Aluminum straw is the clear and superior alternative

The question I have is whether there is a means of disabling that download or preventing that functionality.

Not that surprising when you consider the monumental investments. It's heinous but right in line with modern corporate business ethics.

I've done as you described and then edited it down to sound human again.

Whether it is or isn't happens to be beside the point. It's water being removed from the system en masse for a non-essential function, i.e. other than sustaining life, while driving up the cost of other utilities.

If we're trying to deny the usage "tier," I'd argue we're being intentionally obtuse at worst and foolish at best.

100%. I was always told to slice the PSD, fireworks never entered the conversation in the agency world I was a part of.

They could be bothered if they weren't indirectly (or directly, I imagine) on the dole.

While factually true, your answer lacks context awareness and decorum. It's not appropriate for this discussion in my opinion.

Won't the SD card data decay in a relatively short time? Maybe convert some part of that video into a flipbook for another piece of physical media?

We call that New Jersey here!

Some of the items listed in the "takes time" list say the beginning are not great examples. They are better emblems of artificial scarcity, especially Hermes bags.

Etymology is not usage though. I get where you're coming from, but fighting vernacular is all but useless outside of academia.

MacOS only, I gather? That's too bad. My next machine will be Linux, and I rather like the concept of the application.

Strawberry Clock is our king!

This feels like ragebait (rage bait?) for people that enjoy language and words. The leading example is nonsense.

We're not even going to sniff the heat death. We're busy speed running extinction.

I hear what you're saying, but routines, especially long-lived, are difficult to break/change. It's normal to have phantom limbs when they are cut off.

Do we live in The Expanse universe now?

I love the concept, but I have one gripe: the subscription email is coming from a Gmail address, so I have no trust. I'd love to see it coming from the same domain. Also, it went to spam.

Cool. I'll just go ahead and delete my account.

They are more likely trying to race towards wildly overinflated government contracts because they aren't going to profit how they're currently operating without some of that funny money.

If you bought a license from a physical store - depending on the language of that license - yes, it would entitle you.

I think calling it nostalgia is a bit too charitable. I see it more as a delusion.

It seems like a reasonable proxy, but I would assume that general reduction of smartphone usage improves mental health.

Why does this feel like an ad? I've seen pangram mentioned a few times now, always with that tagline. It feels like a marketing department skulking around comments.

If you don't create the ticket, it may never get done, too! That not doing the thing might lead to convincing others the thing needs to be done which directly leads to doing the thing.

It may not be doing the thing, but it enabled the thing to be able to be done at all. Cheers to the precursors, the planners and the annotators. Through you, more things are done.

So we're the spotter in that metaphor. I like it!

Of which, perhaps, the author isn't aware? Perhaps the author has very narrow experience in programming languages.

Or it's hyperbolic.

Physical feels that way to me sometimes. In the US, I get assaulted on a constant basis by mailers and ads for things I never expressed any interest in. Waste of time, waste of paper, waste of resources.

I think you would be more accurate to say 'communicate the thought' as opposed to 'express the thought'. Communication carries the explicit desire to have an idea be shared. Expression carries no shared understanding and is personal.

The author expressed the thought in a valid way because we understood their words, but they did not communicate it well because we are confused about their understanding of those ideas.
