I think that that was the implication. We should elevate the standard for new chemicals that might enter our body through the environment to a similar standard we already have for drugs (chemicals we deliberately put into our body.)

Did they give you the discount or did you not go through with the purchase? I'd be doubly-wary if they gave me the discount but didn't let me send the phone back. Instant ban if (when) they ever found out.

I know. A few years later, I was helping my mom set up a new laptop and during the same OOBE, I made pretty much the same comment, and she seemed to think it was just fine or at least not weird-sounding. Come to think of it, I wonder if it&

I remember getting a laptop with Windows 8 about ten years ago and upon turning it on, the Out-of Box Experience (OOBE) "greeted" me, something like 'Hi. We're getting things set up for you' "Hi?" "We

> a search function that doesn't find "coöperation" when you search for "cooperation" is also very frustrating. Look, we can just disregard The New Yorker entirely and the UX will improve.

Aw, bummer. You're right of course.

As one of my math teachers would remind me, don't forget about 22 June, Pi Approximation Day!

No, it's still there in the 32-bit version of Windows (10, anyway.) Windows 11 doesn't support 32-bjt, so I suppose you could say it was dropped then, but Windows 10 is still supported.

Yeah, you and me both, always getting excited for nothing, now especially since they stopped touring (I did get to see them on their last run, though!)

> I think the association is so strong due to it playing through the iconic overdose scene in Trainspotting See now that is interesting because I've never seen that movie, but I guess it's not just me who can see the connection

Heh, this appeared right after writing my other comment. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

What I'm curious about is Perfect Day . I want to say I read him denying it being about heroin, but it just sounds too close to the feeling to me. Maybe I just see in it what I want to see; I'm not sure.

And even though we're well into the future of optical mice, when my Bluetooth mouse disconnects for a few seconds, the habit of thunking it on the desk a couple times persists... (to unstick the ball)

Those flock cameras make me unreasonably angry. I've considered filing a FOIA request about them but can't figure out quite what I'd be asking for. Data retention? Frequency of queries? Efficacy?

How strong is regent braking compared to engine braking in a manual? Does it feel like just staying in the same gear? Downshifting one?

Well, that's...fine, I guess, right? I mean that's how conversations work in real life, right? Just as long as the parent commenter doesn't interpret it as a direct attack or a direct argument. It just takes the conversation

What a great analogy. Thank you for taking the time to write this up.

I'm curious--when you say "a prolific pornographer," do you mean watcher or, uh, performer? Reading it I think the latter but it sounds like you mean the former.

> live a half life Not sure if that was intentional, but nice. I didn't even know there could be such a thing as a nuclear startup. How do you think they will succeed if NuScale didn't/couldn't? Or was NuScale mismana

The cloud2butt user script is great. It also translates "the cloud" to "my butt" for bonus fun.

Maybe then auto-updating is the problem here. Why can't users have the agency to decide if they want to update or not? I know Microsoft/Google for one spearheaded the whole It's For Your Own Good movement, but opting out shou
