Well that's piqued my interest so I glanced over your comments. I have to point out that yes, people respond badly to you sometimes, reminding me of reddit.

You should know that you seem unaware that your comments occasionally have a pugnacious or even bellicose tone, not necessarily intentionally mind you, but noticeable. Sometimes dismissive or contemptuous attitudes leak out and hostile replies state they are responding to that. It's not simple bullying, it's buttons being pushed.

Apple doesn't want people using the mouse with the cable attached because it would cost them a fortune due to failed charging ports within the warranty period. It's a wireless mouse. Using it plugged in will fuck it up.

I fix computers and an apple mouse with a bad charge port is just a throwaway.

Mac Mini M1 when it was released was a good deal compared to same form factor machines at similar prices. Same for the M1 MacBook Air, despite the base RAM.

That advantage lasted a while, too, considering battery life and build quality.

As a hardware repair person I am pretty sure that the engineers compromised with this design to prevent the inevitable problem of idiots leaving the charge cable plugged in while using it and breaking the charge port before warranty is done.

iMac G4.

The iMac G5 started the fat monitor on a leg design.

Verified: group cooking is the way.

I have friends and family who live in a cohousing building. About 50 people in 30 units. Each apartment is complete but the kitchens are slightly smaller than typical.

Cohousing is mutual ownership of the building. About 20% of the building is common areas, like widened hallways with couches and bookshelves, or a games nook, music room, workshop, laundry, etc. It's basically a tall village, and they are like roommates with privacy.

The giant kitchen and dining room is used six nights a week. One person is chef with a small crew, and dinner is for around 30 people. It costs $5 CDN per meal, though if you raid the leftovers later it's pay what you want, usually $2. The cooking volunteer roster is optional and organized by a Slack channel. Food is usually awesome and everyone wins.

If you want you hardly ever have to cook dinner for yourself.

Bullshit, I went through their post history and it isn't zionist. Stop that.

NOT FISH despite the name. Cephalopods are molluscs like snails! They are pretty smart and can have somewhat elaborate mating routines, and most species are somewhat careful about sperm sac delivery AFAIK. Lonely prisoners are not good behaviour models.

I enjoy alien abduction stories too.

What does it say when you blatantly name your company after the surveillance tool of SAURON, and hardly anyone mentions it?

Believe them when they tell you who they are.

I can't recall the study right now, but there have been more than one, so it shouldn't be too hard to look this up: people typically get more liberal as they age, but society becomes even more progressive than that, so they fall behind and feel like they are becoming more conservative.

This does not include the regressive types who are trying to create Gilead, however.

The main suppliers of inexpensive EV's are Chinese manufacturers. Most solar equipment is Chinese made. Watch the upcoming trade deals. It will be interesting to see if joint chinese-ethiopian manufacturing agreements pop up in Ethiopia, due to labour rate arbitrage.
