You think Elon stole this research money?

So much bad play calling in this game.

I'm also on K9, while not the prettiest, it's much better than it was.

If you weren't aware Thunderbird and K9 have teamed up. On the roadmap for this year including updating the message view and a major overhaul of the UI:

The K-9 interface looks outdated, does not conform to the current material design (Android platform) standards. We intend to bring it up-to-date with these as well as fix some workflow issues. https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/android-roadmap

That'll happen as long as people keep buying them.

It's not at all capitalism. ISPs are a regulated monopoly. If it were capitalism there'd be a choice.

Try starting your own ISP, the government in your towb wont let you. At most this is crony capitalism.

Yep, but i closed my reddit account a while ago. I feel like reddit karna makes conversations less thoughtful. Everyone wants to post a quick quip and get karma, making the conversation pretty useless.

Florida checking in: it's good for your skin! I don't like getting sweaty in the 10seconds it takes to walk to my truck, but i prefer it over everything else.

Speaking English isn't a requirement to be in the country.

Really depends on the city. NYC can be insanely expensive. In Manhattan a "cheap" beer (Miller Lite) is $8. Any half way decent dinner is going to run $30-40 per person. In the SE US, you can get beers as cheap as $2 or $3 on happy hour, or $4 regular, and a good meal for $20 per person.

When I'm traveling I try to accept things are going to cost more than at home, it's all relative.

Keypad deadbolt lock for my front door. Not a "smart lock" (I try not to have anything online outside my house). I haven't pulled a key out of my pocket in years.

If it died I would buy one same day.

I'm available to assist. I'm eastern time and usually available after working hours.

When I was younger: Vanilla ice cream & maple syrup. Talk about a sugar high!

Has to be Freaks and Geeks!

Like many others here, travel. I would also like to get into gardening and become a better cook.

Thanks, I'll do my best!

In my current job it's very typical, but that's because we do contract work and shift devs around where the money is. It's disruptive and we try not to, but sometimes it can't be avoided.

At my previous dev job it happened very infrequently, usually only when there was an organizational change.

It's not at all natural, and would not have happened if government didn't step it to create a "regulated monopoly".

Fast food, gas stations, supermarkets, etc are all unregulated^1^ and there's countless offerings there. That's capitalism. This is crony capitalism. These companies work with the government to lock out competition.

1 - Yes, these industries have regulation, but there's no regulation whatsoever on opening an identical business next to an existing one. We see it all the time, a lowes next to homedepot, burger king next to mcdonalds, etc.
