You are saying what I’m saying, and what everybody else is saying. But with a tone of defending it, as if it can’t be better.

Don’t give any customer your “trash pile”. Either take the time to do it right, or throw away the trashpile, or accept that customers feels like people are saying they feel.

Don’t make up excuses, the things you say you won’t do is not what is needed.

Things are done very, very differently here than most places.

Maybe that’s the problem. Everybody else has figured it out. I know you can’t change that, but lots of people could if they wanted to.

If I have a strip of, say, 10 pills, 2 rows of 5, and I get a prescription for 6 pills, that means I’m gonna have a strip of 4 pills left over. If I get a prescription for 9 pills, there’s gonna be a single one left over. Do you want these pills to just be thrown away?

Order of 6 pills - give a 3x2, you now have a 2x2.

Order 9 pills - give the 2x2 and a 1x5, you now have a 1x5.

I see your problem, but I don’t see how that can turn into “a 10x1, a 4x1, a 2x1 and another 2x1” as your best choice. That looks like he got the left-over-pile after a day of ever order getting from a new pack.

Honestly, I don’t know why you even have to open a package. I’ve never seen that, and I’ve been in some long pharmacy queues. Never been to US though.

If I need exactly 10 pills, I get a box with 10 pills, packed in a factory like any other box of pills.

This alone is enough for me, to consider Windows a bad choise.

I’ve said that line so many times.

Then I misread it. He seemed like he expected a beginner-friendly experience.

If he is experienced, and use Debian as an example of how Linux is not beginner-friendly, then he must be trolling.

Debian was not a great choise, it is not for beginners. I wonder why you chose that one.

If you want to try again, I recommend using a distribution that is recommended for beginners. For example Ubuntu.

Really? It seems to me that wherever I go they use the same plug*, and I can charge with my debit card. (Except one place in Germany, but I think it was an error in the payment system.)

Yes, there’s technically two different plugs, but they go in the same socket in my car. It just that the fast ones have a larger plug.

The problem is that some of them are much cheaper if you have the right card, but I believe the most expensive ones are still cheaper than fueling an ICE car.

Yeah, that seems like a much bigger problem.

I haven’t read it, but it could be to demonstrate how easy it was to identify it as a fake, without the ressources of BBC.

Yes, there it obviously means “no parking”. You were complaing about the little bits between the parking spots. Right?

I don’t see the problem. Don’t park outside the marked area. Red line is reminding you, because lots of people think the marked rectangle is a suggestion.

Doesn’t that just mean “stay within the lines”? Which you probably must do anyway, so it’s just a reminder?

This is such an odd post. So many details that are highly debatable, not many important details.

For example, is the egg refrigerated or room temperature? That changes the timing a lot. Talking about accurate timing is pointless without at least some idea of the initial temperature.

I don’t use a ice bath, or any kind of cooling down for hardboiled eggs. I don’t really have a problem peeling them, unless they are very fresh.

I own my data. I own my installation. That’s what I care about.

Why would I want to own the hardware, when it’s in an inaccessible building far away.

Lithium-* batteries don’t actually have any specific useful numbers. It’s something like this (the actual numbers are pulled out of my ass and depends on battery time and test parameters and even then I’m simplifying):

• At 0 volts, the battery is dead.

• At 1 volts, the battery is practically dead.

• Discharging to 2 volts kills it after around 100 times.

• Discharging to 3 volts kills it after around 10 000 times

• Discharging to 3.5 volts kills it after 100 000 times

• Charging to 4 volts kills it after 100 000 times

• Charging to 4.2 volts kills it after 10 000 times

• Charging to 4.3 volt kills it after 1000 times

• Charging to 4.4 volts kills it after 100 times

• Charging to 4.5 has s significant chance of it catching fire

Now choose how many charge cycles you want it to survive, and you know which voltage to consider 0% and which to consider 100%. The bigger difference, the bigger capacity with the same battery.

This is why a phone with 0% battery can tell you that it’s out of battery.

You can also adjust what “killed” means. Is it when battery capacity is reduced to 80%? 50%?

I have to repeat - the numbers are not accurate, and this is strongly simplified.

It’s just an illustration of what 0% and 100% means it’s just where you are on the useful range, according to the manufacturers definition of useful.

Just to be clear: Do you want a way to save anything interesting that might happen, or do you want to save everything as automatically as possible?

Not all foreigners are criminals. But all members of a gang are gang members.

Isn’t it illegal in US, to be a member of an organization that has an obviously criminal purpose and/or obviously criminal methods?

What is the odds that court is where you go?

There’s so many other outcomes I keep hearing about in your news, but I don’t know the odds.

Once upon a time it was like that. I don’t remember which decade I saw that last.

I remember this. From the 90’s.

Autosave has existed AND been the default so long that taking it for granted is now actually okay.

This is not related cloud storage or corporates spying on users. It’s just autosave. That’s all it takes.

Then represent the person like that, but not worse.

Plenty of people in history is presented as pure bad, but reality is more complex.

For example, we know Adolf Hitler as one of the worst people in history (at least here where I live). But he did a lot of good for Germany. At the time, this is what he was known for, and that is why he was popular enough to be democratically elected.

But if we only know him as a purely bad person, we will not recognize the next Hitler before it’s too late. We will see a person doing good stuff, but with signs that too many people will ignore.

There’s also the idea that when you do good, you deserve to be recognized for that, no matter what else you’ve done. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also to encourage more of that.

Argh, that sucks.
