How weird that your experience is so incongruent with everyone else’s reports. Do you think you got a dud machine, or do you think you’re running software that others aren’t, or otherwise using your machine differently than everyone else? T

A lot of these assholes have chosen to be left behind. They choose to self-victimize, they choose to blame others, they choose to engage in anti-social behaviours. In short, society is not leaving them behind, they are choosing to

Humans are unreliable. Thanks to Elon’s incompetence, my scheme will stop all the FSD Teslas all the time. And what better target, than those who can afford to piss away five figures on a half-assed scam!

Downvoting on HN has become irrational. Perfectly innocuous, factual statements now get downvoted. Harmless opinions get downvoted. Personal experiences get downvoted. Not because the commentator has said something untrue, not because the c

And even at that rate, it crippled our healthcare system. Huge staffing issues remain. It has been absolutely brutal for everyone employed in the hospitals. Many doctors and nurses have quit.

Are they dealing with blackwater or copper or pex? Because any fool can do pex and soldering honestly doesn’t take much skill, and no amount is too much for dealing with some stranger’s blackwater.

Pages reminds me of using various desktop publishing apps. FrameMaker, Ventura, InDesign. I used to be able to eke out accurate page layout in MS Word, but it was always fraught and more difficult. But if you’re not perfectionist about layo
