What?
You ask a rep. Or simply go look at your states budget.

- Comment on What is the point of abbreviations for short words when they do not reduce times significantly when you type? 4 days ago:
Smartphones have been a thing since at least 2006 (actually earlier), and commonplace since at least 2010.
I haven’t seen a T9 phone since then.
- Comment on What is the point of abbreviations for short words when they do not reduce times significantly when you type? 4 days ago:
Maybe before about 2008 when smartphones became ubiquitous.
To see it today is annoying, especially since auto correct wants to make it “you”.

They’re as good as anyone else.
Guess you won’t have a defense attorney of you’re ever wrongly accused then?
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 1 week ago:
Then it’s just a matter of biting the right extension cord
Right.
As TC has covered this before, consumers are clueless (and cheap) about extension cords.
Also, just because code is/has changed, doesn’t address current homes and also imperfect installs. How often have I seen loose screws on outlets…
No, charging for high current, long charge time items like this should be like any other high current, long-run devices like stoves, dryers, etc, using a dedicated, properly sized circuit.
I don’t want my house burning down because my neighbor was clueless and caught they’re lithium battery on fire.
- Comment on It hurts. 1 week ago:
At least with places like Denver and other western cities it’s pretty straightforward how it happened - everything built along the river. Access to the river was key.
Being a boom/bust city means that a much later boom they adjusted.
Then even older cities (think Boston) grew before any opportunity at planning could happen.

- Comment on Why don;t more presidents put stuff to a national referendum like Clinton did a couple times? A person would get time off work to vote, show what americans actually want and so on. 1 week ago:
Because it’s pointless.
It’s a “feel good” thing in a Representative system.

You’ve been corrected on this before: chav doesn’t mean poor.
So take your strawman elsewhere.
- Comment on Why is Windows still bloated 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t expect those to be upgrading to 11
Every desktop/laptop will upgrade to 11 - no business will accept the risk of maintaining an OS that’s out of support (with some exceptions). So you don’t have a choice.
- Comment on Why is Windows still bloated 2 weeks ago:
I couldn’t have written it better.
The only disagreement I’d have is that Win2k was the major turning point when NT architecture hit mainstream. Suddenly we had NT core with a UI that users understood and dynamic events (PnP).
Though for us in IT, NT4 was the major turning point - a solid OS that you could actually use in business.
XP brought a lot more user functionality (plus better performance), and Windows 7 brought the current version of 64-bit architecture.

There’s no value in switching to ARM, basically.
