The parent said it was one marker for the health of the system. Not the sole marker. But I think you know that.

They do listen. They are well intentioned. But, they are required by law to escalate the issue if they believe self-harm is imminent.

Every situation is unique but often it’s best not to “say” anything. It’s best to just listen. Like really listen. And offer to continue listening. Encourage others to do the same. Most importantly, Resist the temptation to give advice (u

Depends on (1) what country/region you live in and (2) what brand you're talking about. For example: Yes, Safeway may be huge, but so is Procter and Gamble. Is there an asymmetry there? I'm not sure. Anyways, large chains d

Apple are bidding on exact (trademarked) product name matches (eg “HBO Max” and “Tinder”). You might have an argument if Apple was bidding on more general keywords like “online dating” to send traffic to the App Store’s Tinder page. Apple a

Wow, you're right. Searching works fine in Safari (desktop) but requires a plugin when you visit the same page in Chrome. I want to like this, but this move seems like just another scummy "growth hack".

by mthoms 5y ago
You don't have to use the plugin, just search at the top of the page. The text around the plugin is misleading. Strike 1 IMHO.

M1 is a "trainwreck"? Really? Your anti-Apple comments are always hilariously off base, but this takes the cake :)

My M1 Mini crashes (while sleeping) about once a week here as well. Funny thing is that I never get the crash reporter showing up after a hard reset. Very strange.

Why is mail-in voting a “disgraceful corruption of the voting process?”. Lots of people can’t vote in person (eg military and others temporarily overseas). Note: I’m not American and have no stake in this. I’ve just never seen such a strong

I tend to agree here. There's also the fact that this "feature" already exists - you just need to buy an Apple watch!

One (small) consideration is weight. Both version weigh more than previously - so if the previous 16" was already pushing what you find comfortable to carry, then the 14' might be a better choice.

Printer companies have long lost their right to getting the benefit of the doubt. At any rate, if your theory is correct then they are knowingly selling a defective product. Using the scanner is not a “corner case”, it’s one of the devices’
