That’s very much in the spirit of “Stop being poor”.

Opera had this 20+ years ago. Once you get used to it, there’s no going back.

What’s next? Getting mad at the grocery store because other people are buying the same things you do?

Would’ve been perfect if they were switched.

I’ll use ChatGPT to not buy it.

Glad I bought a bunch of 20 TB ones some months back. I’m good for a few years.

Speakeasies were still a thing last time I checked.

It means you’re byelingual.

Given how greedy he is, you’ll have quite a lot of contributing to do.

Well… it depends on the language too - although I’m not a native English speaker, I would use 12-hour in spoken English too (like I would in my native Bulgarian) - often without even appending “AM” or “PM” because it would be obvious from the context.

Yeah, we get it, Bezos. You want us to shove more and more money down your throat.

Reading the article, the analogy with an own generator and the power grid kind of makes sense at first… until you also make an analogy with broadcast and cable TV for example - you don’t get to choose what’s on, and in the latter case you’re practically paying for ads and some programming in between. So… how about no.

My fear is that those shortages (artificial or not) might at one point really drive us in a different direction. My only option for now is to vote with my wallet and use my stuff for as long as practically feasible.

EU fella here. I’m strongly pro-Metric and yet don’t see a problem with 12-hour time. 24-hour is kind of clumsy to use in informal speech or chat/text, but I would use it in all other instances.

Earthquake detection kit.

On a serious note, my issue with these is that they’re plastic and when they eventually fall off they’ll become litter.

Yeah, but maybe remove the battery if the thing can run without it just on mains power. Leaving a battery plugged in (especially an old one) is not the best idea.

Some of those with printing on them would fade pretty badly.

Speak for yourself. You’re probably a native English speaker and have it easy.

That’s kind of like the practice of hiring someone and putting them on the bench just so that they don’t go work for a competitor. It’s just sad.
