Because 7 ate 9? And by that I mean, in comparison to 7, 8 was so bad that they drug 9 out back and shot it in the head.
The reality of it is that there’s a ridiculous amount of code out there that checks for 9 in the name to detect if the OS is windows 95 or 98. So, a version 9 would have been a shit show.
Then there is also the whole German nein issue… Pasting “WINDOWS NO!” everywhere isn’t going to make the marketing droids happy.

The right one looks like an Italian version of you?

Have you ever considered glitter as a starting point?

Even better is that the guy is 42 with no kids. I get that we all technically have ancestry that goes back to the first life on the planet, but this guy suddenly happens to have verified family lineage that goes back farther than any other human on the entire planet… And he’s the last one.
I pray that he consciously chose not to have kids… I know how soul destroying it can be to want to have kids but not be able to. But this guy… He suddenly, because someone needed a warm body to fill out their numbers to a nice round number, is directly confronted by a family lineage 9000 years old. And he’s the last. What an absolute mind fuck.

Something about all the “evil boss” movies of the 80s and 90s really stuck with that generation. It’s like they removedd out the lowest of lows from the movie and said “you know what as long as I’m better than that I’m a good boss and people should be happy to work for me”.

They must be comparing a wired track ball mouse to wireless mice.
Having used trackball mice quite a lot before optical mice became common place, I can see a good wired trackball mouse being more responsive than an optical or even wireless laser mouse, but you would have to buy a truly craptastic wired laser mouse to find a trackball mouse better. The only way I could see it even being a possibility is if your desktop is made of glossy plastic or something else that could confuse the laser.

Link to duplicate is either broken or to a wildly different question.

Because that is what he’s programmed, or paid to do.

Maybe some future school shooter wannabe will notice that they barely even report on school shootings anymore, and Uvalde even reelected the piece of shit sheriff that let all those kids die. Maybe they will see this shooter being treated like some kind of hero, and decide to hunt Billionaires or CEOs instead.
After enough of those, the world will be drastically improved, or the surviving billionaires will finally bring about some real gun control legislation.

Dental insurance kept denying him.

The deregulation of the 80s and 90s really screwed this country over.

Well, I am a god damn mess as a person. So I’m like pre-alpha. I guess that makes me a proof of concept, or maybe even a thought exercise.

When you click a button it’s actually two events, a button down and a button up. That is how you are able to grab something and move it, by clicking and holding and then later releasing.

Premium clicks include both the button down and button up events. Non-premium clicks are button down only.
