- Comment on Apple will reportedly start stuffing ads into the Maps app 1 week ago:
OSMAnd+ is a good app. Using openmaps. You often Ned the address of where you are going since place searches of businesses may no come up. But the navigation has been good.

Won’t anyone think about the oil?

Chav doesn’t mean poor. A Chav is the obnoxious self entitled type that wants to be trouble. Picture a younger “Karen” but with more energy and probably sports ware or clubbing outfit

Aka how to make it worse
- Comment on spoopy figs 3 weeks ago:
Yeah it changed my love of figs a bit. Fig Newtons…now with 25% less wasps.
- Comment on spoopy figs 3 weeks ago:
Its not 100% accurate. Some wasps get trapped, not all. And there exists a fig species that doesn’t need wasps
- Comment on TrueNAS build system going closed source 4 weeks ago:
I’m running an early version of that on a 16 year old ARM board NAS, the NAS has 256MB of RAM and OpenMediaVault runs great on it.
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 4 weeks ago:
They can’t be a 10, only framework gets a 10. Nothing compares.

My memory was fuzzy, but I think it wasn’t UEFI but apps/drivers, but j could be wrong
- Comment on Streaming services have made music both better and worse 4 weeks ago:
I had a Sony CD walkman, a later model with read ahead buffer. It did OK for normal walking.

You take it with you like the good old days
- Comment on This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks 5 weeks ago:
It said milk protein, they were specifically talking about dairy milk, and not soy protien
- Comment on This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks 5 weeks ago:
I would hope so, but no dairy alternative has seemed to replicate milk protein properly. But I’m sure there will be q day to replicate it almost exactly as it is.
- Comment on This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks 5 weeks ago:
While neat, it still seems like poor stewardship. Rather than some easy cultivated fiber product you have to raise dairy cows and extract milk for a disposable plate. Seems like poor life cycle cost tally

That’s my wife.

Yes thus my first statement that their comparison was off. I wasn’t sure if they are trying to trick the reader, or just bad conversion

Trump said that too, but nothing happened

I know, not my speculation, it was we conspiracy theory

Apparently just days before the shooting he told parties involved he would no longer tow the Israel line
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 1 month ago:
No, I was like 40 at my kids baseball game and she was under 20. Just a good parlor trick
- Comment on Can people irl be as mean as some people online? 1 month ago:
Yes. Some people are just assholes and don’t care what they say or do. Online anonymity let’s people who are too afraid of consequences (in real life) be assholes too.
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 1 month ago:
I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.
So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo…the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 1 month ago:
Might take more than centuries, but yes.
We have a rescue dog from Korea as well as some neighbours ( not a standard breed, but a Korean Village dog, they basically live alongside humans as a breed but developed their own way). They are much different than “normal” dogs. They are more like cats. Their way on their terms. Like other dogs, don’t enjoy humans much. So even though they are domesticated, they still show the old lineage of being independent. My dogs idea of a good time is never chasing a stick or ball, but finding the highest vantage point at a park and watching everyone. A carryover from watching the plains from the hillside, or something.
- Comment on ESL homework 1 month ago:
I don’t think bad marks were justified. This is how I see every interaction go with polyglot colleagues, its like a modem handshake and they settle into the most comfortable common language
- Comment on ESL homework 1 month ago:
What was interesting about my son with down syndrome: as he learned to read he became a master at reading cursive…somehow.
We’d hand him Christmas cards that we struggled to read from old European relatives(that wrote in older script) and somehow he’d read it off no problem.
My guess is words always needed decoding for him and context played a role in guessing the word, so it became a skill somehow
