Where are the theorems and the proofs? Can the usual theorems of the "year of linear algebra" be proved using these arrows?

>however, according to Reddit, there’s a number of people who want to be left alone and can be irritated if you interrupted their workout to talk.

My suggestion would be not to read social advice on public websites on the internet, especially on Reddit, because per public internet, everything is not okay/forbidden, everyone should mind their own business, choose the safest and the most inoffensive action in every possible social situation. Public places such as reddit are full of terminally online socially awkward people who are very unrepresentative of people in real life. Also, there are incentives to recommend the safest course possible because then you won't get downvoted by haters. I don't even say to take advice there with a grain of salt. I say it's probably better not to read such stuff because your brain might subconciously internalize that people think like this even though actully, in real physical world, it works differently.

The compile time is 50 times faster, not the runtime.

I heard about this game many many times due to software developers showcasing it as an example of a good libre videogame. However, I don't know a single person who played it and I have never seen anyone recommending it for its gameplay.

>The real reason Valve are being the "good guys" at the moment

Ok, but this “at the moment” has lasted at least since 2011. Basically my whole adult life Valve gas been a pretty great company delivering value and not being annoying.

So, can I make it that when I click a URL in another program, Firefox would ask me which profile to use?

No, it's vice versa. If two wind instruments play unison slightly out of tune from each other, it will be very noticeable. If the bass is slightly out of tune or mistakenly plays a different note a semitone up or down, it's easy to not notice it.

I disagree with (1) and (3). I think for a novice bending low notes is more difficult. For me the easiest note to bend was hole 6 on a C harmonica. Also, I don't think wood vs plastic matters for how easy bending is.

When I was learning bending, I like the app "Bending Trainer" available for both Android and iOS, with a blue on black icon
