I’ve found that people who worry that they have bad handwriting typically have very good, legible handwriting. This is true with a lot of things actually. If you care about it, chances are you’re above average already. It’s only people who don’t care and thus you don’t hear from at all about it who are truly bad at something.

What is the senior architect doing in the server room, that’s the purview of the networking grunts

My understanding is, with their iterative approach, the fact that the last one spiralled uncontrollably doesn’t mean it was a total waste. They got a lot of good data from that and it will apply to future designs.

As we both know, the 1918 Spanish flu was unusually virulent, and back then we had no vaccines. Comparing to that flu would not give us useful data. It would be misleading. As you know, I meant today’s flu.

How are their symptoms though? Not bad right? By saying COVID is over I mean the more dangerous forms of it from 2020 and 2021 are gone. It’s barely worse than the flu at this point. I’m not saying people aren’t still getting it. It’s just mostly inconsequential.

That seems like a separate issue. I acknowledge your dread. It is important and should be addressed appropriately. I just don’t think the actual threat that COVID currently poses warrants such dread. You should be more afraid of heart disease, or car accidents, or something like that. Those things kill more people than COVID. Especially in 2023. It’s barely worse than the flu now. I was afraid of 2020 COVID. It’s not the same disease as it was then though.

Opinion: unless you or a loved on has some kind of immune system issue, COVID is pretty much over.

My town actually has a square. It’s nice to have.

Dude even stuff like bowling is too much now. An hour for two people can approach $70 at certain places. Not the bougie places either, those places are even more. I was browsing Google reviews for one place nearby like that and the owner responded saying that they should look for a Groupon.

It’s probably a 15 year old Logitech webcam.

It’s been years since I dual booted. If you want Windows to be default I’m struggling to think of what could be gained by dual booting over just running your Linux system in a vm in Windows.

Lemmy sure does love name calling! It’s such a mature and productive way to carry on a conversation!

I mean literally I paid 60k-ish all together for my two cars , why is it so hard to believe? I didn’t read it cover to cover, like all the detailed specifications, and the index and all that kind of stuff, I didn’t memorize the maintenance schedules for Canada and Mexico, but all the explanations of all the features? Of course I read all of that. It takes just 2-3 hours to go through it all, even sitting in the car and trying everything out as I go. It’s a super small time investment into something I’m going to own for several years. I spend way more time on a weekly basis on leisure activities like playing games.

Yes I have read the entire thing. I paid enough for it I better know how to use it.

The batteries are not soldered even in the newest Samsung phones. Everything you’d want to replace is modular. Not sure about Apple.

I disagree that it was just “slave holding states”. This is obvious to us, maybe, but when presenting the issue to non Americans I think it’s important to be accurate on this. It was meant to give states (slave holding or not) with lower populations a larger voice. It still does that. Our system of government was never meant to be a pure democracy. The president wouldn’t have to care about the priorities of smaller population states at all without the electoral college. They would just have to trust that he’ll keep them in mind.

With all that said though, with how homogenous the county is culturally and with communication and travel barriers between states and between the state and federal governments pretty much non existent, at this point I think it has outlived its usefulness and should be abolished. Also the difference between the most and least populated states are, percentage wise way bigger than they were when the county was founded. Also, if my voice as a populated state dweller is smaller because of this system, it feels less like the president is “my” president because I had less of a say in picking him. At the end of the day the president is everyone’s president equally so the election of the president should be a purely democratic process.

At this point you get into a philosophical discussion about what “right” really means
