  • Yes, there is one now! And if you squint really hard the coffee one brushes against the question.

  • It was about doing something seemingly unrelated and simple that helped to learn something more profound. Not seeing it in most (any?) of the answers.

  • I didn't understand the question so came to read the replies out of curiosity but couldn't work it out so searched the web for what wax-on-wax-off meant. Now I think nobody else understood the question either.

  • Shush! Lennart might hear you!

  • Many political questions are reasonable to disagree on but many others are also ethical ones with gaps that cannot be bridged.

  • I'm just an emacs ... enjoyer (...?) and I just don't understand the post. I'm pretty sure buffers here refer to something different from emacs buffers as they're completely unrelated to clipboards. Then from a quick scan of the plug-in mentioned it seems to mimic the clipboard ring emacs has had for many decades (always?).

    Basically I have no idea what's going on here.

  • Oh now, let's not imagine the majority would say no thanks to profligate consumption if they had the means.

    The problem is the system (or lack thereof) that allows it to happen, not so much which individuals win the absurd game.

    And the threshold of consumption where you're pay of the problem is a lot lower than most people want to face.

  • Well lvm makes a shit filesystem and btrfs is useless at volume management.

  • For paid service I like the simple "of course" recognizing that is what I'm here for and it's normal. No faux generosity nor implication of a tolerated imposition.

  • You owe me

    So by saying you are welcome to their action, people are actually saying the opposite? That you are not welcome to it at all? You're saying it's ironic?

  • It varies regionally. While "you're welcome" is not at all unusual in the UK, it's nowhere near as expected and standard as it is in the US.

    I often hear "not at all" as a response, just like "de nada". It's also common in the UK not to respond at all, as the thanks are expected.

  • Huh, to me, YW is much more gracious and positive that you're happy to do it, while NP is more like "it was a tolerable burden".

    Though for paid service I don't like expected faux enthusiasm. I think "of course" is classy and not demeaning then, meaning "it's what I'm here for".

  • That was the point they were making. GitHub is to git as the snap store is to snap, albeit there are existing alternatives to GitHub.

  • So when you said sucrose you really meant various sugars. Because sucrose is a molecule and all the same, and what it comes with is what makes the difference, as per OP's question.

  • when we can power the whole grid on renewables

    Hooo boy, theres a massive leap behind that statement. Don't forget the production and decommissioning of that infrastructure, and the vehicles.

    Electric cars are slightly less bad that ICEs. They're still utterly unsustainable and part of the problem, not the solution.

  • I just retried an earlier failure. When I search for the address with "avenue" it works but with "ave" it goes "I have no idea what you could possibly mean"

  • I'm the UK the stop lines are not set back 15ft from the intersection. I don't really understand your point, or certainly how it is relevant to the question, which is effectively "why are American stop lines different from British stop lines".

  • Keep in mind, there’s a lot more that goes into the wildly superior Dutch infrastructure than just which streets get bike lanes along them

    I thought that was largely my point.

  • but most of them aren’t protected

    That said, the North end has a wonderful separated bike lane.

    Well there I part ways with a lot of local pro-cycling opinion. Separated lanes are only superior under tightly controlled design, and most around here are far from that and give an entirely false sense of security. They're often hidden behind parked cars and every intersection is highly stressful minefield of interactions with drivers completely unaware of your presence. That Commercial St path in the North end is not separated at all from pedestrians and is (belligerently) considered by most joggers to be a their path, and pedestrians don't think of looking before lurching into it unpredictably. Even the stretches where the pedestrian area is 15-20ft wide, the majority of joggers use the bike path, and where it's crossed by side streets and parking entrances, cars will just blow through your path.

    The Seaport Blvd "separated lane" is f'ing lethal. The Somerville Beacon St lane made things significantly worse IMO. I commuted that regularly before when there was just a big wide lane rideable without any drama or difficulty. After the new lane I only rode it 30 or so times and with the near misses I experienced or witnessed mean I avoid that route eastbound if at all possible. Now it's a hidden lane behind parked cars where motor traffic often doesn't notice cyclists and blows right across your path.

    Separated lanes are the ideal when they're done right, following best practices, e.g. from the Dutch, which means not on roads with many crossing intersections, and at intersections the lane needs to be carefully managed with a significant period pulled out clearly beside the motor traffic lane before the crossing.

    After a dooring 18 years ago I've been very careful passing parked cars in general, but a false sense of security in a segregated lane, and a brief failure to recognize the danger, means I was doored again 3 months ago, from the left. Frankly it just confirmed what I've been feeling over the last few years about unsophisticated "separated lanes good" attitudes. A lane painted alongside traffic is often not inferior in reality, in my experience, even if (and sometimes because) it doesn't make people feel so secure.
