I did not. And find mind boggling that we have the ability to virtually stop earth rotation in such a small timeframe with that little effort. I'll definitely read more about it.

Ask the countries that keep building coal and gas power plants, polluting the only planet we have.

Tidal, waves, hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass. Many options to choose from, it just takes political will.

> How does "func EatADonut() async {}" aka "eating a donut is an inherently async action" even make sense to people?

Of course it does, read it as "beware, something blocking down the road".

If you can EatADonout without blocking, please do, but want it or not that's a different implementation, one that doesn't block and the signature it's telling you so.

We're so used to sync and having hidden blocking operations. I wonder if in an alternate universe the first languages considered the blocking/async nature of operations and then some newer languages considered hiding this information into seemingly sync functions would produce similar but opposite outrage against it.

Of course. Just pointing out how OP was not aware to what extent their choice words was product of that same imperialism.

Which of the 35 American countries are you referring to? ;)

In South America, thanks to Netflix we have far more European content than before. Still less than from US but at least it's there to chose.

Who cares? This is a form of protectionism aimed to national consumers.

Learn to value the taste of not excessively sweet food and drinks. It makes me crazy that every drink and food needs to be sweetened even when their natural flavor is very good or even better (once you acquire the taste). Coffee, fruits juice, cookies and so on, most people consume super sweet versions of those.

Thanks, I had forgotten this even existed. I was looking for something like this to perform unit conversions on a website.

Edit: And without giving excessive permissions to an extension.
