Sounds like work. People buy this ice likely either don’t care or don’t want to spend the time.
I’d never buy this, because I don’t even use ice, and if I did, I wouldn’t care about its shape. Seems silly to me.
But I can’t disparage anyone who sees that market, and that means it’s worth doing as a business, to some degree, probably.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 4 days ago:
Packaging makes sense, too. We’ve been buying bagged ice forever. In this case, your ice has stricter quality control.
I have no need for this, but there’s clearly a market for it. I can’t disparage anyone for finding a market.

It was Putin, and it wasn’t trump pissing on escorts, it was trump ordering underage girls to piss on the bed Obama slept in as he watched. Reportedly, it didn’t stop there.
Trump was staying at a hotel in Moscow, and Putin, being ex-KGB, had cameras everywhere, and he provided the girls. Putin has video of trump raping girls in Moscow. - Comment on When foreign countries try to reproduce US brans 3 weeks ago:

doc knows she’s had a full hysterectomy, knows she doesn’t exaggerate, knows she refuses to take anything medincinal unless forced.
Sounds like medical PTSD. I’ve fucked my liver taking OTC meds in very high dozes cuz I don’t trust doctors. Had to have an emergency hysterectomy at 38 because they wouldn’t listen. That kind of pain is indescribable.
Had a cardiologist come into my room with a team of students to prove I only had anxietyand hypochondria a few years ago. Shortly after, Was diagnosed with Dysautonomia shortly after and I now have a pacemaker.
I’m done with doctors and would rather just die at home at this point. Fuck them.
Sorry for your spouse. ‘Womanly’ pain is the worst pain there is, imo.

Master understatement.

We managed to dial things back a bit, so that became a smaller problem.
We used to see regular news reports of actual rivers on fire. Things are still way too bad, but we forcefully throttled some things as we saw how quickly the damage was compounding.

I dunno – if someone said these exact words to me but sarcastically, that might actually work. Like, we might wind up having a conversation about how cringe this is, and so this line might work in a way.

I think two major things are understanding platform standards and that what users say they want is often not what they need or what will work best for them.
Innovation is fine, but IUE and usability are often better served by following common platform standards (for general apps on the OS, not necessarily trying to match existing and often shitty enterprise software).
Also, it’s important to look for root causes when people ask for a specific feature. Many users focus on specific UI elements when they’re having issues, and in a complex system, it’s easy to wind up with bloat by solving the wrong problem. This is often how enterprise software becomes so unwieldy, with options and elements seemingly vomited all over the UI. What users think they want and what they need can be very different things.
Sorry if this is too general or basic. It’s hard to design a system that works for beginners and experts, and A/B testing a mix of users early with lofi prototypes helps a lot. For existing software, just watching users interact with it is massively helpful.
Is this what you meant? Happy to be more specific if I missed the mark.

Yeah, sometimes it really hurt.

Nothing that techy. I did include power users in tests, but their requests were usually for specific hotkeys or to have their favourite (and lesser used by most users) feature front and centre.
It can be difficult to balance a UI for inexperienced and powerful users, but watching them interact with prototypes and the actual software does help.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
As part of my career in software design, I used to run A/B testing and usability tests. This meant sitting with users and watching them use the software. Since IUE (initial user experience) was very important, this often included inexperienced users.
The data was absolutely worth it, and definitely improved my designs, but it took a lot of patience to watch people struggle and fail without intervening or saying anything that would affect the results. It was rewarding, but sometimes excruciating.

I just watched a long form video on the difference between war and conflict, and how we can’t really call many animal conflicts ’war’.
And then how some animal conflicts, like ant and chimp wars really are war. It was pretty cool.
Since some dinosaurs species were around for a very long time, I wonder whether they did wage war? They had plenty of time to develop culture and more than enough to hate each other. Maybe war really never changes.

I can’t find the article now. It was either Vox, Forbes, or Hollywood Informer.
Now, all the top 30 pages of results come up with makeup artists speculating on what he’s doing to his hand to hide whatever bruising is happening there. I’m sorry, I wish I’d saved it.

It is though. Only a bit, but you can’t get that orange even using the orange concealer he uses wrong.
Fun fact: it’s not spray tan. The real story is much sadder. It’s a certain brand of concealer he buys in bulk, because
Way back in his *the Apprentice * days, a talented makeup artist made him look far, far better on camera than he looked in the mirror, and he asked her how she made him look so good.
According to an interview she later gave, she explained her whole routine. It seems he stopped listening after her fist few sentences, though, because from then on he began buying the first step she used (a certain orange concealer) and just slathering it all over his face as the one and only step.
Some of his previous maids have confirmed this, and some have said he goes through shirts like no one else because the concealer stains like crazy. It’s not meant to be used that way, you’re supposed to use it sparingly underneath foundation, powder, etc. he uses it alone and in copious amounts.
Spray tan or bronzer would at least make some sense. The real story is worse.
He is that inattentive and stupid.
