I'm fine with my reports taking better offers if they've got em. I don't get how these people get hired though. When I see these resumes that flip jobs every year, I immediately just kinda figure it's a waste to invest time in this person.

I have no idea about air purifiers, but Meredith (and better homes and gardens DO have a test kitchen in Des Moines and I wouldn't be surprised if they test other stuff there. My dad worked there and as a kid we got to come through a and try out recipes they were thinking of publishing sometimes.

But ANY site running these review articles at this point, be it for hotels or air purifiers or food kr *30 under 30" lists, are all just paid shills. I don't really have any reason to think "housefresh" is any different either. I don't even really trust consumer reports at this point after seeing them shill really shitty products a few times. Maybe ifixit is ok?

Go to Amazon and filter by one star, then try to ignore the crazys.

Heh. I'm still waiting for them to discount elden ring enough that I can buy, play to the first boss, die a dozen times and then put it down to nevenr play again like I do most souls games. $10. $10 is my limit from.

That last paragraph is hellarious. "I'm just shocked that society isn't heeding my admonition" Is so much a supreme court justice with his head up his own ass. And to top it off his "admonition" is "please don't be mean to these people just because they want to be mean to other people".

Lol. I pitched getting these last year and my boss laughed. "Have you worked with these people? They're incompetent. They can't tell you how a single thing works, let alone the whole system. It sounds nice to have, but we'll have to do it ourselves"

There's no downside to just ignoring the supreme court if you want to. They e bitten off any teeth theyight have had.

Heh wait till they learn there's a non zero percent of embryos that get fertilized but never implant in the womb and get flushed down the toilet every month.

We moved from America to see Asia years ago. We were just talking last week about how racist we still catch ourselves being. We have a sick relative at home who we talked about moving here. They'd be close to us so we could help. And healthcare here is cheap/free often and pretty good.

But there's part of me that just thinks American = superior. No matter how long I live here I'm not sure it will ever go away. It's been psychopathically programmed into me. "Yeah it's expensive, but at least you're getting a good doctor". (I've had awful and great doctors in both countries) It's infuriating to realize.

This can't be true, can it? I know that ads are manipulating me, but that doesn't magically make it stop working. I'd I never see a gay couple or a black person, no amount of reading will suddenly make it more "normal" to me when I do see them.

Are you insinuating Linux (or osx for that matter) is well known for shipping well loved defaults?

I will never understand how anyone can take the osx dock and menubar seriously. They're both just objectively awful uz

I get putting it here but it should probably just be in the normal search. Search is shit on every os in general. LLM could theoretically help it find actually relevant stuff (and filter out the kink it usually surfaces).

You can add it back in taskbar settings if you use it (and remove the copilot button if you hate it).

Heh. Can you imagine if Biden said "I don't remember" about anything. We'd have wall to wall news for months wondering about dementia. Fuck we have that news even if he doesn't say it.

I would guess they know that? Stewart will likely do what he did when Hillary was running. Spend 9 months bad mouthing Biden and then wonder why the hell he didn't win in the end, but feel sanctimonious that it couldn't possibly be anything he did while Texas murders a few thousands migrants at the border.

I worked at a restaurant as a kid washing dishes and servers did fuck all, made bank, and complained about how it wasn't enough. I lost all respect for waiters at that job (but I saw the same behaviors repeated too later in life. In the bay you'd notice that as soon as you didn't order an overpriced cocktail with dinner, your waiter would peg you as a low spender and basically just never come back unless you flagged them down).

Cooks... Good cooks are nuts to me. They'll be cooking 10 different things simultaneously with timers running in their heads. I had no idea how they managed it.

You can have it, but expecting modern windows to run seems a bit silly. It's a for sale product not a community supported hobby project.

If it was worth supporting for old ATMs or POS terminals, Ms probably would. But the people with those systems aren't paying for windows updates.

iMessage is the same though... It only falls back to sms when required (like everything else) and people hate it when it does.

I don't think I ever got spam from any jabber server even when google and Facebook were running them. You still have to opt in to messages from something. If I had to guess ,I'd guess every chat service is still an xmpp server under a surface level encryption.

Reading this new CEOs job history on linkedin is kinda infuriating. She goes from intern to head of consumer products at Skype in less than a year. Just... Frustrating to read that while I am and manage really good people who struggle for decades in the trenches to get even paltry job opportunities.

But she got her MBA from Stanford so nepotism ahoy I guess.
