Rivian as well - whether they're able to be successful long term or not is an open question.

I do this all the time in the winter as well when I'm wearing gloves that aren't really "touch screen" friendly

[Your Area Code]-867-5309 is what I always use - alas they are becoming wise to that

This is the story I keep thinking back to with the rise of LLMs, but I could not think of the name for it, so thank you!

Man - I knew this in my teens - I just didn't DO it.

Not who you were responding to, but in your original statement you wrote "I do not think it’s healthy for adults to do this [sic] I think pets are wonderful for children"

By explicitly calling out that "[they] are wonderful for children" you are implicitly calling into question their value for adults. Whether that was your intention or not, it's certainly how I read your statement.

Without any actual numbers given, this reads like any number of other hit pieces on younger generations that have been written up through the years. Especially coming from the editorial pages.

I have one that I actually like, but it works a bit differently - instead of being capacitive on the faucet - which is infuriating, there is a sensor in the toe kick area under the sink, so if you wave your foot there it turns the water on/off.

HA - I wrote the same comment, including the bit about "why is it in Reminders and not Notes?" - it really is just inexplicable

This doesn't solve all the problems the app mentioned is solving, but if you're using iOS (based on the Apple Notes) - Reminders is oddly a solid grocery list tool:

- It can be shared with others - It can be updated natively with Siri voice commands ("Hey Siri - Add eggs to grocery list" works out of the box) - It gives other users notifications when it changes (this is also my major negative) - It "knows" it's a grocery list and tries to do some smart grouping/labeling (Dairy, Sauces, etc)

I'm just really not sure why that's built into Reminders and not Notes

Currently this is a fever dream of non-Euclidean space - but the fact that it can reliably do this at all is extremely impressive.

It's funny how as soon as I read to Netherlands, my brain back-tracked to correct me on the pronunciation.

If anyone else is ever in the Netherlands and has a chance, due the tour in Gouda, it's delightful and you get to try a bunch of gouda cheese!

That's true for relatively new construction, but for instance, I have a 100 year old house with stucco. Replacing my windows is a nightmare job. Whereas my back deck was a far simpler project
