- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 2 months ago:
A large majority of modern web applications are built with Javascript… Both frontend and backend. You do still have a large majority of websites using plain HTML or PHP, with some features requiring JS to function (modals, realtime stats, data input, etc).
You also have alternative languages like Java or C# (and more), but also may use bits of JS on the frontend to drive functionality.
You can bet that the majority of websites you visit nowadays will use some form of JS, unless it’s a static webpage to display basic information.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 3 months ago:
This is why we have commas.
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 5 months ago:
My cat has not once tried unraveling a toilet paper roll. He has stolen money before, but he steals shit, so that’s normal. But never toilet paper.

I tried to rephrase his question in my head, and I ended up with “Why do not teeth degenerate.”
I need sleep.

But what if they didn’t know and just winged it themselves?
- Comment on How do you search for honest product recommendations? 6 months ago:
Someone you know that has the product… Or ProjectFarm on YouTube.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 7 months ago:
I also HATE that if you miss the skip button on the first of multiple ads, they disable the skip button for another number of seconds.

It’s actually having to be used, since production of our sweet glory oil has been low.
- Comment on Anyone else travel to see the eclipse just to have clouds come in right before totality? 8 months ago:
My manager made a last minute trip from Toronto to Montreal because he it was cloudy. He was all geared up for taking photos, and he in fact did get some extremely cool shots.
I’m in northern Ontario, so unfortunately I couldn’t experience the full effect.
- Comment on This is the way 8 months ago:
Just type the number into google. If it doesn’t come up with a number from a business or from something you don’t recognize, just ignore it. Most of the time I just ignore calls, and if it’s important enough, they will leave a voicemail or text me.
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 8 months ago:
Same boat. I’m currently a software engineer. Colleagues have joked in the past that I’ll make my way as a manager or something, but the reality is that I’m more than fine remaining in this position the rest of my career. I’m fortunate enough that I’m fine with the money I make. I’m fine with my responsibilities, including the flexibility I have with my time. Not to mention that I enjoy doing actual development type work.
It would have to be a significant amount of money for me to even think about accepting any management roles.
I would entertain a lead type role (lead software engineer or principal software engineer, etc), but management personally is off the table.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
It really depends on a handful of things. For context, I’m in northern Ontario.
I’m an introvert, and I spend most of my time alone. I thrive by myself, so being alone (for a while) won’t be an issue. However, I would bet over time I might lose my mind with zero presence of people.
Farming is possible, but the area isn’t great. Most of my food would be from hunting and fishing, which I do already.
I’m also surrounded by lots of fresh water, so that is not a concern. My house is heated by a mix of propain and wood, so heating in the winter is not an issue.
Winter’s will be tough, because roads won’t be plowed. Eventually fuel will go bad and I won’t have any running vehicle, including snowmobiles. So I would likely be walking with snow shoes, or staying inside. This would then require me to stock up all my food, which is its own issue.
Electrical grid would likely go down. If I want to preserve my food using freezers before the winter, I will need electricity, which would require me.installing some sort of solar system. I’m not knowledgeable on the subject, which would require me to go physically searching for books or written documentation.
Electricity is paramount for any future long distance travel, as combustion engines would not be operable, and electric vehicles would replace them.
Moving south to a warmer climate where hunting/fishing is still possible, and surrounded by fresh water would probably be best.
Long story short, loneliness would likely kill me before anything else does.
- Comment on This is $87 worth of shopping. Please feel free to use the space below to critique my purchases 9 months ago:
For fun, I tried to find similar or same items for a local grocery store to me to see the price difference… it’s roughly $160CAD. That’s a crazy difference.
Minus a few things on the left, cause it’s hard to tell what they are.

Don’t forget to add a layer of mayonnaise in between the bologna.

We had a gym teacher that would allow us to play dodgeball with volleyballs… Probably the most painful but thrilling games of dodgeball I’ve played.
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
Sorry, I meant 12hr is standard (agreeing with Nemo’s original comment).
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
It’s standard in Canada as well. I prefer 24hr personally. There were a couple times where I’ve napped in the evening, and woke up thinking I was late for work in the morning. Not fun. 24hr clock solves that. Plus it just makes more sense to me than 12hr clocks.
- Comment on When the pizza party is too expensive, you go with the EncourageMint 1 year ago:
I would rather not get anything than get a rock for recognizing my efforts.
- Comment on What games have you been playing recently 1 year ago:
…2 years ago, Rocket League. Last year, RL. This year, RL. Next year, RL… It never ends. Really the only game I never get bored of, and I have an embarrassingly amount of hours on it. Almost purely snowday.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
The way I look at it, is I don’t pay to listen to the music, I pay for the convenience.
Most music I listen to is on YouTube, where if I wanted to, I could just download it and “own” the song for free. However, in the interest of saving time, letting Spotify create playlists based on what I listen to, I just pay a monthly fee. Not to mention that I can share my playlists on multiple devices, whereas if I download music, I can’t.
I also have a family plan with all spots filled up, so that’s 6 people listening to all their music for $20/mo CAD. Far superior to buying an album or individual songs.
