In my main space there's an "Imported Bookmarks" folder in the side bar. Yes it takes up 1 "tab space" but it's there, and doesn't really bother me. If you change spaces it's not there, so you can have "bookmarks" for each space, which is unique and beneficial if you use spaces for specific things.

That said, I primarily use Safari still, until other browsers adopt the SMS autofill of two factor codes it's going to be tough to leave Safari for personal use. Professional use I generally use chrome, as it's tied to our work google account.

Does threads not use the same usernames as Instagram? Like if I sign up, using my instagram account it wouldn't be the same?

I revert back to my Magic Mouse because I love the touch gestures, but most can be recreated with vertical mouse. I use the Logitech one, it's nice, but the 1 or 2 finger gestures on the Magic Mouse are too nice and can't be replicated on any other mouse, I always revert back to it. I actually rotate the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and Logitech mx vertical, usually last a few weeks or a month before switching to another.
This is exactly what happened.

The Solar factory didn't really take off like expected so to hit that job requirement they staffed it with extremely low skill jobs. The article nicely calls them analysts but they're simple data labelers. They look at a picture, make a box around a stop sign and tell the computer that is a stop sign, then do the same with a speed limit sign, then on to the next item in the picture (curb, deer, tree, lines, etc)... then repeat the same process for the next photo. These people do not need to be in buffalo to do this job, but Tesla does need humans to do it, and primarily Americans where they understand the culture and general rules of the road.

Robertson is an upgrade from Phillips for sure, but it's not even in the same league as Torx. I've laid down many decks using Robertson and Torx. Robertson bits or heads strip fairly easy. I've used the same Torx bit on multiple decks, where I'd probably go through 5-10 Robertson bits per deck.

Some people will argue that's simply incrementation and not innovation, even though there's serious innovation needed to jump from 10nm to 5nm architecture.

Even at that, if you want to simply do 'novel innovation' in things that are truly new or change your process...you can get phones with folding screens these days, that's pretty cool and wild to think about.

The fight against universal healthcare has nothing to do with actual costs, and everything to do with employer provided benefits. If you need to get benefits from your employer, it requires you to take jobs that are less favorable or desirable, or prevents you from leaving your current one because you're afraid of losing healthcare.
I love bagless, it is perfect for my use case. I have Huskies and fill up the canister multiple times per vacuuming of the house. The majority of my vacuuming is just picking up hair, not dirt. I'd fill bags up so quickly, and I've yet to find one that is replaceable as quick as a bagless canister can be emptied.

It's not a sham, different use cases call for different things.

They're talking Miele, which most likely means canister vacuums. The two of you have very different mentality / approaches to vacuuming...and that's totally OK.
Re:New Jersey bans paper bags on Tuesday May 17, 2022 @09:47AM (#31410548)
I'd agree with this 10-15 years ago. But in the past decade the single use bags most places use are too thin and fragile, carrying most simple things puncture a hole in them. Walmart bags basically have holes in them from just opening them up.

It's definitely re-use. Otherwise they'd be purchasing another bag to dispose of dog poop.

Isn't the stereotype that every tech bro in silicon valley only wears lululemon? $50 t-shirts and $130 pants don't exactly scream lowest cheapest grade to me.
I don't wear Bombas, but i do wear Darn Tough socks, which are in a similar price range as Bombas. I can say, all their socks, especially the thinner socks from Darn Tough are 1000x more comfortable and durable than any 'traditional' sock brand.

That said, I consider them a luxury and not a necessity. If I had a tighter budget, I'd have no issue wearing traditional brands, but I do enjoy the extra comfort.

Also, with Darn Tough the socks have a lifetime guarantee, so in theory I shouldn't have to ever buy socks again. Generally the socks I've gotten from walmart/tj maxx/any department store the elastic starts to go after a few years.

Re:Outlook just asked me if I want to upgrade to bigger ads on Friday February 18, 2022 @04:27PM (#30391333)
There is also a third choice, you can get Office 365 and remove ads completely. Companies cannot be expected to give away services for free, so if you're not directly sending them money, somebody else is sending them money for you to use it.
There's no greater motivator than telling somebody they can't do something they want to do.
