In the Netherlands, over 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Besides, why wouldn't you want people to walk away when they're clearly not into each other anymore?
I'd rather be happy alone than unhappy together.
Maybe being happy together is even better, but there's no need to get married for that.
I'd say the impediment is about at big when you're just living together, you have shared stuff, like maybe the house, the car, maybe children or a dog, you'd still have to tell all your relatives, get things sorted out with the government (you can't just live together and then don't)...
You can share a life without getting married.

etc.
Plus a lot of guests are only invited because it's kind of a social obligation.
I'd much rather have a party with some close friends where I'm also not the center of attention.
All in all, I do not want to get married.

As I said above, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I won't stop until you're happily divorced
Mine is an unpopular opinion though, especially among women*.
Pair that with my wish not to have children ever** and you know why I'm still single...
* When the right woman comes along and she wants to get married I'd probably do it, but always prenup.
** This one's not up for debate.

Seems to go hand in hand with the high rates of divorce rate and infidelity.

Most businesses want to adopt new tech to help their post-pandemic recoveries, says Gartner, but 64% say they can't find the talent to do so. And nothing at all to do with the new technology being poorly thought out?

There are vastly different meanings between the terms 'adopt' and 'pay for' in the business world. Hmmm...

Quote: You've heard of startups building computer chips, delivery drones and social networks. One called Colossal has a very different goal: bringing the woolly mammoth back from extinction by 2027 using CRISPR, a revolutionary gene editing technology.

What is the real reason why they are doing all of this? That is what I want to know. I don't think it is really to bring back the wooly mammoth.
sounds very conspiracy theorist(ish), I know, but that's how I roll. QUESTION EVERYTHING, THEN QUESTION IT AGAIN.

We are happy to release .NET 6 Release Candidate 1. It is the first of two “go live” release candidate releases that are supported in production. You know the drill, but now with production availability!

The Microsoft Exchange attack wave revealed the risks, but patching isn't always straightforward. I was expecting the number to be much higher than that
So... hurrah?

We have a few new features in this release, the majority of which were from community contributors. In case you're one of the one people using .NET Core that still wants to use WCF
OK, OK, n > 1, but I'm still guessing the people with those requirements could have a team meeting in a bathroom stall and still have room for people using it.

I know someone who know someone who heard a team that was considering using it. possibly.
