I find Mac less consistent, especially around home/end key behavior. In some places, home goes to the start of a page, in others, the start of a line. In addition, the key combinations and gui behavior are annoying. Ever try to cmd+tab

It's illegal to deny loans on the basis of race. Your race is also not a factor in your credit score.

Perhaps they don't believe political participation will help, or maybe OP is simply incorrect in their assertions.

We have all that and more. There are even groups that seek people out to teach them to vote. When you file a change of address with the post office, they send you a packet with all kinds of moving resources including how to re-register. In

Agreed. This is what fascism actually looks like.

You have no reason to be sorry; you didn't stab him. People aren't responsible for the actions of other people by virtue of sharing some traits.

Your need to work is tied directly to your need for food and shelter - in other words, biology. You can alternatively grow your own food and build shelter, but that's also work. Sustaining life requires work. Whether we engage in a mar

A better contrast would be whether or not you trust a random to do a better job than half the presidents elected after the social media explosion post 2000. Social media and the internet have changed politics to a very large degree.

Most of the ones that are gun owners won't "walk the walk" either. It's one thing to bitch or give an answer to a pollster, but a completely different thing to leave everything you care about and march off to civil war.

The issue I have with some frozen veggies (peppers, onions, garlic, celery) is that the freezing process damages cell walls leading to a mushier result. They also tend to dissolve faster in longer cooking items like chili or red beans and r

It depends. I used the cheap knives for a long time before I was more successful in my career. It was a chore to keep them sharp as they tended to dull very quickly. Once I had more money to spend, I bought a knife with more desirable steel

Make another argument then. There are lots of ways to protect children without limiting the liberty of consenting adults.

Your argument boils down to "think of the children" which I do not find compelling. I can rationalize taking all kinds of things away from people with that logic.

Yep and in those cases, a qualifier is added, such as blueberry wine. If someone refers to something simply as "wine", I think most of us will expect grape.

I have direct access to an Amtrak station and the trip to NYC is nearly 20 hours and until recently, was more expensive than either flying or driving.

Drinking significantly increases your risk of certain cancers. While smoking is more of a cancer risk, drinking inhibits judgement and can lead to all sort of issues in addition to cancer risk - drunk driving, violence, etc. In short, alcoh

Why eliminate smoking entirely? Some people want to smoke and that should be their business. The risks of smoking have been known for decades and some people accept those risks because they enjoy it. Instead of harassing them, how about we

I credit vaping to helping me quit cigarettes and nicotine entirely. The flavors were amazing and were a great alternative to cigarettes. Vaping allowed me to wean myself from nicotine over the course of about a year. Once I worked down to

I found software called notunes that will disable iTunes, but now my Amazon music player fires up whenever I stop a Bluetooth call instead. And yes, I mean the unix like environment. WSL isn't an option for me on my work computer since

A trip to NYC from my Midwestern town takes literally three times longer as driving. The train is more comfortable, but more expensive and slower.

I would like statistics around how many drug dealers started selling because it was a choice between starvation and drug dealing. In my own anecdotal view, many people get involved in that lifestyle in their early 20s and do it because they

Political views often shift over the course of a lifetime. Those that rebel with opposite views from their parents in their 20s often shift further center in their middle age.

The auto-launching of itunes when I get off a call using my Bluetooth headset is super annoying! If it weren't for the CLI Mac would be worthless for development. The only reason I have one is for work, and only because I'm not al

We had to put ours in at 6 months. About a week in, she caught her first cold, then it was continuous illness (for all of us!) of one kind or another for about 2 months. Things have gotten much better since.

Did you know that children in daycare have almost a 100% chance of contracting RSV within the first year of attendance (even pre-pandemic)?

This sounds authoritarian, or maybe progressive. I can't tell the difference. My point is that data without context is almost worthless when crafting policy.

This is another case where those of us that view the world through the lens of race are again moving the racist goalposts. Enacting a policy without race in mind, then have that policy impact one race more than another is not racist unless
