  Americans still actively use telephony services?

  I just don’t use the Phone and SMS apps. Haven’t for years. It’s old tech that’s only used by bits and scammers.

  Get with the times.

  I don’t even know if I pronounce it right. Is it like libré or is it more like a lobster-tiger hybrid? Or a Lemur-cobra.hybtid?

  Also, if they’re watching, the themes still make the UI all funky unless it’s on the default—at least for Calc, anyway.

  If they unloaded the goods to another truck really fucking fast, maybe. Otherwise they’re just being recorded on top of a giant GPS beacon that’s alerting a system that something abnormal is happening so rally nearby law enforcement. It’d way easier to hold up a bookies, with a shotgun, Saul.

  I supported my local instead. 50 mins of lining up to the booths, I wasn’t gonna line up any longer for a snag made by child labour, so got a delicious sausage roll from the bakery instead.

  Good to see America’s stance on tolerating hate crimes toward Palest- oh, wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever I get a sofa, I just make sure the arm rests are squared and put a coaster on that. It’s like having a little shelf for everything. People that gets rounded arm rests are fools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 9th planet in our solar system might be found — and no, it’s not Pluto⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His calculations suggested the body would be on a much greater tilt than the solar system’s plane and would orbit in a different direction from the known planets.

  So almost certainly not a planet. But it sounds like it’s something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come, child, I have the best vintage of eggo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t believe eggs come in that size, are.for regular customers, and there’s plenty missing. My household couldn’t get through a quarter of that before they went off. You’d want to be freezing them—which makes for shit egg cooking later—or just really fuckin’ love eggs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t really imagine people wanting to hijack a truck that’s basically a giant camera and tracking sysystem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, it roll much easier off my tongue much easierthan “pet peeve.”

  I’m reminded of this legendary bit.

  English by country or region is a bit of a hoot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think 'peeve’is more American because it’s modern American-informal from ‘peevish’ so it’s not caught on much in other countries. You’d probably.also be confused by ‘pet aversion’ which is actually the original and popular term, with a pet hate being the most slack of the two pets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My pet hate. People That Type Like This, Causing The Inner Dialogue To Jar Each Word And Confuse Titles And Names Amongst Regular Words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I grow a lot of my food in a fairly small space, and it’s quite easy. There’s also a community garden a few blocks away. Everything else is avoiding franchise supermarkets as they seem to have the worst quality at the highest price for meats, baked goods, etc. So I’m rarely doing a grocery shop and notice my money goes much slower.

  If you’re struggling to get groceries, assess your receipt and look for alternatives. Reducing spend while increasing quality is definitely a thing with staples.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems right to me. Think in centuries and not your lifetime. Your lifetine is more likely to span two centuries, so while the 1950s was just recently, you’ll be in the 2050s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I will. I’m getting along in years and am about to pick up split boarding for backcountry. I could learn to just ski, but I’ve lived life surfing and skating, so I picked up snowboarding real fast and been doing that a while now.

  Kinda always been into the idea of towing with a snow mobile too, so maybe I can afford that around then haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t act your age. Get to a point where you’re so dismissive of your age you have to think hard about what your age actually is.

  If I stopped and started doing things based on what I’m meant to do at an age, I’d be a miserable piece of shit. I just do and think what I want. When I’m 60, I’ll still be learning and doing what I want because I rejected the idea that I’m too old or too young for something.

  Rather than setting sights on what you want to achieve, set sights on what you never want to become. The rest just flows around that and happiness is always there because you’ve identified what unhappiness is and stayed clear of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Confirmed. New to the concept of AI.

  A link to an LLM back end that’s not even in code.

  And a link to something AI has been used for for years, just as I mentioned in my OC, but you’ve been hyperfixated on Clippy, so unsurprisingly things have whooshed past you. A traveller shone light on your magic and you don’t want to accept it’s not magic.

  Also, I assume you have subscriptions or single pay options for papers, or at least access to a university that can get them for you at the normal fees?

  Since you Google things and share them with me like they’re of any value, you can use Google to learn more about that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. I even currently work at a university and am on the committee for AI so I can get a few of the others to share theirs on Monday too.
