I think it's about megalomania. Walter White is entertaining but deplorable.

The director in question was using his profession to peddle racist ideology. I don't think you're being consistent here.

Selectrics never had any word processor-like functionality aside from the ability to erase. They were very expensive for being just amazing pieces of mechanical engineering but the daisy wheel products worked well enough and could be infuse

The iTunes functionality carried over to Apple Music is just as slow and confusing and non-portable as it ever was, now with added cloud sync that will mysteriously tell you that anything it doesn't recognize isn't available in yo

Author does say word processors "like" MacWrite, so falls short of saying it was the first at anything (and it wasn't), but WordPerfect and WordStar are interesting choices for comparison. Of the three, only MacWrite is a GUI

The Polish example only works because it's a different word, and yours only works because of implied but unwritten punctuation. Neither is pronouncing a capital letter, whatever that means. It's why people have to say things like

While the exterior was the Timberline, the interior was modeled after a different, also famous lodge, but ultimately the interior sets were their own thing of course.

It'd be super cool if English orthography were allowed to keep up with the times, but we've never been more anal about spelling than we are right now, lol.

> traditionally the nozzles and electronics and the printhead are all bundled with the cartridge Canon at least was selling individual ink tanks (by the color, no integrated head) for their BubbleJet printers way back in the 90s.

Not playing with words, I'll tell you straight up that you sound self-conscious about how you look.

It seems important to you that others understand you are strictly utilitarian, that you're not like the others that busy themselves with frivolities like jewelry and designer sneakers. You dress yourself in a way that clearly communica

You could say that being green, or appearing to be, is in fashion.

Yeah I did this for a DV cam and needed two adapters: USB C to the old DisplayPort form of Thunderbolt, and then that to Firewire. And even that wasn't complete, because I needed to adapt to the smaller Firewire port on the camera. Obv

Lol, yep, what is arguably the best monitor money can buy is also going to be good for text editing.

Manufactured in China to a specification. No anti-Chinese goods sentiment here, just agreement that provenance isn't much of an indicator of anything on its own. But I'd expect Apple above any other to have things buttoned down.

The full phrase was "IBM PC compatible" and that dates back to the 1980s. And it was specific to the PC model. The PC was a new architecture and IBM was otherwise better known for their other products at the time. PC was establish

The "sanitary" replacement is a wax, I always just knew it as sortkwik (? It's been a while), that you dip your fingers in. I'm sure it's still a thing for literal paper pushers to this day. Sanitary in quotes since

USB C isn't really at fault for the removal of the headphone jack, other than incidentally by making it reasonable for things as small as a phone to host USB devices at all.

The expectation here should be for more durable and modular construction of the device. USB C on its own is pretty damned durable.

I relate so much. I'm on some heavy hitting medication to manage it which no doubt will have their own consequences for me. Feels like there's no winning.

This doesn't make any sense. Of course social stuff like abortion and immigration first of all matter to readers, and second can amount to actual, written policy with great detail and nuance, and the consequences of such policies are c

Or just use normal handles, inside and outside, like other cars. What they've done is made things worse by any objective metric in exchange for a "huh, nifty" that wears off after a few weeks.

If this were a passage in a reading comprehension exam, I think you would be expected to read "cocaïne didn't exist" as "cocaïne in the form we think of when someone 'does cocaine' didn't exist". You
