It's also worth adding that, as someone who's generally competent and has been bootstrapping/administrating linux computers for years, I recently burned most of a full day trying to get Arch on my laptop before giving up. Whe

Sure, and that's why I didn't claim Arch or Endeavour was better than Manjaro. I was just pointing out why I like it. A lot of this is gonna be subjective to what you want - under the hood, almost all of them are essentially the

As someone who just switched to Endeavor on my desktop recently, I appreciate that it feels like the right amount of "you have all the power and options" that Arch promises, but also has the sort of "It just works out of the

The issue with insular communities is they're insular though, and often by definition exclusionary. The nice part about something like reddit was if I picked up a new hobby, I could reliably find a community for it there. If I take up

And there's even Narwhal on iOS that's totally viable and fine. That's insane hyperbole.

As an asexual person myself, who is not aromantic, I'm well aware what asexual means. Obviously sometimes they're cleanly married or in a committed emotional relationship with one person. In general though, most people consider se

Sure. There's not a good comparison. But even if we're just talking about differences in training model issues, a portion of the underlying issue is that the classification is so wrong that it doesn't see some people as eve

That would at least be an over-specific class though, as most colonialists are people . The issue here is that it's often not seeing people as people, and identifying them as animals. It would be more like if it ID'd white folks

Yea, I've always found even the more progressive legal systems to be such that they're often, reasonably, less loose than most progressive cultures. I was discussing this with folks recently about Canada's proposed asylum cla

Curious question - does this take effect for all couples/groups? I've been roommates with people for 3+ years before with no sexual/romantic interest. Would I be considered married to them in BC? Is this different for same-se

by noirbot 3y ago
Yea, I'd assume the chronically unhappy/depressed are probably less likely to find a long-term partner than average. It would potentially be also interesting to control for sexual activity? Presumably most married couples were sex

That essentially just says "if you got married and told everyone you were but never filed the paperwork, it counts." It doesn't seem like, if it came to it, you told a court or government that you weren't married that th

Yea, and as someone who's had their social group rent in half twice in recent years because of committed marriages falling apart, I'm pretty happy with less of my friends making me meet their new partner and integrate them into my

I believe what I used to do was set it up where CTRL worked to also revert my keyboard to QWERTY mode, so all your muscle memory for shortcuts on QWERTY still work, but typing is in the other layout. At the end of the day, I found I'd

IIRC, the issue with plumbing is often sewage volume from cooking + showers and the like. There's a certain amount of load expected per floor of commercial space that is lower than for residential, and often commercial buildings litera

Sure, but going out and publicly just going "it's a failed experiment" when you're as influential as he is is different than just not trying to solve it for everyone. It's actively contributing to ending the experim

I appreciate the perspective, and I certainly don't hold anything against the folks who have prioritized other things in their life. The difficulty I've found is often when there used to be some activity or hobby you did with some

Yea, I also definitely feel this. I was roommates in a large house with 3 good friends for a few years and I definitely feel like I'm better friends with all of them now that we don't live together.

Yea, I think I feel this from the other direction. I'm not that much older than a lot of my friends, but I've lost many of them over the years to marriages and children. Many of them moved across the country or at least a large di

And even with high-speed rail, a lot of distances in the US would still be brutally slow, even with direct point-to-point rail. At some point, trying to go from NYC to DC, let alone St. Louis or Atlanta, takes a pretty long time via non-pla

Inflation adjusted, I'd be seriously curious how much you paid for that flight. My general understanding is that a ton of the "flying used to be nice" anecdotes are because in the 90s and before, almost everyone was flying at

Because it's generally been borderline impossible to force a large national government to do something better. It's legitimately easier a lot of the time to force a multinational corporation to change than the government. Since th

I've definitely put an entire pizza in a box through the scanner before and had no questions or pushback. If anything I've had more questions when I've flown with packaged food. Foods I've flown with: Apples Two sub sand

I would be curious to compare to the 90s though. I remember when I was younger, I'd sometimes just go to the airport back when you could just walk out to the gates, grab a snack and then watch the planes take off and land. Obviously th

It somewhat makes sense to me. Measuring all the time, you're susceptible to odd readings that are essentially false positives. If your device has a 1/1000 false positive rate, but you're usually only making one reading with

I think it's also less about the bugs and more about the fact that the "thought" behind it is less predictable. If I have a random developer implement some basic function, I can have some confidence that it will cover all of

Sure, but I'm surprised it's just confidently wrong about factual information like that. Like, if it had just told me it didn't know about up-to-date info about places, that would have been fine, but dumping a lot of incorrec

I've been asking it some basic stuff like "Where could I go for brunch this weekend in New York" and it recommended me a few places, but claimed that a few of them had Michelin stars when they definitely didn't, and reco
