  Thank you for jumping to the defence of a deceased person for a potential disparagement another dead person made based on an intrinsic attribute we cannot confirm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Prep the downvotes.

  I live in a larger Canadian city. I used to commute via transit. Sometimes the bus driver would stop abruptly. Every time the driver needed to stop the bus hard - twice a month - it was a bicyclist driving erratically, like cutting off a transit bus or, in one case, brake-checking the bus.

  I’ve almost been hit twice - same intersection, different days - by a cyclist running the red, shooting through the crosswalk I was on, and cursing me out for it.

  I have an idea as to why drivers worry about more bikes on the roadways.

  I’ve been abroad. I’ve seen segregated bikeways where there’s a ribbon of green space between bicyclists and cars. This works really well. What they’re doing here Does Not .

  There is criteria for evaluating addiction. No need to speculate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best free version of word?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it’s exactly identical to MSWord, but from the mso97 days before the Ribbon bollocks. I used o97 Word because it was like win3.1 Word … word-perfect? It’s been a while.

  But, TL/DR, LOWord is like Classic MSOffice from when it didn’t suck. This will not help you adjust, but hopefully the knowledge that you’re going back to a better era of UX could help blunt the pain.

  Go carefully, and have your favourite vice handy to goose the positive reinforcement loop.

  A fisherman vest with all those pockets?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brand new bag⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I admit: I get Bag Envy when I see something that looks durable and has a plethora of pockets. My bag is weak and puny, but this bag I see before me is epic.

  Am I the only one?

  Your course is clear: choose the timing of your firing.

  They reversed that policy

  For now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help choosing a NAS.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Careful with the ugreen: I found if you get the cheaper option, you can’t hot-swap a disk anymore. They don’t make that really clear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was changed from left- to right-handed by the Calgary school board in 1979 or so.

  In secondary school my chem teacher would definitely throw chalk if you weren’t paying attention. It’s better than chalk brushes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Canada. No idea of the scores thing, despite being inundated by adverts about it most of my life.

  However, I can’t fathom people who’ve never had a credit card – are you living the life of a monk, still in high school; what?

  It perplexes me because I’ve had a credit card since entering the workforce and, while I’ve used it sparingly, it’s really saved my ass a few times. “Neither a borrower nor a lender be” is just adding challenges to your life you don’t need at a time when you need them least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True of mine but he more than made up for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dad worked. One day in the lean years he was on the books for 5 employers at the same time: no overlapping shifts, just a hairy schedule on a paper calendar and more than one job-to-job commute.

  We do not castigate dad for devoting his entire life to the household.

  Mom, who merely had one full-timer, did the shopping and wrapping on the side. The two of them set up a wonderful Christmas day together with very few gifts and resources, and we were all together on Christmas morn before Dad went to work.

  It worked. We didn’t lack for joy.
