That’s funny, it took leaving al-anon and AA before the people I knew having problems and their families got better. We all look back at both 12-step programs as very cult like, using religious-style pandering language. The anecdotes are me

Wow, our experiences were different. I found ARM to be a great tool compared to ASM. The moment I removed the last ASM bits, my entire infrastructure became reliably versioned and deployable.

I'm not sure how often you start and stop your shells, but start time is seldom a concern. I enjoy you chose Hyper.js, which uses electron. I'm not sure what speed you were expecting there. You might try ConEmu https://

Paseo is an immigrant restaurant in a very expensive neighborhood. I'm not sure they would be able to stay open if 2-5% was cut off their revenue. It's just money; not a conspiracy.

My apologies. I did misunderstand that. I don't necessarily agree, but it's an interesting thought. I've never considered the cash overhead before.

I live in Seattle. I bring cash for cash-only businesses. In my experience, cash-only stores still exist. Stores that like cash are very frequent. There's a lot of hand writing about cash users being subsidized by other customers. If

I would say the blade analogy is fairly correct. OSS isn't polished many times. The installer might be missing. Documentation is out of date or incomplete. The plug-in manager requires using the file system explorer directly. All of th

Would leaving be more, or less, professional than the phone to begin with? If an employee "just left", then I wouldn't blame management or expect to see that coworker anymore.

Who need allusion? TFA explicitly states TWU wants to keep safety improvements. That's literally the job I would expect for a union. Safety is already worse in NYC than other areas. It all hinges on if the safety concerns are valid.

TFA mentions train operators will preemptively slow down to keep their job. Nothing to do with a union, but keep trying to shoe horn that in.

It would be great if peers competed on features, anti-bot tactics, reliability, etc. Perhaps large social sites should be working on an open social data interchange protocol instead of asking for protected regulation. Free the game instead
