Yes, they asked for a reminder, not a conversation. Parents have to choose their battles. Demanding non-standard behaviour in order to do a required parenting thing like helping your child remember stuff is a really stupid hill to die on!

Texts are less important than email, and less urgent than a phone call. It's ridiculous to think it's rude not to reply, especially for kids who probably get 5-10 texts an hour.

If something's important enough to you that you want a definite response eventually, send an email. If it requires immediate communication, call. Don't apply false rules of politeness just to get a response out of your kid!

 

It looks enormous! I can't even begin to tell you the sheer breadth of disciplines you'll see there. Leatherworking, welding, chainsaw wood milling, blacksmithing, sewing, glassblowing, jewelrymaking, silversmithing, resin-building, timber-framing, knifemaking, machining, woodworking, plasma cutting...

OK, it turns out I could and did begin to tell you. Never mind, just look at the schedule (https://catskillmountainmakerscamp.com/maker-camp-2023...) and demonstrators (https://catskillmountainmakerscamp.com/demonstrators).

I'll support Senators not having a dress code when there isn't one for anyone else working in Congress...

See the other answers for why this isn't really right, but given 4 dimensional spacetime, if that 'pixel' did exist, it would look like a hypercube/tessaract. A constantly stretching and twisting but approximate one, anyway.

Imagine how amazing the PR would have been if the title had been: "User gets spectator seating for a SpaceX launch in return for lost handle"

Nothing better than your first brew....

I can often dig into the source and quickly figure out what's broken.

And for the 99.9% of humanity for whom that is either impossible, or a dreadful slog,

On Windows, I'm usually shit outta luck. Gotta trawl through tons of messy forums and bullshit SEO-optimised blogspam sites

While this^ is a practical option... This^ is a practical optionof hu

This reminds me of one of those documentaries where they show some ridiculous mechanical contraption in a scene, and the narrator says, "Before the technology became extinct, it had become vastly more complex and sophisticated, but alas, it's days were numbered..."

Ah-hah! Thank you. I figured me being stupid was the explanation...

 

How can one set the Connect app such that the main feed only shows posts to subscribed communities?

I feel like this should be easy/I must be stupid...

I'd give him a significantly better than average chance of being for real. I have several friends who work in a local biotech lab who've watched his videos from whom the responses have been along the lines of "Huh, yeah, I suppose you could do it that way, if you had no money and lots of know-how..."

I mean, didn't they fuck everyone?
