Not if you count Taylor Swift.

People who have never had the pleasure of experiencing vim might not realize that the colon is a part of the command and will start recording a macro instead.

I could do a few small talks before I'm socially exhausted, so maybe if i pull the lever about halfway through?

I'm guessing he realized within those six years that the political party which lets him run his companies as though USA is a third world country have a very different set of values which he has to follow to influence the elections.

I applied for a dev position with a salary range with the higher end fitting my requirements. I checked off basically all of the boxes in the job announcement as I had worked as a consultant for that very company in that same position for several years prior. After interviewing rounds and a programming task, the interviewers were very happy with me and were eager to get me started. However, their offer was in the lower ~20% of the salary range. When I asked for the reason, I was told that they had to cut back costs, so they couldn't afford to pay me more.

So basically, the salary range was just bait to receive applications.

I think that changing it to something gramatically correct would make it into a compliment. "You are a genius" would make it positively charged. However, I would expect "you genius" to be something that, for instance, someone would exclaim when someone cuts their hand when trying to open an avocado. Meanwhile I think it would be strange to exclaim "you genius" when someone solves a partial differential equation. But it probably does rely on the tone.

"You [...]" makes pretty much anything an insult.

A positive word implies sarcasm. "You genius". "You hero".

A random noun drags out the negative aspect of the noun or implies lack of a brain. "You french fry". "You paper bag".

Adding a random adjective just strengthens the statement. "You british bathroom sink". "You beautiful parking lot".

Of couse it depends on delivery, and using random words makes some strange insults, but I rarely see "you [...]" turn into a positive compliment.

Unfortunately, yes.

The town I grew up in had several public apple trees. I have fond memories of climbing the trees with my friends to get apples.

Maintenance is a thing, though. If not properly maintained, the apples will often grow too densely, yielding only small and sour apples. I would never consider the apples in my home town to be filling food - at best it would be a small snack. It would require a lot of labour to maintain a tree to the point where it would feed people in need.
