Not sure if you are making fun of me, or of them. What happened was I had seven lines of code. One of the middle lines refused to align with the rest.
Yes, I did, also, go into "raw text edit mode".

Certainly not.
What I meant was that if more number of people complain to them on their Forum, then they perhaps will act faster to resolve it early.

At least it survived longer than I thought it would!

What is the solution?
I get peer = baron, but I don't get the rest.

Phil Mac - Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz[^]
Last week I found this "Swing & Bass" compilation album on Bandcamp.
The page says they're "taking the sounds of the 1920s to 60s and remixing them with a modern mashup twist."
I can appreciate the oldies, but I love the modern!
In this song they're remixing My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style by Dream Warriors, which uses the theme from Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones, which you may know from Austin Powers, with drum n bass!
The result is making me very happy, just like the rest of the album 
I loved the Swing & Bass Vol. 1 album as well and I'm already looking forward to a Vol. 3

drum and bass is modern? I didn't know that was still a thing, ever since like 2005.

A newer sub genre of D'n'B?
Maybe the brand new, never before heard, Swing 'n' Bass!?
|
|
|
|
|
A few of those from Vol 2 are really catchy, but I found some to feel a bit too busy. Bang Bang Boogie is one of my favorites from that album.

I hear you 
Although I love the "busy sound" myself

Verbing Nouns[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I might give that a read.

In Italian too, and as far as I can tell it happens in most language.
It helps that in many languages grammar makes it easy to discern between the noun and its use as a verb, adjective or adverb.

In Norwegian, a lot of verbs have the same root as a noun, so it might look as if the noun has been verbed. But those are "predefined" noun/verb pairs; there are lots of nouns that do not have a verb buddy. You cannot verb any arbitrary noun that way.
"Verb" is a good example, you cannot verb "verb" in Norwegian. If you try to verb "scissors" ("saks" in Norwegian), you get a valid verb ("å sakse"), but with a very specific meaning that is not to use a pair of scissors, but when a ski jumper fails to hold his skis in parallel, so one tips up, one down - looking like a pair of scissors. Maybe the term was originally formed by verbing, but today it is a "predefined" term.
There are slang terms made by verbing (and some cases of verbs being nouned), but those are explicitly slang terms, not official language. Maybe in twenty years a few of them will be accepted as "predefined" terms.

I verb nouns all the time, works great in Dutch too 
In fact, I'd say it's even better in Dutch.
For example, a verb (as a noun) is "werkwoord", but "to verb" translates to something (non-existing) like "verwerkwoorden" and I love that
|
|
|
|

I turn nouns into adjectives quite often, like I'll tell my husband "the food is foody" to indicate that the food I just cooked is ready to eat.
I'm not sure how well it works for normal people, but we understand each other.

That works well too! The code is code-y, the butterfly is butterfly-y, etc.
Back in University I went to watch a friend's band, and her boyfriend was in the band and he was talking to the audience and wanted to announce the next song.
"Are we all having fun!? Alright, we're going to play our next song so get ready for some epic... Ehhh... Epic!" 
Or in Dutch "epische epiek!" (the epic is epic).
Never forgot that and still love it

It can be used jokingly if the verb form exists, but with a completely different meaning. In this covid age with home offices: If you have a webcam, you are recommended to pant before joining an online meeting. (Anlogous to "you are recommended to dress".)
Or you could tell that you were caring to work today (not bussing). In spoken language, you could tell that you were meating for supper (that one won't work in written form). And then the classical ambiguous one: Behind every paradox lies a Cretan.
