I think what you're describing is a lack of public transit, not the impossibility of it. And I'm not 100% sure why 1/2 the space would be parking, this seems like a fairly large exaggeration. More likely lots of the space,

The problem is, people used to have non-gender, non-racial terms for people. For example, a person might be called an 'asshole' or 'bonehead', and this could be a person of any colour, any sex, age, etc. Yet now, it see

Note that they have a say in what you do with your land, too. Is it OK for someone to buy the house next door, and build a cafe? What about a night club, which has loud music and closes at 4am? How about a rendering plant? Or installing a

Canadian cities have suburbia, and public transit. Many have buses on main streets, which are typically a 2 or 3 block walk from side streets. Suburbia doesn't mean "have to have a car", it is just many like having cars. Thi

Outside of the parent's offensive sexist, and racist 'Karen' statement... I really don't think people have perspective these days. You think this is the era of officious busybodies?! Seriously? It's just that th

Well... "free" has been used like this for thousands of years. Traders/merchants spouting free this or that, like a car dealer giving free oil changes, or midas with a free inspection. Nothing is free. Ever. What's cha

Some sitcoms use laugh/fake audience tracks, and some people hate those too. I think parent should have used 'formal', as there are still different writing styles. Formal, business, intimate, friend, etc. Many do find emotic

It'd be a nightmare to maintain, as Firefox devs inexplicably and randomly rename config names, sometimes modify their purpose, or just plain remove them.

If I was paranoid, I'd say those devices are developed just to get the most paranoid to use them. :P But in truth, I'm not paranoid.. merely a realist. Regardless, I was thinking of buying a Librem, but can you even get one yet?

A couple of things... We all have different sensitivities here. All our eyes are different. Mayhap, I'm more sensitive to dim light, more distracted, etc. Whatever the case... I've modified many cars I've bought, to allow

Not to mention, unexpected hurdles (the pesky public) got in the way. He did his part, and should be compensated... at least, that could be the logic.

But then I "do something", and the screen comes blasting to life, blinding me, destroying my night vision. And what about my dometers? Speed, o? In a traditional car, my eyes adjust, and I can read them without additional light

How about the elephant in the room? Radio firmwares. It is meaningless if you install firewalls, if you compile android on your own, only to have to turn around and use proprietary, closed source libs to access proprotary, closed source rad

I still don't like any internal light, and a white blacklight seems... silly. Even if dimmed down, it's still there. (I have owned cars with LCDs before, and it's annoying if I can't completely shut them off). OLED woul

I still don't get night driving + rural. In the city, there is a lot of light. It's not really ever truly dark. In rural areas, on a dark night, especially with no moon, your eyes can adjust to the darkness... I tend to turn all

Ah yes. Which is only sometimes responded to, and if so, with a "Check your SPAM folder" email. If you respond to that without technical data, then you're basically saying "No, I did not receive it", and their re

I get it, please see my other response. RE: random bash commands. Part of the reason I linked shopify's SPF page to them -- an attempt to provide external validation. But I get it. Which is why, as I mention in that other response, i

While I know why you say this, I find it matters little. I've started emails off with (very close to): "NOTE: this is a technical issue. You may not understand it. Please forward to a technical person", with a lot of variet

Often I try to help sites with more generic, borked issues. Your comment about "Oh boy, will they tell you" brought one to the fore. I sent the following to a site. Do you think I received a response? A reply? Either they don&#

I think their answer was fair. From my perspective, in their shoes.. it wouldn't just be seniority/skill/desire to hire. I'd also try to gauge the person in question. An example... For years I've done, and supporte

Still is. No response as well. Interesting. (Another point of data .. I've emailed them in the past, over bugs/issues with their site. Zero response.)

Will you force them with a gun? To forgo all friends, family, comforts of home, and be literally trapped at work for months? Money doesn't just buy people. You'd essentially be drafting them.
