  Ignoring the fact that this is on par for Apple… (Which does tend to disseminate to other brands due to popularity)

  The only issue I have is the deletion of the dedicated dock port, which should have less wear and tear due to fewer insertion cycles. (you’d only use it at the office, home or otherwise) The other ports being combined into fewer ones is just part of technological evolution toward mobile efficiency. If you are on the go, whether on-site support or between locations, you aren’t going to be lugging around 2-3 monitors; a printer; scanner; etc. You’d normally want something lightweight and easy to manage, so you can be in and out quickly.

  If you don’t move around while working or whatever, a desktop PC should fit all of your connection needs.

  I think sorta like if ‘six’ had a past tense (i.e. sixed)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which way?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While getting it taken taken care of by a doctor is the more prudent option, the cotton trick can temporarily help in the meantime.

  You pull a small strip of cotton about 2.5cm long from a cotton ball and stuff it under your nail, as if you were flossing your nail, with the ends of the cotton acting as a sort of cushion and softening the edges of the nail. You would then use a bandaid to keep it in place for the day. (also, you should use some antibiotic ointment before stuffing in the cotton if you have any broken/torn skin)

  Again, it’s only a temporary solution, but it really does help with the pain.

  Just be sure to double-check that both paths are correct before pressing enter, as ‘dd’ is a very powerful utility that can overwrite something if you aren’t careful.

  I think they’re referring to how vehicle-centric planning for cities is more common (as opposed to walking or human-powered locomotion, like biking or skating)

  It’s a piece of poster board which is pretty much like cardstock. You can usually find some at the stationary section in a lot of stores in the US.

  Easy there, tiger. 1/3 incorrect.

  I wasn’t going to explain all of the health effects, aside from an irritant, that the “!” could indicate, especially when the general rule of thumb is to go over the SDS when you see the symbol. The second symbol is definitely for indicating a hazard to aquatic life.

  The “G” in the third was confused with a “Q”, given the printer resolution. I wasn’t sure, so I used more relative wording for saying what it looked like on my screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can't make it yourself, store bought is fine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes more sense, I wasn’t sure why they would be talking about dosage on a mfr label

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can't make it yourself, store bought is fine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The exclamation can mean that it’s an irritant. It could also be other potential health concerns.

  Try not to be too quick when trying to correct someone next time, especially when you are only half right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thing makes noise wallet goes empty⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or an axle failing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can't make it yourself, store bought is fine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.

  The middle looks to imply that it’s harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)

  Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn’t available. (QHS = taken every night)

  While not as serious or deadly, the radium paintbrush story comes to mind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You might be overlooking the undertone of sarcasm in the complaints. No one is actually truly mad or anything, more humorously cynical of it.

  I think most of it stems from how half-assed the censorship usually is along with the relative pointlessness considering how common explicit words are on the internet

  Going by the writing on the wall, it’s for a 3-way dimmer switch. It also is likely the picture was taken during its install and not from someone trying to find a stud

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll have to try this with a coworker’s. He was also auto tech, so it’ll have to be hidden well…

  For a solid cut of beef, that’s my goto. But for ground beef, I would go closer to medium, both for food safety and so it doesn’t fall apart in my hands too easily

  No worries, it’s all kosher

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't go on a field trip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Way back, years ago, and if memory serves…

  There was short story about Harry Potter in a Disney Adventures magazine one month and I think that was supposed to be all there was as far as the story. The popularity of it may have had JKR rushing to build a more in depth story and throwing anything in it that seemed whimsical and fun to a kid, regardless if it made sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try with a different/new cable.

  The contacts on a USB-C cable can become fatigued and lose the tension needed to maintain a solid connection, which can cause this issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There he goes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boys and beans and...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It might be by locale. I live a couple blocks from a high school and I’m seeing the opposite. Kids are wearing baggier and baggier jeans, some even near JNCO style.
