I'd say it's kind of like room temperature. Lukewarm may be a little above room temp. The antonym would be any other temperature

It's sort of like the PC User Groups that were more or less rendered redundant by the internet. I remember going to the HAL-PC (Houston Area League of PC Users) monthly general meetings as a kid and there could easily be over a thousand people there when they'd do things like having Microsoft and Lotus come and present their latest versions of Excel/123 in a "shootout". There were great door prizes, too. The internet came and there just wasn't a need for that anymore. It's kind of a shame, though, just because it felt like a real community thing.

Knobs on a mouse UI suck

I mean, I can sing or whistle any song I can think of -surely thousands of tunes- without thinking about what I need to do with my lips. That same mechanism that connected tune in head to lips and mouth can also connect tune in head to fingers on piano with enough effort.

What about just trying the doorknob to see if it's locked. Is that illegal?

Loved me some Frac!

It is a common thing among those who grow up being praised for their intelligence. If one comes to base their self-worth on their intelligence and believe it is a static quality they were born with, struggling and/or failing could demonstrate that perhaps they weren't as smart as people gave them credit for and thus decrease their inherent self-worth. They quit things if they don't immediately excel at them or just adopt the "slacker" role and put in minimal effort, brushing off their failures as merely the result of not really caring about whatever it was they were attempting. "Eh, I could have been good at [x], but it bored me" or whatever

No read performance? Other than being solid state, that's the real advantage of SSDs, especially non-sequential ones. I typically use an SSD for the OS and applications, and then use a regular hard drive for the actual content that I work with which needs better write performance. It may take (very) slightly longer to install the applications to the SSD, but they start up faster.

Maintaining the value of commercial real estate?

My company mandated everyone back in the office but everyone still meets via Teams, even when we have offices next door to each other. Making people come is just dumb. Imagine the environmental benefits, traffic reduction and inflation hedge that would result from outlawing return-to-office mandates for jobs that can be performed remotely. Of course, that will never happen because commercial real estate would tank.

IDK, all the NBs are a bit distracting

SQL is pretty darn perfect for its purpose. As long as databases exist, SQL will exist. It is also super easy and intuitive to learn- I taught myself and it has been my bread and butter for the ~17 years since .

Played way too much Pickaxe Pete as a kid. I can still hear that sound when he goes through the doors to another level. K.C. Munchkin was pretty cool, too- even had a level editor!

"What's that? I couldn't hear you over my keyboard clacking!"
