   I don't know how that doesn't immediately create new threads of arguing about why and whether something should be downvoted. - "Downvoted you because I found your comment rude to OP." - "How is calling them a cheese

   Personally, I think it's the other way around. Sci-fi writers understood both what technology could create in the future (and what would be desirable), and also understood how people abuse power and the tools available to them to stay

   I've bought multiple laptops that either shipped with Linux or were widely recognized as Linux-friendly. They all functioned better (hardware support wise) with Windows than Linux. I don't buy that it's just an issue of infor

   This seems homonymphobic. Edit: homophonephobic, technically.

   Saw this comment and couldn't figure out what it implied so I clicked on the link. Now I see it definitely made sense.

   Virtually nobody's mad at commercial landlords for being the only people actually making money in the (non-chain) restaurant industry though.

   Zume already tried with pizza in the Bay Area (though the trucks weren't self driving), IIRC. Didn't work out, last I checked. (Edited a bunch of times for doofusness.)

    Yeah, there's a moment when the weight of the change you're carrying becomes noticeable that elicits a "seriously?!" dismay response.

    I find this hilarious and wanted to give it more recognition than just an upvote.

    Okay, awesome point. Meanwhile, in my 25 years of living in the US (NJ, SoCal, and NorCal), I can count on one hand the number of times I've come across them "in the wild". I started collecting them in 2004 by keeping every o

    Comments like yours make me feel justified that potential burn-in issues were why I stuck with an IPS panel when I purchased a new monitor earlier this year. My past monitors have lasted me 5-7 years in the past, and I only upgraded for siz

    Yes. $1 coins aren't super common but they're not so odd that someone wouldn't believe it's real. There are also collector-oriented coins but pretty much none of those are actually intended for use. Edit: fun fact, there

    You remind me of the time (probably around 2002) I used a 20 to pay for some transit card/ticket somewhere and ended up with something like 15 dollar coins in change. I want to say it was a metro card in NYC. Concurrent dismay and deli

    I agree with this. I was using emacs for a while, but when I switched to vim, something about the different modes just really meshed with how I thought about what I was doing, and I enjoyed it way more and stuck to it for a couple of decade

    My anecdata is that my current PC is four years old, with the same OS install, and I can't even recall if I've seen one BSoD.

    As someone who immigrated to the US, I'm not sure how one quantifies "far more", and I'm even less sure it's true.

    Because there is something that people these days commonly refer to as "the opioid crisis" (or epidemic) [1]. And overprescribed pain meds are seen as a large cause of it / aggravating factor. So yeah, "that whole thing&

    Are you taking "the whole opioid addiction crisis" literally? As if I meant that every single opioid addiction in history is because of "regulated heroin"? You think that's a reasonable read?
