  • While that’s a fair point, it’s not the only example of planning ahead. I’m sure there’s plenty of other ways than the ones I came up with in a few seconds.

    They could also pick a drive throughs that have enough room to leave the line. Less common in cities but they’re still there.

    Edit: I’d also like to point out that their lights and sirens are designed specifically to get people’s attention and get them moved out of the way. More difficult if you’re trying to get a vehicle 10 cars up to move but it’s not like they’re stuck waiting like the rest of us would be.








  • Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?

    The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.

    It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it

    Someone calls and it rings, but the answer button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling

    Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call

    Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes

    And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage

    And the freezing! It regularly freezes for 20 seconds when doing anything in it

    I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is

    And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams. Sorry 😅


  • I see what you’re saying but they are specifically worried about anal sex. You’re welcome to switch up partners as much as you want as long as anal sex isn’t involved, which is much more likely and much easier for the heterosexual community.

    Same goes with prep. I’m sure that there are circumstances that would have individuals taking it that are not related to their sexual orientation.

    I’m just pointing out that despite the major improvement it still excludes gay men quite thoroughly from donating blood.

    Unfortunately it applies to gay men only. Our straight counterparts can switch up partners as much as they want.

    Well, it’d apply to bisexual men who’ve had male partners as well.

    I should also point out it doesn’t have to be new partners. Just if you’ve had more than one partner you can’t donate even if it’s an exclusive polygamous relationship.


  • Sort of. Still can’t donate if you’re taking prep (hiv preventative) or if you’ve had sex with multiple people.

    Need to be off prep for 3 months and not have sex with new or multiple partners.

    The no prep part is a tough ask. Especially with how healthcare is

    Much better than it was but it still excludes a huge portion of the community


  • This is not just an Apple thing. Planned obsolescence via stopping software support is an issue across the entire industry.

    iPhones generally get 7 years of security updates. Only 4ish for major updates though

    Samsungs get 5 years of security updates

    Huawei also has 5 years

    Samsung watches only get 4 years of support.

    Pixel watches get 3 years of support

    The Apple Watch 4 came out in 2018 and is losing software updates after 6 years.

    My point is this is an issue across the board and needs addressed across the board.



  • Visual studio and visual studio code are not the same thing. Visual Studio is a full IDE and is expected to have those features and is clunky because of them. Or was, not sure where it is now. It’d be in the same category as netbeans, eclipsed, and intellij

    Vs code is an enhanced lightweight text editor

    Notepad++ is the original enhanced lightweight text editor

    My point was that Notepad++ came out way before vs code and didn’t copy features from vs code.

    Copied from an ide, sure? Not really a good comparison as they are solving two different problems



  • I am pointing out that dealing with animals falls under animal control. Not police officers. The exception being an in progress attack and even then a gun probably isn’t the best choice considering the animal would be next to/on the person it’s attacking.

    The article points out that the reason is unclear. Based on what we know about how police offers act, how police departments respond, what punishments they face, and how they update their procedures/trainings, it draws a clear conclusion.

    The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear. Some factors include mistaken identity, warrantless searches, lack of training, and legal protections for police officers when using force, including against animals[1].
