It was the first commercial version, from the NT line that was user-friendly and capable enough for home users. Prior to that, it was difficult to get games to run on the NT line and permissions were more complicated than most home users wanted to deal with. After that, they were essentially the same product line.

Typical Microsoft. “Let the user decide when their computer wakes up? Nah, they let us decide what’s important or it stays asleep.”

Your inhibitions are also, to a degree, part of what make you who you want to be. Not excusing him, certainly not defending him, but sometimes a little inhibition is a good thing.

Ive thought of it. Probably going to do sunglasses first, t’hough. Or rather second, after my single vision safety glasses.

Yeah, but that isn’t a one-time cost, either. That’s a recurring cost, typically on a biannual basis, and usually much higher than the monthly subscription. That said, being able to walk out with something that is going to reliably work for the next couple years definitely has its benefits. Ive just never considered something with a definite lifespan and a requirement to replace as a one-time cost. Kind of like the difference between paying property taxes monthly or yearly - I’m still paying and it isn’t going to stop.

21 years with the same frames?

I have a pair on right now. They’re better than not seeing correctly, but only being able to focus on a computer screen with less than a third of your vertical field of view sucks. There are options, but one of the best is having more sets of glasses, which isn’t convenient or cheap. These could solve that. I’m sure Amazon will make it not worth it at some point, though.

If you think glasses are a one-time cost, I feel like you’ve never worn glasses. I had 10 years in my life where my vision didn’t change, and now I need bifocals/progressives. Given the nature of the condition, I expect to have to get new prescriptions every 2 to 4 years until I die or go blind.

That said, the rest of your comment is quite likely painfully true, especially if Amazon has their fingers in it.

English has at least 5 (French, Germanic, Greek, Latin, Arabic, doubtless more) and it’s up to the user to know which is used in any given context. Or not. It’s really kind of stupid.

Not even jeans, or discussing not pooping. Then again, that last one seems to be off base for this sub, too…

This was sold by Foveon, which had some interesting differences. The sensors were layered which, among other things, meant that the optical effect of moire patterns didn’t occur on them.

Did your dream self say, “At least it isn’t InstaCart”?

Part of how scissors are design is for there to be a natural tendency to pull the blades together when you press with your thumb.

On a reladed note, if you’re left-handed, get a pair of left-handed scissors. There are two reasons for this. First, you will be amazed at how much easier it is to cut with the correct scissors. Second, you can have your friends who don’t think having the correct scissors is a big deal try them and see how wrong they are.

Well, I’m in Canada, so the standards are already higher as far as quality goes, and our regulatory agency is still in place for oversight. I’d say it’s worth it for them to keep the quality up so product lasts longer, but I’m sure some bean counter will figure out a reason for how allowing the milk to spoil sooner makes the company a buck, so we’ll see.

Option number 4. The sanitary standards for packaging milk are very high in North America. This drastically reduces the risk of contamination after pasteurization, which allows our milk to last quite a while. It isn’t as sterile as UHT milk, but it tastes more natural.

They had milk in 1.3 L bags (sold in packs of 3 for 4 L) in Manitoba about 35 or 40 years ago.

This doesn’t appear to be made by the people from either the Raspberry Pi Foundation or Raspberry Pi Holdings.

And more approachable! All the chimps have access to assholes and grass. No one has to feel left out, as long as they leave it in!

Yeah, I’d hope ancient enmities wouldn’t lead to modern problems, but it’s funny watching some people treating the indigenous people’s like a single entity, or like there weren’t fights between groups.

…that will start some fights…
