I was confused why a package manager would need to import posts from a social network.

Why name a new product the same as a very popular existing product?

Huh. TIL. I always wondered why libraries treat ebooks like physical books.

No, cats are the other way around. You’re just a human who lives in their house.

I have a similar grinder, paid less than $20 for it, works great. I’ve been using it daily since 2019.

Unfortunately it’s not on Amazon anymore. I found it on eBay, but with a single 1 star review: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124212737537

since they mostly use band 66 for large cells which has pretty crap penetration into buildings.

Huh, good to know there’s an explanation for why I was getting no signal inside my home when I was on T-Mobile. It’s the reason I switched.

Does a song open with a beautiful chord purely to end?

Napalm Death - You Suffer

My first email address was @k.ro (a free email provider many many years ago) and many websites thought a valid second-level domain name cannot be just one letter

No, that shouldn’t be illegal either. Against the rules of a server and getting you kicked out of that server, sure.

I can relate

Back in high-school there was a street I had to cross on my way to school and there were no traffic lights at that crosswalk. It was a high speed street and there were lights at major intersections before and after that crosswalk, so cars tended to just blow through it regardless of anyone waiting to cross.

The biggest problem was not waiting for a car to stop, it was a car stopping on the first lane, forcing me to start crossing, only for a car to come shooting through the second lane without wondering why the other is stopped. That’s why I learned to avoid using the crosswalk, it was the most dangerous place to cross the street. I chose a place without a crosswalk where I could cross when I saw that both lanes are safe.

Changing the setting from a grocery isle to an electronics department makes for a completely different story. Goes from “yeah, sure, that happened” to “perfectly credible encounter.”

I was thinking there must be younger siblings in the back, so he had to travel in front. But now I realize both parents were there, so that means one of the parents is in the back seat…

are often brought over as cheap labor, undercutting local labor

I came to the US on a work visa and my company had to pay thousands of dollars for the visa fee, prove that my salary is in line with local averages, publicly post a job opening for the position I was going to fill, and in general show proof that there are no equally or better qualified local candidates for the job. I don’t see how they could have gotten my visa approved if they tried to pay me less.
