The last time I called Apple the phone service employee hit me with “I understand your issue as I am also a student” when I replied that I wasn’t a student he then followed it up w…

A couple anecdotes from me: A (quite large) company that I worked for stopped offering surfaces to employees after the average lifetime over the 3 years they offered them was under…

Your experience is way different from mine. I had some very basic "double check" type questions about my very straightforward taxes I threw at the bot because it was handy and it d…

Ah, I have I guess an old version of the CR downloaded from when I was a judge and TO where rule section 722 is "Controlling Another Player," weird reorganization there. Are you ac…

Well there was a huge discussion on what it means amongst judges. On plain reading it does not do what it states it does. Start just with the phrase "its spell" - those words are e…

There was an era about 10-15 years long where that was true but modern cards often fall back on very loose language that they tighten up with rulings prior or sometimes after relea…

The kobo store has problems with DRM but Kobo devices do not. they’ll open whatever you put on the file system (and it’s treated as a first class citizen along with anything you’ve…

Really? Because he invented the gambling part of MTG - booster packs and then introduced drafting to get people to crack even more. He’s not full time (or even part time) on MTG th…

The reason they have the “nanny dog reputation” is because a breeder made it up in the 1970s and then it caught on through shares and likes through Facebook in the late 2010s. Ther…

The nanny-dog thing is a myth made up by a breeder and shared through basically Facebook chain letters. There is no historical basis that pits ever were recommended to watch babies…

The dish was not emulating anything like that, it just required a second set of chopsticks.

I’m actually curious here, not trying to question your experience but does other people’s food regularly contaminate your food when you eat at the same table as them? I’ve lived wi…

I ate at a very nice restaurant (think The Menu) in Kagaonsen last week and the main course was served with lacquered chopsticks but another course was served with disposable chops…

How recent? As recently as last weekend I was seeing blue check marks replying with AI generated only-technically-related replies on top of the majority of the posts I looked at.

While there are many Roguelikes with procedural generation, I think the most popular ones do not. Slay the Spire, Risk of Rain 2, Hades 1/2, BoE etc are all handmade stages with a …

Destroying speed cameras, especially the tire method, in the UK far predates ULEZ.

I've used my Facebook account once in the last decade, still keep it open as I have no reason to delete it and give up my parked identity (I share a name with a nationally recogniz…

I don’t think parent implied that that are the only options, they just gave examples that can fit into categories. Did you mean to add where your expensive polyester blend clothing…

I was shocked by the App Store yesterday. I was searching for a well known app made by a huge f500 company. Now, this app is by some distance the most used app in its category but …

Mine did until recently, which is the only state relevant to my comment.

Absolutely the right move, I buy as much physical media as makes sense (hence using Apple Music so I can merge the two listening types)

I see SO many illegally modified trucks and I've never seen or heard of someone getting in trouble or failing inspection for them. It boggles my mind every time I see a car with ti…

That seems unlikely as I literally left and did not buy a car with more options and stayed in contact afterwards but I have seen that technique before where they suddenly "find" on…

Just as an anecdote - When I was buying my last car I went in and asked for just the base model with nothing added onto it, ie not even the "eXtra Special" designations, and the de…

The best part about the F-150 is that it isn't even toddlers at that point. The most common F-150 variant I see in my area's hood goes up to my shoulder and I'm 2 meters tall. You …
