Moving to another country is a nightmare because you cannot bring your phone number. I am currently paying for a US phone number I don't meaningfully use, because it's not clear th…

My experience is that the major limiting factor in finding partners is whether people "click" with me, not whether people are single. In other words I'm better off going to an even…

Arguably the problem is that copyright enforcement has been farmed out to private middlemen with a fast and loose process.

Do you still feel uncomfortable if you cannot see outside the train at all (i.e. not even in peripheral vision)? My understanding was that the effect was caused by the scenery outs…

Discreet users, or discrete users? (I initially assumed you meant discreet, i.e. not wanting to share login details, but the comment read oddly as a result.)

> it endears users This time I am speaking solely for myself, but your grammar alienates and enrages me.

I watched the demo video but I can't get over using E in the bass in bar 5, where D would normally be expected. (Yes, it should be possible to use chord V11 here instead of IV if y…

You only have to counterfeit it to the standard of Amazon's returned-items check though, not to the OEM's standard.

The point is to find a way to have the 90% questions answered by a machine, and the 10% by an expert human. And LLMs are (another step towards) making it hard to argue that this is…
