It would be vastly more efficient if we just gave corps their profits up front instead of waiting around for them to sell us crap we don't want.

good.

As far as I can tell, dietary science is not science at all. There are a number of factors that are basically impossible to control for, and there's a deeply instilled idea of "you are what you eat" in the simplest interpretation. Ultimately, I just avoid added sugar, and mostly eat what I like. Worst case I'll die having enjoyed desert.

Is that for fake 5G or real 5G?

Navigating to the Bill of Rights paged mentioned in TFS leads to an essentially empty page. If I can't see my rights without registering, that's a nope. Maybe it's just a broken page? Not very confidence inspiring.

They've done this to PDX too. Nothing but left lane parkers now. Speed up or move over you dawdlers!

Hiring temp labor during the holiday season will be hard for anyone who doesn't meet or beat Amazon's minimum wage.

Yes yes! Thank you thank you!

Management lies and incompetence.

Unfortunately, the position I went to was also a lie and run by incompetents. At this point, I'm just following money because that's the only thing that isn't a lie from management and business people. Those bastards are all just liars, in every company, at every level.

I've had a couple of Wednesdays off this past month. It's wonderful. I'm contemplating figuring out how I can do that permanently.

hmmm... I wonder how that plays out.

beat me to the punch on the extreme amount of mouse movement. From a high level the interface looks kinda nice actually (though it's not something I'd use -- dedicated xmonad user here). Simple, clean and context sensitive, I guess. But holy crap as soon as I tried the mock-up I was immediately annoyed at how far I had to move the mouse!

Granted, for tablet use it probably helps prevent fat-fingering, and makes some sense, but I don't see myself spending most of my time at a tablet for the foreseeable future.

Epyks-libre. It's Epyk!

It's the beeping, THE BEEPING!! from all the UPSs in my apartment, and my upstairs neighbor.

All the beeping, and blinking, and flashing and beeping...

In my experience (not as credible as yours, but 20yrs on the street including a stint as a messenger in DC), the amount of counter-steer needed is minimal. Often just a whisper of pressure on the inside hand will induce a turn. I totally believe, though haven't tried, the welded headset trick works fine, but probably requires more pressure to actually force the lean..

From my observations, the counter steering is just to move the front wheel out from under the center of gravity thus inducing lean and subsequent turning where the CG moves back over the wheel. The inside pressure makes the front wheel move slightly in the opposite direction, unbalancing the system and allowing the lean.

very much my anecdotal observations... but it's fun to play with little tiny countersteer pressures and see the results.
