I use both quite often. The apostrophe from a young age and the em-dash from my locally hosted alternative to grammarly which auto-corrects for me - making it easy to use as it doesn’t exist on my keyboard as a built-in. If it existed on m

There is also a whole country of places to live in for those who don’t want to embrace change when their neighborhoods feel a societal pressure to do so. They can live in whatever style of neighborhood they want to live in (or create) anywh

Hoping to start a thread talking about this. Anyone read Richter 10 by Arthur C Clarke. Where California broke away from the mainland. Think anything in our lifetime will ever match the prediction tech from the book? I know nothing about ea

Gosh I forget the name of the airfield at the moment but by any chance was it near the Clearlake suburb of Houston (Hobby perhaps?) I used that airfield to get to Bush international several times back in the day. It was strange flying from

You have yet to explain why genetic extermination (whatever you mean by that) is undesirable. Naming a natural evolutionary occurrence (and I mean genetic mixing, not colonization) a pejorative doesn’t make it so. There is plenty of genetic

Immigration != colonization One is implemented with the will of the people (in a functioning democracy) and the other is not. Equating the two and then correlating that to dog whistle terms like “genetic extermination” which has no scientif

Gah! I don't want to change my default search engine on all my machines temporarily and then have to change them back once the outage is resolved. Because I know that due to inertia, I won't do it until Google results start bother

Power generation technologies, not power itself. The same argument can be made for any r&d, in lieu of spending on alternative technology that already exists. Should we have stopped spending on mRNA vaccines to pay for more socialized h

I had never heard of this before. It looks fascinating. Thank you for sharing! You say it “looked” promising - past tense - did Google kill it? Is anyone else working on anything similar (Apple, MS)?

On the topic of Microsoft having done this far in advance of Sony; I recall (perhaps incorrectly) that Satya has an autistic child. I wonder if a leader that has to personally, in their daily lives, deal with an individual who requires ass

If I checkout the merge commit and then do a ‘git log -n 5’, which parent pointer is followed to show the previous commit logs? A or B or Both / all if it is more than a 2-way merge?

Are you referring to public defection and/or drug use or screaming at the top of one’s lungs for hours at a time? Those are primarily public health issues regardless of people’s puritanical views. Hygiene, noise, environmental ordinanc

Since 1password ubiquity on all my platforms of choice, I just mash the keyboard. I wish 1p had a username generator built in like what docker does when creating container names. Snazzy-peacock sounds mighty fine for a username :)

Is this analogous to the modern concept of martial law, perhaps, in today's democracies? Including the restrictions placed on them legislatively (albeit few)!
