> I also blame the Marimba ringtone on the iPhone — it became a sort of status symbol to let other people know you had an iPhone. I think this is the real reason why. I hate the marimba ringtone for that reason too lol.

Putting my "free market" hat on for a moment, the people who are risking their lives are in an advantageous situation for bargaining. To some degree, it worked too! Lots of stores and delivery services appeared to be paying more.

Eh, it'll do plenty to trigger the "You WORK FOR A LIVING and if you aren't working you should be eating shit!" people.

I thought that was intentional, to make sure that people stayed home instead of looking for extra work.

lol, out here in los angeles, they've been remodeling targets to look like walmarts - like using polished concrete floors and skinnier, cheaper looking checkout stands with flimsy conveyer belts. The most irritating thing was when they

As obnoxious as they are, no. Leaf blowers are WAAAAY worse. I mean I do agree that gas lawn mowers are noisy obnoxious smokey things that blow dust around. But a leaf blower's whole purpose in life is to blow dirt around - and at full

The lampshade iMac was my favorite Apple design ever. The only problem - at least with the first ones, was they were TERRIBLE. We bought one for my brother as a birthday gift. It had an 800mhz g4 , a 15" screen, and a 60gb (I think?) 5

The fun thing about ADC monitors was that you could hold the power button on your monitor to force-power-off the machine, as well.

I feel like the last Mac Pro was similar to the cube in spirit, but not nearly as good looking. It's still tempting to buy one of them sometimes.

Apparently I should have said that I was ridiculing the people who constantly say that. I have ridden many bart trains. Every now and then I'd smell pee - and the bart station bathrooms are biohazards for sure, but I've never seen

Eh, my favorite is the meme that San Francisco is covered in shit and homeless people. Oh yeah, and if you get on a bart train you'll get jabbed with needles and covered with poop by homeless people.

When I was growing up, my town's schools went through a phase where they were all remodeled/rebuilt. The necessity drove the school district into bankruptcy lol. Being a coastal town in California, the weather is pleasant for all

A programmer is a creative professional. But now I'm just splitting hairs lol. I get your point but I'm annoyed at the "real professionals" bit there. :)

The programmers have as much of a right to be there as anyone else does. People who owned their condos and houses weren't pushed out, they usually sold to buy something bigger. That would be practically everyone my parents knew. (Edit:

Or they could stop spying on their customers and trying to figure out how to add dark patterns to maximize "engagement" and "conversion" lol. I mean yeah, I get that if you inadvertently make the checkout button hard to

I'm trying to be careful how I type this, but the point of crumple zones isn't just to make the car stop slower, but to keep parts of the car you really don't want to crush from crushing. If you crash into a wall at 20km&#x2F

I like the distributed nature of git, the ability to make local commits, jump airgaps with bare repos, submodules, shallow clones, all kinds of silly things I suppose. I won't lie, I don't have a ton of experience with subversion,

The Microsoft stores seemed to be a "ME TOO!" thing. I doubt MS ever opened a store in a mall that didn't have an apple store (or wasn't expected to have one). Like I'm sure that's what the point was. Someone w

When I was in high school, my school district had a homeschool program where you'd meet up with a teacher once a week and they'd give you the same tests (and general course plan) that you'd do if you were in a regular school.

They're cheap! You can pretty easily get an olympus body for 2-300 bucks and a m43 lens also pretty cheap. The panasonic 25mm for example is usually around $100-150. That all sounds big until you realize an a7 body is like minimum $100
