're a Queue of T"? I don't get it

I first thought this was a bad idea by Paypal but you opened my eyes

Also Conquest of Paradise for me! I had the tune randomly pop up in my head for well over a decade, probably close to two, without having any idea what it was. Every few years I tried finding out what it was, but to no avail. Online melody searches weren't that good, and when I hummed the melody to people or played it on the piano, people either had no clue or, at best, were like "that sounds familiar but I have no idea what it is". I even toyed with the idea that I had come up with the melody myself, though I did find it unlikely.

I can't describe the happiness I felt when I finally discovered the actual song when I once again tried finding it, this time by humming into Google's music search thing

I was never a fan of Calibri but the new font looks way too Arial-like for my taste.

And they didn't even hit the guy they believed to be shooting at them. Don't get me wrong, it's good that he was not injured for nothing. But with all that blasting, they didn't even hit their target.

Why did the North Vietnamese fight against the United States? Surely they could not have won?

Why did the Afghani fight against the Soviet Union? There's no way they could win against a superpower, right?

Why did the US fight against Japan after Pear Harbor? It just meant that more people got killed, both American and Japanese.

Why did the Soviet Union fight against Nazi Germany? It literally was just killing more people, both Soviet and German.

What Russians are doing might or might not be genocide in the strictest sense. But it definitely is cultural genocide, since their goal is to wipe out the Ukrainian identity, language and culture. Russianization is what Russia has always done to other peoples they have subjugated over the centuries.

Pihole and uBlock Origin have different purposes. Pihole blocks ad domains network-wide. uBlock Origin can remove specific elements from specific webpages with surgical precision regardless of the domain the content is served from, so it is a much more precise wide-spectrum content blocker.

In other words, uBlock Origin can block basically everything, but only works in your browser. Pihole blocks fewer things and less precisely but works for all your devices.

Or they have too much work
