Which is crazy, since that's the only service that even PARTLY filters some of the insane level of spam that gets sent to my unused prepaid number that everyone contacting is clearly an automated spambot.

I remember as a kid they were really good. Like some of the best ice cream I ever ate. Wide selection too. Can't help but feel like they got the private-equity squeeze deal to turn them into a zombie. Some MBA comes in and cuts all t

What more harmful is probably not having a set of guilds / unions (that both work together, share the same collective bargains, but also compete for members) to cut a lot of the annoying for ALL sides involved interview process out. Wh

I was extremely dismayed when that supermarket simulator game that got popular on Twitch called 'pizza' something along the line of 'frozen dessert pie'... At least the way it tends to get made in the US, a sugary pastry

It depends on how the community's web of trust is setup. Need to go in person to a meetup to get your account on the allow list? Better have real good fake ID to avoid a person ban.

Would you rather go back to the modem days and call a 'Transfer' a 'Baud'? PAM encoding is already analog, and also correspondingly more expensive (power, silicon size, etc) for the increase in speed. It really wouldn&#x

Exactly why healthcare should be just one more part of the standard social contract. We the people should collectively pay (single payer) for everyone to have the required basic healthcare in bulk, without the stress of billing, collection

I don't think I'd be happy in that context. Medical technology failed 'us' and at that point the body has failed too. Time ran out and we did not slay the dragon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZYNAD

In that context, 'literally' as figuratively makes the same sense as inflammable and flammable. It's just one more errata in a language that's filled with horrible hacks from centuries of iterative development. My hill t

7! 5040 has the less than useful property of being quite large for interacting with human scales. 5! 120 however lacks fine precision required at human scale. Haven't done the math but it's probably something like using 3.1 as th

In that timeframe it would by nature need to be capable of full self repair, with the shipped materials and energy, and with no wasted byproducts. We'd have to completely re-think industrial processes. I'm in favor of realized na

Why don't we ever see management suddenly locked out without any ability to get into their accounts or buildings? They failed the duty, no golden package or BS.

Limited experience, but yes, ~2 hours does seem to be enough most of the time, adjust to more if it's a busy day / week for various reasons. (holidays, big sporting events, etc)

Have you tried looking for the 'more vegetables' option? It effectively doesn't exist. "Salads" are nearly all BS lettuce leaves with some sugary condiments and overly sugary dressing to make up for the complete la

If consumers were offered the same space for half the cost or same cost for double the space, I find it likely at least 30% would pick each of those bins. It's not that people don't want larger drives, it really is that this is wh

There's a distinction between random (probably not for work, 'water cooler chat') and 'obviously divisive' topics like politics. Particularly in the US, those are the sort of things you avoid.

Same idea as rubber-duck debugging or just explaining things to someone else. The work of translating the idea forces your mind to marshal and walk the structures from a fresh angle and you can gain insights that were lacking. Getting more

We need to just nationalize these things as basic civic infrastructure that everyone funds as part of the social contract.

It also doesn't count family members providing care for loved ones 'unpaid'. Nor does it count any of the people who really should have more or better care but don't get it.

These terrorists, yield? Already faulty logic. Their proclaimed goals and historic record show that will never happen and their budget for violence knows no limit. It's as tough as desalinating water, but removing the civilians from
