Specifically, failed suicide attempts. It’s because a semicolon is used where a sentence could have ended, but keeps going.

That is incorrect (to my understanding), it’s the combination of a comma and a period. It only resembles a colon in appearance.

Fun fact: Mildly annoying fact: a surgery to remove a colon is called a colectomy. A surgery to remove part of a colon is called hemicolectomy. Come on!!! Semi- and hemi- are practically synonyms!
And I can’t quite remember or find right now what they call what remains, but I distinctly remember that it’s not called a semicolon. Medicine is so dull.

Kids, this is not the way to test things like this.

It's more logical than Linux's version numbering system:
Does the major version number (4.x vs 5.x) mean anything?
No. The major version number is incremented when the number after the dot starts looking "too big." There is literally no other reason.
Stop spreading this lie. Linux has a more graceful shutdown process than Windows ever did. It doesn't abruptly kill everything.
I think it's an excellent compromise for being a portable PC. If I'm going to university, to a study space or a lecture, a laptop is freaking fantastic.
Also all laptops universally have one killer feature that nearly no desktop PC has: a built-in UPS. If power goes out, the laptop just keeps chugging along on battery power, giving you an extra few hours of work.
It's not my workstation of choice by any means, but I wouldn't call it miserable. It's fine.

Is he still mentally fit to drive at 98? Damn that's impressive. You've got some good genes.

I highly doubt they were talking about gaming.

Generalizations like this are useless. Obviously there are exceptions. There certainly are people who retain a sharp mind into old age and even past age 100. It's not that uncommon. If he also kept his body in good shape, it's *easy* to believe he can still drive as well as anyone half his age.

So, uhh, are you good and comfortable at using the mouse with your right hand? If so you have no reason to use your left. I have a left-handed friend who has always exclusivity used his right for the mouse. Ain't no law saying your mouse hand must be your writing hand. Not to mention the benefits: it's the default setting on any system, and there are lots of great quality asymmetric mouses that only fit the right hand.
I'm not trying to change you, by all means if you like the trackpad more power to you. Just curious why you'd try to mouse with your left if you've already learned to use it with your right.
