> It's a team not a family.

Ah yes, as the old saying goes "team starts with 'my ' and there are no losers on my team"

Performance can be an expectation but don't try to shove shit down their throat unless you're willing to get it shoved down yours.

Looks a bit like jQuery mixed with jsx and ember or angular

> The actual restrictions were quite reasonable in the vast majority of cases, weren't in place very long, and were only spottily enforced.

It's ok to think they were reasonable or unreasonable, and which side you fall on seems like it'd largely be determined by personal circumstances and lifestyle.

> Sorry you missed a couple nights at Applebees.

This kind of rhetoric gives off a deplorable sort of pompous vibe. While it's probably untrue to say that both sides are equally authoritarian, it would also be untrue to suggest one side isn't at all. Both COVID and the response to it caused a tremendous of damage for some and created ridiculous amounts of wealth and almost no damage for others.

My first iPad entirely felt like a waste of money. Any time I'd want to do something useful with it, the mac was a better choice. Not sure what cellular on the iPad would have ever offered me, but I know why I want it on my laptop.

I wish there was a red or green one. Sick of only having two options.

They recently reduced the price (also rare from Apple), but the macbooks with nano upgrade do ship with one.

I will say that it's the best cloth ever, and the nano upgrade is worth it

> Actually only then you finally have time to do what you want. The really cool stuff, not takeaway coffee, going to cinema, or one week vacation

I agree, but it's an opportunity tempered by how long your runway is compared to the ambiguity of what's next. Sure, if you saved $100k and your ongoing expenses are low, you should generally feel comfortable spending $3k to $10k going on a long-term adventure or something. But if there's no prospect of income when you come back, or 6 months after you come back, or 2 years after, the more money and time you spend enjoying yourself is an opportunity cost as much as it is a financial one. Having spent a shit-ton of my "career" (like half) unemployed, I'm definitely on the side of using your free will the way you wouldn't get to otherwise, but there's this anxiety of not having any answer to "how the fuck am I going to pay to live in the near future? how fast is my clock ticking?"

There's only so many times you can mentally ride out the space in between paid work where there's the real possibility your entire net worth drops to literally zero or negative.

How does one pull a six figure salary from anywhere in 2026!? Might as well make a go of it

> To which, I can only answer my myself who can’t see any reason to upgrade from my iPhone 15.

It's cool that you have extra cash to blow on pointless devices, but you were looking to upgrade from an iPhone to an iPad mini?

> In my personal experience what you’re describing has nothing to do with race.

I have no dog in this fight, but they didn't say "race", they said "ethnic cartel". Using race and ethnicity interchangeably seems as lossy in terms of information as the concept of race was invented to be

So it's like my iPad 3 but newer. Hope I can read epubs on this one too ;)

So do I, but I don't think I'd blame mobile-first designs, and instead place the blame on Microsoft sucking at making decisions, sucking at design, and sucking at mobile. Every bad Windows UI has, imo, been the result of trying to be cool and likeable by dying their hair a different colour to get some attention and getting ahead of or catching up with Apple who was playing a different game the whole time.

Apple meanwhile has made some notable mistakes, but when they do, it's usually a thorough bad bet that's just missed the mark, but if they do, it's all throughout their OS in every corner. Even with their recent Liquid glass blunder, they're not really putting a veneer that looks like wood over a rotting corpse of a house, they're just picking bad materials to update an otherwise decent layout. Microsoft's whole track consumer UI/product record imo is trying and failing to bet small but intrusively on ideas that don't work, aren't cool, and have no longevity. You see it as soon as you open the control panel that still looks like the 90s; it's this uncomfortable amalgam of failed tepid temporary marketing pitches by some department that make no sense

Hmm that's odd, it was presented by my MP but wasn't aware of a chance to sign it

For me it's about intention and decoupling core entertainment from algorithmic bs.

The concerta I take will occasionally leave me to be less talkative and less curious to the point where if I want to be in a more social context, I want to either time it right or not take it, but it also depends on hydration and diet that day. Otherwise I find it pretty important. I did downsize from 36mg to 27mg.
