Sorry, I assumed from your other responses that you were not okay with enforced treatment. Given how focused you were on the government not infringing rights, and how you were explicitly against enforcing isolation, I guess I assumed that c

What’s a solution to (or, I guess, outcome of) someone refusing to get treatment or isolate with a highly infectious disease that conforms to your ideology?

In case anyone else was getting nervous: “If you occasionally enjoy crunching on leftover ice cubes, such as when you finish a fountain drink, that isn’t pagophagia. Chewing on ice only becomes pagophagia when the drive to chew ice is inten

You can minimize this by booking a room in a sleeper car and/or moving around or going to the observation car - if it’s not too busy to do so. I have had some interesting tablemates in the restaurant car though - they always fill all s

If, as so many are here, you’re in the Bay Area, the Coast Starlight from San Jose is a great way to travel down to LA or up to Portland or Seattle. It’ll take a while - but the trip, and the scenery, are part of the point.

You do need to fill in a (very simple) form first - but at least for my recent orders it's fairly straightforward: in the "My Orders" list, there's a "Return or replace items" button on the right hand side, (_b

I wonder how much of this debt is rotating debt that’s paid off every month? I buy almost everything on credit/store cards - because with 1-5% back it seems stupid not to* - but I pay them all off every month. I would argue this kind o

Amazon wouldn’t accept a return? I don’t return a lot, but when I have it’s been really easy - no questions asked, just fill in the form then take it to the nearest Whole Foods.

I won't go to a Disney property, I don't use SaaS services, etc. Once my current smartphone breaks, I won't be getting another smartphone. Most people would say that’s going to extremes.

Wait, what? People can see stuff bring removed by flossing? That has never happened to me, unless it’s something obvious like a piece of peanut skin that got logged in there somehow. Usually, the floss starts and ends looking pretty much th

I do floss, but I always think that it’s unintuitive that something that literally causes bleeding when you start doing it ever came to be regarded as a good thing.

This feels plausible but I think it is really nonsense. Processing fees are not unique to cash. Banks charge cash processing fees to businesses too, and have for ever. Most shops will deposit all the cash received at the end of the day - pe

People are downvoting you, but you are correct. People believe all sorts of weird thing about tax deductions (almost always _income_ deductions).

Somewhere in the middle. There’s a way to migrate your account to another server, including keeping follower relationships intact (so people don’t need to follow you again - they’ll automatically follow the new account). Past posts don’t ge

From your description I’m not sure you understand Mastodon. People who don’t know about it and read your description will get the wrong impression, at least. You can follow someone on any Mastodon server from your account on any server. It’

I do think YAML is overly complex - but there is some hyperbole in this document. - Many of these complaints are about YAML 1.1. - YAML 1.2 was released _14 years ago_. - The author makes some allusions to 1.2.2, and it requiring a team of

If someone has a clean commit that is a district unit of functionally and passes all tests, why would that not have simply been committed as an independent change prior to continuing work? This is exactly the kind of change I’m talking ab

I think you’re maybe not getting what I want - unless I’m misunderstanding, the three way diff you suggest won’t work for this. In the simplest possible configuration that exhibits the pattern, there are commits like this … - A - B - C. To

Then perhaps the part of your original post I responded to is not in fact about the thing I thought it was. I’m definitely with you that we should not be quick to assume malice or bad faith in general. The casual normalization of using heav

That’s a whole extra layer of tedium above what I’d like to see. I just want a single command that will do all the reverts cleanly, and the option to list the necessary reverts instead of doing them.

One feature I would’ve given a lot for when recently working with a large team on a big project: Sometimes, it’s not obvious that a thing that’s made it to the main branch (whether committed or merged) is problematic until a while afterward

it’s probably better for public discourse to give them some grace unless it’s egregious or clearly intentional That’s kind of what I’m saying too. The difference here, and reason I feel okay calling it out, is that it is itself an example

The author is a little loosey-goosey with some strong claims, eg that Jobs saying the iPhone ran OS X was a lie. I noticed this too. This kind of hyperbolic assumption of bad faith for small inconsistencies seems to be fashionable at the

“Right now, apes are going for a mere $80,000 on the low end“ This is wild to me. It’s like an entire industry driven by sunk cost fallacy.

This is a really good point. If I ‘have’ $1bn because I spent $100 on crypto that rose, held it, and then the price just crashed again, nothing has actually been lost. But if I sold that crypto at the inflated value, the buyers have lost bi

Even if this were all synchronized, you’d still need to have all the apps memory state available - either taking up loads of RAM or requiring a lot of expensive paging.
