I'm not depressed in the slightest myself, but I just don't see why we try to keep all people alive, all the time, at all cost. Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit, but at some point life ends, and I'm fine with that.

If I have had a nice length of life (lets say something like 70 years), and am no longer happy, healthy or capable of taking care of myself, don't save me next time I need saving (in order to live longer).

The computer does exactly what you tell it to do, but never what you mean.

To build it, yes. It never mentions it is for running on Windows.

This only records the whole screen. You might want to try OBS Studio?

Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism.

Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

I'm not American, and I am genuinely curious, why does the FBI investigate this?

I can imagine the US government wanting an investigation in cases like this, and I can understand Beirut wanting (or maybe just allowing) different countries to investigate, but isn't foreign investigations a job of the CIA (or, at least, not the FBI)?

I ended up washing everything on 40 degrees and throwing everything in the dryer. Works just fine.

Interesting. Here in the Netherlans only old houses in cities still have these things. What we call "stoep" nowadays is simply the pavement/sidewalk.

Simply run your app in a VM, that should degrade performance, customizable as well.

So watching Netflix and YouTube gets more expensive? No, thanks. I'm fine with European net-neutrality and pay for bandwidth.

Maybe, but a simulation is only as good as its model. If this model of boids does not have the same properties as the pandemic, the simulation is probably not good enough.
