Yeah but we paid into a social fund for Medicare and social security. It’s not tax revenue it’s our savings.

Hmmm. Interesting. Would the UI be local and compute remote in this paradigm? And how is that different from the old thin client model? just read your site, and I’m thinking of this as more like a super massive global mainframe?

Yes tab groups has helped a lot and is nearly there but not quite. I try and be disciplined but like you end up having to manually stop myself and drag tabs back to the ‘proper’ group.

I know you mean well but unless you’ve actually been through the U.S. immigration system you can’t properly understand how absurd this suggestion is. Please no one do this. It won’t help, won’t work, and you’ll both regret it big time. Some

I had a dog who loved watermelon. She was a (rescue) pug too so you can imagine the mess she made of that. Even on her deathbed, literal hours before crossing the bridge, she still managed a little. (Wow, I’m 45, it’s been nearly 5 years an

Your comment really, really moved me. And I identify so hard with the press enter anecdote. Thank you.

Great point about if the internet archive went down. Every single one of us on this site unless in poverty should consider donating to the IA. I’ve just changed my monthly donation from Wikipedia to IA.

Ha, if I ever get my tiscali.co.uk back (I won’t) I’d have some great memories ! Did the same as you. This was all pre gmail and webmail providers were stingy .

You’d be doing well to drive a car 250k miles in a year, never mind ride a bike!

by jamiek88 4y ago
I e never heard anyone use the phrase ‘drive a bike’ before, always ‘ride a bike’, you use drive several times - is this a regional thing I’ve not come across before?

Yep adhd and do the same. It’s around a 5 second buffer.

Of course it can be true. It’s basically impossible for nature to evolve wheeled locomotion, and we aren’t machines. Are you suggesting we are optimal? We aren’t even very efficient or physically fast or powerful for an evolved natural bein

the physics of LEO satellites and phased array antenna needed to get any bandwidth out of it makes that scenario very unlikely.

Subaru is too small for this crap and also design their cars around people wearing gloves so lots of chunky knobs. We are getting their ev next the Solterra which is a shared venture with Toyota.

Toothpick. Clean port. That has saved almost every iPhone people bring me that’wont charge’. Every other one Apple has fixed for free as some internal solder has failed. But that was twice in about 50 cases. (I do free/volunteer tech s

Yep. Thirty pin adapters STILL WORK. Apple supports it and sells the dongle. Can’t realistically ask for more than that. For us old Apple enthusiasts there were many many upsides to apples success and mainstreaming, some of the downsides in

‘Would we’ is subjective too. Different hiring managers would give different answers. The actual answer HR will give you, the magic words are ‘are they eligible for rehire ’.

I love this on a deep level. Great writing. ‘Imagined to notice’ is a lovely way of embracing those flights of fancy. The imagery of the older pigs subconsciously coming to a conclusion they’ll never quite get to really touched me. Thank yo

Every single word of your post was great, correct, but meaningless at the time except for two words near the end. Cash. Out. Man, I went through all those hoops, spent weeks, scamming those systems, real money too, but mostly playing the g

It’s an expression. Russians even take it further, ‘defenestration’! I assume from the story those are the angry fellows charges not our hero protagonist. One can not punch a person and not expect retaliation, even if that person you percei

Yes indeed that was what I was thinking about, that type of case. Literally itch through your skull in the right circumstances and it sure isn't will power.
