Yes

Peggy being short for Margaret always confused me growing up so when I learned about how that happened I was genuinely fascinated.

Blow it up

It’s definitely something I’ve tried to get into the habit of doing since I think it’s healthy to be able to, but it is definitely challenging at times.

To be fair they also put “Public American figure gets shot” which is pretty much a guarentee

If there’s ice in the cup it’s often made of like silicon (I think) which the thought of just makes me really uncomfortable for some reason.

Depends on what we’re qualifying as a name, because I could say “Penis” and I think that would land pretty high on the list, relatively speaking.

If the opportunity presents itself, then maybe.

This is pretty interesting I didn’t know milk and cookies was a strictly American tradition.

We used to sometimes leave out “reindeer food”, which I think was just trail mix, candies, and sometimes sprinkles. We never made it at home though, it was something that would get made or handed out to kids at Christmas parties.

Honestly I never even thought about the lying aspect, I grew to dislike the concept since it’s teaching kids that an old man is spying on them all the time.

Oops

My mother does make a damn good hot chocolate

Do you think the reindeer will start feeding on the Arctic penguins

To be honest I’m not super comfortable with it either. It’s something I grew up with but in hindsight it doesn’t really make any sense to me.

Some of the things I see labeled fat free or low-fat just blow my mind because sometimes it’s a product that generally mostly if not entirely fat. Like what is in it then? Olestra?

I’m currently a college student studying software engineering, so by no means am I a professional (yet at least, lol). Nevertheless, I’ll try to give what input I can.

Afaik and based on my own experiences, windows does not come with a pre-installed C compiler. (Win 11 Home at least) Also, I just honestly wouldn’t recommend C anyways especially if it’s for a non-technical crowd. It’s great once you get the hang of it, don’t get me wrong, but it’s definitely not beginner friendly.

As for a “best choice” it’s of course up to preference, what you’re already familiar with, and what kind of programs you and your class plan on writing. If you want to use a language that can directly translate into a working environment, Python is a very beginner friendly option. If you want something slightly less forgiving, I think Java provides a good balance between having a lot of useful built in functions/methods and having some of the more “strict” (for lack of a better term) rules about syntax (semicolons, brackets, static variables) that you’ll find in other languages. If you’re just looking to teach programming concepts on a surface/conceptual level then honestly something like code.org or scratch is a great option (and it’s where I got my start growing up lol)

As for setting up an environment, again, everyone has their own idea of the absolute best setup, and it’s also probably going to differ at least somewhat depending on what operating system you’re using. For my personal use I’ve mostly been using VSCode just because it’s pretty easy to set up. Definitely worth mentioning though that VSCode comes with plenty of Microsoft Telemetry built in by default so if you want an alternative without that I recommend Code OSS (vscode built directly from source) or VSCodium (vscode but with MS Telemetry disabled and a different default extension marketplace)

The intro to computer science class I took (and am currently an aid for) at university (we used C) did all of their demonstrations using CS50.dev, which is an online environment maintained by Harvard. For the Object Oriented Programming course I took (Java) we used Eclipse.

Again, I’m still a student, so take everything here with a grain of salt. And if anyone sees anything they think deserves clarification/correction please let me know. I’m still learning lol.

Avocado is one of those things I really want to like because it’s pretty good for you but I just don’t know if I can get past the texture

I’ve been looking at this photo for like 10 years and even though I know for a fact that it’s blue and black I only ever see white and gold

Calling it now next month she’s gonna shoot herself or get some crazy incurable disease or just have a heart attack
