  • I genuinely can’t believe it’s been so long

  • Call your insurance company and ask for a list of physical therapist providers in your area. Make an appointment at the same time you’re asking your general practitioner for a referral to speed up the process if they’ll let you book the appointment without the referral. Follow all the instructions of the physical therapist to a T no matter how stupid it may seem.

  • I’m from north Boston (the hood). Manhattan, especially Central Park and lower, is the safest I’ve ever felt in a major city. Nearby Brooklyn and Queens were the same. No one visits Staten Island. BX and Harlem aren’t for everyone.

  • The best way to describe the Mac upcharges for memory is “just save more and deal with it”. The company is ruthless, we all know it.

    At the very least, this current generation of Macs are top of their class in performance, even beating out some desktop configurations (it’s not like it was 6-10 years ago). Remember, windows laptops under 1000$ are far less performant and efficient than the MacBook Air.

    At the very least, macOS has zero ads. I’ve never once been nagged about iCloud/Apple intelligence/upgrading my machine. It’s well worth it in my opinion to have a machine that has kept this implicit promise to me for almost 2 decades now.

  • I was in Paris just after the Olympics ended and I don’t think I smelled any tobacco at all. Marseille? Cigarettes everywhere. I couldn’t even enjoy eating at the cafés.

  • Xpadneo is baked into Ubuntu 25 now? I noticed it was in Fedora 42.

  • Broken clock is right twice a day or something

  • “Village” isn’t used anywhere in the USA as far as I know. Places with <500 people call themselves a town usually. Where I’m from in NH (close to these towns), residents call themselves townies. “Small” is kinda just used as a grammatical intensifier in all the cases I’ve heard it used. YMMV in the south or Midwest though.

  • I got a 2024 escape as a loaner vehicle and drove it around for over a week. It’s literally the worst vehicle I’ve ever driven with respect to driving feel. It felt like I was driving a schoolbus. It had such poor acceleration and handling; sticker price was like 70K, and I wouldn’t even pay 20K for one. Also, it was like 60$ to fill the tank. Like why lol.

  • This is the way. I can’t tell you how much it hurts me when I see an obese cop.

    Practicality-wise though, if the police have recruitment issues now though, finding recruits with a PhD will be impossible. People really overestimate how many PhD’s are out here in the wild.

  • I think you mean 12 hours of screen on time. I don’t even think the 16ProMax gets that.

  • What a gigantic sigh of relief

  • Visit a AAA location and get an “international drivers permit”. It’s super easy and a good insurance policy for yourself. I highly doubt the police speak much English and aren’t corrupt, so it may save headaches. Also, watch out on neighborhood streets for potholes.

  • For context, this is in Worcester, MA. Fairly Democrat and progressive area. It’s not like this was happening in Ohio or Nebraska.

  • Tucson here: armed and unarmed guards are really common at low-class-linked businesses like thrift stores, Fry’s supermarkets, Walmart, Dollar stores, Walgreens/CVS. God forbid someone steal food or pharmacy items like shavers (shaver cartridges here are crazy expensive if you get name brand). Walgreens/CVS also has a tendency to lock the shelves behind plexiglass so you have to ask for help to buy more expensive items.

    In some cases, these kind of stores are targeted specifically. There are shopping centers with higher end restaurants that coexist with super high theft locations literally within walking distance.

    TLDR: it’s mostly to abate crimes of poverty

  • people who skipped college may not have a good grasp

    Yes, but that’s not typical for a high school dropout; he’s exceptional. Highschool dropouts are not super well read, as a demographic, either. I’m was not being hostile towards people who didn’t go to college.

    critical thinking

  • Still waiting to hear what southern CA republicans have done for the housing crisis. Rather than answer my principal question, you asked another question. Unacceptable.

  • Considering that critical thinking has to be thought to you, I think most people who skipped college may not have a good grasp on it.
