They’re speaking specifically about the TV series.

Your point about inflation is such a clear observation that it seems self-evident, and yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen decline in product quality linked explicitly to causing skewed inflation numbers (and even skewed productivity numbers) before. Would be fun to see a same-quality inflation index, as tricky as that would be.

I took it as more like, people might kinda think to themselves, “this shirt was made by my friend with time and love instead of just, you know, coming off the production line” as if mass produced clothing is just made by some big corporate machine. But of course someone somewhere is actually putting in work to make a shirt for you, always.

If Trump does accidentally manage to unite Europe, have them end the Ukraine war, and all without US involvement and spending… he will of course immediately claim full credit.

Also worth noting that Prey (2006) started development in 1995.

If you mean literally you can only bring them half way together, try just moving twice as far away.

See the note at the end of the article. It’s a real number but with some of the digits in the middle edited out of the recording.

It’s often wrong anyway. Much like you, the thing that annoys me most about it though is all the power they must be using having it run on every single search by anyone.
Great work. When sending a video to someone else, how is the sound created - does your app convert the midi to audio with its built-in piano sound?

It’s only just come out, not many have played it yet.
Microwaves that are just time and power setting, cooktops that are just four knobs, ovens that are just mode and heat, maybe a simple timer… I’d buy those too.

I suppose thinner people do probably walk their dogs more often…

It’s a parody of the writing style of the article itself, all excitement and noise, saying little to nothing.

When I used it a few years ago it was still possible to use without an account if you knew the exact extremely-hidden-behind-dark-patterns steps, much like making a local account in Windows these days. But from the other comments in this thread I get the impression that even that tricky process is no longer an option.
The question is, why do lifts require Crowdstrike?
Less planes and more expensive tickets?

You can make a local git repo without having a remote server. Then they’re backing it up off site with iCloud.
I didn’t read the parent comment as making any particular judgement apart from the one that Islam in France is an unusual and unnecessary topic for Elon to be getting himself publicly involved in.
I don’t know much about how the fediverse thing works. Would it be theoretically possible to have something kind of like how torrents work, with some central list of all servers acting as the “tracker list”?:

- Servers choose what they want to host and what their personal bandwidth limit is

- A user visiting a specific subforum automatically downloads from whatever servers are currently available to serve it

Then you’d never have to manually choose a server.

Dell might as well have had the same VP at that time, but to differentiate they instead went with generally useless bundled desktop software like the Dell Stage and Dell Dock.
Re:Vertiwalk Vertical Walking on Saturday November 20, 2021 @01:43PM (#29290688)
Haha, okay good point, what I proposed is pretty much an overly complex ladder isn’t it. In my defence, unlike a ladder it would allow you to stand straight up and - as the other comment mentioned - use your arms for other things.

I wonder if a faster solution for more able-bodied people would be, instead of having a platform for sitting and a platform for standing, you could have two small platforms, one for each foot.

It’d be essentially like walking up stairs, but on the spot.
