Yeah, I wonder which one I’ll choose.

Kiwi strawberry Snapple.

It was 30 years ago, but it kinda killed the whole concept of calling things “gay” for me.

That must be why mobile and discriminating populations choose to move to China.

Don’t do it. They’ll blame you for every perceived problem they have (most of which will not actually be problem).

It’s expensive to refuse to learn new things.

Never give up the domain. I’ve let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.

Man, I rode my bike everywhere as a kid. I could get through 5-6 elementary schools. I could get to the rich kids neighborhood and the ghetto. I could get to 2 different movie theaters. I could get to 6 different great record shops.

I miss mixed CDs. You meet someone, you understand their music tastes, and you make them a mix of stuff that you think they’d like, but from your favorite known artists. I made plenty, and ones I received got me into some awesome bands.

Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.

I love my kids, but if I hadn’t had them, I’d have a lot more money, and less stress from having not quite enough money and lots of responsibility.

Don’t let other people or societal expectations pressure you into the decision either way. Do what you think will work best for you.

heh. This reminds me of electric cars. I’ve been happily driving one for 9 years.

Lots of people online and in person tell me “Electric cars aren’t there yet. They won’t work.” Well, you must be correct then. I just handed down my first EV to my kid and bought a second one.

It’s in beta as of yesterday:

M as in Mancy?

True.

Also, there is a psychological effect of people either feeling excluded from a conversation, or suspicious that they are being secretly insulted when they can’t understand it.

Disagree. I owned flagship Androids from the G1 until last fall.

Android is a privacy nightmare, and serves no technical advantage over an iPhone. So I got an iPhone. It’s 100% as adequate of a black rectangle that runs apps as any Pixel.

It’s good if you need to protect and restrict a large group of computer illiterate people with low needs for applications or power.

What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?

Shhhh! Dammit. Now they are definitely going to realize they haven’t ruined it yet.

If you use Debian-based linux (Ubuntu, Minut, others), Mozilla recommends getting the package directly from their respository rather than flatpak or other repos.

Personally, I saw a major performance increase on my low-powered laptop when I switched from flatpak to the Mozilla package.

Back in the day, I used to grab any piece of paper, and then walk around the entire office with a slightly angry and urgent look on my face as if I was going to talk to someone important. Do a lap. Back to your desk. Job done.
