Your explanation is perfectly taut.

Am I the only one old enough to think that RCS is the great-great grand-uncle to git, and that the message protocol theyâ(TM)re talking about now needs a different TLA? Can one of you youngsters help chase these kids off my lawn?

• * Literally this poll is the reason I am installing Chrome

Not that Google is much less pushy about switching to Chrome, but if you're going to force me to answer a question before I do what I want then you should at least let me answer that your question is the reason for my decision. The same as every app I've left a negative review for.

Me: [doing what the app is intended for and generally enjoying life]

App: [interrupts with a dialog box forcing me to choose an option] Are you enjoying App?

Me: No, I am not enjoying that you interrupted what I was doing with App to force me to leave a review for it. What I was doing with App happened to be time-sensitive and important. Your idiotic interruption just cost someone's life and/or inconvenienced me in some small but perceptible way.

Why is it necessary to have something floating around inside an unmanned capsule?

Wasting insane amounts of energy is not a bug in decentralized cryptocurrency. It is a feature. In fact, it might be the only feature.

91% of the time, it works every time.

Add in that they are just a shitty bank for record-keeping. Anecdotal, but they lost a motorcycle title I'd borrowed money (from someone else; HSBC bought the loan) for and then paid off...Cause I sold the bike. They sent me a release of lein and told me to pound sand when I asked for money to cover the lost-title costs.

Don't do business with HSBC if you can avoid it.

Everybody talks about Wal-Mart being a detriment to local businesses. This should push business back to local firearms dealers, which is great for local business! Thanks, Wal-Mart!

(I don't buy my guns from chain stores.)

I've owned a few RasPis over the years...They all sit unused and I run ODROIDs of some flavor (C2, XU4, soon an N2) now. There's just no reason for me to mess with the Pis when there are much faster/better alternatives out there.

I used to maintain a few FreeBSD ports...Not nearly the scope of maintaining a full distro, but my experience was similar. One thing they didn't get into that was a big problem for me was feeling like I was responsible for the problems created by terrible OSS projects' awful RE practices...Yes, I'm looking at you, OpenArena. When the majority of the work is dealing with people that run terrible projects in order to figure out what's needed to build their terrible software cause they can't be bothered to put that information anywhere themselves---or even have an idea about it when you ask them---that's a problem that really doesn't have a good solution, yet the people packaging/porting software for individual distributions have to deal with.

See https://f6ffb3fa-34ce-43c1-939d-77e64deb3c0c.atarimworker.io/comments.... for back-story of why I'm targeting OpenArena specifically, but know that a *lot* of smaller OSS projects run the same way.

Beige-black round-logo Model M on my Mac at work and a Corsair K70 with MX Browns at home. I'd probably have a Model M at home as well, but the noise would bother my wife.

What we actually need is an emergency broadcast system that respects urgency, priority, and relevance to its audience. We have the technical capability to target an ad to me here on Facebook that knows I was shopping for a Microsoft Surface earlier this week, but somehow this is how our emergency alert system actually works:

Some grumpy old guy 200 miles away storms out of a family meal to walk to the bar. They call the police. Then they find the guy at the same bar he always goes to when he is mad at them. Then the police issue a Silver Alert to cover the entire state, just in case an elderly jerk is healthy enough to walk 200 miles across open prairie but somehow will be in a health crisis when he gets to my town. My phone and all those around me make annoying sounds. Everyone thinks there's an active shooter at the local post office and, since we all hate our local post office for losing mail and lying about it, everyone gets their own guns and heads to the post office. Two days later, the evening news (that nobody watches) reports that the Silver Alert had been issued after the guy was found at the bar, just trying to have a beer in peace away from his annoying family.

For years now, the editors have not understood science. Now, they don't even understand scientific notation.
