I read a WWII book about wartime pilots doing crazy shit. At one point the wings freeze over and the alcohol spritzers for de-icing are all plugged up, so somehow it vents into the cabin and gets the pilots drunk from the fumes. I think they ended up landing on a glacier in the fog, thinking they were about to hit water.

It doesn’t cost the other party anything to say you were joking. Saying you’re offended can lead to lost economic opportunity for somebody.

Anyone can say they’re offended without any cost to themselves. It’s ‘cheap’, and the outcome is often very ‘expensive’ for the offender. You could even make the case that virtue is derived from being offended. This disproportionality invites bad faith. I’ve stopped caring about people’s offense.

Fuck that, you’re the big game in town, you get the big bitches. Fix your shit.

Flagged. I want my back button back.

And yet I’m still annoyed enough to upvote them.

I’ve tried to understand Org mode but it seems like a mix of so many different goals and ideas that it’s just a giant spitball of miscellaneous solutions.

The common thread seems to be emacs. Mostly.

I’ve always figured this was what they wanted. They probably tie it to your IMEI so they can track you everywhere online and in the real world.

E: Seriously? This is a multi billion dollar industry. Oh no, Google would never do that…

Obsolete, but still functional for their intended purpose. The screen will fail before the components get tin whiskers, if you use it often-ish.

E ink readers will fail later because of a very low refresh rate, but as a screen monitor it may be a poor match.

Pixel-Qi full sun display mode may be a better match for what most want.

Depends on how things are set up with the refresh rate; subpixel rendering may have an effect IIRC. Details I don’t really understand, but e ink has a shorter lifespan than other tech.
