If COVID-19 and your president continue as they are in NY, then it's going to have a pretty small population soon ... :GloomyPrognosisSmiley:

Since when am I an US-citizen?

So you don't have a president where you live?

The Scandinavian countries and GB still have kings, and a few more, mostly outside the Western countries.

But I must admit: I had to look up the name of your president. And honestly, the name didn't ring that many bells. I hope that you do not have to look it up, though.

In Spain there are both, president and king.
In Germany only president.

But, if you see the "subthread":
- I asked if New York is for him a little city
- He answered that if it virus and my president continue like that it will
- I think he confused me with the OP, so I make the joke of giving coffee and asking "since when am I a US-Citizen?" because I am not and he knows it (or I thought he knew), and nothing that my president (spanish or german) does will have that big effect in the end size of new york.

I just wanted to point out that you both made the same mistake:
He assumed you were American
You assumed that he by "president" assumed the US president.

I am quite sure that he did, but he didn't say so, and you were jut as preconcieved about the nationality of the president as he was about the nationality of Nelek.

The central point of the topic was New York, so yes. I assumed we were still speaking about it and hence the US-President.

If it wasn't like that, then my non native speaker status has played with me because I didn't understand it correctly Smile | :)

There was a US "spokesperson" on BBC Breakfast News on Friday looking really quite proud as he boasted "The US leads the world in Covid-19 infections".

Let's hope not. Sigh | :sigh:

We've got so few where I am that we're having to import them.

I'm not kidding. There are helicopters flying past every (subjective) five minutes, ferrying patients into our green and pleasant, previously-uninfected land.

Intentionally taking infected people to uninfected areas?

I'm sick of Internet browsers that close themselves when you close all tabs.

Do word processors do this? PDF readers? Any other apps with tabbed interfaces?

And wouldn't it be fun if VS shut down, just because you closed a project?

Leave the window open, you pillocks!

Indeed. All applications should open to an empty environment and then let you open things or not.

Keeping the window open is not an optional "feature" in all of them.

What? Don't close all tabs? Don't use a browser? Don't use a computer? Don't breathe?

None of the above solves the problem. If you don't understand what the problem is, don't pretend to have the solution.

Bingo. You have solved your first world problem.

Leave the last tab open. Or press Ctrl+T for a new tab and close the existing.

Or heck, write your own browser. Laugh | :laugh:

As I said, that does not solve the problem.

Didn't you learn to read the question properly, before starting to write an answer?
