Why?

28 pounds = 12.7kg, for those wondering.

If your individuality is all tied up in your physical appearance, try to develop your mind a bit.

Kind of condescending, no? Also, they’re kids. Teenagers especially are all about their phsyical appearance… and their minds are developing.

It is kinda annoying when you’re in a rush and need something right there on the spot, but it says it has to update before you can use it, and then you’re there for what feels like an eternity.

Agreed, but other cloud providers exist and it would be good if there was stronger competition in this space. But going back to self hosting is a huge step back and I think if a CTO said they were going to move from the cloud back to a self hosted solution, pretty much everyone would hate it.

Bit of an over-reaction to one incident. I’d be willing to bet the uptime, reliability and scalability of AWS is significantly better than what the vast majority of in-house solutions could do. It’s absolutely not worth going back.

Millions of customers using AWS also weren’t affected - the company I work for certainly wasn’t, although some of our tools like Jira were.

I don’t care enough to warrant spending any little free time I have fucking about installing a different OS and with all the challenges it would come with.

From a UK perspective:

The pensioners would never vote for party that would introduce something like this. They HATE the idea of younger generations getting “free money”. Honestly they’re the real problem. But they’re the demographic that vote the most and have a huge sway.

Just don’t point out to them how their triple locked pensions are probably the biggest financial cost to our [UK] country…

Technology has been replacing manual labour for a long time, this is hardly surprising. Some jobs will be created though as the robots need monitoring and maintenance.

Why would they have to come in at 7am?

I like the “maybemaybemaybe” sub and also just seeing more diverse takes on current topics. Plus the formula1 subreddit has way more discussion.

My new account has insufficient karma to post (another petty rule)

This drives me up the wall, especially when they don’t even tell you how much you need. I get why they do it, but it just promotes shit-posting in other subreddits for the sole purpose of being able to post in another subreddit.

No, and it’s literally not once ever been mentioned between my wife and I in regards to our son. It’s an absolute non-issue and it’s never been something that’s been mentioned with any previous partners.

Really it depends on the individuals and what their home and office environments are like. I work from home 95% of the time and much prefer it over being in the office, but if I lived in a house share with housemates or had very little space then I’d probably feel more productive in the office.

One thing I do miss about commuting is the return journey. It was nice to have a gap to decompress from work before getting home, now it’s straight off calls and 10 seconds later I’m dealing with a trillion questions from the kids and immediately start cooking dinner.

Running. I’m slow and can’t run particularly far for how long I’ve been doing it.

And you had to tell us about it thrice!

Probably several times a year. My best mate lives in a different country, everyone has young kids so things always take ages to arrange.

What don’t you like about it? Not enough content or the politics?

“Yes, but I’ll be quick, I promise.”

Isn’t quick.

The meal planning app that I use got bought out by Samsung and they did this. Put a load of ads in and then advertised a “+” version that got rid of ads. The ads were just advertising the “+” feature. 12 months later they said they were going to remove the ads for everyone.
