Exactly, like a bank that doesn’t lock it’s vault because the front door is locked.

Yeah, that’s getting really old. Especially since it’s each site in the family.

I think the way to do it is to cut one end of, then the other and use it to push the paste out through the can. Doing that I've never had a problem.

I 100% agree, if you can sign up without a phone call, you should be able to cancel without one. However, at the end of the day, it's just a phone call. It gets a bit dramatic.

As a customer, guess what? I get it, it'll take longer to get my stuff. No big deal. It means a lot of people are being responsible, shopping online, and hopefully sending gifts rather than spreading COVID. Retailers should just not make shipping promises they can't keep, reasonable people will understand.

Agreed, good to call them out, if this is intentional, but about the only way to stop this stuff is to stop using their browser.

I switched back to Firefox a few years ago. I know they've had their issues recently but still probably the least evil browser.

The new owner is the developer of pinboard.in. The pinboard API was modeled after del.icio.us, so it might just be a data import into pinboard exercise.

This seems pretty normal. I suspect this is similar to reasons why it's hard to read a really wide line of text, or that some people put a sheet of paper under their current line while reading. Something about how our minds can manage smaller groups more easily. Probably related to how telephone numbers split up and why we put commas or spaces in numbers like 1,000,000.

Did you have a bad experience on a farm?

> full of generational land princes who are hicks

That is pretty uncalled for and ignorant. You seem to have an agenda so I'm not going to waste much time other than to say that I see no evidence that you know anything about actual farming.

Did you have specific areas where there should be more automation? There is a lot of automation in farming.The tractors can drive themselves and planters continuously monitor and correct themselves. What is your definition of milking by hand? I suspect the percentage of cows milked by hand is extremely low. Even small family farms use milking machines.

Good question, seems like it's still being determined, but apparently the US president has made some statements that suggest it does. Being a doctor does come naturally to him of course.
