The switching cost point is profound and real. You might just see that same dynamic at your place of employment.

New photo challenge. If you were born after 1990 but are older than 18 {legal rider} and have two x chromosomes, you likely have two large features on your chest.

Sounds like they served and protected the crap out of him. This is what we now expect from our public servants 🤷

The way too common misuse of the personal pronoun in the objective case. There are legitimate grammatical uses for "me" and the objective case is one of them. Learn it, kids.

Seatbelts do cause injury (bruising, hematoma, etc) with hard impact but it’s usually a better outcome than being ejected from the vehicle and then having brains ejected from your skull..

Never call the police. They are not there to help. Nothing good will happen.

Honestly if you do truly value having control over your privacy take this advice to heart. There are so many good Linux options now that are even easier than Windows to install. All it takes is a few clicks. You can even choose which UI you prefer in many cases. All those previous barriers to entry no longer exist.

Is telling someone to “disperse” a lawful order? That’s news to me. Standing in public spaces is our legal right and can’t be deemed unlawful until we actually break the law. Then it’s a law enforcement issue as anything else. Otherwise the police could arbitrarily tell anyone to move with no reasonable articulable suspicion that any crime was afoot.

We had a CVS Pharmacy location near me that decided to leave that location. Self checkout there was based on assuming everyone was a thief. All their wounds were self inflicted. Almost everything was locked up and you could never find someone to get your item for you. The genius management thought it was going to help profitability by deterring theft. Instead it was a deterrent to willing and eager customers wanting to buy their stuff. When you step over a dollar to get to a dime, your business is on borrowed time.

Would be interesting to see a gui that maximizes the content based on rotation if that were even possible

That's the MS business model in partnership with PC makers. It's a juggernaut. They've operationalized it.
