Well, it sounds nice. But I hope this is heartfelt, and not "as the pandemic has slowed, I don't want to be responsible for next year's numbers."

They are still surprisingly common in the US, also. Mostly Government and other regulated things. I remember having to fax things to Ally bank as recently as last year. After rejecting it twice for being 'too dark', they let me

I'll add to that - I never found nicotine that addictive. Some grogginess, a little on edge, gone before you know it. What's hard to quit are the motor memories/habits. Get in the car, reach for your ... wait no we quit tha

Excellent points, but at what time would all of that been written in English and American measurements for American consumers, with ingredients available? I only guessed 1960s, but it very well could have been decades later.

Ah. That's something I didn't mention that I should have. Survivorship Bias. So, you can still find recipes for a good shepherd's pie today, so I wasn't thinking of such things in my comment.

I'm basing it on personal experience, with grandparents and further back recipes. I don't think something like avocados even existed here, or any type of spicy pepper. I'm a spicehead, and nothing has any at all. Or much say

I thought for sure this was meant for a joke and would DNS error. I'm beyond excited it actually exists...thanks!

While I respect the idea of seeing what we used to make, and how, from my experience old recipes belong as a relic. Many old recipes use wildly imprecise measuresments, ingredients or tools that no longer even exist, and frankly...are bland

This comment confused me at first, but I think you're being complimentary? If so, I think you'd want to use 'first rate' to mean something best in class. First grade is well, first grade(childish), at least in US Englis

That's what you'd think, but not what's happening at the moment. Rents and house prices have skyrocketed across the vast majority of the country, and nothing is sitting empty. People are paying the higher prices. What'

My immediate first thought is...are emoji loving folks worth keeping? Not meant as an insult. But if your retention rate is up 50% with 18 year olds, and down 25% with 30+ers, is that good? My hangup is that it's a bank. As another s

I don't see how anyone can take Chime seriously. I have a habit of checking out most new free banking apps, looking for the best deals, UI, security, etc. Chime immediately started sending my phone notifications with tons of emojis in

Same. I don't really use social media, but see the appeal of some. FB for staying in touch with family and friends. Insta for sharing photos. Heck even TikTok looks like a lot of fun. Twitter just seems like narcissistic self impor

Not following. Linux reports each core as 100%. So an 8 core machine maxes at 800%. So seeing 200 load doesn't indicate to me that it's throttled, but that it's using the equivalent of two full cores. Or did I misunderstand

Ethics can drive capitalism, though, via demand. They say millennials in general tend to support businesses with a cause. And we've all seen the rise of say, cage free or free range eggs, despite how misleading the terms are. That is

Yes I forgot that point. Their CS is second to none. Walmart online has a nice return system similar to AMZ - actually even better as they will send a pickup to your house for most things. But if you need a human, good luck getting anythi

Ah, I see. My expectation I guess is charging let's just say 1 dollar per order. Or figuring out avg items per order and adding so many cents to each item. With that extra dollar per order, drivers can be paid decently and at a safe

by axaxs 5y ago
I don't get Amazon's play here. Just charge me more money for items, and pay your people well. I'd rather have a happy safe driver than a miserable one at the end of his or her rope, all so I could save a dollar. Reminds me

Most politeness is feigned anyways, it still sounds nicer. In your examples, if all 3 were said in the same, monotonous tone, 2 is much nicer to hear, especially compared to just 'give me a pen', which is how most people order foo

Fair rewording, but the point remains. 5Ghz is faster than 2.4Ghz. That a person can't take advantage of it because of their ISP is irrelevant to that statement. If the statement were, 'hey, if you want faster internet, use 5Ghz

by axaxs 5y ago
That's true, or in cases of in-network m2m communication of course. 5Ghz is still faster, you just can't utilize it if your internet speed is slow. It's like saying a Ferrari isn't faster than an old VW Beetle because

This site is awesome, thanks for sharing. Wish I had something like this a few years ago. The USCIS is nearly impossible to reach by phone, unless you memorize a very specific set of options and get lucky.

Not overcomplicating things intentionally. There's other reasons of course...standards, shorter wavelengths, etc. Not referring to priority(second point) but capacity. Tri band routers as I'm sure you're aware dedicate two

Not just noise..most modern routers allocate more bandwidth to 5ghz. So it is, in a literal sense, faster.

A kernel is not an OS. Or do you consider Android just another linux distro?

It's only been two months since the Ubuntu(upstream) release. The versioning reflects that base. They've been working on Cosmic, which is no small thing, and likely the reason for the delay. Either way, it's 2 months late a

If Indians are super interested in headlines like 'Do Not Go Gently...' or some other irrelevant Go phrase, sure.

I'm like, 95 percent sure some bot or network exists that promotes the word 'go.' I've seen not only way too many 'go the game', a rather obscure game, get to the top, as well as random headlines of uninteresti

I consider that covered under 'and such' but, it's not so simple. There's about four layers between the chainsaw and the consumer. So HD, Lowes, etc all exist at layer 4, sometimes 3 and 4. None of them are going to pr

Yeah, prices are still ridiculous. Apparently it takes a couple months for the aforementioned price drops in futures to trickle down. If HD bought it for 100, they ain't gonna sell it for 50 regardless of what sawmills are doing(unle
