Thank you for taking the time to write this. As a millenial from the Balkans I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the similarities of our experiences. If you ever start a blog, I would be very much interested in a retro gaming perspective from China - we don't get enough non-western human perspectives like this in Europe, and love how similar gamers are throughout the world, which could be a wonderful unifying factor in this uncertain world.

Stubb knows Trump would never increase help for Ukraine. He also knows that the US has in the last few weeks burned through an ungodly amount of military stock that would have been useful to Ukraine. Even if Trump does a 180-degree on Ukraine, those interceptors are now gone.

This is more about providing EU with an explicit transactional reason (that Trump admin might understand) for refusing to get involved in the Iran debacle the US and Israel have gotten themselves into.

Optimum recently did a video on this. After 3000 hours his OLED got very faint burn-in of static UI elements. So it really depends on your use case.

If you'll use it to game for a couple of hours a day after work, it's probably gonna be 5 carefree years enjoying the wonderful OLED contrasts before you even start noticing burn-in.

If you (like me) need your monitors to stay on for the entire workday (and then some) - you probably won't be comfortable with the idea of starting to get noticeable burn-in after only a year of use.

Anyway, that's pretty much a dealbreaker for me and I'll probably be getting a MiniLED monitor instead. (Switch&Click recently had a video about this.)

I also like to buy stuff that will last ages, there are still monitors I bought in 2012 happily serving some of my family members. Buying something that will expire even if cared after seems... wasteful?

For what it's worth, judging just from your stance about listening to kids: if you ever decided to have kids, I'm quite sure you'd make a better parent than most people who have kids nowadays.

This. There is so much Mozilla and EU can offer each other.

since she’s a girl what she studies/does professionally isn’t important as she should just do what she loves since “she can just find a good husband to take care of her”.

Anyone saying this is wrong, but a parent saying this about their own daughter is deeply disturbing to me on so many levels. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Seems like a deeper issue - there's not just your daughter with a problem, there is also her father. Maybe to try couples' counseling with your husband first?
