These sorts of things are sold all over France as well so you can remove the Chauvinism

That seems like an extreme interpretation if I'm honest. As ever, its more likely somewhere in between your hammer analogy and the handyman. In any case, there is almost zero downs…

Is it not more akin to asking a handyman to go and do the work for you? They are the ones wielding the hammer, youve just sent them off to go and do it on your behalf without getti…

I dont understand the point your comment is making. Are you being facetious or genuine?

What I've observed both in the comments here, and in my professional network is that people tend to fall into two distinct camps: 1) Those that use git like a crude autosave who th…

Just to call out - halal and kosher are _less_ humane than simply killing an animal in the usual industrial way

I dont know if the reasoning for a rewrite is purely for maintainability though. Ive used python at scale and its fine if you have reasonably good code hygiene. The reason I'd want…

What do you suggest as alternatives? Currently I'm using firefox which seems ok but I know they are propped up by google somewhat

[dead]

I think these ideas are orthogonal. I do not think that conciousness is defined by human experience at all - in fact, I think humans do a profound disservice to animals in our curr…

Why do you think stringing words together is any more a sign of consciousness than google maps is when it tries to find the best route available to your destination? It seems to me…

hah - 50 year olds have been amongst the worst offenders from what I've experienced. The only generation that I can see that hasnt completely fallen is the generation that were you…

Somewhat. I think we are still quite a long way from ethical practices even in the "good" cases. I eat meat, but try to limit it to once a week and have replaced milk with oat and …

Billions of pigs cows and chickens will stop being massacred in grizzly ways? Yours is an extremely common and unfortunately ill-informed argument that I see a lot. If I was given …

Talk about confidently incorrect. Gatwick and Heathrow have water stations all over the place and I recently saw similar in Geneva

Why? Is this is because of shame or fear of losing your job?

Thats a term thats used a lot in the British isles too, I doubt its an Australasian thing

It does, but the L-Theanine has an almost neutralising effect on the more jittery and frenetic aspects that caffeine can bring. It leaves you feeling what I would describe as more …

Can you offer some rebuttal to give some credence to your point?

I have never vibed with macOS's seemingly default mode of floating windows layered over one another like scattered paper on a desk (mimicking a desktop I suppose). Instead ive been…

Joseph Cheaney, whilst expensive, will save you £££ in the long run (and theyre a classy shoe)

I dont think this is the same. If you started referring to North America as a name for the USA then it would be equal

Not trying to be glib, but whats the alternative other than suicide? Keep trying things you know havent worked?

This seems a bit reductive. You could use this argument for any small town
