I’m curious about something.

I fully understand your sentiment of things that don’t need to be smart, being “smart”. I have never connected my TV to the internet, because fuck that. I think there’s a bunch of things that are getting crap they don’t need layered on, all to mine more data

That said, what’s the issue with the TV not updating to the latest software? Isn’t that basically the same as a TV that never needed updates? No chance of a new feature, ever?

The key difference is the spyware, but that wasn’t what frustrated you, specifically.

Sure, but that’s only because you can’t drive to Europe. Not because England is an island?

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

The made up one

But… You can drive to England, if you are already in europe.

This was a really cool video!

I think it’s super cool you would do drugs every 4th of july

I’m not an antivaxxer, but I do believe in informed consent. So:

No.

There’s generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.

Noted exceptions being if it’s not a massive bolus of people trying to leave or also if the walk side is fully saturated with walkers.

So VPN first then Tor is ill advised for this, or only the reverse? What is the potential attack in running Tor while on VPN?

So really, “no value in mixing,” which is distinct from “don’t mix.”

The latter implies a security risk could be created.

This is the direct opposite of the saying.

If you try 1000 different combinations of bulb design you are not doing the same thing over and over again. It would be insane to attempt to make a light bulb 1000 times out of the same exact material and design and expect a different outcome.

The entire point of the saying is learn from your failures. Make adjustments. Try something slightly different.

Some beach sandwich shop at the outer banks. Fuck that deli roast beef was incredible. 20+ years ago and I think about it still

So long as voltage and frequency match

And it was riddled with issues due to lack of 64bit driver support. You could have released 7 instead of vista and ended up with some of the same issues.

I’ve long thought it was fine and subjected to misplaced ridicule.

Windows ME, however…

Local elections are not low stakes. Most of the services you receive are from the municipality you live in.

Just because they’re less polarizing doesn’t mean the stakes are lower.

I was about to go hold up, but neutrons … And then you covered it.

But none of them will tell him: “did you know we have to wait in line for our coffee?”

I don’t agree with the can example. Those are physically smaller and lack meaningful slack fill.

Your points stand for the first purchase. After that people will know the proportion of chip to air, and be annoyed by it. If they could do a bag smaller with minimal chip breakage and less air they would both succeed at getting more bags out per pallet and be lauded for not cheating people by selling air.

The slack fill is functional, and I don’t see much incentive to over do it.

What is the company’s incentive to make the package bigger than it needs to be?

Shipping costs come two fold… Weight and number of pallets. Weight change is negligible here, but the amount of air they need to ship will increase. They are incentivized to reduce it to a minimum to save on shelf, storage, and distribution costs.
