They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

It saves a ton of time. I’ve worked with clients before and I’ll put a lorem ipsum as a placeholder for text they’re supposed to provide. Then the client will send me a note saying there’s a mistake and the text needs to be in English. If the text is almost close enough to what the client wants, they might actually read it and send edits if you’re lucky.

Be careful with linseed oil as it spontaneously combusts! My friend used it on something and left the rag in the garage, and it literally burnt their house down.

So now they’re just charging people for what they were already doing anyway.

A lot of malls in Asia have signs that say not to walk on the escalators. So yeah I guess if it breaks you’re SOL if the people in front of you aren’t rule breakers.

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

It’s like the movie Sliding Doors, except it’s a pocket door to your parents guest bathroom.

How do these people watch conspiratorial content and miss the fact that pale male European colonialism literally is the conspiracy?

The part about remote work that has caused things to stagnate is that most companies still aren’t setup to hire out of their own state. So it’s not done much to open the gate to opportunities that are a great fit and can be done remotely, because I’m in the wrong state. And there’s still an attitude of “what would somebody in that place possibly know about things here”. The likelihood I will ever be domiciled in the same place as where my perfect job happens to be is super unlikely. This is 95% employers just discriminating based on location because they don’t want to do paperwork or have an open mind and 5% not having the benefit of in-person collaboration.

This is definitely how they do it, as someone who has a Walmart account and usually buys through the app. If I buy something in store with one of my linked cards, it stores the receipt in my account (and then asks me to review it)

It’s getting ridiculous though like even gas stations are starting to ask. Like sorry why should I leave a tip to get a Snickers and bottle of water rung up?

Actually I just started doing this and got a 7 DVD changer. Same as what I spend in a month for all these random streaming services.

Which is interesting to say the least given that most cars from the past few years use LTE radios which will eventually work about as well as cars from the early 2000s with OnStar.

PO boxes never fulfilled that requirement I don’t know why people think you can use a PO box on your driver’s license or vehicle registration. They want a physical domicile where the government can come and govern you.

DMV: “Sir your van cannot be registered using itself as the address”

I feel like EEAAO was somehow engineered to get people to say they like it for no particular reason, it almost feels like they made a movie that would be a social faux pas to say you didn’t like it. But actually I found it super boring and it remains a mystery to me why top rated movies are what they are.

More than full retail most of the time! They’re not even bothering to compete with Walmart or Target anymore on the same products.

Oh and I love when I sort by price and half the results disappear.

My parents are paying for YouTube TV through their T-Mobile subscription 🤦‍♂️

“what if we made it so everybody had to pay to turn off their screens even if there was no video or music!”
