Then he’ll say well next time take the 5 for 3.9 miles, then hop on 78 until you see the 420 then do a triple lane change to the 69 then you’re home.

Without even knowing where those roads are I see you are on the West Coast.

I use Firefox everywhere, but there are a few main issues that stop me from converting people...

  • The lack of tab groups. This seems silly, but most people I know, especially on mobile, keep a lot of tabs open. If they're researching something, or shopping for something they'll leave 20 tabs open. Having that in one tab group in Chrome is a better way to organize than just tons of tabs.
  • Sites that don't work well on Firefox. Again, specifically on mobile I run into sites that work on Chrome but not on Firefox.
  • General stability issues. I need to force close Firefox once or twice a day because it will just fail to load pages.

Honest but unpopular answer? He might believe he can make more money holding on to the $180k. It's the same reason why I would take a 2% car loan even if I had enough to buy the car outright. I can make more than 2% just keeping that money in a mutual fund.

Related genres but I wouldn't say it's a subgenre. They both evolved from "string music" but took it in very different directions.

There is competition - New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, etc... The problem is that despite all the anti-consumer nonsense John Deere still tops the lists as the best option.

You could replace Windows with Ubuntu/Mint/Debian/openSUSE/Fedora for even better effect.

I would happily keep slaving my phone to my car to avoid paying for extra services.

I think the response is meant to be tongue in cheek.

It makes sense that general purpose instances would have the most users. I'm not a programmer so while I could still register there why would I pick programmer.dev?

The bigger issue I had in picking an instance was just in understanding the differences. I think it would help if instances advertised their stance on defederation, moderation, etc... to help people make a decision (or even to see that lemmy.world may be more similar to some other instances than they might think).

Also are we going to talk about the fact that I've never heard anyone outside of the south pronounce pecan as "pee-can?"

I'm new here so I don't have much of a vote, but I have mixed feelings here. I like the idea of not blocking content, but at the same time I think a Vaccines community that is dedicated to spreading misinformation is not something healthy to have.
