A company at a certain point moves from “make it work” to “don’t break it”. Both have good reasons to be honest but “don’t break it” has far more restrictions.

I hate sparklers so much. Watchings kids wave those things about makes me feel so sick.

When I was in North Carolina on a trip the chap I was visiting said I'd know if I was crossing over to South Carolina when I saw all the fireworks shops as it was illegal to sell them in NC but not SC. Funny to see.

(No idea what the actual rules are, just repeating what he told me)

It’s starting to feel like people need to say what language/stack and problem space they’re working in. It would be interesting to see why we’re seeing such wild variance.

There are some funny videos of people in pubs in the UK discussing how bad the incoming drink drive rules were, it's a similar deal I think. No one likes being restricted from something they've been allowed to do.

I told my friend that in my mind I add five minutes every time she does it, but 30 seconds is probably more fair.

Perhaps not being able to use them for the first few minutes, but I guess it's not ideal to make it more annoying for people not playing by our shame rules!

We have a little group chat going where we compete each day to be the fastest to complete these. We could do with some sort of time penalty for reveals or something because right now we just enforce that with pure shame!

Really enjoyable game.

I know some people have ideological things going on that make them choose different networks, but they have more than half a billion active users so it's not exactly a ghost town.

Composer 2 is great tbh. It makes my over runs of the ultra plan much less painful.

Another swing and a miss from the AI police.

All these commenters just yell AI about every post and comment on here now. They have a worse hit rate than a blind marksman.

> I’ll remember this experience and choose to buy a more repairable laptop like a ThinkPad or a Framework laptop.

> Here’s hoping governments regulate laptop manufacturers to actually make repairable machines in the future.

So there is already a solution on the market but for some reason the immediate desire is for the government to get involved and start regulating laptop keyboards?

It’s interesting to see twists on the old anti-piracy arguments recycled for anti-ai.

That's not a thread you want to pull on, it applied to the majority of the comments on the internet.
