Hyperbole?

In the abstract, I can see it being a valid strategy; do that, see what parts need improvement, refine your process to address the issues, see if it's good enough yet. I don't think it's reasonable to ask a brand new car comp

My brother-in-law works at a very high end car detailing/film shop. He works on Ferraris and Lambos and McLarens and the like, but also Mercedes and Audi level of cars. He also has to spend a lot of time detailing Teslas. Since his j

You can extend that argument to almost anything. I'm not sure I'm saying you're wrong, either, but simply being alive seems to adversely impact the environment. I don't think you or anyone is saying people should start o

That blows my mind; I never would have considered people would focus on the actors or the director. Until you said it I don't once thing I ever even considered the possibility! I'm kinda floored right now.

I suspect they don't have it at all on their Roku channel :( I'll look again tonight, but if I can start downvoting these things, I can at least feel like I'm screaming "no" into the void, which is better than screa

Right - I just feel like it takes things entirely too far. Not every signal deserves a boost that takes a certain genre of suggestions up to 11. These recommendation systems need to be a bit less zealous; I like black pepper, too, but that

My problem with Netflix isn't the slate of shows and movies it has in its catalog. It's definitely not as nice as it used to be, but there are a jillion and a half shows and movies out there. My problem is that Netflix has taken n

An old defense contractor I worked at did the similar things. It was required by federal contracting rules/law/whatever that our timesheet reporting be accurate. The spirit of the law was probably "don't charge us for t

Yep, truly horrible things like buying power tools and wood working plans, but not wanting to see advertisements for those things on every last fucking website or application I ever use ever again for the rest of all time.

Which isn't really privacy related. I value privacy more than a robust and fair market. I can understand why others wouldn't, but I'm not the one spending their money, nor are they the ones spending mine.

Side note: I was given my first student loan when I was 17. I was the only signatory. I'm still not sure how that was allowed; at least it's an amusing anecdote, though.

Correct me if I'm wrong - I think I now see the disconnect we (or better put, I) had and I'm sorry I didn't see it before. If there's no financial or legal penalties for discharging the loan debt due to bankruptcy, peopl

Ugh. I tried. Somehow when I first configured it, I configured something incorrectly - and it literally stopped all connections to or from the router entirely. I had to physically connect to it and uninstall the pkg to get it to work aga

I'm running a pfsense setup with cloudflare as my DNS (DNS-over-TLS, in specific). As soon as I had the rpi in the middle, it jacked up resolution times like crazy (rpi was set to use my SG as its DNS, so <clients>->rpi->p

Haven't you noticed any drastic reductions in speed? My rpi 3b (not 3b+) just couldn't handle it. It had 2 users. Our DNS resolution times increased by about 200ms. It was awful. I stripped it back out and haven't bothere

Maybe another way to put it: #4 works as long as neither party is overly selfish. That doesn't mean that both will spend the same, though. Equality of expenditure isn't as important as equality of happiness/contentedness.

by isbjorn16 7y ago
Personally, I feel like trying to keep track of every last expenditure would just cause more and more strife between us. As long as all our long term financial goals are being met, I'm content with what we're doing. And since the

I'm sorry if my intention wasn't clear enough! You're absolutely right that right now, we are wealthy enough to be able to spend 4600$ on various "things" without either of us really batting an eye. That isn't

by isbjorn16 7y ago
#4 misses some other cases. My spouse and I are firmly in this category, but we also have different spending habits for sure! They buy a lot of little stuff that I don't see as particularly useful, while I don't buy anything at al

I feel that, hard. I could eat my body weight in mashed potatoes or rice or noodles and still end up hungry an hour later. Fat and (to a lesser extent) protein seem to have the largest effect on suppressing my appetite, and I have no idea w

That's a good idea; it probably wouldn't matter for me since my phone is muted all day long and I only use my phone if I'm on a coffee quest, but most people are a lot more attached to their phones than I am
