Hang on to your butts!

I figure they are just joking, using the opportunity to pretend-razz a boomer as satire.

I remember someone telling me they uncapped their modem and got 133 megabytes per second on an ICQ transfer. I called them on their BS, but it’s crazy that with Nvme and Fibre connections we’re finally there.

Turbo!

I don’t understand that either! Sometimes I think people are so numerally illiterate and emotionally butthurt that they completely disregard carrying and opportunity costs.

This is an over generalization. How can you support that this is true other than for yourself alone?

Sometimes the unfiltered things I discuss in private are for the purpose of getting feedback. A brainstorming space without any of the regular inhibitions censoring free thought. I’m not looking for affirmation, but genuinely want to see what the unfiltered feedback would be, and am ready to change my option on a dime.

Take this to the next level: you do this in your own mind / imagination before you speak. You think things that you don’t say. So is everything in your mind, even things you think are wrong and choose not to express, your true self? And you should be ashamed of shameful thoughts?

Also what do you even mean by “true” self? If I act differently around different groups of people, which one is true?

For one liners, this is the way.

Just a nitpick (I’m still against trickle down), but how do we know those sectors boomed from the stimulus, vs from people using those services more because they were quarantined? Video conference platforms also took off—that wasn’t from gen pop citizens spending their stimulus.

Yup! That’s what I use for all restarts and shutdowns

Wow base building and the bubble expanding? That’s decent. All part of odyssey I imagine? I’m still on horizons.

That was my take as well. She even closes with asking us if we’re reacting to actual problems, or just what people perceive as problems (in other words, spirit or letter of the “law”).

I’m on the fence. It’s a pretty subjective topic no? Public spaces will always have conflict due to many people have many preferences.

So Lexx?

Wait, no currency?

I can understand if you want to do away with stock market contract tomfoolery. But me having to barter my goods and services all the time sounds exhausting.

Yes finally! That they couldn’t just ban the fee entirely is ridiculous.

It disturbs me that there are actually humans at these banks that look at the different revenue line items and happily report how much they made from customers making simple mistakes that could be prevented with software IF statements.

What kind of updates?

This feels weird, but I agree with you, internet stranger.

I often think about this too, though a quick search about house spiders did suggest to me they have a decent chance of survival through winter. I don’t think human structures have been around long enough for species to have adapted to be dependent on them.

Yeah I agree it’s been an extreme reaction. Perfect is the enemy of good. Maybe most proton users will be willing to seek out even lesser known alternatives and even self host. But if you’re going to talk to a casual user about getting off of Gmail and then you say “Oh but not Proton” then they’re just going to stick with Gmail.

Some of the legacy keyboard shortcuts still survive to this day.

I live by Windows+R for the run dialogue.

If you populate %userprofile% with shortcuts named after keywords to your commonly used apps (eg fire.lnk for Firefox) then you can just slap Windows+R, type fire, Enter.
