Thanks for sharing, that was interesting

I agree with that - iOS looks good but Android is actually more functional to get stuff done in. Though, caveat being whose Android - some vendor customizations are horrifying

I totally agree with that. I've also found Google worse about being influenced by SEO tactics (probably just because it's targeted for that) and so you get bogus results like GeeksForGeeks that are often really poorly written and irrelevant, sometimes even wrong, up at the top.

Canada is a bit of a mess too, although different. We never really use miles, but we do use feet and inches and pounds pretty regularly. The construction industry is a real mess in particular because so many things are measured in either imperial or metric units

I can't see it anymore for some reason - it doesn't mean anything really but I remember the first character being 毛 which is hair haha

Wow that is a terrible translation haha

Being able to read Chinese characters, I had a really hard time seeing your name as you intended it...

Especially early on in the Iraq war it was considered anti-American to be critical of it. Of course, that doesn't have the kind of baggage that anti-Semitism has, but I do think it's being used in exactly the same way, and it's just conveniently more effective because of the very real history (and present) of anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish violence. Where as (settler) America isn't exactly an oppressed people

You have to shoot big if you want to get anything close to what you want - it's a basic principle of negotiation

Or they just can't leave for one reason or another -- moving is tough

Also so many sites that haven't given in to the ad content farm / have found it to not be worth it are now just putting up paywalls... which I'm okay with in principle, but in reality I can't afford to subscribe to 20 different sites I only read occasionally

There's going to need to be a new model of revenue sharing somehow at some point. I wouldn't mind paying for one subscription that gave me broad access, but the problem then is the control that gives whoever collects the money (e.g. YouTube Premium)

There can be a lot of community found in commiseration. Finding people who are going through the same thing and making friends with them will always make it better, even if it doesn't actually solve the problem.
