  • The rules are made up and the points don't matter

  • Surely you're not implying that wanting to avoid unnecessary social interaction with overly familiar strangers means you have high anxiety? You could claim they're socially awkward but that's still pretty far from anxiety.

  • Valve’s plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows

  • How is CS2 working on it? I know I could just try to get it running myself on a spare pc, but I find that as I get older I dislike fiddling with things like this more and more. And while I'm fine with just playing games made to work properly on Linux, CS2 and it's predecessors is something me and my real life friends have been playing for nearly two decades. It's a way to keep in touch as everyone has kids and can't come to the pub during the weekend.

  • It's suggested more than it helps, especially on MS support pages, but for sure sfc fixes a particular set of problems. Out of about 16 times I've used it professionally it's solved the issue about 12 or so times. (In 20 years, so damn you for making me feel old) And when it didn't it's usually because the file is also corrupt in dllcache.

    Chkdsk is/was useful, imho, if you run it with the /r parameter. In my experience it became irrelevant for user systems with ssd's.

    Both are tools. Don't blame the tool for being used for something they're not meant for. You could technically use a power drill to hit nails in a wall, sometimes, but someone suggesting a power drill in place of a hammer doesn't mean it's a bad tool.

  • Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English

    Jump

  • Man that's crazy, I speak French with an undertone of a Belgian accent, but pretty close to French general accent (I know every dept has their accent, chill!), but Canadians have an extremely heavy and weird non standard accent compared to other people.

  • Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.

  • Some reason being that if you don't maintain a certain temperature in your house you'll get mildew problems.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

    Jump

  • Fair point that roads should be designed a lot better, but in the mean time, if you're going to be driving on roads that got put down originally 50 years ago without cycling paths and no lights in the middle of farmland. Wear the high Viz gear or make sure you have working lights and reflectors.

  • What? Where is this? In Belgium you'd get pulled over for sure. Depending on if the car could get made road legal again it could get towed too.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!

    Jump

  • In Belgium at least they are required (reflectors aren't on all styles of bikes), problem is that cyclists often have battery powered lights which are not very bright to the point you could say they are not even working. And in my experience it really renders cyclists invisible at night until you almost run into them.

    In that sense high-viz vests definitely help because they usually make them stand out more than even normal lights.

    Ofcourse this is mostly needed in the places with no separate infrastructure and no street lights. (Edit: which is what the situation is in near where I live, the shortest route to bike is through farmlands with no infrastructure for bikes and no streetlight ms for sections of it. I'd personally love better and separate infrastructure since it's basically part of the reason why avoid biking there during the lang dark winter)

  • Fair enough, though from my use case, which was mostly support, it worked fantastic.

  • Salesforce specifically? Global availability for 1000's of users simultaneously. While integrating with mail and VoIP services are easy ones off the top of my head. It's extremely expensive but a hidden cost on top of that is actually configuring and maintaining it well. The initial fine-tuning for large orgs will take years for example. But if it's done it's actually a joy to work with, especially if you switched from a half-baked solution like a graphical shell over a FoxPro database or something.

    At a previous employer of mine the helpdesk side was integrated to it and it was brilliant. All calls and mails were autoregistered and after using it for a while more and better answer templates were included. (Templates we could modify with situation specific parts as well) The template approval process was another great example as technical experts from different continents were part of a review committee to make sure only good solutions were allowed, and after that local experts could add translations of the templates.

    I'm sure there are many things morally wrong with Salesforce the company, but a well implemented instance of it is a dream to work with.

  • No getting your wheels stuck in tram tracks either. Not relevant everywhere ofcourse but in places where they have trams plenty of people fall and get injured because of tram tracks.

  • Discussions like this are always a good reminder that area descriptions are different across the world. I live in what is considered a rural area here(in a small terraced house where houses where already there when the Ferrari maps of the Southern Netherlands where drawn in 1780...). Farms everywhere. Behind the terraced housing and small apartments. Still have a population density of 500 people per km². And our public transport is shit outside of the typical congestion hours. Personally I wish they'd both put tram tracks down again with a dedicated track cars can't drive on and improve the cycling paths to be more safe. Guess I'm part of the problem driving an EV, but it gets me to work in 15 minutes. While with public transport it'd 90 minutes if nothing happens when I need to go from one bus to the other. And there simply are no safe cycling paths. (And no showers at work) Shopping I can do by bike or by walking though.

  • Study shows EV owners have bigger carbon footprint than average because they are wealthier

    Jump

  • Interesting. Though I'd love to see more studies on this and especially ones comparing countries. I know that in Belgium it seems many EV owners also own solar panels and are at least more likely to also have batteries. And the rich people can actually afford to build more climate neutral houses with heat pumps. (As heat pumps here are more expensive than heating with gas which is less efficient)

    Apart from that I always figured ev's are a great solution to local pollution: cars driving through streets, idling through intersections etc. Less so for global pollution though across their life they should still be better I thought.

  • This has been debunked, unfortunately, male cats do this too, and they don't teach kittens to hunt.

    It is believed now, they simpltdo this because they want to bring their prey to their core territory. Which is also where you are.

  • In combat sports there's a lot of derision for women who look too strong. Instead of complementing their training regiment and dedicated they get called ugly and a man all the damn time.

    On the other end usually those same trolls will call women who train and still look feminine to be gold diggers training with so many men, that's for posting pictures of themselves training, making weight etc. And send them dm's offering money to be choked out.
