I thought this would be about being s whole lot more wealthy, so I had questions ready a colleague of mine overheard from a seven year old.

"What is your estate called?"

"How many barrels of land does your family own?"

When it comes to a million euro house, I don't think you need to behave that differently from what's your norm. People from every walk of life can come into that kind of money, be it from inheritance, a good job, lucky investment or help from parents. Just pretend it's a house you can barely afford and ask questions as if you're considering buying it. Point out flaws. Or don't, you're allowed to reserve judgement.

Oh... I thought divorce rates increased when wives fell ill or when they got attacked with an ax. Which honestly feels like a good reason for divorce.

I got a mail about that from my union recently... I think they had some talks about it.

To be fair, returning the actual timezone (as defined by tz.db) is useful if you don't just want the current time since you'll be able to take DST into account. Not sure how Vienna is -8 though, it should be +1 (or 2 depending on DST).

Luckily Google Gemini told him they were perfectly safe to eat.

In some eye-opening new results, the telescope has found and confirmed the discovery of a very bright galaxy that existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang. Based on their observations, astronomers believe the galaxy is 1,600 light-years across and has a mass several hundreds of millions of times the mass of the Sun.

“All of these observations, together, tell us that JADES-GS-z14-0 is not like the types of galaxies that have been predicted by theoretical models and computer simulations to exist in the very early universe," the astronomers said. "Its discovery has profound implications for the predicted number of bright galaxies we see in the early universe."

I don't like click bait...

People did that. Stack overflow reverted the change.

Same, fizzbuzz was one of our tests. Nearly everyone messed it up. The telling part was how. We had a guy with 20 years of experience who demanded ample compensation write code that not only didn't compile, but it made little sense. A lot of people were pretty good bullshitters - then after the test they went "Yeah, well... That went bad huh?". We had a different, more difficult test that people could choose. We had one guy who did somewhat poorly on that... But asked to take the assignment home for his own sake. He was a very god hire. Not because he worked overtime or anything but because he cared.
