Sceptre is not in fact "a Wal-Mart brand" but rather an independent company. https://www.sceptre.com Westinghouse TVs are made by a company licensing the brand, not a "Pittsburgh-headquartered company". These

I tried this out, and it's not passing the record (n.) vs. record (v.) test mentioned elsewhere in this thread. (I can ask it to repeat one, and it often repeats the other.) Am I not enabling the speech-to-speech-ness somehow?

Yes, though it's worth stating that it's a little more nuanced than that, since (for historical, path-dependent reasons) the compiler and libc are often independent projects (and libc often includes a bunch of other stuff beyo

Right; top-level comment is saying that those are all missing from the linked code.

Fair. The greater point was that you're not just "helping the business" by maintaining a clean environment (whether the "dirt" be carts or excrement). You're also helping your fellow humans. And, in fact, you

By that logic, why not also just throw your trash on the ground? And, if you need to use the restroom while you're there, why not just pee on the floor? That would be a great way to fight the business, which would love to employ fewer

Full-service checkout is a service that is explicitly offered by (most) stores, and yes, it's a service many people like -- in part because of the poor UX of the self-checkout machines. ("Please return item to the bagging area.&q

Except he did that, and Trump continues to ask for more. And Cook keeps volunteering it. Why so many people fail to infer the obvious answer here -- that Cook is a Trump-supporting Republican -- boggles my mind. And not that it really matt
