Time math gets a bit difficult far enough from UTC. Where I live virtually any event in Europe or Asia will be happening on a different day there than here, so it’s not fun to try and figure in one’s head.

The only universal solution is to link to a converter site.

Personally I wish everything supported the automaticly-converting timestamps I’ve seen in Discord which just show up in local time or as a countdown.

davidgro,

Not yet possible. Google hasn’t provided an API to access RCS from 3rd party apps. They did to Samsung’s messenger (1st party as far as their own phones), but as far as I know that is the only other one currently. (Verizon for a while had their own RCS implementation and infrastructure and their own messenger app could access it)

davidgro,

Sounds like a good way to get hit by a bus

davidgro,

Does it have speed controls?

davidgro,

That’s exactly my answer to “Which carbonated soft drink is the worst?”

davidgro,

I generally agree with the message behind this sarcasm, but in this specific case OP really is learning the GNU utilities in particular (via Linux) so I don’t mind the extra nomenclature.

davidgro,

You’re certainly right about Multipass, but the grep included in Ubuntu does seem to be from GNU.

davidgro,

The people also have the AI look

davidgro,

Ding ding ding ding ding ding…

davidgro,

Gotta be careful with those before a long trip.

davidgro,

You know how it’s said that children are narcissists or psychopaths or whatever? I actually remember the moment that stopped being the case for me.

It must have been kindergarten, and we had a raffle style drawing in class. I knew I would win of course, I remember thinking that.

Then some other kid won. Blew my mind. It was at that moment that it really hit me that other people have fully independent lives and minds, just like mine, and the universe didn’t exist for my benefit. (Of course before that, if you had asked me I’m sure I would have said those things, but didn’t actually feel it intuitively until right then).

I feel like experiencing a loss (which wasn’t my own fault) was a very significant part of my mental development at that age, and I think it’s important for people to get that while growing up.

We can’t in fact all be winners. To quote a great philosopher:

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”

Sugarshire

Almost sounds legit.

davidgro,

According to my mom, “Garbage Pail Kids” was this (besides the ‘game’ part of TCG)

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

davidgro,

Yup. That movie doesn’t even look like itself.

davidgro,

I would guess that you have seen the first episode of “The Boys”?

Anyway, option 1 is very clearly superior, even if incredibly boring, because it includes not becoming tired or hungry during the trip. You kinda would get to zone out for months at a time, like a super long scenic vacation.

davidgro,

Here is an entire novel (free online) written by a master at ‘what else could a given superpower do or cause?’

It’s an amazing read if you like the genre at all.
Just a warning, it gets very grimdark in a lot of places.

davidgro,

The solution to that was ExFAT, which is another patented MS system, so requires a license fee (I think) but otherwise is compatible with anything (because they all had to pay the fee…) But specifically compatible with Windows out of the box.

davidgro,

Buy the key on Amazon and then you can change the settings to dispense more or automatically

davidgro,

Depends if they are all doing so in the same room (or area if outdoors) at the same time. That’s missing from the quick overview summary that the image presents.

davidgro, (edited )

Interesting. I haven’t heard them called that, even though I’m in a state where most electricity is from hydro, And my state borders Canada.

davidgro,

Ah - I didn’t know we were the only ones who do. But yes, it’s nice to have that. I understand we also have the largest ferry system in at least the US, although I think that’s not directly related to the rivers.

Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I’d prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I’d have to order and wait a few days to get…So I’m wondering what some of those things may be for you?

davidgro,

Jeans that fit me.

I’m not even that unusual of a size - just taller than most, and with weight gain I have actually entered easier to find sizes. (Used to joke that I could find lots of them that would fit if I could wear them rotated 90 degrees - switching the waist and inseam numbers)

So I used to be able to go to a department store and with a lot of searching, find some pairs and try them on to confirm that they fit.

Then it started getting scarce. On the final offline jeans shopping trip, I went to JC Penny and bought literally every pair of jeans they had in stock that fit me - about 10 pairs.

Now I would just have to buy online if I want any new ones (not counting specially shops)

The text is clearly (badly) put there by the AI, so it must have been in the prompt.

davidgro,

I guess misspelling is contagious. I fixed it.
