Fantastic explanation and critical thinking process. Well done.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 week ago:
And this is why my wife and I homeschool our kids. It’s all about teaching critical thinking. They’re so far beyond their peers in public schools it’s not even close. NCLB was one of the worst decisions for our society in centuries.
- Comment on Todays touchscreen UI's are so forcefed with slide-options, widgets, AI assistants, popup UI's and auto- correct/translate... 3 weeks ago:
You nailed it. Nothing is more infuriating than a UI element moving as soon as you go to tap it and you now miss tap something else. I echo stop re-arranging my shit!!

Excellent rescission and partnership. See corporation, this is what a leader looks like.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, not seeing this as the big bad everyone thinks it is. We regularly have Teams meetings with other companies when they’re sharing their proprietary info. I’m okay with a screen capture disabling function just like we’d want to use from time to time.

That’s only assuming the observer is at the location of the source of the light.

Some older, some younger, yeah.
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 4 weeks ago:
100% they will and want this. I’m a power user and even I see this as the future.
Have you worked in a non-tech field with people? Modern OSs and office apps are not intuitive to them. Hell, a lot have problems with just their phones as is.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 5 weeks ago:
When I go running the phone stays gone. It forces you to be present where you are. Very freeing.
- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 5 weeks ago:
Disagree. Really depends on the hair. Rotary pulls mine. I switched to foil a long time ago and haven’t had issues since.

Fantastic one liner. Absolutely stealing this.

And blackjack and hookers … oh wait, that’s the southwest.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 1 month ago:
China. Military has been gearing up to defend Taiwan for years and the intervention has been moved up to only 2 years from now.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 1 month ago:
I mean, every time we hire a new manager (not high level mind you) we tell them that whatever they communicate digitally, they better be comfortable with it being read in court. Billionaires really have fuck your level of money. They just don’t care to think at all, and they’re okay with that. Gross.
- Comment on An Ars Technica history of the Internet, part 1 1 month ago:
I, too, thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I’ve read a lot of internet histories. Author did an amazing job at making it a fun read while putting the facts out there.
- Comment on How do I stop having expectations at the workplace? 1 month ago:
Not all workplaces are like this but a large majority are. People suck at great management.
On a specific to your career note, my wife has been an RN for decades at this point, 10 years at a local hospital. Management was trash there. Her co-workers were great but they made the job suck. They blamed the C-suite (yay, capitalism). What really got her was that she never felt backed by management and when a patient would outright lie, they’d back the patient every time. She left the hospital system to work for a private endo/gastro clinic and she said she should have made that decision years prior. She gets paid less than she would at a hospital but she happy and loves her coworkers and the docs that own the practice. They’ve won multiple awards and are top in the region.
Get the hell out of the hospital and find a great private practice. They’re out there and always looking for great nurses.
Good luck friend.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 1 month ago:
Unless it’s just plain old stock market manipulation with a twist.
- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 1 month ago:
Use LocalSend. It’s open source and works great on all devices and platforms.
- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 1 month ago:
This is not accurate. It uses BT to establish the connection and then it transfers the data over peer to peer WiFi, which is why it’s so much faster than Bluetooth File Transfer.
- Comment on am i stupid or are solar panel's efficiency independent on latitude 1 month ago:
Really great visuals.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 1 month ago:
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 1 month ago:
This is accurate. I have a decent amount of Republican family and friends and this week was the first time I’d seen them go, “wait, oh HELL no.” I mean there is now a Republican group that is suing this administration for not following due process and circumventing Congress. That says a lot.
Just think about a retiree boomer who had their savings wiped out. What’s left to lose? Personally, I think there is a Julius Ceasar moment coming. Not condoning that but the writing is on the wall.
- Comment on Teardown Of A Scam Ultrasonic Cleaner 1 month ago:
Real ones are great but definitely more expensive. My wife has one that uses liquid and she puts jewelry in. Works extremely well.
- Comment on Teardown Of A Scam Ultrasonic Cleaner 1 month ago:
Not this.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 1 month ago:
Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.
