It's the ratio that counts the most. You seem to be implying TwiX is getting an increasingly bad ratio. That would imply, to me, an increasingly limited lifespan for encouraging quality.

That's exactly why we complain about the Rs in strawberry. We can get funny-stupid human interpretations all day long. What we can't get is cold facts, and isn't that what was promised by AI (at least, before ChatGPT was rele

It was the need to do increasingly more post-setup configuration with each iteration of Windows after Win7 that finally pushed me to using Linux as my daily driver a few years ago. Especially when a few of these settings would get switched

nitpick: I think almost every single country has irreplaceable natural beauty. It is incredibly sad that the US has come to this though. Yet another example of the country self-harming in ways that will leave permanent scarring. A quote I&#

If they're walking on a pathway that's shared with bikes and other wheeled transport of speeds greater than walking, then yes.

Bike bells are useful for me most weekends to let me know there's a bike soon to overtake me while I'm skating. Headphones on folks while they're out walking is ridiculous and antisocial and if they get hit because they didn&

Climbing for Dollars is from The Running Man[0], the Arnie version from 1987 - same year as Robocop. Then in 2001 was "Series 7"[1] (which I got flashbacks of from the 2013 White Bear[2] episode of Black Mirror). [0]: https:&#x2F

You've got quite a black and white viewpoint, which is fine and is exactly how 'the law' works, hence: "the law is an ass". Many people have a bit of grey where it comes to the less obviously socially costly kind of
