Number of features that is has? Sure.

Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

As I use Excel at work, I’d be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?

I don’t use a sound bar because it’s cheap, I can get surround sound for half the price.

I use a sound bar because I don’t want speakers anywhere but on the TV, plus a subwoofer hidden away.

And it sounds waaay better than just the TV.

(Although the box said that it delivers surround sound, but in that respect it’s no better than the built in speakers, as expected.)

Jeg har ikke noget problem med at de sælger sæsonvarer tidligt. Men når de pynter op eller spiller julemusik før december eller 1. søndag i advent, så foretrækker jeg at handle et andet sted.

Hvis jeg kommer i julestemning i november, så bliver jeg træt af julen før det er jul.

They can just leave it at full.

I believe scientific studies say it’s somewhere around half of each.

The reason you don’t see that, is because it’s considered socially unacceptable to get socially drained, so we learn to hide it, usually from very young.

The point is they don’t have to proof if a piece of random data is indeed an encrypted blob.

But they do need to suspect it.

If they find an encrypted blob, ask for the decryption key, they decrypt the data and analyse the decrypted data, then they may not suspect that a different decryption key will reveal a different set of data.

I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.

Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I’m a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don’t see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.

Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don’t want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for “the blackness” (I’m very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.

So don’t just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.

As far as I can tell, there’s basically two kinds of people:

1 - People who just don’t care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there’s nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.

2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don’t always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That’s what they are already trying to do.

TeamViewer blocked me for using it commercially. I have no idea why, I’m only using it to support 3 family members.

Those conditions would be illegal to put a pig in here.

Are you talking specifically about Canadian police? Because here in Denmark, the police make a big effort to prevent crime. As far as I know, it works pretty well.

Of course not all possible efforts to prevent crime can be done by the police, a lot of it is up to the government.

If the competition is that high, the farmers will have very low profit margins. Any extra expense needs to be added to the price.

This won’t affect competition much, as all farmers have the same tax and therefore the same need for increased price.

The only noteworthy thing I see here (based on your information) is that the extra tax is per cow, but the price increase will be on the milk. This will hit farmers with lower amount of milk per cow. I guess this is farmers with more focus on quality and animal welfare.

When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

We have nothing compared to fx. London.

Where did you see cameras?

Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.

Security is a spectrum. Telegram has never been the most secure alternative, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any security.

“Barely ever”? Isn’t that enough?

My car can drive 4 people and their luggage. I need that every time my family goes anywhere.

But usually it’s just me and my laptop bag, maybe a couple of grocery bags.

So I’m that guy. Big car, rarely filled to capacity. What do you suggest I do? Buy two cars to reduce waste?

(Although mine is not an American pickup, it’s a European station car. If that changes anything.)

So $10 plus a $3 tip is “paying extra” to you people

Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That’s 3 more. Simple math.

you’re gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more

That’s a straw man argument. I probably won’t support a shitty owner at any price.

What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don’t care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.

I see a price, I either pay it or I don’t. There’s a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.

You’re welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.

Again, I don’t mind tipping if I actually get extra. I’m a big tipper, if I get more than I’m paying for.

just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism

Wow, that’s American level defense of capitalism. Where I’m from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.

Fair enough, they can both be shit. I just don’t see how it’s my responsibility as a customer, to fix the problem that the resto is underpaying its staff.

The way I usually do my part to help workers who are not treated well, is to boycott the employer. If tipping is seen as a solution to that problem, I’d call that enabling. Tipping is the only reason restos can get away with grossly underpaying their staff. I don’t want to support that.

Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is “a piece of shit”, and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?

I’m not having any of that. I’d rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.

I’ll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I’ve given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it’s a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I’m paying the advertised price.

if you would just live your life I don’t think you would call it a disorder, more like a different way of processing tasks

The more I learn about ADHD, the less I see it as a disorder. I see it more as a personality trait. Unfortunately most of our society is based on people not having that personality trait, making it harder to fit in.

On the other hand, if you’re lucky enough to find a lifestyle that fits your personality type, that personality type is actually very helpful, the opposite of a disorder.
