This must be the standard distance learning process because both my son and my wife (working on her masters) have to write a post and then respond to 2 other posts. It seems like fake discourse to me, all comments are written for the instr

My wife teaches second grade and for some time they had a common-core math curriculum that encouraged writing about math, how you solved this problem, and discussing that with the class. It was interesting to me to see this in person, beca

I feel the same. I work on a huge meandering system and most of the issues we encounter are caused by the interactions between modules, as you say. I've taken to writing and running "end to end" tests which test the whole p

interestingly where I live, unit price is on all price tags for food. but tasks like that would be perfect, combined with AI so you wouldn't have to pull up a calculator app etc, instead just say "what's the unit price for t

It could be a 25K Jeep, but requires 1k/month of maintenance that must be performed at a dealership.

Wow same here. My Dad could see which way the wind was blowing, I guess. It started my obsession with Sierra games though.

That's correct, distance plays a role in the estimate somehow so they limit it to when they can verify via GPS. They don't seem confidant on their distance relative to running on a treadmill. I find my watch is pretty close to th

I just bought a Tacoma in November of last year. Coming from a Jeep that had nothing but problems, I was looking for something I could make Home Depot runs in and that I wouldn't need to dump money into, so reliability was #1. I wante

It is really hard to find a "world" that has people in it, that you actually want to talk to. I have had some great experiences there though, some regular people that hang out in worlds and talk about stuff. It's kind of co

I think it all depends on context. It is lonely if you are the type of person who wants to interact physically. I work at home, and it can get kind of lonely here physically but there are some guys on Horizon I chat with from time to time

In fact that's where the wife puts the stuff she doesn't know what to do with.

Thanks for the tip. It seems I have it set to "keep originals", if I recall this is one thing I changed when having this issue. It has been some time though since I last tried it (because I hate it so much). I'll give it a

I have tried it both this way and via some tool like import via MS Photos and earlier Picasa. It works for a while but after a few hundred photos, just seems to die. I've had this problem on every PC I own, with all iPhones I own, us

I hope ability to get photos off iPhones is improved. I can NEVER get it to fully work for more than a few pictures. I know we are supposed to sync them to the cloud now but it's nice to be able to put them on the big drive on the PC

Same here. I like the 1 day in the office to meet face to face with people I work with. But I do feel like that becomes the point of the trip, which is ok, but I get very little programming done on those days. As hard as it was for me to

Thanks! I really appreciate your insights on this. I do enjoy the Q2 for entertainment and I use it a lot in that context, since I enjoy this as is, I feel like I can at least skip a generation since the work-part isn't there. Incide

I used to think this too, and to some extent there are things children do that you probably can attribute to parenting. But kids are also their own people and make their own decisions, the younger they are the stupider the decisions it see

by tfandango 3y ago
Thank you. Your experience with the Quest 2 mirrors my own. I'm undecided if I will try a Q3 or skip a generation. It definitely seems like things are moving in the right direction and I'm excited about that!

Out of curiosity, what are you using for work on your Quest? I also have a Q2 and have tried, maybe not too seriously, several of the screen sharing apps to do work but couldn't quite get past the resolution and lag. Perhaps that has

On the issue with getting distracted on calls while working from home. I do the same, not because I am easily distracted but because I have a lot of work to do, and you are sitting there in front of your work, so you get back to it. On som

Yet never addressed is why Daddy Pig's professional colleagues also call him "Daddy Pig"... I don't know why but this got into my brain and won't leave.

That is why I'm replacing my SUV with a Tacoma (other than that the SUV blew its engine). I tend to move a lot of outside stuff and with the Jeep I was making many trips with lots of buckets. Now I will be able to let them just dump

That's awesome! I just lost my old 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee when it decided to blow its engine at 107K miles. I'm told it had something to do with the variable valve timing system they put in, then I found out that this is not a

I just love that whole movie. I know it's not that highly regarded but we all have a movie like that it seems like. Every time we are on a road trip, and we drive by a truck stop with all those trucks stopped at night, I always say &qu

I was laid off at the time so I watched this happen live on TV. Later I delivered meals-on-wheels while listening on the radio and discussing with all the folks I was taking meals to that day. So surreal. I remember thinking it was a terri

Great show, I could not care less about car maintenance back when I listened to this show religiously. Years later, my kids loved Pixar's "Cars" and what a delight to see (hear I guess) them make a cameo.

yes, they used this for kickboard in my kitchen and even occasional spills and drips will cause swelling. Then you can't do anything about it but tear it out or try to repair with wood putty or something like that.
