The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 weeks ago:
Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.
- Comment on Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA 4 weeks ago:
Sure, I agree
- Comment on Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA 4 weeks ago:
Agreed with the privacy concerns but
So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.
This is huge when there are five 787s worth of people in line for ten passport control machines, it’s the difference between waiting half an hour in line or five minutes.
- Comment on Passport-less clearance fully available at Changi Airport, average clearance time of 10 seconds: ICA 4 weeks ago:
It is the standard means of passport control in Europe and UK, just with the passport added, but all by machine. Once they are convinced the biometrics are good enough they’ll do this too to speed things up.

- Comment on Drink it, I dare ya 4 weeks ago:
They have replaced the H in the chemical formula for water (H2O) to represent “coconut”. However, C already stands for a chemical element, carbon. That implies this product is a molecule made of two carbon atoms and one oxygen. If such a thing exists, it would be incredibly unstable and react with anything it touches; you certainly would not want to drink it.

This is satire for sure
- Comment on The US federal loophole that allows food companies to decide what's safe for you to eat 2 months ago:
That probably captures many such things but it’s not fool proof. I like to make bread with 2-4 different kinds of flour, 4-8 different kinds of seeds, a teaspoon or two of sugar to get the yeast going, sometimes milk or olive oil or another fat source. At it’s most complex it could get pretty close to 20 ingredients but I don’t feel that should be classified as ultra-processed. The kinds of ingredients used and the actual process also matters.

- Comment on Elsevier 5 months ago:
Those few top people are assholes who love the enormous power they wield over PhD students, postdocs and junior faculty, and they are usually editors on those big name journals. Unlike the people who actually do the work, they are getting paid from this system.
- Comment on Elsevier 5 months ago:
Nope, you just can’t get a job unless you suck it up and publish in these journals, because they’re already famous. And established profs use their cosy relationships with editors to gatekeep and stifle competition for their funding :(

Overestimating it a little, the construction workers just need to be good. But there are indeed literally thousands of PhDs working on it for decades, from all over the world.

- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
Ok, show me an example of teachers convincing kids to abandon their family then, since you seen to think there are so many
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
I think it’s pretty ridiculous to think that that is remotely likely. Teachers can’t just convince a kid to cut off their parents when there aren’t already extremely serious issues in the home, it’s not realistic.
- Comment on Schools in England and Wales using ‘gender toolkit’ risk being sued by parents 7 months ago:
re you saying parents shouldn’t be involved with discussions about their childs care?
I’m not op but absolutely yeah if the kid doesn’t involve their parents it’s for a good reason. They’re not reading very much between the lines, when kids are “estranged” from their parents it’s always the parents’ fault - and even if this particular case was the 0.0001% of times where it wasn’t, that wouldn’t impact what was the right thing for teachers etc to do.

Wait, there are GPs in the UK?
- Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating. 7 months ago:
The thing you’re missing is that other people come in and say the same thing as you, and when they listened to them once, they absolutely freaked the hell out, left bad reviews, maybe threatened to sue or something. So you just have to live with that unfortunately.

Just sort of picked a year that seemed like a turning point for the government ramping up the levels of depravity, and care becoming harder to get, of course there’s no black and white moment
