Words change over time. Plenty of words have changed meaning in my lifetime to become less formal than they once were. And I guarantee I used to be this pedantic about some of them, particularly around the usage of grammar and punctuation,

What you’re saying is probably true, but are you proposing razing Phoenix and rebuilding it as a less car-focused place? My sense is that that proposal wouldn’t be too popular with the people whose homes you’re tearing down, nor would neces

Got it. So Tesla can’t even get braking correct. They should be able to do AEB before they are allowed to do FSD in my opinion.

The post to whom you’re responding definitely overstates it. Most places are mostly just show up, there’s regularly or always ways to simply day hike anywhere — including the Enchantments, which are unrestricted for day hiking and I’ve pers

I wouldn’t characterize that example as “not smart” to be honest. I’m not particularly smart, but if someone has gone through the trouble of changing their secure socket port from 22, I would realize there would be more work and time involv

calculatte said: “ I wonder which generation would have small children around this time. 75 year old boomers or 28 year old millenials? Must be the boomers” I’m picking up sarcasm here, maybe mistakenly. The person being yelled at to leave

Yep, I’ve been using Authy for years because of this. Before that, I would have a second phone with GAuthenticator on it and when I scanned the QR code to set up a new account, I would do it with both phones simultaneously to make sure I ha

It is very, very, exceedingly rare where I am put into a conversation to recommend a search engine. I can recall about twice ever. While it’s true both times I did recommend DDG, my trusted recommendation to friends/family can’t be wor

Yes it’s been mostly people not needing to be in the office following post Covid work from home policies, causing people to move from areas where the main attractor was being close to their in person job.

This outcome is desirable in the sense that we should live in a world where this cottage industry doesn’t exist, but it is undesirable that people are losing some of the best jobs available to them. Yes this is progress overall.

Clicking repeatedly on your own ads to make money from those clicks? That’s fraud. Blaming your whole life situation on Google banning you for stealing from them? That’s ridiculous. Take a little responsibility for your actions and situatio
