  rational discourse on IRC

  Hahahahahahahaha

  To be fair all the “dancing around and jumping through hoops” is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New idea ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more curious how a hot water main works? Is there just millions of miles of heated pipes underground? And I thought a gas boiler was inefficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just playing devil’s advocate but that’s 0.40 to you, but to a server who might wait on 100 people a week, that’s $40.

  Brain surgery is like a fart, putting it off for too long is going to cause major health issues.

  I don’t want to spend any time with my in-laws and I’m over 40.

  I suspect you don’t have kids? Most schools require a laptop (usually Chromebooks). What do you do then other than parental controls?

  Took a bit to make Gemini understand who I was talking about but this was it’s first result

  Sharp wit, keenest eye, Tech truths told with soothing voice, Brownlee’s insights reign.

  The NBA requires players to suit up when arriving at a game. Some MLB teams require pretty strict dress codes (famously the Yankees and facial hair).

  Organized sports can be weird to say the least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how did you master splits (for flexibility)?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Started getting into martial arts a few years ago (late in life). Stretch and train almost every day, I’m nowhere near close to being able to do a split. At some point, it definitely takes more than just practice.

  I’m not saying it isn’t possible, I’ve seen guys older than me do it, but age, sex and past experience and training definitely play large factors. My wife doesn’t stretch at all, hasn’t exercised on a regular basis since she was in highschool (she was in cheer) and she could get a LOT closer to a full split than I can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phonebooks⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was more than just the phone books. Back before smart phones, if you needed to look up a phone number you’d call information (411) and they’d look it up for you. For instance, if you were stuck on the side of the road and needed a tow truck.

  Information would be able to look up businesses close to where you were using the NPA/NXX of the phone number you were calling from (the first six digits of the number including the area code) and then give you a couple options in alphabetical order.

  I had a client who had a phone number in every exchange in NYC and had a name like “AAA Towing” so no matter where in NYC you called information for a tow truck from, they’d usually be the first option given to you.
