That is a profoundly silly and counterfactual thing to say.

I feel the dental frustration, but I'm pretty put off by how weirdly leery the author is about the female dental professionals involved.

I mean, could be!

But also irrelevant.

What a profoundly dumb question.

We are committing suicide as a nation.

"which was perfectly correct for someone not being used to computers."

I disagree.

Even someone with no experience with computers understands, generally speaking, that the mouse is tracking the surface of the desk somehow. I have had this conversation many times (or did, back in the 1990s when mice were more novel for most people). Nobody picked it up.

The ones who do in these anecdotes are, IMO, examples of the sort of people who absolutely shut their brains off in protest when asked to work with new tech. I have been blessed in that I have only very, very rarely been asked to work with or even know such people.

It's shocking that, apparently, in addition to making awful coffee, Keurigs are also data sniffers?

Good lord.

What the hell are we doing?

There is no good goddamn reason for a coffeemaker to talk to the Internet.

I have a VERY VERY nice coffee machine. The model was somewhat controversial b/c it DOES have integrated circuits in it, but only for the PID and the auto on/off. It has no wifi, bluetooth, Ethernet, NFC, or any other such tomfoolery because literally NONE of that would be useful.

So?

We've been buying fans for our home reno, and the selections get super thin once my absolute position of "NO FING REMOTES" is factored in.

I do not see wireless remotes for ceiling fans as a good idea. I especially* do not see wireless remotes for ceiling fans as a good idea when the remote is intended to be the ONLY WAY TO CONTROL IT.

I'm a fairly enthusiastic road rider, and while I'd never trade the tech on my modern bike there's a beauty to those early derailleurs that is lost in modernity.

It's funny you think that CBP has any real professional standards that any of their agents would possibly be held to if it were inconvenient for the agency, at least under this administration.

I'm finding it quicker and more responsive than Tahoe, but I've run into a couple bugs that vex me. None are super troublesome, but I notice them.

The biggest one is that moving application stacks in Mission Control no longer works. In Tahoe and prior systems, if you invoked Mission Control with the "group windows by application" option turned on, windows belonging to a given app were "stacked" under an icon for that application.

This allows the user to move ALL of an app's windows from one display to another, or from one Space (Mac virtual desktop) to another, without having to drag them one at a time.

This broke in GG. I'm sure it'll get fixed in the .1 release, but it's annoying for now.

You would be incorrect.

It's also wild that you are attempting to correct me while also admitting you don't "keep up with DHH (at all)." What was that thought process like? "I don't have any data with which to rebut this assertion, but it just FEELS false, so I'll go with that!"

I'm not sure how big a deal that really is in a broad sense.

My friend circle in our old city included both Falstaffian omnivores and vegans, and we entertained often. It's not hard to ensure there's food available for folks on a more restrictive diet, and even my friends with UCI racing licenses generally ate like normal people at social events.

Mileage varies, obviously.

(I will say, however, that after having made a vegan "bolognese" once, I have no need to do so again. It was much more effort than the already time-consuming genuine article.)
