the teacher resigned rather than face removal

This gets awkward if you don’t immediately recognize ‘face’ as the verb here.

In Germany we (meaning other people, not me) usually organize counter-demonstrations.

I like to jump out of bed and put weight on the leg.

That is if my blanket doesn’t trip me.

Well if it’s something like a turn radius, they can always claim that they just guessed right.

Honestly, I find it great that Linus still manages the Kernel after all this time.

For those who don’t know:

Speaking at a software conference in 2009, Tony Hoare hyperbolically apologized for “inventing” the null reference:[26] [27]

I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965. At that time, I was designing the first comprehensive type system for references in an object oriented language (ALGOL W). My goal was to ensure that all use of references should be absolutely safe, with checking performed automatically by the compiler. But I couldn’t resist the temptation to put in a null reference, simply because it was so easy to implement. This has led to innumerable errors, vulnerabilities, and system crashes, which have probably caused a billion dollars of pain and damage in the last forty years.

Spinners must die. I don’t care if I don’t understand what exactly you’re doing, Windows, (I’d be surprised if you knew), but show me something, anything about the steps you’re currently doing, so I can guess if you’re doing something at all.
