Most consumers don't buy their own routers. The only time I've helped people buy routers in the last decade is to get one you could install a vpn on. Looking at the wireless standards never crossed our minds.

candybrie ,

That's more adult slang for vagina. Little kid euphemism would be something like hooha or twinkle.

candybrie ,

You can't see the baby without the ultrasound. It's not like you could grab a speculum and get a good look in person.

candybrie ,

You call called them vagoos. I'm not sure you have much room to judge.

candybrie ,

You're not viewing cunt cells in ultrasounds people share. You'd be viewing a fetus, uterus, placenta. But that's all internal. Not external.

candybrie ,

Exactly. XY is not at all a hindrance to lactation. Because XY and XX nipples are the same. It's just hormones (usually while pregnant) that make them function.

candybrie ,

Why do you think of vulvas as pointy?

candybrie ,

I don't think I particularly want a pointy sounding word for vulva because I don't think of vulvas as pointy. I was just curious why you want a pointy word rather than a round one.

candybrie ,

If you know what the Gettysburg address is about, I'd be absolutely shocked if you didn't know who delivered it.

candybrie ,

They said service the debt, not pay off the whole thing. For an analogy, your whole mortgage being less than your annual salary isn't a requirement; your monthly mortgage payment being a fraction of your monthly salary is.

candybrie ,

You're discounting the people who have always lived within their means and so never took on debt. They also don't have good credit. They've never missed a payment. They're good for the money. But they don't have a history showing that because they've never needed that.

candybrie ,

I'm saying people who don't play this credit game but otherwise are good financially also think it's dumb. Not just bad risks.

candybrie ,

The person you expect to be sad also wanted to end the relationship because they realized they wanted children and were married to someone who didn't. It isn't just about the perspective/agenda of the trans person.

If I was faced with a choice between breaking someone who I loved's heart or never being a mother, it would be relieving to have that no longer be weighing on me.

candybrie ,

If everyone stopped eating meat, would there still be slaughter houses in 5 years?

candybrie ,

Periods going away or getting lighter is a side affect of hormonal IUDs. Copper IUDs have no mechanism to make them go away, and seem to pretty commonly make cramps and bleeding worse.

candybrie ,

The difference between you and many of the people you're arguing with is your confidence that there will be another election after Trump wins.

candybrie ,

Sounds plausible. The main thing peds worry about for toddlers primarily subsisting off milk is iron deficiency. Potatoes have iron and vitamin c.

candybrie ,

Why kill the dog? It didn't listen to her, embarrassed her, and she couldn't have that. Why admit to it? People already knew about it; she thought she could get in front of the story by spinning it as "hard decisions had to be made" rather than "sociopath murders dog."

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

candybrie ,

On my phone if I hold down on the suggested word in the keyboard area, I can delete it from "learned words." This is only really helpful if it's a typo that isn't also a real word.

candybrie ,

Sometimes, I confuse cramps and hunger pangs. There's also cravings that can be associated with periods.

candybrie ,

More like it doesn't know how to do math. Or it might hallucinate transactions. Current AI is fine when things don't need to be correct or you can iterate until they are. Accounting generally doesn't work like that.

candybrie ,

If you just messed up, the penalty is... paying the tax you should have originally. Or receiving the refund you should have originally.

It's only if you are actually committing fraud (which requires intent) that you go to jail.

candybrie ,

Some people also get mild to severe reactions to pizza. They're sensitive to night shade. Or lactose intolerant. Or have celiac's. Or are allergic to one of the toppings.

candybrie ,

In California, that actually sounds extremely useful.

candybrie ,

Sturgies was talking about the person confusing the two. Shou was talking about the person staring into the void. Confusion ensues

How do you send different supplier's water down the same pipes while making sure customers get the supplier they're paying for's water?

candybrie , (edited )

Tap water is not just water. Water has a bunch of other things in it besides water. The main reason I can think to choose a different water supplier than the cheapest is the water quality. If the cheap supplier is gonna crap up all the water for everyone else, what's anyone incentive not to go with the cheap supplier? Doesn't that pretty quickly devolve into a monopoly?

With electricity, it is just electricity and people have opinions about how that electricity is generated. But even there, it's usually not a good thing. It leads to high pressure, scammy sales tactics that result in higher bills for no benefit.

candybrie ,

If you're all using the same wires, you're subjected to those problems even if you don't contract with them. So multiple suppliers doesn't fix the issue. It just introduces more suppliers who can have those problems.

candybrie ,

If the only difference is price, how does that not just devolve into a monopoly or shitty sales tactics to try to trick people into paying more for the same product?

candybrie ,

There's also a sort of 1b. They're into you but are playing games like "hard to get." Again, do you really want to be with someone playing games with you? It's exhausting.

candybrie ,

"Also" doesn't make sense in context.

I think this miscommunication is more on you for taking it as an attack towards yourself when it was pretty clearly suspicious towards at&t, not you. In the future, I suggest trying to read things as charitably as possible. It will make forums a much more pleasant place if you don't immediately assume aggression based on pretty innocuous words.

candybrie ,

At&t lost a bunch of people's SSNs

Why do they even have SSNs to lose?

To check for terrorism

(Also/but) that doesn't mean they need to store it.

Be honest. Which word actually makes sense?

candybrie ,

You know what the plan to store a lot of nuclear waste in America is? Bury it in west nowhere, Texas.

candybrie ,

1TB is good for an SSD. But the main reason anyone gets a HDD is to get storage sizes that they can't really afford in SSDs currently.

candybrie ,

A permit is a learner's license, and it looks like you can get them starting at 15 in Oregon, which is the case in most states.

candybrie ,

Generally, they're described as part of the men's liberation movement. The men's movement split decades ago into men's rights movement, which often comes at the issue from a more conservative premise that views feminism as going to far and eroding men's rights, and the men's liberation movement which generally is more liberal and wants to critically look at traditional masculinity and how those expectations may harm men.

candybrie ,

They're not nuking every copy of windows 10 when the service lifetime ends. They're just not working on it anymore. If you think the regular maintenance is just updating the spyware and ads, you should be stoked.

candybrie ,

As for home users, with each newer generation, they become more tech savy

Pretty sure the opposite is true at this point.

candybrie ,

The people who can't tell the difference between 720p and 4k seem like the least likely to try changing their operating system.

candybrie ,

If we're talking about home desktop users (I'm including laptops, but not phones/tablets), I think that number is on the decline. 10-20 years ago, you generally needed a computer to function. Now, I use my desktop for some games and to do taxes. And last year, I actually did taxes on my phone (I had newborn twins so sitting down at a computer for any meaningful amount of time was not happening). It was a little bit of a pain, but totally do-able. My mom didn't bother getting another desktop after hers died a year ago.

Mobile devices usually don't encourage tech savviness and it seems to be the direction most personal use of computers is going.

candybrie ,

It's usually not "To residents in California" but "...contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause..." So they're just referencing the list California keeps. Which may be different than anyone else's list.

There's actually a good number of things: windshield wipers, blinkers, cruise control, climate control, defrost, headlights, hazards, and gear (prndl). You'd be surprised at which of these some companies have tried to put on the touch screen.

candybrie ,

Are you counting the stalks behind the wheel as on the steering wheel?

candybrie ,

I'm definitely taking my hand off the wheel to operate things like headlights or wiper speed, which are dials on the end of a stalk. It would be really difficult not to.

candybrie ,

As soon as someone made recaptcha.

candybrie ,

Right? Even when skimming papers, it's usually: read title & abstract, look at figures, skim results & conclusion. If you don't notice that the figure doesn't have real words, how is anyone making sure the methodology makes sense? That the results show what the conclusion says they show?

candybrie ,

Prices usually don't fall. Falling prices are generally seen as really bad. Prices instead stop going up so fast.

candybrie ,

Damn those visual people. Remembering what things look like rather than what they're called. Bunch of idiots.
