One more vote against “nobody orders because of the app”, back in college ordering Dominoes (or Daaahhmmss, as we were more likely to refer to it at the time), was the go-to purely because of the app. It saved each of our favorite orders, o

My understanding is that AWD has computer controlled power distribution and 4WD has a diff. My 4WD has a (lockable) center diff.

You don’t have to suffer though them! All you have to do is not use the app or provide the developer some other means of compensation. Why should all users have to pay out their cold hard cash to use a service just because a handful of peop

I’m pleased to see ads that show me well designed products that solve problems I’ve been experiencing, especially if I don’t know I’ve been experiencing them. For instance, Instagram’s targeting has realized that I like outdoorsy products,

To play devil’s advocate, why should the active healthy subsidize the lifestyles of the sedentary? It makes a lot of sense for people to pay less for health insurance based on their fitness.

Has the author considered asking people instead of speculating and blindly discrediting studies? As with others in this thread, I have had earwax compaction issues from attempting to use q tips to clean. Don’t do it, use the squirt bottles.

No, I don’t think so. > When they arrive, they are strung upside down by their feet—more broken bones—before their head is dunked in electrified water and their throat is cut. Turkeys, like chickens, are not covered by the Humane Methods

Well that’s terribly confusing. So .anythingBut(“a”).then(“a”) matches “a”?? That’s so far off from what I’d expect that when I read the example for a URL: (...).anythingBut(“ “).endOfLine() I defaulted to assuming endOfLine mapped to [^\n]

None at all. Neither did the parent. We’re two (now three) strangers sharing opinions.

Thanks! Perhaps the issuetracker and sheets teams will be able to work together on a new permission-less access policy. ;)

Ha! I’d bet the security head did not do this of their own accord, there was almost certainly a higher-up approving it. And what would apple do, replace their head of security (who is willing and able to navigate sociopolitical constructs i

One interesting thing to consider is that the US isn’t actually the center of the world, so generalizing it’s reaction to the rest of the world makes no sense. Looking at the world instead, COVID has killed just over a million people so far

I want to see a coca-cola freestyle-style plant-hamburger machine where you choose your own blend of bases and watch them be extruded from some bags then blended together and plopped onto a griddle.

Do it! Though it ends up being far easier with a camera as you aren't restricted by seasons and locations. I think part of the fun in hunting is that most of the time you turn up empty handed, so the one time you get it is special. Cer

I’ve literally seen first-hand GJS lose track of paren matching while lecturing on Sceme/SICP. It happens very rarely sure, but certainly not never. Probably about as often as experts in any other language/profession make silly mi

The past paragraph is funny to me - in my experience the same wattage is much easier on a rowing machine exactly because it uses more muscles. Sure I’m primarily using my legs, but they get a slight rest each cycle when I’m at the tail end
