I wanted to reply like what is below but got cold feet. But thanks.

>>> Facebook introduced .. ppl to xyz topics ..

I possibly belong to this set. Could it be that this goes way back when people got hold of religous text and learn to read it and discuss about it?

Re:Love Song to Costco on Monday July 11, 2022 @01:40AM (#32052626)
Enjoyed the post.

I shop at Costco for

- wine, single malt, brandy, cheese, and bread

- sea food, mutton, sardines, tuna, canned stuff, tomato and citrus fruits

- dog food and bird feed

And of course their food court pizza + hot dogs

Great place.

>> rc cola .. blah blah

Genuine question. Did rc-cola make claim that it is same/close as real cola ? Seem more like taste issue than durian-2-durian compare.

Itching to buy a system76 64gb laptop and let go of mbp (good), and the idiotic lenevo and thinkpad (32gb duds.)

disclaimer — I work mostly console.

For topics france24.com seem reasonable for me. I’m interested mostly international topics.

Clear title and short description no bias listed vertical I prefer.

Wish there is (like reader view) a browser built-in for view facts, opinions, what others are saying —- as researched expressed by the author of each article.

Seems asymmetrical the way it’s phrased.

Did you simply mean to say both fucked up?

Sleazy company hijacked Cliff Stoll’s Amazon Klein bottle listing.

To me “foreign seller” implies Amazon sellers/buyers has some sort of national context?

Note: I do feel bad hijacking happens in Amazon.

There was also OLE before ActiveX/COM and later DCOM. But the DLL’s were always a constant.
>>> atrophy

Have you consider team atrophy as a pre-existing/chronic condition which maynot have cure?

Thank you for this. I did try a few combinations and it does sound funny in my head. Wondering how this ordering evolved for a non-native speaker like me. I did not hear or know about this rule.

An alt-side is never ending pleasure of closing laptop at the bell .. in anticipation of bbq, wine, family, and friends. Knowing fully well it’s ephemeral. IMO there is no doom and gloom in this view.
I unerstood your frustration. But can bribe be fair based on it’s potential to offer better experience — just for educated people ?

>>> employees need to be fired... but sometimes management also needs restructuring

Don’t get the asymmetry. Why no firing for mgmt?

Expanding on (1) with few more ideas.

- Use social media personalities to present and spread news

- Informecials as a medium

- Run adwords

>>> Kind of reminds of the policy and value networks in alpha go.

What is alpha go? Is it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaGo ?

It’s a downer or maybe withdrawl symptoms (not working from office.) Related, wish I could have nail down the 20% stuff at work that got me the 80% high.
