I once made the mistake of saying something against Luigi and had the comments jump on me. This is as much of an echo chamber as anywhere else.

Yea, dongle is just objectively wrong.

Do you have any invites left? I’d love one if you do.

rational discourse on IRC

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair all the “dancing around and jumping through hoops” is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.

I’m more curious how a hot water main works? Is there just millions of miles of heated pipes underground? And I thought a gas boiler was inefficient.

Stacking draw cards is in the rules book, at least for uno no mercy. It says you could only stack equal to or higher.

As an Italian American I would have so much fun jarring all those tomatoes into sauce.

Just waiting a couple more weeks for my step-dad to harvest all his tomatoes so the fun can begin.

I live in a decidedly middle class area and people driving golf carts around is super common. Some communities even have their own golf cart paths to the local grocery stores, and those stores have dedicated gold cart parking.

It’s very common at least in the US south east.

You definitely could use AI to code, the catch is you need to know how to code first.

I use AI to write code for mundane tasks all the time. I also review and integrate the code myself.

I suspect you don’t have kids? Most schools require a laptop (usually Chromebooks). What do you do then other than parental controls?

I second the multi-monitior comment. I absolutely love my fold and I think that’s a great analogy.

It’s hard to say it’s worth the money though. I personally think it is, but I wouldn’t recommend most people spend $1500+ on a phone in general unless they have a really specific use case.

I have a Pixel 9 Fold and I absolutely love it. I don’t think I can ever go back to a regular phone.

That said, the fingernail thing isn’t a myth. I have a “scratch” (more like an indent) where I tried to clean something off the screen with my fingernail. It’s not bad and just like the fold, it’s only visible in certain lights, so it doesn’t bother me but you definitely have to be more careful with the inner screen than the outer. Though I suspect it’s the built in screen protector, not the actual screen.

Some interesting facts about excel I learned the hard way.

1. It only supports about a million or so rows
2. It completely screws up numbers if the column is a number and the number is over 15 digits long.

Not really related to what you said, but I’m still sore about the bad data import that caused me days of work to clean up.

Took a bit to make Gemini understand who I was talking about but this was it’s first result

Sharp wit, keenest eye, Tech truths told with soothing voice, Brownlee’s insights reign.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but just to play devil’s advocate the advertisers too could have been losing money and be happy it was brought to light?

I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).

There was something about the i4 I just didn’t like. I think it was how it felt kind of like an m3 to me. In the sense that if all you care about is going fast, then it’s a great car, but it’s not the luxury of the 5 or 7 series, which is what I think of when I think of BMW.

I’m too old for a car like that, and don’t drive enough to justify the i5 price, so I went economical (in comparison at least) with the mach-e. It’s fun to drive, has enough gitty-up-and-go for me, and it’s comfortable.

Though I got reeeeeeally close to saying fuck it and getting the i5.

Because it’s not that easy. Batteries are big, people want 250+ miles on a charge and battery tech isn’t there for standard sedans and smaller.

I just went through this and ended up with the mach-e (which I’m very happy with) but it still weighs about as much as my minivan (almost 5000lbs).

I just got the Ford Mach-e last weekend and I’m super happy with it.
