> As a free-market worshipper Free market in a location owned by the government where the government gets to control who the vendors are and what the customers are allowed to bring in? Thats not a free market to begin with.

I use an iPhone. 1. I’m always going to have a case on my phone, so I don’t care about the camera bump. 2. You’re correct here. I mostly don’t care, but I want to have different hidden folders, which iOS doesn’t natively have. Otherwise I d

None of those sources detail anything that I would describe as “two large bombs”. And I can’t find a 72 hour power outage in Seattle in 2020. Can you help me out? mrangle also later said [0] they live “in a major city between Boston and DC”

Those other commenters are talking about named cities which the rest of us are able to verify what they say based on simple internet searches. You are describing an unnamed war-torn hellscape that matches no city in America. It’s like somet

I find the Codex CLI to be the worst of the CLI tools I’ve used (including, but not limited to, Claude Code, Gemini, Aider). There’s something about it that makes it clunky. Haven’t tried Cursor CLI yet though.

Maybe. That could be true. But doesn’t happen the same with other tools. I’ll give the same exact prompt to all of LLMs I have access to and look at the responses for the best one. Grok is consistently the worst. So if it’s garbage in, ga
