I would ask you to let me type letters in arbitrary boxes (out of order) to I can more easily construct words.

It's pretty difficult to juggle the letters without placing them.

If you're Google you could transcribe and summarize all videos on upload for easier consumption, but then you lose your ad revenue so...

I quite enjoy that the "animate wheels" button animates the sun instead.

Blast, tricked into learning by making you think you're cheating!

I wish this had shown the modern interface for contrast with the others.

I have no idea what the current Xbox UI looks like, so while I appreciate the legacy console examples I would have liked the reference point.

I actually prefer the result of the first down sampling. The "metallic" steps remind me acutely of old NES game 8bit audio.

Maybe I'm out of the loop here, but scanning over this I can't help but ask myself: "Why Jujutsu?"

I don't understand what the point is over just using git. The top intro defined some JJ names for git things, but it's not clear why I would want or need this. What problem does it solve with using git?

That's news to me. Do you have a source for that I can look at? Not being snarky. I would legitimately like to read more about this.

Very curious what you expect to move to. The market outside those options is extremely limited.

This is why we need to pass right to repair (or modify) legislation , return control over your own belongings.

This must supersede any TPM/copyright restrictions or other encumbrances.

The telltale sign for me is that chopping an onion causes the layers to separate from pressure before the knife starts to cut in. Super dangerous.

Yea we should change that. Corporate life without parole: sorry, you don't get to be a business anymore, bye.

Not a an expert in this area at all, but I suspect there's an aspect here if maintaining productive capacity to replace imported food, if that became unavailable. Cursory searching suggests US food exports are similar in scale to food imports. Roughly speaking, with some adaptation that export capacity could be redirected for domestic nutrition.

If, in contrast, you let those farms and skill dry up it would be difficult to rebuild quickly.

Because it's bad for consumers to lose choices, even if they don't normally exercise those choices. The choice is the distributed power we have against the consolidated corporate power. We can choose not to let them restrict those choices, for example with interoperability regulations.

There is interest, but thanks to DMCA 1201 they put a thin veneer of encryption on it and suddenly it's a felony to make/use that third party tool.

This a real loss. I'll miss Glitch for rapid experimentation with UI and APIs together.

I imagine with something like:

Person name, Local-area name, Region Name, Country name, Phone number

This gets it to the nearest handler to the local area, who then needs to know where the person lives or call them.

If chrome were split out (and subsequently stopped giving Google direct access to user data), Google would need them too. It would impact all ad players equally.

This is widely understood to mean "free to the patient at time of use/need". Stop being deliberately obtuse.

Last year the second largest outlay behind social security was the interest payment at a trillion dollars. This is a trillion dollars that cannot be used to provide government services.

This is just very much not the case. The government can always spend to meet obligations unless it chooses not to, whether that's interest on unnecessary bonds or social security benefits. Any restriction on the arbitrary total "debt" is a self-imposed farce and should all stop playing along.

Presenting a problem of tension for dollars is a tool used to justify withholding delivering services people want and need. It's a choice, when really the only scarcity is resources.

Agreed. Sorry I had misunderstood your message as advocating for stopping the service.

Care to try to explain how that would be a positive change for America?

What? Why?

Dying or becoming disable long term are also pretty bad for socializing. Anyone trying to take reasonable precautions for themselves or to protect vulnerable people around them has pretty much been jettisoned by society. Restaurants and bars are not the only way to socialize, but being unwilling to participate in those becomes a social death sentence.

I have a pet hypothesis that there is high correlation between the people choosing precautions and those who did the social & emotional labour of organizing and cohering in the before times. I'm not suggesting anything has stopped, clearly it hasn't. But it does sound like what remains is a thinner gruel barely covering the bottom of the pot.

What were the drawbacks? I guess, what motivated the revert.

I disagree with you that you are not a good communicator. While I am generally science literate, I know roughly nothing about this field. I found your comment clear and relatively easy to read, if a little dense with field-specific terminology.

I think you conveyed the necessary context well. Thanks for taking the time to do so.

The comment was merely illustrating the concept in general being used on planes, or at least that's how I read it.

Same. Thankfully, the post explains it as needing to drill open the PVC drain pipe under a sink where the washer drain pipe connects, inside a pre-formed attachment point. See "Solution 5" through "Solution 6".

If your washer is draining and working, there's no latent issue to worry about.

The retail price, or the actual cost to deliver? Those are not the same thing. Cost to deliver could actually mean something. Retail pricing is approximately meaningless.

Ditto that. Hours and hours on these in the 1990s.

Mostly Mathville and Offshore Fishing, of course.
