Things like this roll out to more people over time. It’s clearly desktop, both from the screenshots and the fact people are complaining they can’t use the scroll wheel to change the volume while hovering over the volume button. That’s a desktop thing.
That’s exactly my point? Why is the definition being asked for if, as you say, it doesn’t matter and you don’t care. They’re being asked to fulfil a task which, even if fulfilled, will be ignored. That to me is a bad argument.
I’m not asking for my comment to be restored, I couldn’t care less, but I just want to say anyone that read it could clearly see it was not gatekeeping. I was saying it’s not a good argument that someone can’t use a word based on whether another person can define it a certain way, not the other way around. Basically the opposite of gatekeeping. My other comment makes this even clearer.
At every store near me they’ll use your reusable bags if you have them.
I disagree with your assessment of lines unless the store is simply doing it wrong. I have 3 stores I use that are self checkout only, and the only times there are lines at all are “rush hours” such as when everyone is finishing work, and the lines used to be FAR worse at that time. It’s a line of like 5 people waiting at most, not per checkout, in total. Before self serve it was a minimum of 5 per checkout, so like 20+ people waiting total.
The fact is they’re able to fit 6 self checkouts in the space there used to be 2 manned checkouts, even if they’re being fairly inefficient with space. So they get rid of 4 manned and have 12 self serve (real example of 2 of them did), and people can be 3x as slow with no extra build up.
OK first I have no problem with language evolving. I have no problem with trans people using the word man, woman or whatever else for themselves as they feel comfortable. I have no problem with new words being defined or old words being redefined. That’s not really my issue.
My issue is making the argument that trans people should or shouldn’t be able to use the word on the basis that someone else can or can’t define it in such a way that would exclude them but not others. Can you really say with absolute certainty, with infinite time and space, such a definition could not theoretically exist? That it isn’t in the realm of possibility? And whether it can or can’t exist, should it really define whether they can or can’t use a word?
Also out of curiosity, because as you said it’s not really the point, but regarding the cars, is that really a certainty, including all cars throughout history, all custom home made and kit cars, all foreign cars, specialised race cars, electric cars, they will ALL definitely fit into a single neat set of regulations/definition?

I mean, there’s a lot of things you can do for free that we pay people for. They’ve put together a device that is preloaded with a ton of information. To do this yourself would probably take most people a week or 2, at best a weekend if you worked hard and had pre-existing knowledge and a fast connection. Maybe longer depending how they modified the raspberry pi, though you don’t necessarily need it to do everything they made it do.
You’d pay in this range for someone to clean your house for a few hours. You can also do that free. It’s the convenience you’re paying for.
Well while I respect what is probably a privacy or ad block angle, it’s a bit unfair to complain about something not working well for you when you’re not using it the official way, and likely actively making it worse at profiling you.
Interesting, I’ve always found it to work incredibly well for me, to the point I generally only watch the stuff it recommends. Like, out of the 6 videos it shows me, maybe 1 every now and then is something I don’t care about. But like, if there’s 4-5 ones I’m interested in out of 6, I think that’s pretty good, and the 2 wild cards are how I tend to find new stuff to be interested in.
I live in Australia. We are widely known for our quality and variety of both coffee and beer, and I can tell you I’m in the same boat as the other guy. It doesn’t matter what flavours you try to use to mask it, the bad taste of the beer or coffee still comes through. I imagine it’s like those people that say cilantro tastes like soap, and even a small amount in a dish makes the entire thing taste like soap, even if they didn’t know it was in there.
Didn’t you hear? Baywatch.
If people were actually ready instead of all talk, there would already be riots and such. No one is actually uncomfortable enough to entertain the idea of real sacrifice yet. To lose the life they have, or potentially their actual life, to fight the oppression that’s started/is coming.
I think at this point the only thing that would actually make it hit boiling point is mass joblessness/homelessness/starvation. People have to really feel it and have almost nothing to lose to really start caring.
I think their point is a shitty doctors diagnosis is just as invalid as self diagnosis, not the other way around. A misdiagnosis can be more harmful than no diagnosis. A diagnosis isn’t valid just because a doctor told you so, it’s valid if it’s correct.
Would most people notice that? Would they say something if they did? If this particular warranty is mileage based, I’d keep my mouth shut if mine was abnormally low. It’s not like it’s something that affects the functioning of the car, and has other potential advantages like higher resale value.
And even if you said something, who is going to report on it? This is news because it’s gone to court. You’re not going to try to take them to court for it being low. At best you’ll just try to get it fixed.
I’m not saying this isn’t something they would do, I just don’t necessarily think we’d definitely see reports of it being low, even if it was happening.
If they were actually doing this, and actually being smart about it though, they’d have it go over at a rate of say, 30% of cars, and under at a rate of like 10% of cars so they’d still come out on top but actually have it seem to be randomly faulty.
Guess I have at least 2 movies to add to my watch list. Maybe 5.
I got an Optoma projector for the bedroom that I love. It’s about $1000 USD. Is that on the high end? I guess. I’d call it medium. But I know many people that spend that much and more on their TV. Works pretty well even in day/with the light on, obviously far better with the room darkened, and even has a gaming optimised mode.
Because there’s no easy way to install it. TVs don’t usually have a data transfer usb-c port.
Yeah I had enough of their crap to the point I got an addon that removes them from search/image results.
