Uh… So no gift. Got it.

Just tell him respectfully, sometime.

As a parent, myself:

• I totally don’t mind if my kids tell me they can hear me. I appreciate knowing our communication lines are open.
• I am still going to continue having (probably still loud) sex in the house. Unless my kids fully paying a roommate’s share of the costs to run the home, they’re still kids, not roommates.
• I’ll probably buy the kid some nice noise suppressing audio headset as a shopping surprise, sometime soon.

Great analogy.

I think it’s fair to tweak it and leave that second library with full accountability for the lack of desirability.

Domain names don’t start out undesirable, they build their reputation from the content and users.

So it’s like building a second library in a perfectly nice spot, and having that library attract people who dump pollution into the surrounding area, making it undesirable.

Ooh, neat.

A manufacturer phone pre-installed with LineageOS would be awesome.

Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,

True.

he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length…

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in “Dave the Diver” is pretty good.

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
