The screen is html. Find the div with id ibm5150.videoMDA in chrome/firefox devtools and edit the width. Aspect ratio is kept.

So would you have rather got results with only 'storename' and not 'return policy', or no results at all, or what's the problem here?

If there was a result containing the whole search string it would (I believe) have been the first one.

Is it not always wrong to cause someone harm?

edit: If he would have poisoned the food and the thief died, would that be ok?

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if he did purposely contaminate the food in order to get back at the thief, instead of just talking to him about it, the talk with HR seems justified.

Well, to me it seems plausible that the writer is not telling the whole truth. They noticed food being stolen from the fridge and he purposely put extremely hot spice in the food to harm the perpetrator.

But how do you prove that. And even if you prove it, would it hold in court since the food was stolen?

How does this work? Can I try to enter a code unlimited amount of times, and then once I stop it adds all the failed attempts up? Great brute force defense.

Shouldn't the time limit incrementally increase. Wrong answer, try again. Wrong answer, try again. Wrong answer, you can try again in 1 minute..? Was the toddler left with the phone for 20 years?

This is great, but you're missing out on spoken English.

I think one of the biggest obstacles in speaking is overcoming the fear of saying something wrong, or not being understood. At least that was the case for me. Once you get over that fear and get a more "I don't give a crap" attitude towards if what you're saying is correct, and instead just say it, you've come a long way and it will help you improve.

Simple version of what I'm trying to convey:

Try to not be afraid to say something wrong, just speak your mind. Don't worry about grammar when you speak. It will come naturally after a while.

Personally I learnt most my spoken English through co-operative computer games and speaking to other players over ventrilo / mumble or in-game voice comms. The fear of saying something wrong or being misunderstood was minimized in this online setting, sitting safely at home but still communicating with real people.

His point is if the person could have reached some kind of support they might never have ended up in such a desperate situation.

When I get really mistreated / fooled and can't reach any kind of human support and none of the "robotic" support options work - it's incredibly frustrating. Not to the point where I'd shoot someone, but I've definitely smashed my fist on a table once or twice.

If we instead go onto crime;

If you look at violent crime we have 6 times more robberies, 4 times more murders and 18 times more gun crime in the USA compare to China (per capita)

Does it mean you're going to be seeing people getting shot everywhere all the time? No.

Does it mean general safety in the US is much worse? Yes.

Things are much worse in USA in a variety of meaningful respects. Does that mean it's impossible to live there? Not at all. Well, if you can stand having Trump as the president of the country you live in.
