My brain refuses to read them mentally as a contiguous word, and I hate that. There are always induced pauses.

I think to be truly fair Option A has to consider the energy generation you will have to do elsewhere to make up the difference, which may or may not be carbon neutral - or to flip it, the energy generation you won't have to do due to

Because Acrobat will open these files, there is considerable pressure for Ghostscript to do so as well, though we do try to at least flag warnings to the user when something is found to be incorrect, giving the user a chance to intervene.

They certainly learned, it just wasn't the lesson I hoped they would learn.

This was also mentioned as a theme in passing in a sci-fi book I read. One of the trends across civilisations was that some would become total surveillance states, and they always failed because they stopped progressing at that point.

Just give me a way to blacklist Google results. I know there are plugins, but Google, I am willing to augment your AI with human level intelligence when I accidentally click some blog-spam-SEO-bullshit and can't hit the back button fas

My dog happily sleeps with all kinds of noise going on. While he's fairly smart I think there's not a lot of introspective thought in his brain. Probably the same for a kid compared to an adult, or an anxiety-ridden adult compared

Kia had a major recall fairly recently for this too. I think the fix was adding a single fuse but they recommended parking outside until then. > a lot of these battery fires aren't always starting in the passenger compartment either

It has the risk of being a B-team but it's also a good way to onboard new hires. You get a much higher turnover rate of new things to try, do, and learn. One place I worked did communications generation (PDF letters etc), we had massiv

RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) is a factor in many cases. Overreaction to external stimuli makes rejection hit harder. So it doesn't need to be constant or even more negative feedback - the same will be worse even if you are copin

For me, there is far more latency on typical operations, but far less waiting for longer intensive operations like opening a program/tab or saving a file (bloat aside, some are guilty here). I'd also prefer the sluggishness gone i

Try Win-R and type "notepad", at a reasonably fast programmer's pace. It consistently loses "no" for me, sometimes more if it's feeling particularly slow. This should involve absolutely zero disk reads or anyth

There are little semi-translucent black stickers you can get called lightdims or something, I use those. Doesn't fully block the light but makes it very faint but still visible which I like. Sometimes you need a couple. Does not help f

It does this with tolls too. I don't want to pay $8 to save 1 minute. I will maybe pay it to save 20 minutes. I've had it where I selected a non-toll route, something changed, then it threw me back onto the tolls.

Yes sunlight makes me extremely tired, like if I go for a walk or a picnic or something I'll end up far more exhausted than anything else can explain. I wonder if it's some kind of overcompensating effect due to my typical lack of

They also associate by mobile phone number and name matching based on one reply I got to my ticket. They suggested changing the name on the business account but that would just shift the issue to someone else unless we use a fake name. And

You just reminded me what we found in college (on campus). We could dial out to the other college, then back into ours, and then externally to get free long distance calls.

Yeah having worked in a big company or two, "you find it you own it" is a real issue. Easier to keep your head down when you know it'll be an 8-month back-and-forth meeting-fest to fix a basic issue.

I have a small business account registered to my home address (as a MyPost Business sender), so whenever I buy a parcel from anyone it emails the business that it's coming. They just do an address match on their side and email the busi

There was also a pretty basic SSO security issue a few years back, and I tried and tried and could not find anyone to report it to beyond regular customer service. Maybe they've fixed it but basically you click to look at tax stuff, it

Written works have had sarcasm, irony, and related forms of wit for as long as they've existed. While people might miss the mark, it doesn't mean we should just give it up as impossible just because we're now writing comments

FFXI had a better economy, but it comes down to the fact they don't seem to want money to matter in FFXIV. The game hands it out like free candy but it's only really worthwhile on cosmetics unless you buy into day 1 gear. Couple t

Which Big Corp though? The provider or the consumer? The dilemma is, this all feels like a bit of a Boy's Club where they all agree to just help each other and ignore the little people. Not always formally, it's just how things wo

The obvious #3 is "nurses are doing too much non-nurse stuff" which relates to both #1 (job is annoying and not what I want to do) and #2 in a way (they are not hiring non-nurses and/or investing in equipment, tools, etc).

One place I worked, was a Big Company providing overpriced services to other Big Companies. There were loads of low skilled IT workers, taking too long, making mistakes. Adding a BA and/or PM to drive every project when a competent dev

We had a license for some paid software for another reason, but it didn't work for me. I won't name them because support was very helpful, even gave me a beta to try, but by then I'd moved on. I think my archive was simply to

Yeah it feels like the binge watch mindset kind of papers over and enables this. Shows like a lot of their lower-tier Marvel ones can have significant pacing/padding issues but it's such easy watching and you can just burn through

Their support is local and easy to talk to. Easy to go off script with them, and it makes a huge difference in my experience when calling. Unfortunately I've had to call them many times, but that's the reality of HFC NBN I guess -

My ISP's support told me to always use their local copy ( https://speed.aussiebroadband.com.au/ ) as it avoids routing issues downstream but more importantly, it logs the history onto my account for them to view. The num

It is most likely just a relic from slower internet connections. Anyone who was browsing in the early 2000s didn't want an unknown number of images downloading all at once, especially on a mobile device. It does have little value these
